I guess that I don't count as an alum, since I'm (miraculously) still here. I was on the Cal 40, about ten rows back. To say the least, it was WEIRD!! Guys looked like they were down, but suddenly you see this person running through the Stanfurd Marching Banned. Then silence, then the cannon on Tightwad Hill went off. They gave Cal the score. Forget sanity; it felt good partying on the astroturf with thousands of others. Then I went back to Evans Hall and finished up a lab. > What famous player said in an interview the next day, > > ``In four seconds, they ruined my entire college career''? Not hard. John Elway, in his last game wearing the Cardinal and white. Question: is it true that Elway (John) has never won a Cal-Stanfurd matchup? > With luck, Stanford will never live down The Play. > > Erik E.
