I was a structure analyst for the JCSC team. I ran the computation room. We used the computer facilities at JCSC for real time analysis of the games, and then fed info back to players. The two colleges that played the games were St.Peter's of Jersey City. They accepted our first Challenge. They also lost , but were good sports about it. They were trying to win it with the Flipper. We won it for the Gipper. The second set of games was with Montclair State College. We swamped them also. They gave us much more ruthless competition, being a sister school and having as much deviant philosophy about sports. I will add however Montclair, did stay with in the rules of engagement despite our attitude problem of wanting to win all the time. Tommy Tilt

I was a trajactory analysis for the JCSC team. Being both a physicist and mathematic major, I was the teams advisor on vectors. Wildlife, Flying Carpet, and Airport were the machines use. Certanily the Army /Navy football matches wouold have been interesting , but the Navy would have beaten the Army because they would have had the advantage of operation in a moving enviroment, aboard a ship, which would have given them much better skill and faster reflexes. But I am not sure is large wave would have enhanced a tilt.

I was a cheerleader for JCSC. It was my job to distract the opositon, giving JCSC the edge on all matches. It will be 30 years this 2004 that JCSC hold the record. Guinesses Book will not publish it. We hold all records. Gunisesses Book is like the NCAA, looking of money too and a racket.
