Stayed home most of day. We bought a Polaroid camera on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. Ed and Joyce, Jimmy H. and Marsha came by before they went to ball game. We took pictures.
As Mom mentioned in the September 19 letter, Dad wanted to buy a Polaroid camera due to a lack of success taking photos up to this point. Hopefully this one was purchased at a retail establishment at the corner of Hollywood and Vine and not from some street vendor. (Hey, wanna buy a camera?) We can expect lots of pictures going forward, but unfortunately we don't have any of today's visitors for some reason.
Now we know why Ed and Joyce Kubala were in town this week. It was to attend the Texas vs. USC football game. Both teams were ranked in the top 10, and USC won 17-13. (The offensive coordinator for Texas was future head coach Fred Akers.) Texas finished the season third in the Southwest Conference. USC, on the other hand, went on to be consensus national champions, no doubt helped along the way by a junior running back named O. J. Simpson.
