Flashes Hit New Low SPORTS A near record number of fans, substantially more than in 1960, saw the 1961 Golden Flashes foot- ball team suffer their worst season in the history of the school. Early season predictions for the team were high, but losses due to injuries and academic difficulties seriously cut into the squad ' s effective- ness. The injury of star quarterback Jim Flynn during Kent ' s 21-0 loss to ' Miami seemed to set the team back and recovery eluded them all sea- son. Despite the depressing effect of losing the close ones, the team never seemed to lose its fire and competitive spirit. Comments from every oppo- nent indicated this as they would remark how, even though behind, the Flash runners and tacklers hit as hard as any others they had encountered. Next season must be better. The backfield will have considerable experience to field and with a little luck, health and grades will this time work in the Flashes favor.
