. 5551s j l; CHEERlEADl- RS ED by monosyllahic Jim Stetlor, tho cheerleaders spurred the demos to great- er heights in the hoary Wesleyan tradition of rooting 11151in for valiant losing teams. Early in the fall, it was discovered that the megaphones pilfered from Williams, were entirely too small. As a result, the squad devoted the first two weeks of school to painting the new six-foot mogaphones whitv. It was ingeniously suggested that a rod BWVJ, standing;r for Wesleyan, he added. and this was done. Originally, there were eight cheerleaders. hut when Ed Dolph got lost in the library. there were seven. Homer Eckerson frac- tured his fragile proboscis, and they werv reduced to six. Dan Phillips had his first and second dates, and then there were five. Jim Burkhardt went to a party, and then there were four. Jeff Lockhart was crush- ed by a Wesleyan pennant, and then there were three. Tip Baldwin was discharged for nepotism, and then there were two. Charlie Rogovin became em-einte. and then there was one. By popular demand. Jim Stellar was cast into the Trinity bonfire, and then thm'e wore norm. So ends the saga. t firx' row: Stellar.

With twenty-seven seconds left to play, Herh Kelleher snagged a deflected pass from Johnny Brigham in the Amherst end zone. Moments later, the stunned Lord Jeffs found their seemingly sure victory a 21-21 tie. The AIC and Williams encounters are best considered a forgotten chapter in last yeafs schedule. Drenched and frozen in the contest at Springfield, the Cards found themselves bogged down, while the Aces oozed out a final 6-0 victory. As for the Williams fray, the outcome was in doubt only until the opening.r kick-off. Trinity proved to he the sweetest triumph in many a year. Picked hy the experts as twenty-one point underdogs, Wesleyan held the Hilltopperls potent attack in check all afternoon. Early in the final quarter, the Card offense came to life, as a climactic Far- ese-Nixon aerial produced the one crucial TD. Sophomore guard, Art Spada, turned in the best of his many superlative perform- ances, which earned him a first-string herth on the all-Connecticut small college team. Under the leadership of Co-Captains Jerry Callahan and Dave Nixon, prospects Captain Bill McCluskey for next year seem promising. The squad, however, will miss the services of graduat- ing seniors including Captain Bill MCCIus- key, Bill W'ast'h, and Hog Schuhern tackles; George James, center; Jim Beaver and Tom Harms, guards; and Bit: Sartlo, Marv llagel. and George MaPIver, hacks.
