Show STRANGE AS IT SEEMS ByJohnHlx ok wit ttmt km; wiM "OVWI THR FKIWH ... ; Strange aj Its seems, the University of Nebraska football team once won game outside of their stadium! The freak touchdown was made when Sid Collins, center on the opposing Lincoln (Neb.) high school team, became overanxious on snapping the ball while deep in the Lincoln territory. It sailed clear over the high wooden fence that surrounded the playing field. A mad scramble followed. Lundin, Nebraska tackle, wormed through a loose board and fell on the ball for a touchdown, only one of the entire game. 8uch a play would not be possible today as touchdowns by recovery re-covery must now be made inside of the end tone. MAN-MADE CRATER . . . Four times the volume of Arizona's meteor crater, the Hull Rust-Mahoning Rust-Mahoning open pit Iron ore mine In the Mesaba range, Minnesota, is the largest excavation of this type in the world. Miles of railroad track wind down 350 feet to the bottom of the pit from which 225,000,000 cubic yards of earth, rock and Iron ore have been excavated. Work has been carried on In this location for 42 years. (Copyright, 1937, for The Telegram) |
