Fall is the season for the start of

basketball, football, and broken hearts.
wiaTpEoeon a Town of Pembroke
football team. The number of
youngsters who are turned down for
the teams depends not on playing
ability aiooe Many cuts are a direct
esult of a lack of fending for the
teams. When there are fends to outfit
only twenty-four players and more
than fifty youngsters try out for a
team, hearts are broken
These cuts go a Ions way toward
making the youngsters feel worthless,
unwanted, and frustrated because no
matter bow hard they have tried, how
enthusiastic they are. or how hard
they ate willing to work, they are not
given a chance to prove themselves.
To deny any youngster the right to
be part of a team, to leam the social
skills that teamwork teaches, and to
earn responsibility as part of a
wholesome unit is to encourage these
youngsters to seek other ways of
belooging-frequently the wrong type
of "teams."
