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.”
