The World Town key, court, safety. Colgate shaped green, court, or rail. We're in New York tomorrow afternoon, we'll be broadcasting the Army Notre Dame football game, but let's get in with the night show.

Our guest tonight is one of the most famous artist to read, but first, wheel one, foot trade, on a strange football start. Tomorrow, out in California, the University of California battled the University of Southern California in the West Coast, most important football game.

In thinking of Southern California and football, it reminds me of one of the great sports stories, a story of a Southern California football team. This story begins back in 1931 when Southern California was playing Notre Dame.

Notre Dame that year had a great team, and at halftime when the Southern California team came back into a dressing room, Notre Dame was leading 14 to nothing, and apparently Notre Dame had that game one.

But the Southern California coach was a man named Howard Jones, and he was far from Lick. Quietly Howard Jones began to talk to his team. And suddenly, suddenly there was a terrific emotion just outside the dressing room door.

Howard Jones went to that door, yanked it open in there. There stood a very young girl, a face read with the excitement from her fight to get into that Southern California dressing room. And before Howard Jones could stop her, that girl was in the dressing room.

Listen, Dave. Never mind who I am. But I've got a kid brother who's lying in a hospital in California. Listen to this game. He's six. Very six. He may not get well. But he thinks seven California is the greatest school in the world.
