Our side Sweat dripped down the brows of the players. Fatigue lazed within their eyes. Arms and legs began aching. Tiredfmuscles waited and searched for that moment of rest when the game or meet would be over. Sports took on a new meaning for the university and it was spear-headed by winning teams in football, cross country and soccer. And the women's volleyball also put mother winning notch into the Cardinal machine. But the versity teams weren't the only squads that led the way in the sports area. Intramurals again had greater participation than ever. And the players usually went at it as if they were playing in a championship contest. Obviously they endured fatigue and pain the same as varsity team members did, especially the 140 intramual cross-country runners who fought against the 40 degree temperatures at ten o'clock on Va Saturday morn iust to prove themselves. That was the kind of sweat that perpetuated in almost every intramural contender, 10,000 strong. True, there were national championships at stake between powers such as Oklahoma and Ohio State, but our side of sweat was more personal. It had to be. We had the opportunity to root on our own teams of power in volleyball and golf. The Mid- K.S.M. Down in pain, soccer goalie Eduardo Arteaga works out a cramp during the Oct. 4 game against Toledo. Arteaga, a junior from Ecuador, worked in many close games but also got big backing by an offense-minded squad. Later in the season against Indiana Tech, the kicking Cards put in I5 tallies. American Conference came of age this year and Ball State was right smack dab in the middle of it. Sweat, whether it be from a varsity member or iust from an afternoon iog, reflected the ioys of efforts and perhaps the pains of it all too. But wasn't it worth it? Wasn't it worth it to see teams and individuals matching their skills? Even for non-sports lovers, athletics still played a small part. of sweat definitely was different than any other school. ln fact, new spirit began backing the squads and new enthusiasm began echoing off the gym walls and the stadium bleachers. No longer was the sweat seemingly for nothing. Although some people never need credit for their efforts, once in a while it does help individuals to attain their goals. And that's what sweat was all about. The cold shower afterwards cooled off the perspiration but it didn't douse the spirit of effort. The coach's yelling and screaming, your teammate's encouraging and your sideline friends shriekings all added up to a mass of confusion but it all was needed to pick you up. Many did the screaming but the doers were the sweaters, the men and women of effort. Making sure he gets his place marker after a long, hard five miles, Cardinal harrier Bn'an Crosley smiles wide as he beats out a Purdue runner. BSU defeated Western Michigan and Purdue in the Sept. 20 meet at McCulloch Park.
