TROY CAGERS OPEN TWO-GAME SERIES WITH UCLA TONIGHT
by Stan Wood
The famine of local SC basketball games will soon be over.
This weekend the cage menu is spiced by a choice tidbit—a pair of PCX: contests with the UCLA Bruins at the Pan-Pacific auditorium.
Not since Dec. 8 when they hosted and beat the San Francisco Dons, have the Trojans performed locally. Since that date, the hoopsters have played 10 road games in an itinerary that spanned the country from Berkeley to Raleigh. N. C.
This, the 92nd encounter between the cross-town rivals starts at 8:30 tonight and if past records mean anything, Troy, despite its underdog status for this contest, should gain the win. The teams meet again tomorrow night at the same time at the Pan.
In the rivalry that dates back to 1928, the Trojans* have captured 19 of 24 opening games from the Bruins. SC lost only three openers to UCLA since 1932.
Records, however, are meaningless when these rivals meet, be it football, basketball, or chess.
While on the subject of records, Coach Forrest Twogood went on record yesterday by saying that for the first time this season, his charges will be ready for the clashes. His key players have overcome sundry ailments which hampered them all season and will be at their best physically.
The squad showed more enthusiasm for these contests than for any previous games, and this is not an apathetic group of athletes; they love to play basketball. While not a great team, they are an aggressive and fighting outfit
that will go all out in quest of victory. In short, they give the best they have.
Whether this is enough is the question.1 Many cage dopesters don’t believe they have the stuff to whip the Bruins, but those close to the SC basketball scene think differently. They would register no surprise should Troy snare both games. Furthermore, the players themselves believe they can win.
The Trojans received a pleasant surprise yesterday when informed they would be able to practice on the Pan court—the first time this has happened. On every other occasion, the cagers had their 30-minute pre-game warmup. the same as any visiting team, and that was it.
Yesterday evening the squad raced through a rough scrimmage session and the several loose threads in the
Trojan armor unfurled in previous games were mended. Twogie’s final word was that his boys were ready for the Bruins	_(Continued on Page 3)

Petty Bickerings But by the time the Senate got I around to doing this at 11:15 p.m. j the solons had run the gamut from j petty political bickering and con-| fusing parliamentary maneuvering ! to intense debate on a proposed ! constitutional amendment that j brought fourth varied reactions I from the onlookers who packed the : Senate chambers.
Before recess at 8 the senators Lseemed determined to do nothing.
, When the session resumed the op-i posite was the case.
First, the Senate disposed of Jerry Blackwell's constitutional amendment to create an independent women’s representative. There was no debate opposing this amendment and only one solon, Senr.tor-at-La:-ge Jerry Amo, voted against the proposal.
The way to passage of the amendment had been cleared earlier when Blackwell introduced a bylaw creating an independent women’s council which will be headed by the new representative. Under the new arrangement there also will be an independent men’s council, to be headed by the non-org men’s representative, instead of the single
