In naming the local gridders
to the mythical championship
team of all Central Texas, the

was a bulwark for the Buffa-
loes during the past season and
played a large role in their
fine defensive record.”
“Placke, a 210-pound junior,
was the heart of the Buffalo
defense.” “Richter picked up
close to 900 yards during the
'57 season."
Second team honors went to
Curtis Urban as an offensive
guard and Gerald Zoch as a
defensive linebacker.

tion went to End Mike Schmidt,
