TOLEDO WAS NO MATCH for the Broncos as Western rolled up a 21-0 victory. The weather didn ' t dampen the enthusiastic crowd that cheered their team on. Well, it happened again. Students have scoffed at ' estel•n for its lack of tradition, but there is tiadition in the making at Homecoming— rain. This is the second year that people and football players alike got wet. Friday was beautiful but as the floats, with thousands of paper napkins for decoration were being completed, it started. But all wasn ' t lost. In fact we won the football game by completely un-nerving Toledo 21-0. Despite the rain not one event was cancelled, although there were a couple of floats that didn ' t make it. The cheerleaders and the band presented their displays in the rain and a good sized crowd watched. A few things had to be moved around like the Alumni Bar-B-Q, but mere weather couldn ' t dampen home- coming spirits— liquid or otherwise. HOMECOMING 1962 NEVER BEFORE have so many students participated in the pep rally Friday night before the game. See page 13 for more pictures of Friday night ' s events. m r- ' lI 1
