Hal Thomas A Dog Would Have Been Treated Better Writing this column is going to be one of the most painful of my entire career, and unqualifiedly, the most distasteful—like the father that takes his erring offspring across his knee, telling him, "this hurts me more than it hurts you, my son." Don't misunderstand me—I haven't the slightest qualm about what I shall say here, but I deplore the need for my saying it. When I have finished, I have naught to expect but many enemies, because those responsible for the conduct of their charges will run true to form and blame everyone but themselves for the heathenish actions of their own offspring. The administrative heads of our high school will disclaim responsibility on the grounds of "off campus," and or they will discredit me by whitewashing the incident and the perpetrators thereof. None the less, I will state my case—and without fear of contradition, since I am well fortified with eye-witnesses. First, to explain my position, my job requires that I gather the sports news and gather it accurately, when I say it's my job, it is just that, and a tough one it is, at best. My Kind of Guys Scoring a football game is no simple task and it requires two pairs of eyes to do the thing correctly. Intense concentration is demanded every second. Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke uses the game statistics from the Bulletin, for official data, in the absence of a high school scorekeeper, therefore, I find myself in a dual role, a role I have enjoyed in the past, but, one I shall perform in the future only out of respect for a fine bunch of gentlemen on the AUHS coaching staff, and a great bunch of guys that are men enough to walk onto a football field or any other athletic field of endeavor, and walk off good sports, win, lose, or draw. These are my kind of all-Americans—young men who play the game face to face with their opponents, get kicked in the jaw while the game is on, then walk off with arms around each other's shoulders when it's over. Contrast the clean-living athlete that holds his pants up with a belt, to the sickening, gutless, ice-cream-eater that still uses safety-pins in his "pants." Typical Jelly-Fish Consider for a moment, the boy that goes out for football. He denies himself a car, smoking, and many other indulgences that the "great lovers" refuse to give up. Coach Van Hoorebeke has actually had this experience many times—potentially good football players refuse to come out for the team because it would mean a little self-denial. A typical "jelly-fish" told Van this reason: "Well, I gotta have a car to get dates so if I play football I can't earn money to make my car-payments"—and that is the type of she-male that caused me to labor over today's column. Last Friday night, my spotter Rod Cookus and I were seated at the press table in front of the Anaheim rooting section, which, noise-wise, is sufficient handicap in the face of a difficult task, but tolerable IF left to do our work. All through the first half we were the targets of wadded up programs, popcorn, paper cups and anything else the morons could find to throw at us. To be sure, I carry no scars from the bombarding but it was obvious to our tormentors that they were successful in disturbing our work. A True Politician Finally Cookus smotted Student Body President John Faessel sitting NEW YORK — Powerful Not of its toughest opponents amid a best showing of the season in the U.S. today, but there was a big shakeup top 10. The Irish, who won the "game-of-the-week" from Georgia Tech, 27-14, were the first place choice of 29 coaches on the 35-man United Press rating board and had 343 out of a possible 350 points, just seven short of a perfect score. The upsets which spoiled the perfect records of Michigan State and Michigan shot Maryland up to second place, jumped Baylor three places to third, and gave West Virginia a spot among the top 10 for the first time this season. In leading the ratings for the fifth consecutive week, Notre Dame attracted five second place votes and one third, in addition to its 29 firsts. The 343-point total equalled the second best showing ever made in the United Press ratings. Oklahoma's 346 points in winning the 1950 national championship was the high mark. Notre Dame still has six obstacles remaining on the road to a perfect season and the mythical national championship, with the last two rivals, Southern California and Southern Methodist, expected to be the toughest. Before meeting them the Irish play Navy, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Iowa. Coach van Hoorbeek had actually had potentially good football players refuse to come out for the team because it would mean a little self-denial. A typical "jelly-fish" told Van this reason: "Well, I gotta have a car to get dates if I play football I can't earn money to make my car-payments"—and that is the type of she-male that caused me to labor over today's column. Last Friday night, my spotter Rod Cookus and I were seated at the press table in front of the Anaheim rooting section, which, noise-wise, is sufficient handicap in the face of a difficult task, but tolerable IF left to do our work. All through the first half we were the targets of wadded up programs, popcorn, paper cups and anything else the morons could find to throw at us. To be sure, I carry no scars from the bombarding but it was obvious to our tormentors that they were successful in disturbing our work. A True Politician Finally, Cookus spotted Student Body President John Faessel sitting in the immediate vicinity of the "firing line" and he asked Faessel to use his influence in putting a stoy to the thing. Faessel, in the true style of the politician replied classically, "Oh, they just have a lot of spirit," and the situation grew worse from that moment. The climax came just before the half ended. A half-eaten ice cream gone flew past my ear, splattered the scorebook and with that my blood-pressure exploded and I got up in a frantic effort to find a faculty member. Finding one, I appealed to him to sit behind us until the game was over and thus we were able to finish, but not without taking the worst bliss this humble person has ever heard. Whom to blame? Parents? Well, partly. Such sickening conduct usually stems from breeding. A parent that has no respect for his neighbor or his neighbor's goods, can certainly expect to see in his offspring, the same low-brow, back-alley, gas-house, alley-rat conduce displayed by the parent. God Help Us For this type (of which the world has too many, God help us) we have police, for sooner or later, the parent or son or both are surefire bets to be in close touch with the long arm of the law, the inevitable consequence of scummy breeding and environment. But whom else can we blame? THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL! By no stretch of conscience can the school authorities disclaim responsibility for the displecable conduct of the students in their charge AND when the student body attends an off-campus function such as a football game, God nor man should be lied to, that such an assemblage is no longer the school's responsibility. The school heads must be charged with the job of sprinkling sufficient faculty members through all sections of the student body seats to maintain order. If this is not done then the administrators must be charged with dereliction of duty to the citizens of this city and to the decent pupils in the school. If, as I suspect will be the case, the high school officials refuse to accept their rightful position them it can and must be arranged that policemen be called upon to restrain the few hopped-up weed-heads that conduct themselves such as those that tried Friday night, to crucify the person who has bent every effort in the direction of reporting AUFS sports activities in a manner that will do credit to the school. If I receive a single anonymous letter resulting from today's column, it is my fervent hope that it's writer is some day subjected to the ignominious treatment which I received at the hands of Anaheim Union High school students. A dog would have been treated better! Hill Believes Trojans at Best Against Bears LOS ANGELES (UP)—Coach Jess Hill believes his Southern California Trojans turned in their best performance of 1953 against California. "It was the first time this season that I felt the Trojans played up to their potential ability," he told Southern California football writers yesterday. "California is a good ball club and it could give any team trouble." California's advance spokesman, Bob Rubin, gave Southern California's punting advantage much of the credit for the Bears 32 to 20 loss. UCLA Assistant Coach Bill Barnes said the Bruins expect tough opposition Saturday against the Bears in Memorial Coliseum. "California has a well-rounded attack that is better than Stanford," he said. He said Coach Henry (Red) Sanders was satisfied with Saturday's 44 to 7 win over Washington State but "our defense was not as sharp as it will have to be if we intend to stop California."

