Or have you filed it away with other Au- tumn activities like the Cider Mill, or Belle Isle? Let me refresh your memory. The ,71 Cubs were dedicated, moti- vated, and successful 1 yes, success- ful a For they were humble, yet never humiliatedi They were classified as losers by their critics, yet never outclassed a i . There were gray moments, which in turn were inevitably balanced by golden moments. There was Rice, and the last two minutes in the ctMud Bowl? And there was Homecoming a in which a pack of hungry Cubs feasted 0n Shamrocks. Sitting on dirty, cold bleachers thirty feet away from the 'action, makes it very difficult for the spectator to under- stand the great amount of effort chan- neled into each contest. We watched the games with excitement, but after the season was over the torn-up grass on Foley Field was the only thing which bore witness to the dedication of the 71 Cub Football Team .

The Limits Of Talent Junior Varsity football gave partici- pants a chance to display their talents no matter how limited they were, sim- ply because there was a place on the team for everyone. This brought the team closer together. Although the re- serves were used as ttdog foodtt for the Varsity team, they often compensated for it by disposing of the freshmen. Most coaches were very pessimistic toward the team at the beginning of the season, but throughout the year the JV players displayed a great deal of pride and determination. By the end of the season, they had compiled a respectable 5-2 record. For most players the year was quite satisfying. 7 Tim Mack A have: Coach Dan Hafner calling the plays.
