Grunting through a rainy afternoon, the Pigs triumphed over the Goats by a score of 19-0 at Eastern Michigan University, winning the cherished Pig Bowl trophy—a slop pail. The real winners, however, were needy children of the Ann Arbor area. Some 3,000 tickets were sold for the benefit game to buy Christmas toys. The Pig Bowl was also, in a small way, a victory for reason and humor. The Goats were none other than the police of Ann Arbor, and the Pigs were the Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputies, who know how to put an epithet to good use in the cause of better community relations.
