Everyone got trophies when we won the Aspen Tournament ! .... and we think Collazo (now name of LaSaxon) still has the trophy

Coors Cup: (as told by Jim Russell) Barbos beat AFA at DU in the semi-final on Sat, on an icy field, by one point in a hell of a game, refereed by John Pollard. There were 2 controversial ref calls in that match, one where Pollard, who was a very good ref, called an AFA penalty goal good when all of us thought it missed, and he then disallowed a try by Yanigloss; after the match I asked Jim if he had scored the try, he said, “Yes”, and I agreed with him. If those 2 calls have been the other way it would have been a tie, and who knows what would have happened. Anyway, the Barbos barely beat the Academy, and went on the next day to beat Highlanders B.
