February 24th is the 100th anniversary of the University of Southern California's world famous nickname - Trojans. On February 24th, 1912, Los Angeles Times sports editor Owen W. Bird referred to the track team as "Trojans" because of the baseball team's fighting spirit against more well-equipped and more established teams.
