QUOTE from Humphrey Bogart: On his deathbed in 1957 Humphrey Bogart uttered these words: "I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis."
A fun MEMORY: While cleaning out some files in my office the other day I ran into this article. It was in the Rochester Post-Bulletin in September of 1957. It was fun to read again. I thought I'd share it today so see if any of you are impressed with these two JOCKS. Ha!~ Here it is:
PLAINVIEW FUMBLE ENABLES CHATFIELD TO GAIN 6-0 WIN.
Pouncing on a Plainview fumble in the third quarter, the Chatfield Gophers made their homeconing celebration a happy affair by scoring a 6-0 victory in their opening Whitewater league game.
Chatfield's big break came after a Plainview back fumbled a handoff, the slippery ball eluding his clutching fingers. Alert Jerry Narveson, all-around Chatfield athlete , recovered on the Plainview 42 to set the wheels in moti0n.
The Gophers wasted little time in scoring. Pete Bungum threw a pass to Pete Sullivan, the play carrying nine yards to the 33. Bungum then picked up three yards. Jim Buchanan went 10 yards to the 20, and Bungum connected on an aerial to Sullivan for a first down to the 17. Facing a fourth down and three situation, Narveson went off tackle to the three to rack up another first down. Narveson then slashed through the massed Plainview line for the TD.
Narveson attempted to plunge for the extra point but was racked up inches away from the payoff stripe.
"Strictly a team victory," was Coach Ziebell's appraisal of the game. "The boys wanted to win this game for the homecoming crowd and they succeeded."
(I'm sure all you readers are impressed with the heroics of Pete and Jerry.)
Some HUMOR for today (other than the above): I also found some Iowa State - Iowa jokes. These two schools do not like each other.
Iowa State jokes about Iowa:
1. On the Iowa City campus they installed a new water fountain. Well it's not actually a fountain, it's an enema bag with a slow leak.
2. How can you spot a Hawkeye? He's the one who could move into a slum and lower property values.
He's the one who asks for ketchup for his caviar.
He's the one who quit water polo cuz his horse drowned.
He's the one who goes ice fishing and comes home with a 25 pound block of ice and has it mounted.
Iowa jokes about Iowa State: The Cyclone football coach hired a beautician to work with their split ends.
The Iowa State professor bought a new hide-a-bed and now he can't find it.
The Iowa State football team has a balanced attack. They were intercepted as often as they fumbled.
Iowa State has culture. You can take the course, ELIZABETHAN HOG CALLING 101.

Hey Pops, fun post here!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember us eating carrots at dinner as kids, and then turning off the lights so we could see if we could "see in the dark"? You lied too!
#2 Hawk!
Hi, Pete, I remember the game well. One thing the article doesn't mention that I had the best lineman in the conference lined up right ahead of me--Harold Becker.. They don't get any credit, do they.. I suppose Ruth Ann had to put her boots on to read this blog? Jerry
ReplyDeleteI would like to have been on the other side of that line when Narveson came barreling through. It would have been an easier hit than his fast ball in baseball. The Ode
ReplyDeleteOh, good grief. You all are so full of it. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd, yea, I agree with Brad. You made us eat all those damn carrots and now I wear TRIFOCALS!!!??? No wonder I hate carrots to this day.
