Bruce Layer of
Houston Post Is Entering Service
HOUSTON,
Texas, Nov. 4. (AP) – This swan song, under Bruce Layer's
byline, appeared in the Houston Post
today:
"This
marks the last appearance of Sports of the Day for the
duration.
"Tomorrow morning I go to work for Mr.
Whiskers.
"Since
that Sunday afternoon last December when a radio blared out in
a lounge car of a train rumbling through Oregon I knew I would
get around to putting in some time for the old
gent.
"Nineteen
years ago I left San Antonio to come to Houston and today I
get ready to go back to say `I do' for
uncle.
"Covering
sports here has been a lot of fun. It was great working with
and for so great a group of sportsmen and when it is all over
I hope to get back for a few more guesses that will be as
wild as the one on Baylor last year." |
