vs Managers: Force Behind The Team Jerry, Frank needs a snap! Jerry! Hey, Jerry! Screams of this nature come from the chaotic Bearcat dressing room. Jerry gets the call because he's the low man on the totem pole, ranked under head manager Alan Duke and assistant manager Chuck Swafford, both seniors. Managers are unsung heroes of the game. They have various responsibil- ities to the team. They film games, pre- pare equipment, keep the water jugs filled, and care for injuries as small as a scratch or a blister. Jerry always seemed to get the raw deal; he was left in Greenwood because he couldn't get the camera from atop the press box in time to catch the bus; he once went onto a wet Booneville been too small to play, Alan still want- ed to be part of the team, I'm no quit- ter. Chuck said, I wanted to be a man- ager because we're right out there in the action, and we really are part of the team. Not only are managers members of the team, they are also more appreciat- ed than they realize. Picture little Alan Duke carrying de- fensive tackle Theo Capes to the side- line. That's heart and determination. By Stanley Sharp Jason Rowe ( 22) carries the ball for a touchdown in the Mena game.

m Kittens dance by Waldron 34-8 %■. ‘ • T uv•• u ‘ v £■ After an 8 to 6 last sec- ond victory over Alma, the Kittens were determined not to make first year Ju- nior High Coach John McGowan nervous again when they met Waldron. Stanley Rogers helped take control early by firing straight up the middle 55 yards for the Kittens' score on the first play, but a yel- low flag brought it back to the 50. Undaunted, Rogers mer- ely replayed his effort with a 35-yard run. Davis poked the ball in from 15 yards out and Billy Wright boot- legged around the left end for a two-point conversion. Rogers and Davis teamed up again on the second touchdown. After two of Rogers hard-nosed runs, and a 20-yard dance by Davis, the Kittens were up 14 points, but the men in stripes said no again as time ran out in the first quarter. Wrights' touchdown in the second quarter made it 14. Eric McConnells's sack allowed Davis to score again from 40 yards out, and Tracey Blankenship's two points made the score 20-0. In the second half, a Marty Cessna run set up another Blankenship score on a pass. The next posses- sion ended quickly after impressive runs by Johnny Schlinker. After getting the ball back, a 15 yard Jason Rowe run set up an- other Blankenship score. After Rowe's two points were added, the score stood at 34-0. Waldron's last ditch ef- fort produced a sixty yard touchdown. The two point conversion left the final score 34-8.

Seven years of bad luck. Many people say superstitions are just nonsense, but some students believe they could really help or hurt a situation. Some people are super- stitious about what clothes they wear. Maybe it's just because it's what they've always worn or because they did something special in this clothing. Ricky May wore the same t-shirt every game this year that he wore in the state game last year. In track, Jill Chalfant always wears Ti- ger running shoes. She said, They are more com- fortable than other shoes and also make me feel like I will do better. Some things people do before a game also become superstitions. They always do these things, or it just doesn't seem right. Ricky May commented, No matter what, I always pray before I play a game. The girls basketball team also has their ritual of chants, cheers, and pep talks be- fore a game. Another superstition is the little lucky charm some people have. Brenda Tom- lin's lucky charm is a little different from others. She has a little gray stuffed mouse that she takes to ev- ery ball game.
