Friday night in the city championship Goodfel-low Game at Tiger Stadium. A CROWD of 37,157 good fellows and gals who turned out in bone-chilling weather saw Bet' 'They Didn't Miss a Free Press Photos by ED HAUN and FRED PLOFCH AN Hemmed-in Kay Malcoun broke away for six yards and St. Ambrose TD Bv for A Stand ctwn In Tom Beer, 196-pound defensive specialist, make two big plays that broke Pershing's back in the second quarter. Actually, it was one of the quickest games in the 24-year history of the Goodfel-low classic. They played the National Anthem at 7:55 and six minutes later the Cavaliers pushed Pershing into a hole from which it never emerged.

PERSHING'S Dick Smith fumbled a pitchout on the second play from scrimmage a'nd St. Ambrose end Charles Kuess recovered on the Doughboy 25- ig Ten ace Time was called, and the police and ushers attempted to hold the crowd off the playing field. The goalpost went down in a mass of humanity, and the game continued with the sidelines hidden under the first wave of teenagers ready to swarm on the field. At the end of the game the field was completely covered with teenagers, and the St. Ambrose and Pershing students had to push their way to their players.

The crowd was entertained by the bands of Cody and Catholic Central High Schools. BOISTURE used the same team of spotters that helped him to the Goodfellow championship two years ago against Cooley. 1 Frank Buford. head coach of Salesian, and Mike Rhodes, "They were more alert hungrier and real opportunists." said Mike Haddad, Pershing's dejected coach who lost his first Goodfellow Game in three tries. "They helped us beat ourselves." THE CROWD again got out of hand and the game had to be held up until the last splinter of each goalpost was whisked up into the stands.

The crowd, wearing the school colors and jackets of almost every school except the two contestants, got to the north goalpost with 3:03 remaining. The far-too-few police assigned to the game got the crowd back into the stands only after the post was completely dismantled. The crowd then broke from the stands along the first and third-base sides of the stadium and swarmed over the field. BY JOE DOWDALL "A band of opportunists." That was the appraisal of St. Ambrose's victorious squad by the two rival coaches as they were pushed and shoved in the throngs which poured over the playing field at Tiger Stadium, "Our defense did it." said Tom Boisture as he attempted to shake the hand of each of his players.

"They boasted of having the best defense in the state. "We showed them what a defense is. They didn't fumble. We hit them so they would fumble. And we got the ball five times that way.

"WE KNEW the game was ours when Tom Beer grabbed off their handoff and went all the way with it.
