Hal Thomas One-Shot Colonists Training for Track The old axiom that "every play is a touchdown play" almost became unconvertible fact Friday night, when the Colonists smashed over, under, around, and through Citrus for tremendous, long-gaining thrusts. Ten times out of a total of 30 rushing plays, brought gains of 12 or more yards per carry, and one pass completion was good for 48 yards. Mickey Gouyd packed four of the big gainers for 42, 15, 48 and 14 yards. Dean Philpot did it five times, for 44, 68, 20, 12 and 24 yards, with Don Leigh packing the tenth one for 14 yards. Paul Grover completed but one pass and it was good for 49 yards with Jack Crosson on the receiving end going over for Anaheim's first TD of the game. Gouyd's 48 yard scoot went all the way, and Philpot's 68-yard hit pay dirt. Dean's 44-yard dash in the first quarter SHOULD have gone ten yards, further for another six points, but the hard-driving fullback momentarily lost his football instinct, and stopped to shake off a tackler that wasn't there—(one arrived before Dean could get out of compound-low), which, incidentally, arouses my curiosity—In the third quarter, the Colonist ace got some fine blocking on the right side of the line and went barreling through the Citrus secondary into an openfield for the 68-yard TD. HOW-EVER, as Dean reached the Cougar 25, he almost did a repeat performance and went into a serpentine pattern as if he were dodging mythical defenders. No Grandee The fact that the whis-kid were all the way would suffice for most of the people on hand but to my old pair of glimmers it looked like Dean was doing a bit of grandstanding. The thing that confounds this opinion is, the big boy is not now, and never has been a grandee, therefore, it is to be hoped that such tactics can and will be eliminated from Philpot's repertoire in the future. (The straight line is still the shortest distance between two points, including, between the ears) once in one night is quite enough Dean. If Friday night didn't convince the Anaheimers, that sound blocking can spring the ball-packers, nothing ever will. Not more than fifty percent of the Friday night blocks were put on right, but the ones that laid the opposition low were the ones that set up or effected the touchdowns. I wonder if the boys will quit horsing around now and settle down this week to the all-important business of learning how to use those shoulders and keeping their feet on the ground at the same time. Far Too Great There are two points-of-view to be taken from the Citrus game—one, that the Cougars were a soft-touch, or two, Citrus was good but Anaheim was better. My inventory shows the Cougars were in many ways a better team than our Colonists, and here's how: Both teams made 10 first downs—Citrus made eight on the ground and two by air; ours were all from rushing which somewhat indicates the Cougar varied attack. The visitors ran off 46 rushing plays to the locals 30 and that spread is FAR too great. Fortunately, the many Colonists break-aways were paying off with touchdowns but such may not or will not recur again this football year. Ball possession is the greatest of all defensive strategy and ordinarily the team that wins is the team that sustains its drives. Those one-shot TDs are scarce articles in any league but the team with excellent blockers SPO HAL THOM Citrus Football Player Uninjured Johnny Rosales, Citrus center, injured in the fourth quarter of Friday night's game, has fully recovered from his brush with Dear Philipott and is back with his team. On Saturday, Coach Van Hoore beke telephoned Citrus Coach Jim Henderson, to inquire about Rosales' condition. Van was told that Johnny underwent X-ray immediately following the game and was pronounced halftime. The young footballer was back on the practice field today. Gene Littler Dominates In California Amateur PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (UP)—Gene Littler, 23-year-old nationals amateur off champion, pulled 5-4 win out of his hat yesterday to become the 1953 California Amateur champion. Littler, shooting near perfect golf, defeated Dr. F. M. Taylor a Pomona dentist, in a schedule 36-hole final match. The San Diego sailor shot six birdies in seven holes at one point during yesterday's match. There are two points-of-view to be taken from the Citrus game—one that the Cougars were a soft-touch, or two, Citrus was good but Anaheim was better. My inventory shows the Cougars were in many ways a better team than our Colonists, and here's how: Both teams made 10 first downs—Citrus made eight on the ground and two by alit; ours were all from rushing which somewhat indicates the Cougar varied attack. The visitors ran off 46 rushing plays to the locals 30 and that spread is PAR too great. Fortunately, the many Colonists break-aways were paying off with touchdowns but such may not or will not recur again this football year. Ball possession is the greatest of all defensive strategy and ordinarily the team that wins is the team that sustains its drives. Those one-shot TDs are scarce articles in any league but the team with excellent blockers can expect more than their share. It was excellent blocking on these shots that paid off for the locals. Mental Lapse As for Anaheim's pass defense, (or lack of it) this corner prays for no more mental lapses such as occurred on the two Cougar TDs. Had the Citrus quarterback realized it earlier he might have shoved TD passes on the down-and-out all night. It seemed to me that our defensive backs were mesmerized with the McConnell trickery and were trying to follow the ball instead of covering any man that entered their zone. There isn't a bask on the Colonist team that doesn't know better than to let a man get behind him, especially in a fourth down and four situation on your 14 yard line. Shame on Henry. Congratulations Colonists, on your victory. You won it deservedly. If you can win with all of Friday's mistakes then look out Sunset league if our guys decide to concentrate on the fundamentals of football.

