K nb ' 9 E525 ' Y THE REFLECTOR 32 f xp' Q E? Surely the U. B. Dents may well be proud of her sons, ten men we gave to the football team. Football was resurrected in the fall of IQI5, under the capable leadership of Manager Shafer. A schedule was made, and with what seemed almost a false enthusiasm at first, training began. But as soon as the ball was started down the field, interest began to increase and it was not long before all Western New York knew that U. of B. was again on the gridiron. Eight games were played. Every one hard fought. We did not win them all. By no means. But through the medium of our re- vived form of athletics, Buffalo was again on the map. The first game, that with Syracuse Freshmen, was lost, but that defeat only served to stimulate the men to renewed vigor. Coach Mount Pleasant worked slowly but surely. His was a hard task to hammer into shape the squad of half trained, unskilled fellows who were constantly Hocking to the standard to play football for old U. B. The day we played St. Bonaventure was a wonderful one for the Blue and the White. All loyal sons were on the spot with mega- phones, banners, girls, and voices. I cannot tell you of the enthusiasm which reigned that day. Everyone was imbued with a spirit of enthusiasm for our college that had never reigned before. Buffalo was coming into her own. And we won. All through the season the same spirit held sway. Although we lost ive games, nothing daunted we stuck to it, and at the season's close we had the scalps of St. Bonaventure, Thiel, and Rochester University hanging at our girdles. The game before the one on Thanksgiving Day was our last out- of-town game for the season. It was Rochester. And that was a wonderful game! U. of B., five hundred strong, went down to shout and cheer the team to victory. Did we do it? You should have been there. It is impossible to picture vividly the scenes of that afternoon. We marched to Rochesteris campus. In the lead, the band, five hundred men following, singing and cheering for the college boys in togs. S4
