T.V. SET FOR F COTBALL EXCITEMENT Dons Give New Meaning To Football The players take alignment on the field, you are on the edge of your seat, heart racing, palms sweating, the concentration of the crowd so intense you can feel it. The players scramble and the ball is thrown. Slowly, it makes its end- less trip, sailing gracefully into the hands of an Aragon Don, standing inches away from a touchdown. The crowd goes into hysterics, you are able to tell as the popcorn rains in the stands, and all control is lost. No, this excitement wasn't only limited to Pro-football, but was al- most guaranteed to be observed at the local Aragon Varsity football games. The team was packed with enthusiasm as the Dons strove for A determined Don dodges dexterously to the distress of the dumbfounded defend- er. One of the most devastating detriments of this year's team was their uncanny ability to tackle each other instead of the opposition. 36 f Varsity Football excellence with each play. Strenu- ous and sweaty practices were not considered hard work, but merely as necessary steps toward that precious goal of stomping each opposing foe. This goal was soon realized. The players are extrememly op- tomistic about this year, com- mented Coach Britt Williams dur- ing pre-season. There is a stron- ger desire to win, and the players support for each other will prob- ably make it happen. And, indeed, it did. The Dons played their hardest, displaying beautifully executed play after play, always managing to get the ball into their territory. What made the year special? 7 Most likely the originality of our plays, and the unity between us all. It's a different world when you're out there . . , it's survival , commented Greg Tateosian. A primary focus of the Don's game was a very strong defense, sup- ported with newer graphics and well-designed plays. So, when your family feel that burning desire to experience sports excitement at its best, don't pay the expense of a 49er ticket. Instead, save your money, pack up popcorn, hamburgers and soft drinks and head for the Aragon football field. Anyone can safely say, It's the best sport in the world .

in the goal. With great confidence, the FroshfSoph Football Team entered the season. Though all agreed that the Woodside team would give the Dons a tough match, increased preparation rea- died them for a showdown. Coach Sanft summed up the feeling of the Dons by remarking, We're no match for any other team in the league! We're in a league above the rest! Indeed the playing of the ProshfSoph team soared and no one was let down in the end.
