Little did Camp Northstar know of the fiendish groin injury
plot waged by two female members of Camp Mohawk in the women’s field hockey
game during the Intra-camp Olympiad.
This dastardly deed of harmful intent would make Northstar
lose ground in the point total and result in the loss of their star player and
marathon entry, Jackie.
We see their plan in action as the film cuts away from the
action, to find the two future Vassar graduates, standing still, nodding in
agreement as their target. They double
team Jackie with a hard knee to the groin, the most gruesome injury caught on
camera (with exception to Joe Theissman’s leg-break on Monday Night Football.)
Where were the refs? Did
Camp Mohawk buy them too? “The Groin
Injury Seen ‘Round the Lake”, as it would be called at Northstar for years to
come, was as plain as day and would be regarded in most hockey circles (ice,
field and floor) as a major misconduct penalty.
