Memorable Events
Colonel Pollard was stationed at Fort Carson. Wing Commander Mason brought him up to ref and then he took on coaching duties. He was a lot of fun at the parties (!)
First Alumni match played in April 1972 (team vs 11 grads plus Al Osur) Won 27-7 against the alumni
From Jim Russell regarding the Cranwell match: It was on a weekday afternoon, Wednesday I think. It turns out that the Cranwell kids had flown over the day before, and of course had jet lag-they may have had to use an RAF transport plane, never very comfortable. Anyway, in the late morning of the day of the match, Capt. Al took the Cranwell players to lunch…at Shakeys, a rot-gut pizza joint, and filled them with 3.2 beer and Shakeys pizza. Several hours later, the Cranwell team rolled out onto the pitch somewhat the worse for wear from the trip and Al’s lunch. Shortly after the second half kickoff, we were going to have a line out when I happened to look at one of the Cranwell second row player, who suddenly, literally, turned green. I back up and this kid blew lunch, Shakeys pizza and beer, all over the place. They helped him off, and the rest of Cranwell, who were not in good shape anyway, folded, leading to an easy win for the Zoomies.
