USC was competing against Stanford in a track & field meet. They were losing by a lot, and it was calculated to be impossible for them to win, but the Trojans fought hard and only lost by a small amount at the conclusion of the meet. Owen Bird, of the Los Angeles Times, stated that the USC athletes "fought on like Trojans." President Bovard approved this as the official name.
