Varsity football: fun and bad breaks. For Varsity football, '76 was a re- building year. The six sophomores and ten juniors who will return next season are optimistic about South's chances for victory. Coach Holsten said the Lancers played good defense this season. South was unable however to keep the ball long enough to do any good, he said. This yearls team had a good offen- sive squad, players agree, with 30 Football their best performance being against Principia. With most of the offense and all of the defense re- turning next year, one player com- mented, We can do some good stuff next year. The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak, commented guard Greg Bryant, a junior. One offen- sive tackle summed up the year: We had a lot of fun and a lot of bad breaks.

'tEXperience is vital for a Winning season. Roger Berriach This was the best season we've had in four years, exclaimed B-team football Coach Behling. The kids showed determination even when they were down and then came back and performed well. The team scored a record of 89 points and ended the season at 2-2-1 in the ABC League, which tied them for third place. Their over all record was 2-4-1. C-team football was very inexperienced this year. Not many of our players played in leagues prior to coming here, said Coach Reck. The team was able to make consistant offensive gains in many games. Their final record was 0-6-1. 1. Mike Hartmann fights to keep control of the football. 2. B-team Football: frow 115 Coach Behling. frow 22, M. Ottertein, R. Kulhmann, J. Balzer, K. Hick. frow 325 K.
