E WRITE OF THE TIGER SPIRIT: OF THAT SPIRIT THAT BREATHES FROM THE PAST THE INCENSE OF SPLENDID SERVICE AND GLORIOU5 TRADITION AND FROM THE FUTURE THE AIR OF HOPE OF YET MORE WORTHY TRIUMPHS1 OF THAT INTANGIBLE SOMETHING WHICH, ENTERING INTO TEAMS OF HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, HAVE MADE THEM FIGHT FOR THE LAST BITTER INCH OR DRIVE ON TO GLORIOUS VICTORY IN THE ARENA OF THE GRIDIRON. THAT SPIRIT WAS EARLIEST AND HAS LONGEST BEEN TYPIFIED IN HAMPDEN- SYDNEY'S FOOTBALL ELEVENS FROM THE FIRST INTERCOLLEGIATE CAMPAIGN IN EIGHTEEN-NINETY-TWO EVEN DOWN UNTO THE PRESENT DAY. THROUGH YEARS OF BOTH REVERSES AND SWEEPING TRIUMPHS THIS ELEMENT OF INTERNAL POWER HAS BEEN EVER PRESENT, MAKING THE NAME OF HAMPDEN-SYDNEY FAMOUS IN THIS FIELD. CONCRETE INSTANCES OF THE TIGER MFIGHTH ARE MANY AND NUMEROUS. A TEAM OF THE EARLY PART OF THE CENTURY IN ONE SEASON WON THREE VICTORIES IN FOUR DAYS. SEVERAL TIMES HAS HAMPDEN-SYDNEY ATTAINED CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE EASTERN VIRGINIA INTERCOLLEGIATE ASSOCIATION. IN MORE RECENT YEARS ELEVENS UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF COACH BERNIER HAVE MET IN COMBAT UNIVERSITIES AND SCHOOLS OF MUCH LARGER SIZE AND HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN NOBLE ACCOUNTS OF THEMSELVES. IT IS A svmn' THAT NEVER mas. A FAR-FAMED spmrr, THE 'ncaa SPIRIT. MAKING ATH1.ETEs, AYE, BUT Mom-: THAN THAT, MAKING MEN!
