Some must clamber to the 80th row. Hey, Ma! I want to be a ports writer. Like in the big ime. I had a press pass a veek ago Saturday to the Thats in case Big Game. THE TEAMS arrive.

It was fascinating. 3ars were parking two miles iway from the stadium, and, )h, my, those tailgate parties voices sitting in the east stands sun field. Then in a few moments a rising crescendo reverberates the venerated wooden stands and signals the arrival of the home team cardinal-cla- d were something to behold. warriors. Stanford Stinks, the Blue and Gold reply in FOOD AND drinK everywhere and the closer I got to the ball park the bigger hearty unison. Then those same 10,000 voices told Stanfords mascot "tree" what action and better the parties got. They went from beer and sandwiches on the station wagon tailgate to champagne and smoked salmon on buffet tables, complete with flowers, set up next to elaborate motor homes. Almost all of the par- ticipants were getting them- selves oiled up for the day. There were alumni parties, balloons, pretty girls, bands and vendors pennant everywhere you looked and the traffic was terrible. Cars bumper to bumper trying to trickle through the crowds to get to the special parking lots saved for the big contribu- tors. Then I saw' him. The old discarded mascot, Chief. Hes being replaced now by a tree, but to all the he is still number one. He was passing among the party-goer- s, wishing everyone well, dressed in his white deerskin clothing and beautiful feathered head dress. Quite a sight. Californias puppy dogs had! in mind for later in the day. The whole scene resembled a giant ant hill with people scurrying everywhere. There were only two signs of orderliness. Long lines of ladies waiting at the restroom doors and the intricate and detailed lines of football players warming up., for the game. The players form their position lines. They run and stop and throw and catch and hit and roll and jump and pivot, turn and pirouette with dancers skill. the ordinary din Uy many, many 'decibels. And when the red knot breaks itself the crowd is on its feet and fervor mounts to an unprecedented height, for this is football! The bands now take the THE DAY was beautiful. The sky was sparkling blue, washed fresh by rains. The soaring Eucalypall-nig- tus trees rose above the stadium wall. I entered gate 3 as directed and climbed the old wooden stairs. At the press box door I showed my simple, crimson card that bears the magic words and I, a complete nobody, was admitted to a football fans paradise. THERE I was on the d line, in my own upholstered chair, out of the wind with an unimpeded view from here to all the way across San Francisco Bay. And what e refreshments they pressed upon me. (I resisted very little, I admit). The hot pastrami was wonderful and the turkey and the beef iri all their bounty added their f heartiness to the salads, fruits and drinks, of many, kinds, that overwhelmed my pre-gam- eyes. Outside, where mere mor- tals were assembling, the fans were climbing those interminable stairs in long lines with grim determinati-e- field.

Then Stanfords ragged, motley crew in total disarray, convinced them- - selves that theyre all-ugl- Cavorting, dancing, prancing seems their name. Califor- nias band sweeps the field with a giant wedge of golden capes and burnished silver sousaphones much to Stanfords bands derision, most ungainly. THE COLORS are presented well. The fans still funnel toward the entry tunnel as the kick off starts the game. The Golden Bears looked tough and score in just three plays. Then just to prove no mistake they do it once again. ' Stanford cant run anywhere, but soon takes to the air and get a touchdown for themselves and trails at the half.

With time running out, the Cardinals wing their way to the California one yard line, fourth down, and fail to get the score.
