Some things I wasn’t able to squeeze into Friday’s column:
In 1956, you could buy a Trojans jacket at the Trojan shop. Note the sign in back, the “Trojane Shop” for women’s sportswear.
- I ran a picture of Life magazine covers with USC athletes Friday. Here are the four covers as they actually looked:
USC All-American Ralph Vaughn
The USC-Hollywood pipeline from the mid-1920’s to 1931: Ward Bond, John Wayne and Buster Crabbe.
Bond was a starting lineman on USC’s first national championship team (1928). He turned 25 that season, by the way. Crabbe was USC’s first All-American swimmer and an NCAA champion. How much Wayne actually played is a point of debate. He was on the freshman team and then got hurt and did not earn a letter.
InsideUSC with Scott Wolf 
Crabbe is the grandfather of Nick Holt who is now an analyst at Texas Tech. #GunsUp

Referring to a concubine in the 1950s, George, was taboo. But since then

Don’t feel badly, Charles, every man has both of those qualities to some degree, although we should not stop trying to put a lid on those tendencies.

The reason for a football defeat is not always clear. Same is true in a basketball game, although even more so because of so much scoring.
But baseball is different. Today the Dodgers were ahead 3-2, 2 outs in the last inning, and the second baseman misplayed a routine ground ball and 2 runs scored so that the Dodgers lost. Now that is pretty clear where to lay the blame for that loss.

Michael,
One of my favorite all time movies is, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”. Lee Marvin was such a mean son of a gun in that movie. He should have won an Academy Award for his role.
BTW, Marvin was a Marine and he was on Iwa Jima during the fight. You can see where he learned to be a little mean.
