Officials from both colleges recently met to discuss the Nov. 7 varsity football game being hosted this year at Cortland. This year's game is the 57th meeting of our varsity football teams vying, of course, for possession of the Cortaca jug. We are all very proud of the accomplishments of both teams and believe that the game this year will be a great one.

As a fan, you can expect to see an outstanding contest on the field. Both teams and the coaching staffs have worked hard since late August to have successful seasons. The Ithaca vs. Cortland game will provide the players and coaches with a great challenge and the fans with a fun-filled, exciting afternoon.

For Ithaca fans traveling to Cortland, you will note that the New York State Police will be patrolling the highways and will be working at the game. In recent years, police officials in Tompkins and Cortland counties have set up check points before and after the game to apprehend those who are drinking and dri­ ving. If you are over 21 years old and choose to drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation and please do not drive!

As a football fan, your behavior at the game will reflect on your college. You should be supportive of your team, cheering good play and encouraging the play­ ers to do their best. You should not be involved in behavior that will embarrass yourself or your college. Cheers that include vulgarity, demean players, coaches, officials or fans have no place at this or any other game. Throwing objects on the field, at players, coaches, officials or fans will not be tolerated. Fighting or other serious acts will result in criminal arrest and, when appropriate. judicial action on campus.

This game has a long and wonderful history. It has become and will continue to be the biggest Division III football game in the country. The players and coaches have worked too hard to have the game tarnished by the actions of a few fans. Good sportsmanship on and off the field will make this an event that we will remember fondly for years to come.
