Key to Bruin Fullback Post Lies in Success of Pete Daily’s Knee Surgery (Editor's note: This is the seventh and final story of a position-by-position analysis of the 1953 UCLA Football team. It concerns the Bruin fullbacks.) UCLA’s 1953 fullback position appears to hinge largely on a small lateral ligament in Pete Dalley’s knee. As Bruin fans know, North Hollywood’s Dalley is a two-year veteran who is rated a fine all-around back. He operates equally well on offense or defense. Pistol Pete saw limited action last year due to a knee injury which was operated on early last spring. This forced him to miss all contact work in the off-season drills but UCLA’s orthopedic specialist feels Dalley’s knee should give him little trouble this fall. If his knee holds up, Bruin backfield coach Tommy Prothro figures Dalley will be a good first-string fullback even though he weighs only 168 pounds. Protho feels that Dalley’s savvy and speed will offset his lack of size for the fullback duties in Red Sanders’ single wing attack. Hiss 1952 statistics show he carried the ball nine times for 28 net yards and was the team’s top scorer with 36 points, divided thusly: two touchdowns, 18 conversion points after TD’s and two field goals. He caught one pass for 33 yards and one of his scores, averaged 11.85 yards on seven punt returns and intercepted two passes for 36 yards. Dalley will be the only veteran at fullback as Bill Stiles, 185, of Lomita has been shifted to wing-back and the hard-running John (Cappy) Smith has graduated. Backing up Dalley will be three candidates who have never played a minute of college football. Off his showing in spring drills, Bob Davenport, 188, of Long Beach is rated a topnotch sophomore prospect. This former Long Beach Jordan High star didn’t compete as a fresh but indicated in the off-season practice that he’s a potentially powerful runner, especially up the middle. UCLA fans will hear a lot about Davenport in the future. Coach Local Junior Tennis In Southwest Tourney Five Anaheim tennis junior plan to represent the local club and recreation department tomorrow as play gets under way in the Twenty Seventh Annual Pacific South-West Tennis Championships at the Los Angeles Tennis Club. The tournament will attract a full complement of the world’s outstanding amateur players, including all of the Aristellan and United States Davis Cup teams, Tony Trabert and Maureen Connolly, newly crowned United States singles champions, representatives of the Japanese Davis Cup team, and almost without exception, every ranking tournament player in Southern California will be on hand. Local entrants are Rita Flynn Jean Williams, and Karen Lenain, all playing in the girls’ 15-year-old, and under division. Vincent Flynn and Don Kliess playing in the boys’ 13-and-under singles group. Miss Williams will also team with Joan Borchard holds a fifth ranking in the girls’ 18-and-under doubles. Miss Borchard holds a fifth ranking in Southern California in the girls’ 15-year-old singles class. Suicide Names Hornsby Lomita has been shifted to wing-back and the hard-running John (Cappy) Smith has graduated. Backing up Dalley will be three candidates who have never played a minute of college football. Off his showing in spring drills, Bob Davenport, 188, of Long Beach is rated a topnotch sophomore prospect. This former Long Beach Jordan High star didn't compete as a fresh but indicated in the off-season practice that he's a potentially powerful runner, especially up the middle. UCLA fans will hear a lot about Davenport in the future. Coach Sanders and Prothro hope he will be ready to furnish some help this fall. Another sophomore fullback with good potential is George Stephenson, 188, of San Diego. Like Davenport, he didn't play fresh football but showed determination and improvement this spring. He's a former second string All-CIF back from San Diego Hoover High in 1951. The third inexperienced candidate is Wille Collins, 191, of Compton, a transfer from LAC and Texas State University who has never played college football even though he will be a senior this year. He flashed drive and determination this spring. UCLA fullbacks will also handle defensive halfback chores with the return of one platoon football. The three newcomers have lots to learn about this important phase of the game.

