For those who got to the field an hour before the game and were able to get a seat, homecoming night posed no viewing problems. But everyone wanted to see the mighty Jackets play, and there was a large crowd of stand- ing fans all around. Starting with the homecoming festivi- ties, Queen Jan and her royal court were introduced to the fans and received an enthusiastic greeting. Then the big Blue and Gold took the field. The team was up, the fans were up, and the Cabot Panthers were about to be put down. They were supposed to be tough but the Jackets were tougher, and by halftime, we had proved our edge. The SHS band came on at halftime and performed a show that brought fans from both sides to tears. Featuring the maiorettes in a fire-twirling routine, the fans were again amazed and very pleased at the band's fine showman- ship. When the Jackets took the field for the second half, the panther must have laid down and died. Anyway, they made short order of them, and turned in a a score of 34-O. It was truly a homecoming that any alumnus would be proud to come home to. Homecoming Gome!27

l IHI IEXTIIEIIQ MKIINATITUIIQJF jacket defense holds oppo- nents to few yards and many bruises. The defensive side of football is the more casual side. The Iinemen can usually choose which way to fire and which back to key on. The linebackers can float with the play and the coverers have a whole zone on passes in which to operate. This is not to say, however, that the defense isn't serious. They have plays and assignments and they have to hit lust as hard to keep the offense from moving. Sheridan uses a 5-4 defense, which has a five-man line, four men backing the line, and two safeties covering deep. This is a good all purpose defense that works well against lust about any attack. On goal line defense and short yardage situations they use a gap-8 defense, which has eight men in the gaps in the offensive line. Sheridan's defense was led this year by linebacker David Henley who kept the offense pretty well plugged up and called signals, and Gerald Steele, who did his iob of socking and sacking the running backs. The Jacket sidelines are always excited and busy. Chris Culpepper leads interference for the Jacket offense. Quarterback Eddie MacHarper takes the plunge.
