Southern Cal Ballot Backlash Sparks Big Nine Tension
In a row of notes on college football lauding Notre Dame over Michigan, whispers say Southern Cal used its ballot to mock the Wolverines after the Rose Bowl defeat. The PCC faces a Pasadena spot issue next season if Michigan repeats, with the three-year rule looming large. The Middie Monroe game looms as Hornet fans stay oddly silent, hinting at a fresh tactic from Coach Wilfred Theis. A charity bowling match Sunday at Pla-Mar pits Carfax versus Burger Beer-Hut Insurance, with no admission but voluntary turnout. The piece also highlights oddities in local sports reporting and a preview from Fred Roberts on the Orange Bowl.
