| Description: | Football Highlights of 1957 Oklahoma again rules the football scene but the Sooners didn't go un-defeated. In the years out-standing gridiron up-sets the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame scored the only touchdown in a hard and closely fought game to end the longest winning streak in football. The Heisman Award went to Texas A&M, All American Half-Back, John David Crowe. A pro career loom in 58' for the college star of '57. Football had it up-sets and its heroes and also the unexpected, like this play in Canada's Grey Cup Classic. MSOH - The Winnipeg pass is intercepted by a Hamilton player. Touchdown for sure. Not! He gets tripped on his way to the goal line by a fan. Unhappy football player. MS - Crowed stadium with wet fans. Rain and mud made a shamble of many of game. But this one topped them all. Talk about greased pigs and muddy pig skins. Over for a touchdown in 1957 sport slid to a finished. So the year slipped away. (No team name was mentioned in this muddy football game, and you could not make it out either). | |
