Before a roaring crowd of 80,000, they completed their amazing jump from cellar to Rose Bowl, outplaying California (13-to-7), just as they had outplayed San Francisco, Oregon, Santa Clara, Washington State, Southern California, U. C. L. A., Washington, Oregon State. Amid the loudest whoops that had been heard in Palo Alto since Ernie Nevers' day, the Indians sat down to a powwow, tried to decide whom they wanted to tackle at Pasadena on New Year...

In Manhattan's mellow Carnegie Hall, the Philharmonic-Symphony also launched its 99th season of concerts. This last event produced the loudest crash.
