It's About Time
For First Clash
Football is much more than a sport to some fans.
It's a state of mind. Grid buffs get through other sea
sons with the thought that, eventually, it will be the
"right"season.
The calendar year starts with basketball arid bowl
ing, swings into baseball and other summer activities,
then, finally, it is September and time for the single
wing, the split-T, the long, looping kick and all the ex
citement which is packed into the game called football.
Leaves start to change color, one blanket Isn't
quite enough for comfortable sleeping and the true fan
knows the time is almost now.
Players become anxious, too. They talk it up, an
ticipating the crowds, the noise, the feeling which comes r
with a well-done play. But first, before the team can
trot onto the field for the season-opener, comes a lot
of work.
Gridders must have physical exams and take care
of other pre-season details. There are the working unl-
i forms, as opposed to game outfits, to struggle into.
Plans have to be made by coaches and team cap
tains. , The boys are usually in pretty fair condition, but
some need to melt off a few pounds, improve breathing,
strengthen the legs. '
Exercises, running, eating only the right kinds of
food, body contact, bumps and bruises and lots of work
are on the schedule.
! Put the athlete can grin and bear it because it's
almost time for the first game and maybe, just maybe,
he's slated for a starting position.
