After many decades, a re-acquaintance of John Seely (L), and PHS Class of 1957 football teammate, John Kozaka (R). The heated focus was a memorable 19-0 victory over Adams High School, 27 October 1956, and an heroic 98-yard punt return by John Seely that was called-back because of a clip.Â
It went something like this,
Seely: 'You did it!'Â
Kozaka: 'It was a bad call by the ref (Head Linesman Dale Long of major league baseball fame), it wasn't my fault.'Â
Seely: 'I busted a gut for 98 yards, and you...and you...'.Â
Kozaka: 'You should have gone straight down the sideline instead of back-and-forth all over the field.'Â
The alleged Kozaka clip was at the PHS 17 yard line.Â
Let the truth be known. PHS lost 6 fumbles, and had 55 yards in penalties. The numbers don't include penalties refused or undetected, and fumbles recovered by the fumbling team.
