COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : ROSE BOWL : Or Perhaps He’d Like a Southern Cal T-Shirt
USC’s sports information staff has been urging the media to refer to the university as USC, or Southern California, but not Southern Cal, as is common in the East and Midwest.
Perhaps a better place to have started the campaign would have been USC’s own bookstore. A recent two-minute inspection there turned up six officially licensed items of USC garb with the school identified as Southern Cal.

Chad Morton won’t play on Jan. 1 because he’s sitting out his freshman year, but USC’s smallest and fastest player is putting the Trojans’ 16 extra Rose Bowl practices to good use.
A likely starter next season, he’s the younger brother of Johnnie Morton, former USC All-American receiver now with the Detroit Lions.
