Winner Claims Victory Bell The Victory Bell is the symbol of a tradition between Travis and lVlc- Callum that has existed since 1953, when the publications departments of both schools purchased the bell. As tradition has it, the annual winner of the Travis-lVlcCallum foot- ball game takes possession of the bell for that year. Travis has won the bell in the years 1955, by a score of 26-13, 1957, 14--Og 1958, 26-6g 1959, 14-6, 1965, 22-6: 1967, 14-73 and 1969, 28-10. This year the Rebels won the bell for the eighth time by a score of 14-10. As the rightful victors, the Travis coaches, football team, and students were allowed to ring the bell until midnight after the game. The school has jurisdiction over the belljs use and display until the 1971 season, when Travis and lVlcCallum meet again. Mark Yemma and Diane Nelson apply pol- ish. 21
