1961 FOOTBALL TEAM
Season Forecast
Football Coach Hubert Doub says
that the 1961 squad is in excellent
physical condition and the boys
are very eager to continue the sea
son now underway. The Broncos
are small but mighty, and their
hustle and enthusiasm means that
the Broncos will be trouble for
every team that they play.
Coach Doub expects all oppon
ents to outweigh the Broncos in
the line and also the backfield, but
he hopes that the speedy Bronco
backs and the hard, fast-charging
Bronco linemen will make up by
their speed what they lack in
weight.
The Broncos lost a few veterans
that were expected to return this
season, but the freshman group
looks very promising. Thus the
coaching staff hopes to give the
fans a good brand of college foot
ball and fairly successful season.

Where’s Our School Spirit Basketball Clinic
LINDA VINCENT
My criticism of FSTC lies in the
limited amount of school spirit
which .^t times is quite noticeable
at our home games. The good se
lection of cheers and yells is very
stimulating to the crowd, but I
think we are forgetting our team.
On Saturday afternoon preced-
-ip.S-the Hampton game, the quad
rangle echoed with the tremendous
shouts and cheers from the stu
dents—but at the game the cheer
leaders literally begged the spec
tators to cheer along with them.
What happened to us? Our boys
were out there on the field trying
with all their might to bring our
team on to victory, but where was
their support? After Hampton’s
first T.D. a lot of people took the
attitude “Oh well, we’re going to
lose anyway, so why should I
make myself hoarse.” This atti
tude will give the team the im
pression that you, the students,
don’t care so why should they go
out and “break their necks” for
you.
As mentioned previously, I think
the cheers are entertaining to the
spectators but that is not the main
purpose of a cheer. A cheer is sup
posed to be directed to the players
on the field to let them know that
we are with them all the way. We
should have more yells such as
“Block that kick,” Hit’em again,
harder-harder,” “Push ’em Back,”
“Hold that line,” just to let the
team know that we know what’s
going on. (Ed.’s note: Incidentally,
these cheers were used at our
Homecomng Game.) Let’s show
more school spirit at all our games.

play of the defensive unit went on
to defeat the Falcons of St. Augus
