When Beatty/Hammond went up against Greenville, there was a serious and entertaining struggle when offense met defense. I don't remember who won, but I do remember in at least one match that Beatty/Hammond got "rolled" by the rotating goal.

Ken,
In the stories I've heard, Beatty wins, but only because of a last minute strategic error by Greenville.
(Maybe the story teller was biased).
I guess we know who went on to fame that year!
For the full story, you'd have to ask someone who was there, with a better memory. (Or the video).
I've got my copy of SPI #18 sitting on my bookshelf next to me. What a cool machine.
Ken -- if you exclude me from every contest where I know the answer, I'll never win anything!
