The Axe - It's Ours Again!

Not a real pretty game. But we won. Cal now the victor of five Big Games in a row. Fans stormed the field after the end of the game.

An incredibly windy day in Strawberry Canyon, so much so that the California Banner needed to be brought down from its flag posts - it appeared that the Banner may have damaged the one of the flag posts and security did not let anyone sit in a vulnerable section of the student seating. Not a great shot (cell phone camera), but you can tell from the photo that the Banner is missing, as well as a few flags.


Rally Committee, for some reason, took the Banner from the Cannon Platform and placed it just below the UCRC section; I'm assuming the Main Banner was damaged as well. Trivia: the replacement Banner was originally flown at the 1982 Big Game as the main Banner (see the photo of this Banner in an earlier posting), and when it retired, was presented as a gift to Chancellor Tien in the 1990's. Later, it was seen in the lodge of Camp Gold at the Lair of the Bear. Somehow it got back into UCRC's good hands.

Go Bears!
