Immediately after the game, Demos, who had selected their home field, positioned the field markers and yard lines, complain to the judges that the goal line was distorted, that they should have been allowed one more player, the clock was 1/2 second off, and argue that measuring each step the ball carrier took from the line of scrimmage proved that he actually did cross the goal line instead of falling short and that this final league game should have been decided by the more accurate method of measuring footprints instead of chalk lines on the field used by the 49 other teams. See you in court ! Sig
