To start the game off with just the right punch, a skydiving team dropped into Buck Shaw Stadium and just happened to bring the game ball with them. For the first three quarters of the game, the Broncos held their own against perennially strong UC Davis Aggies. How- ever, the fourth quarter proved to be SCU's nemesis, as the Ag- gies overpowered the Broncos to score 21 points and go on to win the game.

Th ee An unexpectedly high number turn out to make the Homecoming festivities and celebrations the best in years. Homecoming week began on Monday, October 10th, when nominations were taken for the Homecoming Court. Mary Ma- thews, Homecoming Activities Coordinator, began scheduling the events during the summer to ensure success. After several years of not having a Homecom- ing Court, Mary brought it back to Santa Clara. The revival of the court provoked some contro- versy during the week because some students labeled the event and the Broncos. The results of the Homecom- ing Court election were an- nounced during the game. Nels Nelsen and Heidi LeBaron were elected King and Queen. Heidi Seevers and Michael Wegener were chosen as Junior Princess and Prince, while Lisbeth Ar- mentano and Joe Cunningham came out on top for Sophomore Princess and Prince. Doug Davi- dovich and Lisa Benson were the freshmen choice for Prince as sexist and outdated. According to Mary, howev- er, most stu- dents seemed to approve of the court idea since 800 stu- dents cast their ballots. Mary planned events for every day of the week.
