DISQUS

I hate the lakers! Well not so much hate as dislike.... what happened to my 1929 Oil City High School PA Varsity team? They had suck a knack for moving the ball around the key...
Poor olde Russell Carroll left for mexico the following year to try his luck in the oil business but was shot in the head during a dispute in a bar over his then local squeeze Rosita Cammarillo.
Then point man Harold Conrad tried his luck in the automat game down in Bixby but he never made it. He soon wandered out west to old Calif to try his luck as a tuna fisherman in San Diego. Then during the summer of 1932 a squall came out of baja and capsized his 28 foot diesel powered trawler.
On a good note left guard Maynard Hipwell joined the then air force wing of the Army where he worked himself up to captain. I heard he settled in with a country english dame named Freta Jervis and they settled down in Minneapolis Minn where he finished out his days flying puddle jumpers from Minneapolis to Kansas City for Northwestern Airlines. But oh those were the glory days!!! Nobody looked like they were taking a dump in their shorts!

No, in those days the players didn't wear shorts that looke as though they had a diaperful -- but on the other hand, it's said that the great Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics totally blew chow before every game he ever played.

Missed howlin rain -- no lie, I went to a lecture that put forth an entirely new theory about how the granite towers of yosemite were formed -- but i didn't know where howlin rain was playing. the granite towers lecture was out at claremont college.
