As the sufficiency of the evidence establishing the negligence of Edmonds as the driver of one of the trucks is not challenged, the above recital is adequate for the purpose of discussing the points presented jointly by defendants Harold Dyer and Jack M. Edmonds on this appeal.
Apparently the amendment to the complaint was not served on defendants Dyer and Edmonds, and first came to their attention in open court during the course of the trial.
Nor was there a motion for a directed verdict made on behalf of defendant Dyer because of any deficiency in the proof against him as an individual on the issue of liability for the happening of the accident.

But Dyer was a completely different character off the field, described by all as a gentleman, who never swore in front of women and chastised anyone who did.
When asked how by Richards, Dyer claimed that when he kicked the ball, it burst with the bladder going through the goal posts and the cover through for a point, giving him and the Tigers 7 points.

 Why We Must Lose This War, Gwynne Dyer, Jack Lessenberry, ThinkingPeace
What the world needs most in the long run (if there's to be a long run), he reminds us, is a stable international order in which all nations gradually work on abandoning war as an acceptable way of settling any differences.
Dyer isn't starry-eyed about this; he thinks it will take a hundred years at least to get major countries to stop resorting to war, "for it is trying to change international habits that had at least 5,000 years to take root."
Dyer argues what other economists have told me in whispers: "The U.S. economy is a confidence trick based on everybody else's perception that the United States is centrally important for the world's security and that its economy is centrally important for the world economy."
