. l. . But What Do the Fans Do? They were always there, filling up the bleachers to see basketball and wrestling or resting on grassy hills to watch track, softball, or golf. But after the tenseness and glory of formal ath- letics, the fans got involved in some sports of their own. Since everyone had his own idea of the best way to spend an extra afternoon or evening, the variety of off-campus activities was infinite. One of the fastest growing sports in the area was foosball. A takeoff on the traditional soccer game, tables could be found in every bar and arcade around. Quarters piled up fast along the the edges as each challenger tried to get control of the table. More and more people developed a taste for the game, and competition was often stiff and exciting. A more energetic activity was jog- ging. Up until a few years ago it was considered a sport for jocks in train- ing, but it recently blossomed into the nation's latest fad. Classes were offered by the college in both jogging and fit- ness, and red sweatsuits dotted the hilly streets of Auburn as students met course requirements. Even people not involved in classes ran on their own. It was something that everyone seemed to to be doing. For those who loved winter activi- ties, Central New York was definitely the place to be. Although many people thought we got more than our share of snow, there were skaters, snowmobilers and cross country skiers who werenit complaining. Thriving on the crisp, cold air, they exercised and had a good time all at once. 3 Not allowed on the roads, snowma bilers developed highway systems of their own. They sped over snow- blown country fields and frozen ponu often coming home looking like the original version of the abominable snowman. The one-piece suits, helmet' and goggles were great protection, thoughg and enthusiasts often raced fa into the night. . More cross country skiers were a- round this year sliding on everything from sidewalks to back roads and fields. The sport, which can burn up a much as nine calories per minute, be- came exceedingly popular. It didn't have the thrill or sudden rush excite- ment of downhill skiing, but it was tez rific for exploring nature's lost nooks and cranies. p 70 Fans E
