Thanks.

The argument could be made that it was crossing a lane line in reverse. This was a penalty, and a pretty severe one (<G22> was that rule that year, for anybody wanting to look it up--there may have been another one as well).

Regarding the defense played on 1501: There was a big discussion of that at the time. If I recall, the "consensus" was that the defense was borderline, but legal. And that consensus was the result of an argument.