UCLA, still one of the few defeated teams in the west, gave a rugged test from Big Ten Wisconsin, a club that last peared in the Los Angeles area New Year's Day and lost the Bowl to USC. California, smarting from a of intersectional defeats, will to recoup against Pennsylvania Philadelphia. The junior member of the conference, Idaho, takes Brightham Young of the mountain states. Better Days Off their performances over week-end, the picture bright for the PCC. California lost to State, 19-33, but looked so powerful on the offensive side that Golden Bears must be picked whip the Quakers, a 13-7 win over Penn State. UCLA had trouble getting by good Oregon club, 12-0, but rebound against the Badgers. In a 20-12 victor over Montana, he be the underdog against Brigham Young. There will be plenty of action inside the conference, too. So Indiana, 27-14, Friday night, to Washington in search of second win. The Huskies show some new life in whipping O'Reilly State, 28-0. Surprising Indians Oregon State, which has scored a touchdown all season plays host to the surprising Ford team at Portland.

Junior College Football Teams Play to Form LOS ANGELES (UP)-Pasadena, by virtue of a stunning 52-0 weekend win over East Los Angeles, today made an early bid for top rating in this season's Southern California Junior College football circuits. Steve O'Neill Felt Sorry for Gopher Pitcher BY MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK (UP)—There was no joy in Flatbush, nor in Steve O'Neill's heart today, over the tremendous grand slam homer Mickey Mantle hit off luckless Football Teams Play to Form LOS ANGELES (UP)-Pasadena, by virtue of a stunning 52-0 weekend win over East Los Angeles, today made an early bid for top rating in this season's Southern California Junior College football circuits. Pasadena's crushing win over East Los Angeles added a strong note to its 19-6 triumph over San Diego last week and put Coach Ed Nyden's boys in the same class with Bakersfield, El Camino and Orange Coast. Bakersfield, which routed Glendale and Stockton in earlier tilt, edged by Fresno, 16-14, this weekend to keep a clean slate. Undefeated Orange Coast ND El Camino also stayed in the running for top spot. El Camino shaded Muir 20-19, while Orange Coast trounced San Mateo 13-6. Two teams which had shown early-season strength were upset this weekend. Taft spilled Chafey, 20-0, in the top upset of the week, while underdog Glendale rose to beat Fortleron, 25-19. In other weekend games Long Beach edged Santa Ana 14-12, San Bernardino walloped Harbor 38-12, Hartinell smothered Riverside 38-20, Compton beat the Cameron Aggies of Okla., 19-6, Mt. San Antonio dropped Ventura 34-0, San Diego downed Phoenix 18-6, Antelope Valley defeated Porterville 14-0 and Palo Verde and Snow, Utah tied at 7-7. In the small college ranks, mighty Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo bolstered its highly-respected reputation by dumping San Diego State, 33-12, San Diego had beaten Hawaii, 40-7, in last week's round of games. Cal Poly also boasts a 27-6 win over Fresno State. Redlands, another tough customer in the small college circuits, scored a 334-13 win over Los Angeles State to add to its crushing 27-6 victory of last week over Cal Tech. In other small college clashes Felt Sorry for Gopher Pitcher By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK (UP)—There was no joy in Flatbush, nor in Steve O'Neill's heart today, over the tremendous grand slam homer Mickey Mantle hit off luckless Russ Meyer. More than anyone else, O'Neill had a right to gloat over Meyer's misfortune, but he refused to do so. "Thank you, Mr. O'Neill!" Meyer had wise-cracked after each victory he pitched for Brooklyn this season. And "thank you, Mr. O'Neill!" were Meyer's first words after the Dodgers had clinched the pennant. In "thanking" O'Neill, manager of the Phillies, Meyer was rubbing it into his former boss for trading him last winter. O'Neill got wind of those left handed thanks and he could have replied, "You're welcome, Mr. Meyer," after Manile's wallop yesterday, but he didn't. "Russ must feel badly enough about that homer," declared O'Neill, "without my saying something to make him feel worse." "I was sitting in the stands when Mantle hit that homer off him and you can believe me or not, but I really felt badly for Meyer." "Sure, I know he used to say 'thank you, Mr. O'Neill' every time he won a ball game for Brooklyn this year but I'd rather let bygones be bygones. I'm sure that homer hurt him a lot more than those remarks he made hurt me. Occidental trimmed Santa Barbara 6-0, San Francisco State walloped Cal Tech 52-0, Whittier beat Arizona State 13-7, Pomona-Claremont blanked La Verne 20-0, and Oceanside beat Cal Poly of San Dimas, 13-0. If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP) — The new "Pepper" Martin went out for what may be the last game of the world series today needing three hits for an all-time record but "hoping just that we win this thing." The "new" Pepper is skinny, slashing Billy Martin, a brash and cocky kid from California who always has regarded himself as one of the game's fittest batsmen. It's an opinion he he'd all by himself—until the past five days. Because Billy, who weighs only 160 pounds with his cleats full of mud, may rewrite the World Series hitting records today. Two Safeties will tie the mark of 12 hits in one series set by Sam Rice of Washington in 1925 and tied by the crashing Pepper Martin of the Cardinals in 1931. Tough Little "Pony" It is probably the most unexpected performance of the 1953 classic. For, while little Billy plays with all the aggressive toughness of the famed "Wild Hoss of the Osage," he is regarded by his chuckling teammates as more of a rambunctious pony. These long-standing laughs are turning into glances of amazement during this series, because Billy's bat has been barking with frequency and authority. It was his seventh inning home run with one on yesterday which provoked what turned out to be the Yankee margin of victory in an 11 to 7 jamboree. That gave him a mark of 10 hits in 19 trips to the plate for a fat 526-making him the leading hitter of the series. Strangely enough, the usually bombastic Billy is taking his approach to greatness with a surprising humility. "It would be nice to have the record," he admits, "but winning the series is all I care about. Of course, I hope to keep hitting, and I feel as if I should. Local Netters Sweep Inter-Club Matches; Results of Sunday Play Anaheim C and D League teams got off to a good start each winning their respective rounds against the Santa Ana C and D League teams. The C team squeezed out an 8 to 6 decision over the scrappy Saint's. The D League completely swamped the Santa Ana netters on their own courts, taking 8 out of the 9 matches played.

