THIS CALIFORNIA chain of restaurants gets high marks from locals for
barbecue.  In addition to baby-back ribs and tri-tip sandwiches, the restaurant offers
a California twist on barbecue: the barbecue chopped salad.  It features
lettuce, white corn, beans, tortilla strips and barbecue chicken.  The sauce here
is mesquite flavored, and heavy on the smoke.

BOOLA-BOOLA

   I've got this crazy song in my head now and can't get it out!  Oh, I hate
Yale!
   This has puzzled etymologists and food mavens for a century, so here goes.

 ....For me, there was an additional -- more personal -- reason for
excitement: hearing the marching band play "Boola Boola" at the season opener against
UConn. My grandfather, Allan M. Hirsh, Class of 1901, had written the song in
the fall of 1900. It was published in early 1901, and along with his many other
accomplishments, had long been part of our family lore. I heard him play and
sing it many times as a kid; yes, it has words, lots of words. The repeated
words "Boola Boola" that we think of as the entire song make up only a small
part of the chorus, itself a fraction of the entire piece. In fact, my

      _YALE'S NEW SONG._
_It is Sung Now Generally and Will be_
   _Heard in Harvard and Princeton Games._
   New Haven, Oct. 30.--Hope of a victorious eleven has caused new football
songs to bubble forth at Yale with spontaneous effervesence.  The ode which is
now sung most generally and which will be heard in the Harvard and Princeton
games, is as follows:

Well, here we are: we;; here we are!
   Just watch us rolling up a score.
We'll leave poor Princeton behind so far,
   She won't want to play us any more.
There's Stillman, Olcott, Gordon, Brown!
  To-night we'll own the town!
Well, a Boola, Bool, Boola, Boola, Bool,
Boola, Bool, Boola, 'oola, Boola, Boola
      CHORUS.
Boola, Boola, Boola, Boola,
Boola, Boola, Boola, Boola,
When we rough-house
The poor old Tiger
He will holler "Boola Boo!"
Oh, Yale, Eli Yale, Eli Yale, Eli Yale,
When we rough-house the poor old Tiger,
He will holler "Boola Boo!"

Now ain't it a shame; now ain't it a shame.
   To do Fair Harvard up so bad
We've done it before, we can do it once more,
   Tho, they'll feel very, very sad,
We'll roll up the score so very high
   That you will hear them sigh--
"Bool, Boola, Bool, Boola, Boola, Bool,
Boola, Bool, Boola, Boola, B oola, Bool.
      CHORUS
Boola, Boola, Boola, Boola,
Boola, Boola, Boola, Boola,
When we rough-house
Poor old Harvard,
They will holler, "Boola, Boo!"
Yale, Eli Yale, etc.