PLYWOOD Suicide Names Hornsby Sole Heir $25,000 In Safety Deposit Box CHICAGO (UP) — Authorities said today that $25,000 in cash was found in a safe deposit box leased jointly by Cincinnati Redleg Manager Rogers Hornsby and a woman who leaped to her death from a hotel window here. The woman, Mrs. Bernadette Harris, also left a will in the strongbox which named the great right handed hitter as her sole heir. At an inquest into the divorcee's death yesterday Hornsby described her as his "good friend and personal secretary." She had used his name, identification papers showed. Hornsby said today he would remain in Chicago for a few days to straighten out personal problems and then rejoin his team. Mrs. Harris, 55, plunged from her third floor apartment in the Fleetwood Hotel Monday, and police found in her purse a note asking that in case of accident "notify Rogers Hornsby." The coroner's jury ruled that her death was a suicide committed while temporarily insane. Hornsby, who once played for the Chicago Cub and has lived here at warrious times, said Mrs. Harris "handled all my financial and personal affairs since I met her in 1945." P G L Standings W L Pct.

Season tickets went on Hal Thomas "It's a matter of civic pride"—How many times have you heard that old Cliche? So often, in fact, that it's just taken for granted that every city, town and hamlet must have written the phrase into its Corporate Seal. New York has it's "ticker tape" howlers for the tournament of Roses; Atlantic City, the parade of American beauties; Anaheim, a Halloween Parade, and so, on and on. The city dads are continually mocking themselves out and bursting with CIVIC PRIDE at their accomplishments in the fields of public relations, and promotion. Chambers of Commerce compete with each other for publicity stunts. Service club do back-flips to impress the local citizenry of help importance to the community. The politicians hand out "keys" to their cities. A Republican mayor will resort to shaking hands with a Democrat, if he happens to be a "visiting dignitary" (and if the photographers have their shut-ups cocked). So it goes the year round; forever a struggle to elevate the plane of the community in which we live. Now I do not wish to convey self-attitude toward such activities as they are pursued in Anaheim. I am merely leading up to my point, and it is one upon which I stand embarrassed, but I do not stand alone. Football season is now upon us, and again we look forward to the miserable prospect of watching this season's games being played at La Palma park. It makes little difference whether the team is having a good bed, or indifferent season, the adult population is conspicuous by its absence at La Palma games. I know personally, many avid fans who refuse to attend our high school games because they don't wish to be swallowed up by the youthful enthusiasm of the student body, or, they refuse to submit right to the few lousey seats available to them. It's just that the adult population also likes football, and their money is quite "green". Last year's game between Anaheim and Fullerton was scheduled as Anaheim's home game, but the seat demand was so great that the game HAD to be played (of all places) in Fullerton. The home team couldn't even enjoy the psychological advantage of playing a traditional foe, on its home field. So, Fullerton gets a big chunk of the gate receipts, and we have the "cheek" to call Fullerton, "North Anaheim." As much as I dislike admitting it, Fullerton has it all over us where their high school football team is concerned. Their business men get behind the team, and the success or failure of the "Indiana" is a sidewalk topic. I believe you COULD CALL IT CIVIC PRIDE. Who wouldn't enjoy following a team with a stadium like Fullerton's from which to view their games? A stadium built out of CIVIC PRIDE. Too Simple Maybe the answer is too simple. Could it be, that the City Council is too cooperative with the AUHS trustees, in turning over City owned facilities for school use? WHY DO THE CIVIC-MINDED CITIZENS OF ANAHEIM ADOPT SUCH APATHY? Many, many moons ago, the taxpayers in the AUHS district were assessed a school tax increase of twenty-five cents per $10.00; to create a fund for improving high school facilities, and I dare state, a tidy sum has been paid into said fund ere this. Collar school officials regarding a stadium and what a run...around you'll get, about how they are spending the money for MORE IMPORTANT needs. Just as long as public opinion falls to bring pressure upon them, then just that long, will those responsible, "goof" on their civic duty, to match their athletic program with the growth of our city. Until they do so, I wonder if they are keeping faith with the citizens of this community. Lynx Lose First Tilt in Toronto The Buena Park Lynx lost their opening game of the American world tournament at the Canadian National Exhibition, in Toronto. The Lynx succumbed to Fresno, 3 to 0, as the latter's Jean Contel slugged a home with two on in the eighth. It was a tough draw in the pairings when the "Parkers" drew the tourney favorite in the first round, however, two defeats are required for elimination. The Orange Lionettes won their first two games of the meet, defeating Des Moines, 7 to 0, and Ft. Worth, 13 to 0. Nineteen crack teams are entered in the International affair.

