406, the endzone for another touchdown to make the score twelve to seven in favor of Warwick. Although the halftime festivities kept the fans' attention, they were fidgeting impatiently, awaiting the balance of the game. When the teams finally reappeared, the action of the third quarter was kept at a minimum compared to the rest of the game. However, the dearth of activity must have been the lull before the storm because the fourth quarter was a flurry of excitement maintained at an intense plateau. Penn Manor drove the ball seventy-five yards to score a touch- down to put them ahead by one point. To the fans it seemed like the end, but the Warwick football team furiously tried to acquire the points that would make it a joyous Homecoming. However, the rigid Penn Manor defense would not budge. Many times the Warwick offense moved close to the goal line, but could not score. With only one minute to play, the Warwick candle of hope flickered dangerously. But the resil- ient Warriors fought back once again. This time they were not to be denied. With ten seconds left, the Warriors scratched and clawed their way to the Penn Manor ten yard line. Quickly, the Warwick field goal unit scurried out onto the gridiron to attempt a thirty yard field goal. The center hiked the ball, and the place kicker booted the pigskin to- ward the goalposts. As the ball floated through the air, time stood still, breaths held. Miraculously, the ball inched be- tween the goal posts for three points. There was joy in Mudville. Chaos everywhere - it was pandemonium. Everybody from Warwick was jumping up and down, screaming, hug- ging, kissing, dancing, and singing. The people had come and quenched their thirst for football, and half left repleted. But even after the game fans left, the greying bleachers, barren field, and dying grass held the memories of the Homecoming game. -- Doug Williams Top: Check this out!

CATCH TH T WINNING SPIRIT! ctober is the month of colors. Like salmon, the brightly ornamented leaves of the autumnal equi- nox spawn to the ground, covering the green of summer. In towns, cities, and hamlets across America, peo- ple gather for the last chance to congregate out of doors before winter tightens its grip upon the land. Parades, pic- nics, and parties are prevalent, but the Homecoming foot- ball game is the most popular social assemblage. Certainly, the clash that took place between the Warwick Warriors and the Penn Manor Comets on the fourth Saturday of October typifies the Homecoming annual. Grosh Field at Warwick High School was ablaze with harvest time spirit. Adorned with red and black streamers, the gray bleachers remained august amidst the pageantry and spectacle of the game. And because Indian summer was yet lingering, the weather was hot and sunny, drying the multicolor leaves underfoot. The maidens of the Homecom- ing Court smiled and waved as they were chauffeured around the field by the convertibles of summer. Neat and trim, the football field looked as if it were going out on a date. Freshly shaven, every blade of grass was cut to perfection, and the white grid of the field was newly limed by industrious greenskeepers. The throngs of football fans hungrily await- ed the opening kickoff. The game was ready to begin. As the whistle blew, the Penn Manor kicker booted a high, lazy kick that safely landed into the arms of the Warwick returner. Then, the Warwick ball carrier ran into a shower of Comets. But as if invisible, the runner quickly emerged from the pack of opposing players and streaked toward the land of milk and honey, the end zone. He reached the coveted ground and held the ball up triumphantly as his teammates smothered him with joy. The tone of electrifying football was set and the gleeful fans settled in, luxuriating in the fervor. But the opposing team was not to be daunted. After trailing six to nothing, the redoubtable Penn Manor team struck gold with a punt return for a touchdown. The Comet runner eluded the Warwick defense for fifty years, taking the taste of victory away from the Warrior fans. However, just before halftime, the Warwick quarterback slipped into Top: Here come the Warriors! Center: Hold those Comets! Bottom: Sideline Showoffs!
