end o f the gam e.
The Com eback
One excitin g aspect o f footb all that occurs as the clock steadily
ticks aw ay is the com eback. This can be described as a period o f tim e
during which a team does superhuman feats (such as throw ing and
catching a fo o tb a ll) to com e from behind and d efeat a team w hich has
alw ays been in the lead.
“ TH E N IL E S E A S T G irls’ Inter
scholastic Tennis Team is looking
forw ard to a victoriou s season,”
said M iss Joyce Feldkam p, spon
sor o f the team .
The g irls opened th eir fa ll sea
son against Evanston when they
lost 1-6 , but cam e back again to
d efeat N iles N orth 4-3, and lost a
close one to N ew T rie r 3-4.
IT IS D U R IN G TH IS T IM E that coaches develop th eir u lcers and
train th eir m agnetic eyes on the scoreboard clock, one tryin g to speed
up the clock and the other tryin g to slow it down. E ach one cancels the
other out lettin g the clock tick at its usual speed.
The team includes singles mem

K leinschm idt, and R osem ary White.
A m azing Things Can Happen
D uring a com eback am azing things happen such as scoring and a
g rea t amount o f footb all a ctivity. One o f the m ain prerequ isites fo r a
com eback is fo r the leadin g team to becom e overconfident so that the
team which is behind w ill fo rg e ahead.
The doubles p layers are Fay
R eich , Lynn Rosen, Chris Kusek,
B ern ice Sudak, Cathy Defranceski,
Chris D essent, M ary Anne Coburn,
and K ath y K u kleim icz.
I f this doesn’t happen, then the coach m ust g et his p layers so fu ll
o f sp irit and fig h t that they think th ey can p art the R ed Sea and leap
ta ll buildings in a single bound.
T w ice this yea r, N iles fans have seen the Trojan s stage a com eback.
