Excerpt from Monticola, 1984, Vol. 78: West Virginia University, Morgantown, Wv 26506 Living up to the accomplishments and fame of the previous year's sports teams confronted University athletes. Memories of past trips to the Gator and Peach bowls and 9-3 records haunted the football squad as it prepared for the season. But, another 9-3 season, which included a break ing of an eight-year losing streak to Pitt and a win in the Hall of Fame Bowl, put to rest doubts of the squad. Rifle, swim and gymnastics teams also competed against past achievements. Apathy and decreasing member ships created headaches for organizations which found themselves on the line. Interest arousing ways, however creative and ingenious, were sought to keep alive groups such as honoraries.
