Crimson Faces Key Gridiron Contest

In what David Eisenhower has termed "The Battle of the Century," the undefeated Crimson touch football team, fresh from a 23-2 pasting of Box Jox, hosts a once-blemished Daily Pennsylvanian squad on the gridiron next to Soldiers' Field this morning at 9:30.

The unusual early morning hour, which according to Tom "Crazy Legs" Aronson "really stinks because I'm usually hung over," was arranged so that millions of viewers in Zaire, Africa could witness the struggle live via closed-circuit television.

The Crimson squad enters the titanic tilt riding high on the crest of a 399-game winning streak, while the several-game D.P. streak was broken last Tuesday by Philadelphia Textile 11-5. Textile Tech sacked Pennsylvanian quarterback Buzzy "Bumble Bee" Bissinger seven times in that contest.

Bissinger was quoted after the game as saying, "We thought we had the Textile game sewn up, but they ripped the seams in our zone and rallied to pin our only loss of the season on us."

The D.P., according to Eisenhower, who has covered the squad for a large Philadelphian newspaper, will be psyched to upset the powerful Crimson squad which is favored in the game by 21 points according to Jimmy the Greek.

The Crimson, however, is ready to repel the assault, as player-coach Robin Freedberg has been drilling her squad intensively all week. Injured running backs Ron Wade and Jeff "The Human Bowling Ball" Leonard, are expected to be back in action for today's clash.

The Lincolnesque Bob Garrett, who hails from Muhammed Ali's home town, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
