Cheers and the Scores
It is an afternoon that the home
team has dreamed of for many
days. The grandstands are filled
with fans and people continue to
come. There is a slight breeze
and the sun shines beautifully . .
Perfect day the coaches say to
themselves.
'I'he opposing team runs on the
field. Its colors of black and or
ange beam in the sun rays as the
crowd greets the team with a
deafening roar. Then proudly and
full of confidence come the old
Blue and White. The roars and
yells let one know who is favor
ed by the fans.
'I he game commences. The
teams seem evenly matched, so
the half ends with a score of
(l-l). Wait The Broncos
seem to be tiring. Their plays are
slack and there prevails an unin
terest in the game. Meanwhile the
opposing team’s cheering scjuad
has gone and is going through all
sorts of cavorts, cheering its
players onward.
()n the opposite side of the
field the F. S. T. C. fans sit as
mute as marble statues and stat
uettes. Feeble cheers go up here
and there but fade out all too
qu'ckly because of the lack of co
operation on the ])art of the fans,
mostly students in the latter ca
tegory.
(^an this be responsible for the
absence of confidence and sheer
disgust on the part of the Bron
cos? Maybe.
Despite the pep talks given the
team by coaches Brewer and
(iaines, the players still have that
lost, pathetic gleam look in their
e>es. 'I'he players cast pleailing
glances toward the grandstand;
glances that say to the public, if
you are not pleased at our per
formance we have nothing to play
for and we will know w'hether
you are or are not satisfied un
less you yell.
The game proceeds and ends
with the same spii'it prevailing
and the Black and Orange win
with a score of 0-0. It w'asn’t
easy to forget one’s train
ing though there is no moral
supjjort.. Every one wonders now
why the Broncos did not win.
'The weather could not have been
better could it? The players werw
evenly matched were they not?
What did happen?
It is another game day at kick
off time. It is raining, not a
slight drizzle but a steady pour.
As before, the crowd is here and
begins to yell and applaud when
the teams appear. This splendid
su|)port continues throughout the
thrill packed game. At the half
the Alma Mater sounds across the
field like thunder. It is fairly im
possible to see tht ball through
possible to see the ball throuh-
the mud and mire of the field,
the teams fight. Especially does
the Blueand \Miite fight because
it has the wholehearted support
of the school mates and fans.
With all of these people for it,
how can it lose? This is the one
thing that keeps a team going
when all else is gone and nothing
looks at all bright. Just think,
whether a man is tackled or tack
les does not matter so long as
ones’ school is for one. A man
can stand all that the opposing
team can give so long as that
cheering scjuad gets the support
of the entire student body and
sends the team on to a victory
of 13-0.
