Police to beef up security at USC-UCLA rivalry game BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PASADENA, Calif. Los Angeles County probation officers will for the first time patrol Saturday’s football game between UCLA and Southern California as part of an effort to deter fan violence. A probation department spokeswoman said Friday that the officers are joining in an effort to beef up security at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Carol Lin said they will be on the lookout for potential
offenders. A fight among dozens of fans before the Southern California-UCLA game two years ago left two men with stab wounds and two officers injured. Pasadena police said officers will patrol the stadium to enforce a set of commonsense rules for fans to follow. The rules were recently formed by a task force comprised of sports teams and major venues concerned about aggressive fan behavior.

LOS ANGELES Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s skyhook has been captured in bronze for future generations of basketball fans. Staples Center unveiled a nearly 16-foottall statue of the top scorer in NBA history Friday night, immortalizing Jabbar’s famed hook shot alongside statues of fellow Los Angeles Lakers greats Magic Johnson and Jerry West. Abdul-Jabbar pronounced himself hum-
bled and grateful during a ceremony attended by numerous NBA greats ranging from Johnson and Pat Riley to West and Elgin Baylor — and even Lakers superfan Jack Nicholson. Abdul-Jabbar is depicted in his signature goggles and the standard 1980s short-shorts below his No. 33 jersey. Hundreds of cheering fans gathered under threatening rainclouds to honor Abdul-Jabbar, who says he’s grateful everyone could enjoy the statue before the pigeons get to it.
