In 1912, Florida played the Cuban Athletic Club
in the Bacardi Rum Bowl in Havana. At some point,
Florida coach George Pyle became irate with
officials because the refused to call any
penalties against the Cuban Athletic Club. Pyle
then learned that one of the officials was
a former coach for the Athletic Club. He
refused to continue the game and was immediately
arrested by Cuban authorities because gate money
was taken and fans were denied completion of
the game. A judge ordered Pyle to take his team out
of the country or he would have them all arrested.
