Fortunately for Art the presiding judge where his case was tried was a graduate of Oklahoma State. He got off with a fine, a stern warning and a provisional sticker pasted on his balloon pilot license. And it was of no little direct relevance that Southern Cal lost its momentum after the ballast barrage and Oklahoma State went on to win the game, earning the judge a cool five hundred bucks on a bet with his handball partner, an arrogant juvenile court judge who was a Southern Cal grad with an irritating chauvinistic Southern Cal grad attitude.
