Final score, Stanford 20, Cal 19.
Also, Joe Starkey had laryngitis.
And I had a pleasant walk back to my car along fraternity row, where members of Cal's upstanding fraternities good-naturedly congratulated me on Stanford's close victory.
Your memory matches mine. I was in the end zone where the alleged "winning touchdown" scored. First date with my then-future wife, went with my best friend, and his girlfriend. Good times.
