STANFORD COMES EAST

WHEN Dartmouth's six-car special train of football players dropped down out of Reno, over the Rockies, into the sunny San Joaquin Valley late last November, hospitality of very expansive and genuine warmth was awaiting them.

At the Ferry House across the Golden Gate bands welcomed them; in San Mateo the coaching staff was welcomed by Pop Warner; enthusiastic alumni showed the players California at its loveliest and invited them to their homes; at Palo Alto, Stanford managers and heelers helped at practice. No privilege was withheld and no courtesy was overlooked.

When Stanford comes east this month, we hope that Dartmouth representatives will be similarly kind and receptive. It will indeed be difficult to duplicate the felicitous natural settings which the Dartmouth camp enjoyed last year. November New England weather is likely to be much more churlish than that of central California, particularly to a delegation accustomed to palm and eucalyptus trees. Whatever bleakness of temperature meets the Cardinals when they arrive must be neutralized with cordial hospitality by their eastern hosts.

Were the game to be played in Hanover, the agencies of welcome of the Green Key and the student body would take care of Stanford entertainment. But with the game in Boston and during the Thanksgiving recess, returning Stanford's courtesy becomes an alumni responsibility. We know they will respond graciously.

For although Stanford is our rival-at-greatest-distance in personnel, ideals, and thinking our West Coast opponents are more similar to Dartmouth than ap/y other team on our schedule.

May their stay in Boston be as pleasant as was Dartmouth's in San Mateo.
