December 1966 practice schedule and game itinerary. Note that after we returned from Boston on Sunday, December 4th, Coach Foster must have flown out the very next day to scout Missouri against Indiana in Bloomington.
At B. U. and all games, Neal, Bernie and I would be ready to record all the stats on the above sheet with Steve working on the score book.

John, thanks for doing this! Must post late comments on the Penn articles. Penn coach said Jim was the difference in the game. True. Jim was such a competitor, he fired up all of us. Another article said Jim rushed home from practice to prepare his school work for the next day student teaching at Bridgewater Raritan HS. False! We all know Jim only watched TV all night!
ReplyDeleteJim's viewing habits, doubtless included Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin etc so he could develop his "stand up act."
