Heads or T ails Correspondent Howard J. Beadleson The third gridiron game of the Olympics took place yesterday between Camp 4 and Camp 5B. Both teams entered the field full of spirit and confidence, although the Camp 4 team had previously protested having to take a chance on playing both of the Camp 5 teams. Even though Norman Crawford, captain of the Camp 4 team, did considerable boasting before the game, it appeared pretty certain to your reporter that he could see a hard game ahead for him. Camp 5 played some hard-hitting ball, their main asset being their fast, wide end runs by Rix, Brooks, and Cookson. With their good blocking and fast running, these men netted the Camp 5 team the winning yardage. If not for the numerous 15 yard penalties imposed on them for using hands while on the offence, Camp 5 could have probably been able to score. In spite of this however, at the 3rd quarter Camp 5 had piled up 112 yards to their credit with Camp 4 tailing with only 56 yards, and game time being cal1ed on a 0-0 score. The game was given to Camp 5 on yardage, but after much disagreement on the part of Camp 4, the winner was final1y decided by the flip of a coin, with Camp 5 stil~ emerging the victor. Regardless of yardage, coins, penalties, or what have you, the Camp 5 team displayed excel1ent teamwork, and out ran, out passed, and out played the "old men'. of the Camp 4 team at every turn, no matter how hard they fought. Good defences were put up al1 the way by the Camp 5 team, with Douglas, McGreevy, McKell, and Hoffman, doing a wonderful job of stopping everything coming their way. Al1 in al1, Camp 5 played a good game of football, and the boys deserve a lot of praise for the fine display of sportsmanship throughout the entire game. November 25, 1952 Olympic Roundup |
