I was there for that game. It had me fooled for a while! It’s been 40 years but I seem to recall the “Seminole” riding onto the field on a horse with the flaming spear and he thrust the spear into the ground. Mike the Tiger then pulled the “Seminole” off the horse and the “fight” ensued.

It was a wild game with the oranges raining down and the fog rolling in.

That's how i remember it as well!

It was an electric atmosphere in Death Valley that night.

Oranges piled up a foot deep all the way around the field fence by half time and the numerous personal fouls on the crowd.
