On a balmy Saturday in South Florida, fans began filing into a football stadium to watch their Miami Hurricanes play another underdog opponent.
Besides talking about the game, there was plenty of chatter about other things such as the historic performance of the Chicago Cubs in the recent World Series, America’s success in the Summer Olympics, and the November 8th election which had swept a new president into office with surprising ease.
The year was 1932.
Hurricanes’ records show that on December 24, 1932, Miami defeated William and Mary, 6-2. What the records don’t show is that Miami’s opponent was an impostor.
