I did not watch the seciond half of the NY-Det game last nite, but I heard a referee was knocked unconscious near the end of the fourth quarter. I also heard that a player was tossed out of the game. Was it an accident? Who was ejected? Did the ref continue to work the game? Did he lose some teeth? I hope someone can shed some light on this. One more thing. Saturday I heard Rich King of WBBM Newsradio78 say that an ambulance had been driven onto the field during the Oklahoma-Missouri game. The Sunday Chgo Trib sports section didn't mention anything about who was hurt, or how bad. Does anyone on the net know anything about it? Mike Clifford ihuxb!mcal

Yup, the referee got a mouthful of somethin' he didn't want! (An elbow) His mouth was bloodied, but no flying teeth that I know of. He valiently continued to ref. I believe it was No. 64 on the Lions (don't know the name). He was thrown out, because he had started to tangle and when the ref tried to stop him he got it. I don't think it was intentional, however. Sorry, don't know about the OK-Missouri game. B. Walsh
