oe an J Freshmen Face Fierce Competition There is a singularity in Fresh- men sports that sets them apart from other levels of competition. At this level it is not the winning or losing, it is the unity of a group of guys. There is a form of energy that will never be reproduced. The year is one of insecurity in which an athlete has to find himself. In years to follow the struggle for playing time is even more fierce; but this time unity made a success GARRETT VS.

The Reserves Push Varsity for Positions The reserve football team is one of the most valuable assets for the varsity. Who is it that forces each player on the varsity to work to his utmost? Who is it that often times risks serious personal injury so that the var- sity can reach top physical condi- tion? Who is it that puts a full ef- fort into a game even though they may have had only one or two practices together the week before? These are the reserves. These guys don’t really mind it though because they know that in a year or two they will be wearing a varsity football jersey. GARRETT VS.

O.D. Means Over Distance In Cross- Country Cross country is an animal sport. A horse would be better suited to this kind of running. Cross country has its own O.D. (over distance) which would physically exhaust the average human. The layman refers to the runner’s efforts as ‘“‘guts’’. The runners, themselves, call it the “animalistic drive’. This may seem like a gruesome associa- tion for a high school sport but it is justified. These men have a personal pride from the satis- faction of conditioning them- selves for competition. They put in hundreds of miles of condi- tioning for a two and a half mile race. GARRETT VS.
