Coach 'Pappy' Waldorf No Gad-About; Last Nineteen Years at Two Colleges SAN FRANCISCO — When gray haired, 51-year-old Lynn Pappy Waldorf lumbered out onto the field Sept. 19 with his California Golden Bear against the Baylor Bears, it will mark the start of his 27th season in the coaching ranks. It also makes him the third oldest active collegiate coach in point of service Lou Little of Columbia is No. 1, unless Amos Alonzo Stagg decides to come out of retirement). Seventh Year at Cal As coaches go, Waldorf is not exactly what could be called a "gad-about." He was at Northwestern for 12 years; and this is his seventh campaign as the head man at California. A fine orator and master of the double-talk, Waldorf has gained much of his fame as a "football organizer." He is noted for the quality of the assistants he hires, his current top alides being Wes Pry and Herm Meister, both acknowledged masters in their professions. As the season starts, Waldorf has one of the great all-time records in the major coaching ranks. During his lifetime, his teams have won 156 games, lost 71 and tied 19. "Has Built A Giant" But his great success has been scored at California, where he has taken the Bears to the Rose Bowl three times in six years; and where he has an over all record of 53 wins nine defeats and one tie. He came to California, he said, because it offered "great opportunity" and it represented a "slumbering giant." This year his Golden Bears aren't expected to finish better than third in the Pacific Coast Conference race. But when Pappy finishes his 1953 organizational chore it wouldn't be considered too great an upset if the Bears again were back in the Rose Bowl—the only place where Waldorf and his Strawberry Canyon boys haven't had much success.

Today, the tailbacks; coming up, the wingbacks). UCLA’s hopes for a successful football season depend largely on a well-publicized halfback by the name of Paul Leslie Cameron, 190, of Burbank. Bruin coach Red Sanders wouldn’t trade him for any other back in the country. “When physically ready, he’s the best tailback in the United States,” Sanders says. Off his inspirational play the past two seasons, Cameron is a student two seasons, Cameron is a standout All-America candidate at this key backfield post in Sanders’ single wing attack. He’s slated to do most of the running, passing, punting and signal calling for the Bruins and also hold down safety on defense. With only two other tailbacks on the roster besides Cameron, this position is actually thin, according to Bruin backfield mentor Tom Prothro. However, UCLA is hopeful that Peerless Paul escapes the injuries which plagued him last year when he played only 107 minutes and never anywhere near 100 per cent physical efficiency. In 1951, Cameron was the most sensational sophomore back in UCLA history as he led the PCC and he says, “Little Mo” prepares good right now at 18 Moody was at the same e. Harry Hopman, coach Australian Davis Cup team sides with the prior right Moody. He pegs her crew return of service as the first women’s tennis ever has. Lord Charles Hope, a Lenglen defeated Mrs. Cannes, shrugs off both and pegs Miss Marble after esting the women's division. But this provokes a debate on his circles. Miss Marble, according fillbuster, was a sensation but did not have the strokes which made Mrs. game so brilliant. “Little not, of course, a net play. But, as her frequent vole tell you, playing against her hitting the ball up against She can wallop the ball all day and can hit it the far baseline. On top she has enough courage lion tamer. And anybody knows that aren’t any lions among today, which certainly m the best now—regardless fore. Hal Thomas (Ed's note—This is the second of an "unlimited" series of articles on Hollywood Star Manager Robert P. (for psychic) Bragan, the little guy who finishes "first" without the horses.) The Hollywood Stars clinched a tie for the 1953 Pacific Coast League pennant in the first game of yesterday's double bill, taking San Francisco, by a score of 4 to 2. The Seals bats again made merry with "Junior" Walsh's slants, to take the nightcap, 5 to 1, denying the stars the one they needed to wrap-up the race. The magic number is now ONE. Any single victory for Hollywood, or one loss for Seattle, brings the Stars "home free" for '53. Bobby Bragan, for the "umpy-ninth" time this season, demonstrated his skill in making the "quick change" in pitchers. Mel Queen started the first game, and after two were out in the first, Mel's control went sour, and he walked the next two batters. Two Seal hits in a row drove in two runs and "King" Bobby sent his "Queen" for a slow stroll. Enter "Red" Lynn, Here..... "Red" Lynn shuffled in, and pitched to one batter to end the inning. Hollywood tied it up in their half of the first, and for the next five frames, it was a Lynn vs Singleton pitching duel. For six and two-thirds innings, the red-head scattered six. Seal blugles and allowed nary a run. If the Stars were going to win this one, it was obvious that Lynn had to pitch shutout ball the rest of the way. Rapid Robert Rides Again Hollywood picked up two more runs in the seventh, and Red looked like a "shoo-in", with the score at 4-2. The first Seal up in the eighth went down easy. Righetti stood in, and Lynn let him have the next pitch on the elbow. So, with one on and one out, your reporter nor no one else in the park was worried about the pitching situation, EXCEPT "Rapid Robert" Bragan. The little "bossman" didn't let Lynn take time enough to wipe Righetti's blood off the ball before he had "Malxy" waltzing in from purgatory to take over the hill. At this juncture, it must be pointed out, that Lynn has been the master of the situation for six and two-thirds innings, and has shown on signs of weakening, but once again, the Star's skipper exhibited excellent timing, and a basic reason for the team's success this With only two other tailbacks on the roster besides Cameron, this position is actually thin, according to Bruin backfield mentor Tom Prothro. However, UCLA is hopeful that Peerless Paul escapes the injuries which plagued him last year when he played only 107 minutes and never anywhere