Photo bv Photo Service Homecoming game sees UW beach the Aztecs Parade and parties add to excitement The Cowboys kicked off this year ' s football season with spunk and determi- nation. It may have been their most overwhelming season in years. Though the Cowboys ' first impressions counted. Homecoming set the stage for a very successful season, despite a pair of dis- appointing games prior to Home- coming. Homecoming was on Saturday, Oct. 3. and what a perfect day. The sun was shining brightly, and the air was tense with anticipation. The usual parade was held in the morning followed by a bar- beque for the alumni who made the trek back to celebrate the occasion. Finally the big moment arrived — kick-off. at 1 p.m. The crowd stood and cheered, chanting some of the traditional slo- gans. The National Guard cannon was fired — another tradition — and the game was officially underway. It was also UW tradition to fire the cannon at home games even ' time the Cowboys scored, and the loud bellowing of the cannon became a rather common occur- rance that Saturday. Attendance at the game was estimated to be well over 10.000. according to the UW Ticket Office, so there was no lack of support for our home team. There was. however, also a surprising number of fans supporting the San Diego State Aztecs. Nevertheless, the majority of those at the game were LAV students, alumni and Laramie residents. In the first quarter. SDSL) scored 10 points, and the Cowboy fans seemed to be getting anxious while the Aztec fans gained confidence. But perhaps all of this was just a scheme to make the Az- tecs overconfident, because by the mid- dle of the second quarter, the tables had turned, and the Cowboys had snapped back and began to crush the Aztecs. The UW slogan, beach the Aztecs. ' ' was becoming a reality. The Cowboy spirit continued to gain momentum, and there seemed to be little hope left for the Aztecs. The UW Marching Band provided en- tertainment during halftime. but the majority of the crowd seemed to look upon halftime as a chance to grab a soft drink without missing any of the action. The afternoon sun was beginning to have an effect on the fans. It was an un- usually warm Saturday afternoon for Laramie in October. continued PEDALLING IN THE PARADE, this student dis- plays his fashion finesse and best biking for the crowd Photo bv Photo Senice 1 8 Homecoming
