A-Battery Story Featured In New Engineer Magazine
by Jack McCurdy
The armageddons which finish both the PCC Southern Division basketball season ar either SC or UCLA’s championship aspirations come off tonight and tomorrow night at Westwood. Both games begin at 8:30.
Trojan and Bruin basketball teams go into the final conflict in this series with UCLA needing a Split of the two-game set for the title and SC having to have a sweep for the crown.
Just like the climax of a good murder-mystery is never known until the last couple of pages, the finish to this basketball drama may not be known until the final seconds of play Saturday night. Sportswriters must admit now that they did a poor job of handicapping this PCC race last fall. As far as most were concerned, California’s Golden Bear basketeers couldn’t miss as repeaters for the gonfalon. This opinion was cut and dried with San Francisco Bay prognosticat-ors.
But, as they can see now, it just didn’t' happen that way. In fact, the scribes’ second choice for the crown, UCLA, might not even hit the winner’s circle. No wonder the sportswriters are making the Bruins such heavy favorites. If their first choice can’t come in, the second best is better than the third (SC).
Favorite’s Tag
But actually, the Bruins do rate the favorite’s tag. One bare fact is outstanding. Coach Johnny Wooden’s Blue and Gold has only to split the series for the title whereas Troy must take both frays. UCLA haS a 7-3 record as compared to SC’s 6-4.
That one-game lead is something the Trojans cannot overcome no matter how much they play over their heads or what amount of spirit and determination they are able to muster. Two wins for SC will overcome any
obstacle, though.
The second advantage in the Bruins’ favor is the site of the battles. UCLA is widely known for its ability to win in its home gym “oven.” The Bruins are said to not only outplay and out-score their opponents at Westwood but they “bake” them done at the same time. Sometimes they just do the latter which results in the former, it has been said by UCLA foes.
Troy’s Favor
One mention in SC’s favor might be that Troy rolled over the Bruins three times in four meetings last year. And the Trojans finished the season in a dash with a series sweep against UCLA. But remember that at that time no title was at stake and those final two games were at the Pan Pacific, not at Westwood. Last year SC split a series with UCLA with the Bruin Bakers as hosts.
And so the more aspects of this gigantic deciders that are brought to light, the more it falls to the west of the campus. But the fact remains that this is an SC-
