The Ithaca game was a field day for Ithaca as well as the inevitable arm chair expert, both of whom would have done everyone a favor had they stayed home and I'ooted for the Pirates. Unfortunately, Coffey Field bleachers have no arms and such inconvenience readily lends itself to the tendencies of many a spectator to wave his own arms while screaming extremely unorigi- nal obscenities.

In their attempts to recapture old and not-so-old times, they had ample aid from many current students, fans now and then, whose attention spans last as long as a six-pack. Boost, they did not; booze, they did. They shared bottles and old times and empathized with the kid in the Ram costume, while their kids played tag under- neath the bleachers. They noticed how short the cheer- leader's skirts were getting and didn't complain a bit. That's progress. They did boost each other's e«o the way they had done all through college, and they car- ried one another home. It was great fun to be in the in-crowd again, even WHO'S GOT IT NOW?
