While the coaches all try to impress
certain values on their

premium on winning. The program
has a tradition of producing

that tradition causes the players
to work hard to stay number one.

Tiny Indians' teams, its winning
tradition is a driving force.
"We have a very young team
this year," says Eaton, who took
his team to the championship in
his first year as head coach a yearv
ago. "This is the first time that
most of them have played
organized football.
"We only have five players
that played on the team last
year," Eaton says, "but they
stressed to the other players from
the first day of practice that it
_ would take a lot of work to have
a good team/"
The team has gone undefeated

As mentioned earlier, the program's
Junior Pee Wee team had
been the starting point for players
in the program. However, the
team has added a Mighty Mite
team this year on an experimental
basis.
The Mighty Mites, made up of
players ages 7 through 9 who
weigh under 75 pounds, is designed
to orient players to organized
football prior to the Junior Pee
Wees.
"The Mighty Mites will help
me Kias gain an unaerstanding of
what it's like to play organized
football," says Bobby Linville,
player representative for the Tiny I
Indians. "It gives the kids ex- i
posure to football at an earlier |
age, so that, when they get to the
Junior Pee Wee level, they will |
already be prepared to play. H
i
^ think it will help the program,"
Linville adds. "We
decided to try the Mighty Mite
