The USC Friday Column Supplement

I wrote this morning that Chick Hearn was the assistant coach for the Daily Trojan when it played the Daily Bruin for the 1956 Blood Bowl and said the DT would run a “multiple offense.”

How did it turn out? The Daily Trojan lost, 12-0.

  • To Hearn’s credit, he picked USC to beat UCLA, 19-14, in the actual game in 1956. USC won, 10-7.

“It’ll take the Trojans’ best game to whip UCLA,” Hearn said.

Roy Storey, the voice of the Bruins, picked UCLA, 13-0.

  • Here’s a nice illustration of USC running back C.R. Roberts from 1956.
  • Here are some more pictures of the Ted Owen restaurant on Crenshaw Blvd. in Los Angeles in 1949. How great would it be to go back in time and order a thick steak and thin pancakes?

  1. Better than the food at Ted Owen’s restaurant would be to pay 1949 prices for it

    Did Chick Hearn use his pet phrases back then?– “The eggs are cooling in the refrigerator, SC has won again”

      2. You’re not being morbid, old friend —just truthful. What happened here is a disgrace beyond measure. Except for the extraordinary efforts of our mostly volunteer Fire Department there was no government response to this disaster —no sirens, no help from the police. And the negligence continues –I’ve communicated to Maui Electric the extreme danger posed by the rotting utility poles sitting in dry brush encircling Kihei Charter School —and they’ve shown zero interest in preventing another tragedy.

        You are just like all of the old grads who are conservative to the bone.

    1. Only Chick Hearn (around 2000-01) could have gotten away with this one. He was working with Stu Lantz and they were going over the future schedule and Chick saw a Holiday game. He said, “This is showing up as a Holiday, says its MLK. What’s this Stu, Got Milk? He would have been fired on the spot today.

      1. Never heard that one Yesterday but given Chick’s advancing years sounds about right. And I agree that if it happened today he would likely be fired by spineless corporate management but that would be tragic. Chick loved all people and Black people knew it. He was not racist, just an older man who lost touch with some of what was going on in the culture. The MILK holiday because he could no longer mentally process MLK; how can you possibly be angry at an old man for saying that. RIP Chick, we miss you.

      2. Yeah, but I’ll never forget how rude he was with one little old lady who was a die hard fan and called in to Laker Talk saying, “What we need to do is…”

        Chick replied, “What’s this ‘we’ stuff? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Are YOU a Laker?!”

    2. Exactly! The mustard fell off the hot dog. Yo yoing up and down with the ball. Put him in the pop corn machine. The Bunny hop in the pea patch. The leaping leana. The ref needs Windex for his glasses that was a bad call. And of course the games in the refrigerator the butter is getting hard, the Jell-Os giggling, and the eggs are cooling! And if the Lakers were winning a title, it was the champagnes getting cold.

    1. I remember that game. Chick was the best and most honest announcer in sports. Just Like Vin Scully. We are all blessed to have had them both in LA.. May they both rest in peace.

    1. JT has had a rough patch. Nice to hear that he had a good game. But, he needs to come to the realization that he does not possess NFL athleticism and his future lies in other activities. Rice has strong academics. Hope JT takes advantage of it.
