California and Stanford started it. I understand you are from Long Beach.

Were you in the earthquake? C-r-In it, hell, I started it! How long were you in Long Beach? Since 1926. Horace, the philosopher, said, "Let your literary compositions be kept from the public eye for nine years at least." The citizens must be in sackcloth and ashes since you left. The Mayor hauled down all flags to half-mast for 30 days. Why for 30 days? He figured I'll be fired in a month. Have you lived in Long Beach all your life? No, I was born in New York City but spent the most tender Grid War Op ens Thursday on All Fronts lo years in Schenectady, IN.

The Pacific Coast Conference 'starts official practice Thursday, five days earlier than in the past, still ten days behind Dixie elevens. Most of us who pose as eggsperts berteve the winner of the Califor nia-Washington game at Seattle on October 24 will be the Western team in the Rose Bowl January 1. Logic makes the Golden Bears and the Huskies co-favorites. The tragic part is that nothing makes sense on a gridiron. Everything is distorted.

Here I am trying to bat out a general Coast advance yarn, a logical survey, but it is impossible. My mind has been poisoned by the rah-rah ballyhoodlums, who have been flooding the mails with their ravings for weeks.
