It was the one hundred and twenty third meeting between the rival teams and it was to be the final game in the seventy-four-year-old Taylor Stadium. The teams were well matched: both had had inconsistent and disappointing seasons. Although the victors of this match could not even claim a winning season, they could claim second place in the Colonial League. The weather was a spectator ' s night- mare— 17 degrees below zero with the wind chill factor. Many escaped the frigid weather and watched the game on television in the warmth of their homes or at Bloomer ' s. Others resorted to tailgating to keep their minds off the cold, although their frostbitten fingers, incapable of holding their beer cups, were a constant reminder of the sub- zero temperatures.
