be broken, and it would appear
that, the 1959 undefeated Br-
enham ’Cubs football team
broke their share of them.
While schoolboy marks are
seldon ever kept over a long
period of time, it is believed
the Cubs broke at least six
single-season Brenham re-
cords. They include most ga-
mes played, most games with- r
out a loss, most carries by an
individual, best punting aver-
age, and most passes caught
for more yardage by an indi-
vidual.
In all probability, the Cubs
also made the most total of-
fense yards ever- 4.657. They
rushed for 3,342 yards and
passed for 1,315.
Of course, the figures can
in no way serve to compare
the relative merits of any past
teams, and they are not pre-
sented for that purpose since
severa' rules changes have
been made over the years af-
fecting the game. But the final
statistics bear out that the-
1969 Cubs were a potent team..
Unfortunately, defensive st-
. atistics are never complete,
so the defensive heroes of the
