1984-1985 Yearbook

The attitudes on the Harding campus seem to exude confidence and support. The Bison athletes demonstrated their abilities as well as their determination to work for a winning year. Harding athletes gave their all as did the Harding fans. Fan support helped to encourage the hard work the athletes were doing; and the hard work was evident in the results and achievements of the athletes and their coaches. Spring sports brought the Harding family championships in baseball, tennis and softball. Before school was to start, the football players already had begun practicing for the coming season as had the volleyball players . For the first time full scholarships were awarded to volleyball players which helped add new experienced players. With the improved quality o~ players , there was an improvement in play over last year's inaugural season. • As the leaves began to fall . the men's cross country was picked to repeat as conference champs. The team endured strenuous work-outs, but when it came time for the conference and district championships they were ready. For the 14th consecutive year, the Bisons came away with the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference Championship. For the students who thought that the intercollegiate level was a bit too much for them there was Harding's intramural program. Intramurals introduced many club members to sports; and clubs were brought together to compete against one anothe r. More importantly it created friendships. The variety of activities ranged from horseshoes to swimming. Harding athletes, whether intercollegiate or intramural, strove to perform at their best. Their fans were there to cheer them on and to give them that extra little bit of confidence needed to win. This new Bison attitude by fans and athletes , alike, together brought about a winning tradition that will continue to last at Harding University. ~ - Jennifer Kelly Sports Editor SOMETHING NEW IN All Stars 132 Golf 148 Men's Cross Country 134 Tennis 150 Women's Cross Country 136 .
