' v ' ' ' ■ ■ ■ • With sincLM-{; npprociiition to each member of the Millsaps Majors Football Team for their participation in a very impor- tant part of the total Millsaps (College proj ram, we off(-r this tribute of thanks. The individual dedication and d(!V()tion involv(;d in long and tough hours of practice re- sulted in a game-time team which deserves special recog- nition. Achieving a 7-2 season this year after reaching the NCAA Division III Nati(mal play-offs last year, the football team revitalized the athletic program and regained enthusi- astic support of the student body, fans, and friends. With a complete coaching staff of two — Head Coach Harper Davis and Assistant Coach Tommy Ranager— and a mod- est budget, the team, through its success earned national ex- posure and recognition for Millsaps College. Haygood, Hinton Com- pany were responsible for many exciting and enjoyable (nearly heart-stopping!) Satur- day afternoons at Legion Field that will long be rem(!mbered. Each member of the team not only sought superior athletic performance, but also con- ducted himself in a manner such that each served as a goodwill ambassador for Mill- saps College and the State of Mississippi. They were leaders on cam- pus. They wore the purple and white jerseys with pride. In the finest tradition established by Majors ' teams in the past, they have done a good job. Wells Co. 25
