A successful season is deter­ mined by the work accomplished with the amount of and kind of material with which a coach has to work. Coach Borst taught raw recruits who came out at the beginning of the season to work in harmony and to play clean, hard football. W e h o p e t h a t in th e fu tu r e y e a r s C .