near 100 per cent physical efficiency. In 1951, Cameron was the most sensational sophomore back in UCLA history as he led the POC and set a new school total offense record of 1482 yards (885 yards) by passing and 597 by running). As a matter of record, he established two new POC and five UCLA records that season. Slowed dowy ankle and shoulder injuries last year, Cameron still posted 707 total yards and sparked every lengthy offensive drive engineered by UCLA against major opponents. He was cagly inserted by coach Sanders as a spot performer in five out of the Bruin's nine games. On the basis of total minutes played in two seasons (273) and total yardage gained (2189), Cameron has personally accounted for eight yards for every minute of action. Although he hasn't played any defense since high school, Cameron indicated in spring practice that he'll be a threat at safety. Surprise Package Taking over the departed Teddy Narleski's job as the No. 2 Bruin tailback will be Primo (Da Preem) Villanueva, 160, of Calexico. As a sophomore last year, he showed only flashes of ability, mostly as a passer, but made rapid strides during spring practice and may be the Bruins' "surprise package of '53." Last season statistics show he carried the ball 43 times for a net of 117 yards and one touchdown and completed 12 out of 23 passes for 188 yards and one TD. He was passing better and running harder and with more deception this spring than ever before and really impressed the railbirds. The only other tailback candidate is Jack Dalley, 165, of Tustin, the first sting left half on the frost last year. Although showing promise, he appears to be a year away and probably will see only limited action this season. Due to the thinness at this position, Milt Davis, 175, of Los Angeles, a regular 1952 defensive halfback who has been moved to end, may see some service at safety in an effort to rest the tailbacks. FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (UP)—As little Maureen Connelly went out today in search of her third U.S. tennis title and second straight Wimbledon-U. S. grand slam, the general consensus of the tennis experts was that she still rated no better than a possible third among all-time women greats of the net. "Little Mo" may be slaughtering the current crop of women stars, as proved in her deft 6-1, 6-1 disposal of Shirley Fry in yesterday's National Amateur semifinals, but as of the moment she still hasn't convinced all the critics. Most of the long-time tennis observers will tell you that "Little Mo" couldn't carry the battered racquet belonging to Helen Wills Moody. You also can find voluble supporters for the ill-fated Suzanne Lenglen. The best they'll give "Little Mo" is an argumentive change that she might be the third best of all time—but it is practically a dead heat against Alice Marble. The British brigade is almost solidly against "Little Mo" as the all-time tops—as of the moment. Col. Duncan Macaulay, who runs the show at Wimbledon, emphatically places Lenglen at the top although, he believes that Mrs. Moody might have taken the measure of the French star in later years. But he emphatically believes that poker-faced Helen would, at her best, have beaten Miss Connelly. The Colonel is not a stubborn man, however, and he admits that time may make a difference For, JUVENILE "C" LEAGUE league winners, is show start, and lost their f trophies were awarded at department Lewkine, Jim Osborne, Wallace, Sidney Sowde... Hot Rod Averages 255 mph in Salt Flats Speed Runs BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah (UP)—The nation's top hot rod honor, the Hot Rod Magazine National Championship Trophy, went to Bill Kenz of Denver following a final record run of the Bonneville national speed trials today. Another trophy, the coveted Maremont Trophy for engineering achievement, was awarded a streamlined hot rod built by six young Los Angeles men. Kentz won the Hot Rod Magazine trophy for the third successive year when driver Willie Young, also of Denver, wheeled the twin Ford engined baby blue aluminum streamliner over the measured mile for a two-way average of 255.411 mph. His last year's average was 244.66. The sleek, blue streamliner which won the Maremont trophy was driven by Mal Hooper, of Glendale, Calif. It received the 39-inch gold trophy from Kathleen Hughes, Universal - International actress, who was the "Maremont Award Queen." $1000 university scholarship was included in the award.

Harry Hopman, coach of the Australian Davis Cup team; also sides with the prior rights of Mrs. Moody. He pegs her cross court return of service as the finest shot women's tennis ever has seen. Lord Charles Hope, a linesman Lenglen defeated Mrs. Moody at Cannes, shrugs off both of them and pegs Miss Marble, as the finest the women's division has had. But this provokes a debate in tennis circles. Miss Marble, according to the filibuster, was a sensational volleyer but did not have the ground strokes which made Mrs. Moody's game so brilliant. "Little Mo" is not, of course, a net player. But, as her frequent victims will tell you, playing against her is like hitting the ball up against a wall. She can wallop the ball, can run all day and can hit a dime on the far baseline. On top of that, she has enough courage to be a lion tamer. And anybody knows that there aren't any lions among her rivals today, which certainly makes her the best now—regardless of before. Sports Car Races Draw Big Crowds SANTA BARBARA (UP)—Phil Hill of Santa Monica roared his 2.9 litre Ferrari across the finish line first yesterday in the 30-lap main event at the California Sports Car Club races. Some 15,000 spectators at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport saw Hill get the checkered flag after coming from behind on he 2.2 mile course in the second and final day of racing. It wasn't until the final stages of the race that Hill overtook Bill Stropp of Los Angeles for the lead and vicory. Stropp had held the lead most of the way in his Kurtis Merc special, but gave way to Hill when his car developed triuble. Finishing behind Stropp for third place was Bill Pollock in his Maneco Glassbar. SAN MATEO, Calif., (UP).
