10 — ANAHEIM (Cal.) BULLETIN Monday, September 14, 1952 Colonists’ Line Slots Wide Open; Lettermen ‘Sweating Out’ Rookies By HAL THOMAS (Editor’s note—This is the second of a series of position by position analysis of AUHS candidates for the varsity) On Saturday, we discussed the ends. Today, we will look over the balance of the line. At the left tackle spot, Art Contreras appears to be number one, after the first week’s work. Art may have come along faster than his challengers but he will have to continue to hump to hold off Frank Doretti. Frank’s size makes him a coaches dream if he can learn to make his move a split-second ahead of the guy across from him. The big boy should be twins. Coach Wallin would like to see him at the center spot, along with Ronnie Brown, providing Frank comes up with the old “moxie.” It will be interesting to see just which boys lets Doretti sneak in on him. Leonard Mang is a returning letterman with an eye on this spot and it may be that Leonard has something more tangible to offer than he has so far shown. Bob Lambeth has a finger on the right tackle slot, but it is by no means, a strangle-hold. There are three other boys with ideas on the subject, and either one could boost your reporter had a talk with Coach Van Hoorebeke after Saturday’s scrimmage between the “Whites” and “Blues”, and let me tell you, my good readers, “Sad-Eyed” Joe would have looked like “Laughing Boy”, compared to Van's woe-be-gone "pan." One just doesn’t take much of Van's time in an interview. Here 'tis: Q. How do you evaluate this afternoon's work, Coach. A. What work? Q. Well, how did the boys handle their assignments. A. I didn't see anybody handle his environment. Nie Brown is sitting lightly on the post at center. Ron's experience gives him the jump on a couple of pretty fair boys, but he doesn't have the job nailed down. This column's advice to Mr. Brown—"don't let that varsity letter get in your eyes". We've mentioned above, the possible threat of Frank Doretti at center, Wallin is keeping an eagle-eye on Frank, and if the boy shows aptitude and learns how to protect his zone, the result could be, one less candidate for the left tackle spot. Considering that Doretti may wind up at a tackle post, Ron Brown is still not out of the woods. Bob Loustau, off of last year's Bees looks like a rugged customer. If Bob decides not to concede the spot to Brown, he could find himself "assuming the angle" when the season opens. The left guard position is temporarily under Tom Berg's wing. Tom was a great little linebacker last year, lettering in the process, and he could hold off all comers. Berg isn't going to get the post without a battle, however, what with LeRoy Heitman, a two-year JV letterman, showing a little more spark than he has to date. Heitman is the "steady-plugger" type, and is going to have to get fired up and stay that way. urday's scrimmage between the "Whites" and "Blues", and let me tell you, my good readers, "Sad-Eyed" Joe would have looked like "Laughing Boy", compared to Van's woe-be-gone "pan."

At this point, your Bulletin boy tiptoed away, quietly wringing out his handerchief. Lambeth out if he stops to look around. Dick Hathcockff has shown great improvement over his work with last year's Bees, and he could hardly be stopped, if he continues his present rate of progress. Bill Van Klaveran could spring the surprise of the season. He is totally green, however, his body movements and coordination show a fine natural ability. Bill will have to work twice as hard as the two aforementioned boys, but he could do it. He is coming closer each session. Chuck Swenson is another rookie out for right tackle. Chuck was green as grass and out of shape when he reported, but this willingness and present rate of improvement is certain to make somebody hump. He has a long way to go, but it's a short trip if he wants to get there.

Heltman is the "steady-plugger" type, and is going to have to get fired up and stay that way. Still another boy going for Berg's guard-post, is Jerry Jennings, also up from the Bees. Jennings is pretty light but not too light if he wants to call in fight and guts to offset his size. This writer has seen many 160-pound linemen set 200-pounders on their seats. This column would like to see the boy sharpen his claws and win a starting berth. Anyone wanting a crack at the right guard spot, is going to require some form of jet-propulsion. This is not to say that Mike Troop has it all wrapped up. If Mike shows the slighest inclination toward "goofing", John Wallin will have him out of there so fast that the red-head will melt his cleats. Ron Miller could come through for the position if he could make his feet track. He has all the qualifications, except speed. He could "learn" to run, with practice. A word of advice to Ron—go to your track coach and ask him to per-scribe a series of speed-building sprints and you will be amazed at the results, if you'll work. That's all for today. Tomorrow, the backs. Sutter's Fourth Try Licks Catalina Channel SAN PEDRO (UP)—Thirty-nine-year-old Roy Sutter won his battle with the Catalina channel on his fourth try. Sutter crawled ashore yesterday after stroking off the 22-mile distance in 16 hours and 38 minutes. He entered the water at Emerald bay on Catalina island at 10:58 p.m. Saturday night. When he was seven miles from his destination, he encountered strong cross-currents and was advised to give up, but kept stroking. He also was hampered by seasickness. The North Hollywood aircraft worker's previous attempt was made during the Labor Day weekend. He wa forced to give up after two and a half hours. Florence Chadwick holds the record for the swim—13 hours and 47 minutes.