Intersectional Warfare Holds Spotlight By HAL WOOD FRANCISCO (UP)—International gridiron warfare holds this week as the Pacific Conference teams go into fourth week of action without big too much attention to common within their own ranks. LA, still one of the few united teams in the west, gets charged test from Big Ten foe Bonsin, a club that last aped in the Los Angeles are on Year's Day and lost the Rose to USC.

California lost to Ohio, 19-33, but looked so power-in the offensive side that the Bears must be picked to the Quakers, a 13-7 victor Penn State. LA had trouble getting by the Oregon club, 12-0, but should stand against the Badgers. Idaho 12 victor over Montana, will be underdog against Brigham Bog. There will be plenty of action in the conference, too. South Carolina, 27-14, Friday night, takes Washington in search of its win. The Huskies showed a new life in whipping Oregon, 28-0. Surprising Indians Oregon State, which hasn't used a touchdown all season, host to the surprising Stanford at Portland.

The Cougars trounced. 54-12 by Iowa and jamboree. That gave him a mark of 10 hits in 19 trips to the plate for a fat .526-making him the leading hitter of the series. Strangely enough, the usually bombastic Billy is taking his approach to greatness with a surprising humility. "It would be nice to have the record," he admits. "but winning the series is all I care about. Of course, I hope to keep hitting, and I feel as if I should. "Ordinarily you make your batting mistakes when you're too anxious," he adds. "I've felt good and felt confident, and I've been waiting for a good pitch. The fact that I've got the confidence must be the answer, because if you feel like a bum, you'll hit like one." Billy always has been long in the confidence department. Casey Stengel, the Yankee manager, recalls that when he managed Martin at Oakland, he once batted Billy ninth-behind the pitcher. Billy charged Stengel in consternation and squeaked. "Holy mackerel, Case, you've got me hitting with the groudskeeper."
