Colonists — "There'll Never Be Another You"
One sure thing to come out of a Colonist varsity football game is the consistency or pattern of play from one game to the next.
In every game but one (El Rancho) Anaheim's opponents manage to control each department of the game except one, the scoreboard. It is not unusual to see an occasional game wherein the loser controls the ball but when it happens in four games out of five and the out-statisticized team still has a 3-2 record on the season the logical question is, "how long can it go on?"
It can be safely stated that Huntington Beach is undoubtedly the weakest team Anaheim will face this year, yet a look at the statistics will confound such a statement, (excepting net yards gained from rushing).
The Colonists can boast (2) of only one forte—the ability to spring the backs into the open for long touchdown runs—not a weakness, to be sure, BUT, one that can and will hurt them before this season comes to an end, although I pray not.
FOUR FIRST DOWNS
Ponder this one—Anaheim made THREE first downs in the first half and only one of those came off prior to a touchdown, still they made THREE TDs in the half.
In the second half, they made one first down, and it preceded the 23-yard pass play, Grover to Gouyd that scored.
FOUR first downs and FOUR touchdowns! Tie that for a fairy-tale, if you can.
When Coach Van Hoorebeke says the team is not a good one, no one wants to believe him. even 'Old Hal', but let's face it fans, something radically wrong with our offense.
I've been harping on poor passing until I'm tired of hearing myself talk, (or maybe it's a case of not enough passing, or both), but in any case the pass is going to hurt the team sooner or later—not enough of our own and too many of the opponents.
As long as the pass is in football, the successful team knows how to and does use it.
Paul Grover threw five against the Oilers and completed but one. I hear you say, "why pass when you're in front?" I answer, "when will Grover gain confidence in his passing ability if he doesn't do it under game conditions?" If a quarterback calls for the pass ONLY WHEN HE'S BEHIND and he can average only 20 percent completions why bother to pass?
One out of five won't pull many games out of the fire.
Ne Confidence
Does Grover lack confidence in his ends? When he throws to them (which is very seldom) he leads them so far Tom Fears couldn't even reach 'em. One of the finest plays of the season resulted in a magnificent finger-tip catch of a Grover pass by Left End Jack Crosson that went for a TD in the Citrus game, and Right End Gabe Vasquez is still waiting for a chance to do the same thing, but for some unaccountable reason neither man's number is ever called more than once or twice per game.
In Coach Van Hoorebeke and his assistants, John Wallin and Bill Hicks. I believe I'm safe in saying there is no sounder coaching staff in the Sunset league, therefore I subject myself to much criticism in putting my observations in print but so be it—the life of a sportswriter is a precarious one indeed, to unfold to my readers tomorrow night, and may the Lord forgive me for the many venomous thoughts I've had, since last Friday night's game, about a select few, half-witted nincompoops among the Anaheim Union High School student body.
Purdue's Upset Win Over MSC Stuns Big Ten

Jaycee, Small College Results
Leave Only Six Undefeated Teams
LOS ANGELES — Six of Southern California’s 40 junior and small college football teams remained undefeated today following the weekend’s round of grid battles.
Still undefeated were Pasadena; Bakersfield and Antelope Valley in the jaysee ranks and Redlands; Occidental and Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo in small college competition.
Pomona-Claremont, which had been undefeated prior to the weekend, was toppled, 13 to 10, in its lands.
It was the Bulldoge’ narrowest win. They had beaten all opponents by at least 20 points until the Pomona-Claremont tilt.
Cal Poly Beats Waves
Occidental rested over the weekend, but mighty Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo kept up its crushing tactics by rolling over Pepperdine, opponents’ 12 in five games, figures as an easy winner of the Western State Conference.
Bakersfield Favored
Bakersfield is the favorite to take the Metropolitan Conference and Antelope Valley rates as the probable crown-winner of the South Central circuit.
The Eastern Conference is without an undefeated club, but Orange Coast, beaten only once, figures as the most likely titlist.

LOS ANGELES (UP)—Brooklyn pitcher Don Newcombe, on leave from the Army, thrilled more than 14,000 fans in Wrigley Field yesterday by striking out 12 batters as the Campanella All-Stars blanked the Major League All-Stars, 4 to 0.
Roy Campanella and Jim Pendleton each connected with roundtrippers as Newcombe held the major leaguers to seven hits. His teammates got to pitchers Johnny Lindell, of the Philadelphia Athletics, and Fred Baczewski, of the Cincinnati Reds, for nine hits.
Campanella and Pendleton hit their home runs with bases empty. Campanella's drive cleared the brick fence at the 285-foot mark.

Purdue's Upset Win Over MSC Tuns Big Ten
APAYETTE, Ind., (UP)—A position game and a stubborn defense engineered Purdue's classy upset victory over mighty Michigan State, Coach Stu Holcomb today.
Our scouts did a good job, and figured the best way to succeed did be to try and keep possession much as possible." Holcomb said. "As a result, we had the ball more than they did."
After failing to come up with a long defense in four straight sets, Holcomb inserted three new wagers for last Saturday's crucial one against a team rated second the nation and with a 26-game timing streak. It did the trick. We shifted Leonard Zyda to end, Frank Paparazzo to left, and Phil Ehrman to defend fullback, and all three did a great job.
Zyda, a sophomore, started the game. Paparazzo, another sophomore, Ehrman, a junior, were early institutes.
The big difference was our defensive play," Holcomb said. "We yed 4-8 and 5-4 situations, but had nine men at or near the edge of scrimmage."
That combination held the power Spartans to seven first downs and 152 yards rushing.

Optimists Win First Winter League Game Over Buena Park, 17-0
The Anaheim Optimist's Club, local entry in the Orange County Winter baseball league, broke loose from its winless moorings yesterday and shelled Buena Park 17-0, while leveling a 12-hit attack paced by George Bishop's three for three including a four baser.
Manager Bob Muckenthaler breathed a sigh of relief and said, "While trying to find the right men for the right positions, we seemed to come up with one vital mistake in each game that proved fatal. We're a good team now, and we'll prove rough for the best of 'em."
Pitcher Ralph Sutliff was the big show for the service club nine--allowing but four cheap singles and striking out 16 men for the shutout.
Muckenthaler stole two bases including a "wind-up steal" of home in the eighth.
