TODAY'S
SPORTS PARADE
.By HENRY McLEMORE

still blinked. the march on Palo
Altos stadium started. BY mid
morning the unbelievable frenzy
that always accompanies this game
was at its height.
Net all of the persons who
would like to see this game will
be there at kick off time. because
today's papers carried final lists
of those who were injured in the
spirited riOting of last night and
the night before. To the average
abiding citizen the only
bright spOa i'm these casualty lists
were the names of policemen who
had been banged around.
Not counting those on crutches
and those wearing adhesive tape
ornaments the crowd will approach
$4,000 customer for each seat
in the place. The threat of rain
means nothing. CALIFORNIA; explain
this scorn for the unruly elemtns
by saying that rain is so unusual
out here that they thoroughly enjoy
having it run down their necks
and dampen their insteps and
ankles.
But as I said, Chinatown all was
calm today
Before I left for Palo Alto I
went down there = to pick up a
messy little Ming vase I wanted
for my kitchenette-and I scarcely
heard a mention of ''flootball''. The
fact that % boys were to meet each
other on the field of battle didnt t
seem to disturb the peace of China
town. Could it. I thought. be be-
cause most of them were thinking
of the millions of boys in China
who were meeting on field of
battle where there was no referee
to enforce the rules, and the cost
of admission was not S4.40 but
life?
But one must not think of such
things in San Francisco today. The
game at Palo Alto is my business
and Chinatown and the Ming vase
which aroused my suspicious of its
antiquity when I saw a made in
Newark. N. j." label On its base,
are just si'delines.
(Private to vase collectors: II
you know anything about the
Newark dynasty" I would appre-
ciate your letting me know
The facts on the big game are
these:
roIsfnr,x.a &c, ,.,,lnFaafnI &c
victorious today will march
straight into the Rose Bowl. The
Golden Bears are rated as the
best team the Pacific coast has
seen in more than a decade.
Stanford, after slow start, has
been coming along fast, and in a
tradition soaked game like this one
might win. If Stanford does it will
butcher the betting commissioners
who have installed California as a
3 to / favorite and make the Rose
Bowl bid subject to vote.
California has a great line, and
three all-America backfield candi-
dates in Bottari, Chapman and
Meek.
Stanford is counting heavily on
Halfback Fay. one of the fastest
and shiftiest players in the country
I started to say that everybody
would be at the game-even a few
of the younger Chinese-who wear
tyrol hats and dance the big apple
But then I happened to glance out
of the window, and there, sitting
out in the bay. rock-bounj and
desolate, was the worlds most ex-
elusive island. No one will go from
there to Palo Alto, short as the
distance is.
Because the little island is AL
catraz.
