The exquisite toys brought $1 15,556 in a day; a bottle of Chateau Pichon-Longueville 1878 brought more than $5 a glass.

For a decade, U.C.L.A. has operated in the shadow of its smaller (18,-600 students to 27,500) cross-town rival, Southern California. When Prothro quit a secure job (63 victories, 37 defeats in ten years) as head coach at Oregon State and moved to U.C.L.A. last year, he inherited a team that had won only ten of its last 30 games. "Tommy did not come to U.C.L.A. to lose," commented a Los Angeles sportswriter, "but he'll learn...
