Williams using a four man diamond defense with a center sweeper, identical to the defense employed by the Crimson last season, saw the game slip away in the first half when Felix Adedeji, positioning himself in front of the sweeper, picked up his second and third goals of the season within a five-minute span. Adedeji scored the second while facing away from the goal, flicking the ball over with his foot...
...pressure. A mine's relatively simple computer can be programmed to react to combinations of signals. Thus some mines are equipped with "counters." They will allow, say, nine ships to pass by and then blow up the tenth. Such mines greatly increase the dangers of minesweeping, since the sweeper may be the fatal tenth vessel...

But they eventually settled on a more mundane solution: a magnetic sweeper, forced through the tunnel by air pressure, picked up the stray bits of metal...

The Bisons have a powerful attack which moves the ball strictly on the ground and usually up the middle. They can go up the wings but unlike a normal offense the wings never cross...
