...during which Columbia gained ground on running plays, completed wobbly passes, and finally, scored on an off-tackle smash for 28 yards by Ven Yablonski. The other 55 minutes saw the had-charging Blue line dumping Columbia's would-be hurlers onto the earth, the backers-up holding the trickiest ground thrusts to little or no yardage, and the backfield crippling the Lions with five (count 'em) pass interceptions...

The senior gunner, Sergeant Allen, asked the pilot for permission to blow the guns: there was a chattering rattle all round us as Allen and his mates tested their powerful armament...
