Probably nothing, but interesting. It’s in the bridge section of all places.

"By Oswald & James Jacoby Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Jim: "You have played with Oswald: "In the ‘Mikado’ the Lord High Executioner sings, ‘I’ve got them on my list. They never will be missed.’ I have a long list but I guess the top spot goes to the man who feels that he must show me that he has a five-card suit." Jim: "You mean the man who insists on rebidding any fivecard suit for fear you won’t know about it?" Oswald: "I might well have raised my partner directly to two spades. Three trumps to the king is certainly .. (continues into more bridge plays that happened in the game they are discussing)"

It seems pertinent to note that there were apparently some showings of The Mikado in Santa Cruz in 1967.
