Description: Long before 13,000 UCLA basketball fans jammed Pauley Pavilion, first year Bruins coach had to deal with the Westwood Men’s Gymnasium aka Men’s Gym aka the B.O. Barn where he would be fortunate indeed if 500 fans showed up to watch his Bruins.  In fact, except for the USC rivalry games that season, many tickets simply had to be given away just to beef up home field advantage.  John Wooden recruited athletes to play basketball such as football player Ernie Johnson and high jumper George Stanich in order to guarantee that the Bruins would start winning in his first year.  Nevertheless, very few people could have prophesized future success for a college team with what was a mediocre turnout even for average high school basketball squads.  Still, the person who used this complimentary “ROOTER” ticket had the honor of watching Hall of Famer John Wooden lead his UCLA Bruins to a 56-50 over the Stanford Indians aka Cardinal.  This gorgeous vibrant purple good condition ticket stub is possibly the only one remaining from that historic basketball game.
