In these cate- gories it was, indeed, a fine season. The Fighting Cadets demonstrate again and again that they can handle anyone their size. It is the larger schools they are forced to meet that cuts that win column down. But win or lose we will go on meeting them and giving them the best we have. That is the S spirit we are talking about. 78