While the turnout is somewhat under previous years, the squad opped most other conference schools. Ward is counting heavily on a talented group of freshmen to bolster holes left by graduation and back up the nine or ten returning lettermen. Key man in the Don T-formation and single wing attack is expected to be tailback Harley (Wick) Lobo, captain and tailback for the Missouri University Frosh last season, standout in Missouri spring practice for the varsity, and better known locally for his triple-threat play at Capistrano High, where he lettered in football, basketball and baseball for three years. A leading center contender is Gene Geselle, 197-pound all-CIF center in 1951 for Anaheim. Ward's search for tackles may switch Co-Captains Eddie Liptrap and Jack Moynihan to those spots, while some of the 17 men seeking end jobs may be shifted to tackle. Showing up well as passers are Lobo, letterman Jack Elder of Garden Grove and Aaron Peralta, second All-Sunset halfback of Anaheim, Al Turner and Ron Adel. Al-Orange League backs from Laguna, Anaheim's Jim Roberts, All-Sunset League Fullback, and John Linquist, second All-Sunset fullback from Orange, are others of the many backfield prospects. In addition to Liptrap and Moynihan, returning veterans among the first to report included Ends John Duchart, Dan Berg and John Garcia; Quarterback Bob Switzer; Jack Elder, halfback and Ell Peralta, fullback.

Oregons Gasanova in Rebuilding Program; Has 24 Lettermen Back (Note to editors: This is the first in a series of articles dealing with the 1953 prospects of West Coast college football teams.) EUGENE, Ore. (UP)—Quarterback George Shaw, one-platoon football and the third year of a rebuilding program under Coach Len Casanova had Oregon pigskin followers more hopeful today than they've been since 1948. Casanova has 24 returning lettermen, some of whom already have played both offense and defense because of manpower shortages. There are also a dozen sprinkling of transfers. And there's Shaw. The six-foot, one-inch, 178-pound junior is the key man in any Oregon hopes for a football renascence. He has played both ways for two years and does everything well. As a freshman in 1951 he intercepted 13 passes, an NCAA record. As a sophomore last year, he completed 2e passes against California for a PC mark. Hard Runner Shaw, though not a speed demon is a hard, tricky runner. He's the best receiver on the team. And he can fit in at halfback. Right behind him at quarterback is Barney Holland, a fine field general and a sharp passer. Oregon has no problems in this position. On the other hand, loss of two guards to the Army has hurt and the Ducks need pass receiving ends. But the nucleus of a stout line is there and 10 letterman are returning in the backfield. End Emory Barnes, Guard Jack Patera and Tackle Kal Reeve are expected to be the top men up front. Barnes, who has high-jumped six feet, eight inches, might be the answer to the pass receiving headache. Son of Former Coach One of the tackle candidates is Lon Stiner, Jr., son of the one-time Oregon State football coach. Sophomore Dick James and transfer Walt Gaffney are expected to give the lettermen a run for their money for starting left and right halfback spots. Left half Ted Anderson, right half Farrell, Albright and fullbacks Cece Hodges and Dean Van Leuven are due for heavy service. Casanova believes his team will be stronger—and our opponen ve are due for heavy service. Casanova believes his team will be stronger—and our opponents will know they've been in a battle." Oregon, since winning nine and losing two in 1948 when it went to the Cotton Bowl, has won only nine while losing $90 in four years. Rose Bowl Pact Renewal Signing Assured Today SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Representatives of the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast Conference meet today to renew their Rose Bowl pact.
