Certainly nobody in the stadium works harder than the elieerleaders. They contort in unison, flinging themselves around careless of life or limb, urging the crowd to scream a little louder, making the spectator spirit resound throughout the afternoon . . . the game goes on and the touchdowns mount up, as Peggy and Tom watch the team go on to sure victory. It gets colder in the stands as the sun sinks lower, but who notices the temperature? Cheer after cheer keeps coming out, people huddle deeper into their coats, the drum beats out the score, and the clock is pointing to the final minute of play. A gun sounds. Varsity is sung, and it ' s time to start an evening fit to celebrate a victory . . . But football week-ends must end, and after the last toast is drunk and last song sung, Peggy and Tom say the traditional good- night under a harvest moon — Wisconsin has won another victory and Peggy and Tom have wrapped up another memory of Wisconsin.