"Crazylegs" Hirsch Stars in Movie Version of Own Life Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch, the time All-American back and pro end for the Los Angeles Rams is emerging as one of the scarcest of the year, says an artist in the current issue of People's Day, which tells how "Crazylegs came to play himself, in the most version of his life which is being released this week. Produced by Hall Bartlett, a personal friend of Hirsch, "Crazylegs All-American," had two more studios bidding for the acting ents of the pigskin hero. But Hirsch decided to stick with the hitherto unknown producer. The movie traces "Crazylegs development from a spindly-legged kid into an All-American back-star pro end for the Rams; whom he still plays. The story interlarded with authentic news shots of some of "Crazylegs great games. Lloyd Nolan played the Wausau, Wis., high school coach who exerted a strong influence on Hirsch's career.

Lighted Courts Mark New Era in Local Tennis Lighting of Tennis Courts in City Park marks second era of Tennis in Anaheim. Today Anaheim boasts one of the outstanding Junior Tennis Programs in Southern California. Under the leadership of Mrs. Bob (Melva) Williams the Junior Tennis Club has one of the largest active memberships of any club of its kind. Over 60 youngsters from grade school through high school take part in inter-city and intra-city play. Largely due to the efforts of this group, and the backing of older tennis enthusiasts in the community, the installation of night lights was completed recently. Perry Jones of the Los Angeles Tennis Club, often called "Mr. Tennis", has given recognition to the efforts of Mrs. Williams young tennis teams by inviting them to play at the club, the heart of tennis in the West. Tennis is not new to the Anaheim scene nor is Mrs. Williams. Melva (Roquet) Williams held the Orange county Womens singles title for many years while playing for Tex Middleton one time Recreation Director and Plunge Manager for the City. Tennis in Anaheim from 1928 to 1934 ranked with that of Log Beach, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara and others. Included in Middleton's program, was the Valencia Tennis Club, for business men, and the Anaheim Tennis Club and Junior Anaheim Tennis Club, all three of which played in League competition. It was for the Anaheim Tennis Club that Mrs. Williams gained her title. Middleton states, "as far back as 1930 we were interested in lighting for the tennis courts, the present lights realize a dream of long standing." Particular recognition should go SHINING LIGHTS — Leading playmally inaugurate the newly lit trator Keith Murdock for the tennis program are, left to Bob Carlson, club president, K tennis program for the City amment, and Julian Martinez, Garrett, Passer De Responsible for St SAN FRANCISCO — If by going to the Rose Bowl, the young post-season trip would be Robert and expert signal caller.

The Gees now boast a 2-1-0 record in league play. Marty Nunes, Bee coach says his team is more than ready for their 2 o'clock encounter. St. Johns is undefeated in league play with a 2-0-0 record and the local Saints can pull into a first place tie with a victory.
