Only 2 Weeks Left To See The Players' Production TICKETS AT THE HUB OR AT THE DOOR Welcome Home —Daily Colletian Photo by George Harrison A CROWD of approximately 500 students watch the return of the defeated football team from Syracuse Saturday night. The bus arrived at 10:20 p.m. in front of Recreation Hall. Five Hundred Students Laud Football Team at Pep Rally Approximately five hundred students were on hand to cheer the disappointed and tired football team Saturday night upon its arrival at Recreation Hall from Syracuse. As the bus neared Rec Hall a hush came over the formerly' noisy crowd and everybody ran to greet the players. A few lusty students started to! sing **Victory" and within a few; seconds everyone else had joined: in. As the team climbed out of; the bus the crowd gave a short; yell state followed by a short veil' team. 'Blue and While' Sung While the players walked into Rec Hall the crowd concluded', with "Blue and White" and ev-• erybody walked quietly away. Although there was no Blue Band and no cheerleaders on' hand to lead the crowd in its: songs and cheers, the relatively small group showed the team that they were proud of them—win or lose. 'Odd' Group Attends To an outsider standing by, thei group that showed up for the pep, rally must have seemed like a' very odd bunch. One of the frat-1 ernities was having a belated Hal--; loween party and it came out in full force dressed up in weird ap parel. Others were dressed for regular Saturday night dates. ' Before the. arrival of the bus the "students couldn't seem to con-I trol their spirit. Everybody wasl singing, laughing and throwing, jokes back and fourth during the! 20-minute wait before the red' blinking light of the bus appeared down the road.
