RAILROAD TRACKS and grain elevators lend a unique atmosphere to Delta field upon approach. Spirit, Work Make for Good Football Except for a few people, Delta field was deserted. People were still slowly wandering in when the Little Gophers trotted out onto the field. A small cheer went up, but it was nothing compared to what was to come later in the game. In fact, the stands would not be full until the two teams were facing each other in preparation for the kickoff. When the ball was doing lazy somersaults in the air, an involuntary scream found its way out of the teeming mass of football fans. From that moment on it was clear that win or lose, they would not stop yelling until the final whistle, and the end of the game. Maybe we won, maybe we lost, but everyone knows it was hard fought. And just how docs the team feel about the game? Each player knows that for better or worse, he owes it to the others to get out there and do the best job he can. That is what makes a team great; that is what makes the U High Gophers great. The team is only as good as its spirit. To a team with good spirit,, victories are rewards; defeats are challenges. After each game every team must face itself. Coach Robert MacLeod taught ours to do so with pride. In football as well as any other sport it doesn’t really matter whom you play nor how well you do; just work hard and enjoy yourself and you’ve won a victory. BACKGROUND in ballet often proved useful. 23
