Winfield was recruited out of the intramural league, but because he was a good
basketball player, not because they were shorthanded. He was on the team the
whole season, and was indeed on the floor for the brawl.

Stew and Alan,

Yes Brewer was from the Chicago area but I don't know any of the
details. He was recruited by Bill Fitch, BTW, and was rumored to be
unhappy and to be considering leaving the U when Fitch left to coach in
the NBA. That is why they hired George Hanson, because he already knew
the players and vice versa.

Oops.

Also BTW, Stew your recollections of the basketbrawl cannot be correct.
Dave Winfield was NOT on the Gopher basketball team until after the
brawl. He was recruited out of the intramural league because the team
was short-handed.

Also if somebody out there has a computer, try

Results for election results. Thanks.
