I am trying to find information about Roy Ringle or Ringel.  He was a
football player (I believe for Wisconsin who played in a Rose Bowl in
the 30's.  He intercepted a pass or recovered a fumble, got confused
and ran the wrong way toward his own goal. His mistake became a tongue
twister, "Roy Ringel's wrong way run in the Rose Bowl."  Can you find
an article on this event?  Martin Patterson

Hello Martin,

I first searched for "Roy Ringel's wrong way run in the Rose Bowl,"
but then realized that the name may have been misspelled, so I
searched for "wrong way run in the Rose Bowl," which lead to the
articles below.
