VOL. 109. NO. 257 SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS, FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER "7, 1972 .5l PAGES TEN CENTS -- Partic@ation Is the Key Word for Norwich Athletics A recent survey of the won-loss records of all Norwich University athletic teams showed that the Cadets have won less than 35 per cent of their intercollegiate contests since World War II. And yet “a strong athletic program” is frequently cited by prospective enrollees as one of the reasons for applying to Norwich. The apparent paradox at work here can be rxplained in a word: Participation. Just about everybody who wants a shot at intercollegiate competition can get it on some Norwich team. In 1971-72, for example, a total of 632 students saw action with the various athletic squads-an amazing 76 per cent of the student body. During the fall, 240 ath- letes participated in JV and varsity football, JV and varsity soccer, rugby and cross country. In the winter, some 156 competed in JV and varsity basketball, JV and varsity hockey, fencing, rifle, skiing and swimrmng. And in spring sports, 236 played baseball, golf, tennis, la- crosse, rugby and spring football. That year Norwich teams were victorious in only 31 per cent of their games, winning 49, losing 99 and tying four. But the .76 participation index was an all-time record for Norwich and perhaps any other collcgr its size. Don’t get the idea, however, that the Cadets are peren- nial “patsies” J’or their opponents. Joe Sahel’s football teams had chalked up five consecutive winning seasons, including a 7-1 record in 1970, before skidding to a 2-6 mark a year ago. Norwich soccer teatns have won two New England titles in the last six years and Bob Pricst- ly’s hockey teams have been in three of thr SIX ECAC Division II playolfs. And each year several Cadets find their names on the rosters of all-star teams or on championship trophies. In 1970-71, Norwich produced an academic All-America in football, a hockey All-America, the ECAC golf cham- pion, the New England foils champion in fencing, the ECAC alpine champion in skiing, along with two aIlL New England football players and two allLNcw England lacrosse players. Norwich Athletes Participate-Whether it’s football, skiing, hockey, rugby or other sports, 76 per cent of the That was a bumper crop, of course, but win or lose, star or sub, just about everybody gets to play the game Norwich University student body takes part in sports. at Norwich.
