60,000 See Japan Bowl In Tokyo
Chuck Muncie, the 230 pound running back from California, scored the first American college football touchdown on foreign soil and added another as the West beat the East 27 to 18 in the Japan Bowl. Harry Marshall of Missouri scored twice for the West before about 8,000 spectators, the largest crowd for a sporting event in Japan since 1964. The game drew a mixed crowd of Japanese and Americans, many military families, and marked the first time two American college squads played on foreign soil. The event celebrated the American bicentennial and featured six Japanese players in brief action at the end. Mike Haynes was named outstanding defensive player, Ed Simonini outstanding lineman, and Dave Buckley outstanding back.
