Hundreds of Falcon fans piled into the new stadium, overcome by an excitement that could not be ex- tinguished by the bitter cold. The anticipation mounted until the Soph- omore display short circuited, but the disappointment was quickly erased by the brilliant Junior dis- play, which lit up after the eve- ning ' s single home touchdown.
