Billy Ryan completely unfit to playg so he does not count. Captain Carey donning his uniform merely as a gesture. Best game of the year. YVesleyan wins.VVhy? Not because of superior men, but because of overwhehn- ing numbers. Joe Beidler's injury in the first half. A telling loss. The Trinity boys outplaying VVesleyan for three quarters. Then out on their feet, allowing YVesleyan to score the winning touchdowns. Espe- cially noteworthy: Don VValsh, junior back, who had not practiced or played all year, drafted by Dan for the Yvesleyan gameg with less than a week of conditioning, he guts his way through sixty minutes of tough footballg and he puts on a beautiful exhibi- tion of blocking. Also Frank Fasi, one hun- dred forty pound center, taking .lack Carey's place. Fighting, tackling. blocking. and passing surprisingly well. No worry about next year. And Dick Iiindner, calling 11141 brains . f act inn ! cn nz era .' signals in Pete's absence. A nice job too. He always does good work. So the season ends .... Dan looking forward to next year. Optimistic as al- ways. Some senior letter men not return- ing. But good material still on tap. And even if the boys flop, they will hustle. Dan! teams always do. lVhat more can we ask? Besides, there are the freshmen .... Not a very good team. But hopes for a few of the youngsters Cthey can always become intellectuals anywayj. Wveisenfluh, tail- back, will develop. Knowles, blocking back. still awkward. Fay, center, is big and strong. Might prove useful-but who are we to say what will happen in the next year or two? Even the lowliest member of the squad may become a star-especially under lJan's skillful tutelage. And now a touching tribute: . . .

College life continues .... VVe workg we loaf. VV1: play cardsg we kibitz. VVe laughg we cry. We praiseg we ridicule. VVe attend chapclg we don't attend chapel. VVe sleepg we prowl. VVe dateg we are dated. lVe flunkg we pass. We write papersg we give speeches. WVe love our profsg we hate our profs. VVe shaveg we raise beards. And soccer .... Axiom: nothing better to do? Go out for soccer. Everyone very much in favor of awarding medals for valor and perscverenee to the long-winded lads with the tough shins. A player run- ning and running along the greensward. A player jumping into the air, hitting a ball with his head. The ball is not very
