Technically the Panthers play class-B ball-not in the same league as the class-AAAA juggernauts from the big-city schools in Dallas. But to the 1,000 or more fiercely partisan fans who cram old Fritz Pfluger's renovated cow pasture for each home game, they seem as good as the pros. Since 1958 they have scored 2,073 points to the opposition's 223, and it looks as if it may be Pflugerville über alles forever.

...crazy" and "way out" in their ancient-history courses. The Jetsons have a robot maid, a sort of Hazel with gears. Father comes home from work and says he has had a hard day at the button. Little Elroy asks his mother to tell him the story about the cow that degravitated over the moon. The show is silly and unpretentious, corny and clever, now and then quite funny...