Ponce is the knuckle ball style who was dredged up by the Francisco Seals late last month after he had taken a record shellackings with last place V-tura of the Class C Californiac Legue. Yesterday, Ponce won his sixth and eighth straight games the Seals by pitching them double header triumph over Angeles. Tony won the opener 4-2 and finale 1-0.

The record she had 13 wins and 14 lost, with an average of 2.73. This season, Porterfield has been among the elite both in performance and in the weekly average write Taylor Spink in The Sporting News. He is being mentioned as a candidate for the Most Valuable Player award and is considered a nespecially sharp thorn on the side of Casey Stengel, who on June 15, 1951, traded him to the Senators for Bob Kuzava. "The secret of my success season?" Porterfield repeats Spink's question and laughed. "Let me say that I have very anxious to do something," Bucky Harris said. "I had to pitch for him because I cost him job as manager of the Yankees." In 1948, I was pitching for work in the International League. I had a record of 15 wins and lost, with a earned run average of 2.17 and 133 strikeouts in innings. "I was all set to finish out year with the Bears," continued Porterfield. "but had some no that I would be invited to play with the Yankees in 1949." Well, you may recollect that 1948 Yankees had some pitch trouble.

Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP) — The Metropolitan Opera doesn't open until mid-November so this is just to tip off the tonsil terpsichoreans that if they are planning to revive the tragedy 'Carmen' the boxing industry is beating them to the punch. There will be slight variations, of course, in the puglistic performance. In the opera version, Carmen is a faithless gal who works in a tobacco factory and gets struck down with a stiletto by a gent named Jose. Boxing's presentaton concerns a Carmen who once worked on an onion farm but will be struck down with leather mittens by a gent named Gerardo. Will Play 'Carmen' The cast in the mitt mob classic will be composed of Carmen Basilio (as Carmen) and Gerardo Gonzalez, better known as Kid Gavilan, in the role of Jose. Maybe our Carmen isn't as pretty as some of the dolls who have played the part in the past, although from the looks of some of those divas (no reflection, fellahs) it's six, two and even that he'd rate no worse than third choice. The presentation will take place at Syracuse on Friday night and the Diamond Horseshow, in this case the ringside, will be filled with a bunch of the boys from Stillman's Gym. Evening dress is not required as long as you wear a shirt. But, essentially the plot is the same. One of the principal differences is that there should be more action in the box fighting version, al- Opening Soon Orange County's Newest 12 ABC LANES FREEWAY BOWL Next to South Seas Club Openings for Teams, Leagues, Individuals Phone LAmbert 59112 In "Fifth-wheel" test Kaiser gives re Milbrat Phone 5341 Day and Wednesday KKS lb. 58¢ ACON 2 Lbs. 109 LICES lb. 97¢ EF 3 Lbs. 79¢ “Motor Trend” offers new proof of Kaiser’s economy Tested by “Motor Trend’s” own fifth-wheel mileage meter, the Kaiser with Dual-Range Hydra-Matic has just gone 28.8 migallon of regular gasoline at 30 miles an hour!

Harry Anderson, administrative deputy for the department, announced today that total revenues for the fiscal year just closed amounted to $6,282,445 while actual expenditures totaled $6,589,227. The difference of $260,648 came from the Fish GAME Preservation Fund surplus built up in prior years. During the 1951-52 fiscal year, this surplus was drawn on for the first time to the extent of $356,124. The $280,648 deficit of the 1952-53 fiscal year leaves a balance in the Fish Game Preservation Fund of approximately $5,524,206. Originally budgeted to be spent during the past fiscal year was $7,348,218, based on plans for serving increasing numbers of sportsmen and to meet increasing problems of conservation imposed by the pressures of expanding civilization in the state. Actual expenditures were kept to $6,589,277, despite the expanding program of the Department. An accelerated increase in the number of hunting and fishing licenses sold during the year resulted in $293,303 more revenue than estimated at the beginning of the year. Black Bright Spot in "Bum's" Series Strategy CHICAGO (UP) — Brooklyn's chances to crack the American League monopoly on the World Series were brighter today. Manager Charlie Dressen believed, because relief pitcher Joe Black apparently has come back. Black started against the Chicago Cubs yesterday, the Dodgers' first game since clinching the pennant, and gave up only two hits before he was removed for a pinch-hitter after six innings. "He had good stuff," Dressen said, "and good control. He was putting the ball where he wanted it, and control was his trouble this year." "There wasn't any reason he couldn't have gone nine innings," Dressen added. "I'm going to work him two innings today, rest him for a day and then put him in the bullpen, keep him working and keep him in shape." "He did pretty well in the series against the Yanks last year," Dressen said. "but this year he hasn't done so well. He could be a big help to us." Lionettes Lose At Toronto Meet The Orange Lionettes lost to Fresno in the final game, Saturday night, at Toronto, 2 to 0. The Lionettes defeated the new champions in the first game of the double elimination tournament, 1 to 0; however, having lost one previous game, the Fresno victory cost the Orange lassies their attempt at a fourth world’s title. The Buena Park Lynx lost their first two games, and were eliminated early in the tournament.
