Sportsmanship exists as a hard core and invulnerable center of a school's social life. It's the very heart, the color, the spirit, and warmth that comes with pride of victory and the agony of defeat. It's a quality that is de- pendent not only on character of athletic participants but the large crowds of loyal followers. The student body serves as an important factor in the drive and momentum of the team. ,

Topple Pirates to Retain Little Brown Jug The season outlook called for a highly rated Blue Streak grid squad to be a strong contender for the Western Reserve League crown. Ironically, the Streaks developed into a strong contender only after dropping a 28-8 league clash to the crown favorite, Fairport. Prior to the contest between the two strong rivals the Streaks had started the sea- 12 son on somewhat shaky terms. A gratifying victory over neighboring rival, Geneva, was short lived. The Streaks were handed a pair of whitewashes and entered the league sea- son on a bad foot. The Madison gridders narrowed the margin in the first half of the Fairport game but lacked sufficient momen- tum to thwart the surging Fairport crew.
