Perhaps that’s a cr\ lhal is reminiscent of the banners around Shea Stadium this fall (break up the Mets!), but old aches and pains themselves gave the students a bit of a shock with their fine showing in the faculty orientation football game.’ If you missed it, you missed a treat. What with Coach B Wildered teaming up w ith his able assistant “Sunshine Superman" and Joltin' Joe, the trio-formed a blitz that was a personification of the old National Football League’s cry that "on any given Sunday • ■, • • , . Except ‘his was on a Friday and the faculty didn't mind * Of course, not all the credit for the fine victory posted by the faculty team goes to the defense. The offense was potent, and at times even explosive. All-stars like the Trembling Dean, Stone Man, and the Money Man contributed their share for the annals.

A three yard gain and possession for the faculty. Good job by the defense again. Well, a punt by. the faculty — that’s strange..
