Well, son of a bitch, Ottawa actually brought in one of these at some point and has Fisher Park to thank for it.
Having taken some time to give a longer look at the first Panda Game in 1955 earlier today, I thought I'd move ahead with this tournament. Since the next one to cover was 1957's and I was in the neighborhood, so to speak, I took a few minutes to glance at its results. I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
Ottawa schools have a history of success at this football exhibition; they usually defeat the opponent presented to them in fairly convincing manner.
However, the trophy was normally handed off to another team that also won its game that weekend so seeing it handed over to an Ottawa rep was a bit of a shock. I suspect the dramatic fashion in which the game was won played a significant factor. Good for Fisher.
