Before the Big Game begins at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, a less heralded Stanford-Cal match will take place between the Stanford Daily and the Daily Californian.
It’s a friendly rivalry – no pads or helmets required – known as the Ink Bowl, said ELIZABETH TITUS, editor-in-chief of the Stanford Daily.
After the match, the journalists will team up in Stanford-Cal pairs to distribute a joint Game Day newspaper from sites around the stadium and in the Fun Zone. It’s the first such collaboration between the two independent, student-run newspapers.
The 20-page newspaper, which also will be available on the Daily’s website, will feature a cover of the Daily on one side and a cover of the Daily Californian on the other.
“It’s packed with good stuff on Stanford and Cal sports – football previews, recaps, analysis, opinion, features, picks and rosters, plus highlights of other fall sports,” Titus said in an email message. “It will be a must-read souvenir on game day.”
