Notes Newscopy: "'Beat Lowell' banner that mysteriously appeared atop the City Hall late yesterday brought back memories for Mayor Christopher, who attended both Galileo and Mission, and also brought about a blowup by His Honor. 'Get that down and bring it to me!' the mayor thundered. 'I want it myself.' The banner apparently was strung between two flagpoles on the Polk st. side by Lincoln High School supporters. Football teams of the two schools clash today at Kezar Stadium. At stake is a berth in the Thanksgiving Day championship game.".
