X U I: I I ln: 1 Football has achieved a level of popularity at Sand- erson that would be difficult to surpass. The continued success of the game must be dependent upon the accompany- ing social aspects. The act- ual game itself does not provide enough excitement to justify its tremendous pop- ularity. Except for an oc- casional thirty yard, break- away run there is no need to watch the game until the ball is advanced to within the twenty yard line. The dominance of football will terminate as soon as student interest wanes or is captured by another, more exciting sport. If soccer continues to grow and gain support, our children may be the aficio- nados of a new fall super sport. Friday nights would be spent watching teams of running figures as they move up and down the field in pur- suit of an unobstructed chance at a lone figure dressed in black. Soccer has nowhere to go but up. Football is at the top, but must work to keep the game appealing to remain sup- erior. In the long run, it is up to those who will watch to determine our fall sports choice for the next half cen- tury.
