B-2—Anaheim (Col.) Bulletin Friday, April 3, 1959 It’s Showdown Time At Anita Saturday SANTA ANITA PARK — It’s “showdown time” at Santa Anita tomorrow as the distaff members of the trotting set tangle once more with the boys in the $15,000 added Californian Trot, with “Troter of the Meeting” Laurels hanging in the balance. Annette Sue, Lumber Along and Time Me are the three feminine trotters ready to strut down the raceway tomorrow, and it could well be that one of them, Annette Sue, will wind up the favorite in the race. With Driver-Trainer Charley King expecting a two-minute clocking from his charge, and with the $10,000 added Del Mar Trot title already among her possessions “Susie” actually rates the call. The aforementioned Lumber Along started things off this spring when she trotted to victory in the $5,000 added Riverside on opening day last month. She was second in her last start—the Los Angeles Trot—to Model Heir. Model Heir is the one calculated to make the girls sit up and take notice tomorrow, as he also lists Annette Sue and Time Me among those he conquered in the Del Mar Trot. Owned by Gordon Van Every of Long Beach, Model Heir started to trot up the proverbial storm in the final weeks of the 1958 season at Yonkers, and his win here in the Del Mar indicated that he is racing in late summer form right now. Driver-Trainer Jim Dennis, always among the top sulky men in WHRA standings, will guide Model Heir in the California, and with that duo will go the hopes of the masculine trotting group at the In tonight's games, the College All-Stars play the Armed Forces representatives and the Oilers meet the Vickers. The winner of the three-night tournament will place from five to seven men on the U.S. team that will compete in this year's Pan-Am Games at Chicago. Robertson, everybody's A11-America selection from the University of Cincinnati, tossed 23 points in the collegians' opening victory. However, Green was the night's biggest star as he added 20 points and grabbed 27 rebounds. All-America Jerry West of West Virginia also was impressive as he totaled 22 points including a clutch basket with less than three minutes left that broke an 81-81 tie. Louisville's Don Goldstein then pumped in a long jump shot and Kansas State's Bob Boozer scored on a tap-in to sink the Oilers. The Collegians, although they have been playing together less than a week, displayed remarkable teamwork. And their accuracy was outstanding as they converted 53.7 per cent of their shots from the field. Seven-foot Don Boldebuck, formerly of the University of Houston, was the big man in the Vickers' triumph over the Armed Forces All-Stars. He scored 24 points on hook shots and tip-ins and stymied the Armed Forces' attack by blocking more than a dozen shots. The Wichita team was held to a 37-37 tie at halftime and fell behind 50-47 early in the second half. But the AAU champions knotted the score again on a free throw and a book shot by Boldebuck, then went ahead for good on a basket by Dan Swartz and three more field goals by Boldebuck. Garden Grove Wins Wheelchair Cage Tilt GARDEN GROVE (UPI)—The defending champion Flying Wheels of Long Beach beat the Florida Wheels of Tampa, Fla., 49 - 43. Thursday night in the opening round of the National Wheelchair Basketball Tourney. The Bropklyn Whirlaways, pre-tourney favorites, were edged, 27-25, in the opening game by the University of Illinois entry. In other games, the Pan-American Jets downed the Inglewood Rockets, 47-38, and second-seeded Garden Grove delicately Bayonne, N.J. Penn State's, Peters Now Athletic Director United Press International Chuck Peters, star ball-carrier at Penn State from 1938-40, set an NCAA football record that still stands. An artist at returning kickoffs, Peters averaged 52.2 yards with kick runbacks in 1940 for a mark still on the books. In 1938, Penn State set four pass defense records while compiling a 3-4-1 record. The next two years, Peters helped the Nittanny Lions to a record of 11-2-3. Whatever happened to Chuck Peters? He now is athletic director at Shamokin, Pa., High School which completed its most successful athletic year in history in 1958 by winning the Keystone football championship, wrestling and basketball titles in district No. 4 of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.

Many booths offer contests, demonstrations and giveaways, while others include wild animals and birds, as well as trophies of rod and gun. Besides the booths, the show features a continuous film theater screening color sound motion pictures, two public casting pools, one public trout pond where anyone may catch a fish for a small fee, and a glass tank for underwater demonstrations. Headlining the entertainment program staged in an outdoor stadium, the ever-popular “Parade of Outdoor Champions,” are the fabulous Japanese trained fishing birds (Cormorants), Greta Andersen, world’s champion marathon swimmer; and champion “tree topper” Hap Johnson racing up and down 410 foot trees.

Werner Buck said as he predicted record attendance of over 300,000 persons. Three Factors “They base this on three factors: first, we westerners fish more, travel more, hunt more and boat more than any other area in the country per capita; secondly, the vastly increased population of California and Southern California; and thirdly, economists predictions of general prosperity.” For the benefit of newcomers to Los Angeles, as well as those living in suburban areas, Pan-Auditorium is located at 73 Erly Blvd. The best turn those using the freeway from the east and south Hollywood Freeway at Avenue thence 3 blocks Beverly Blvd. and about 3 west to the show-site.

The title was declared vacant when Champion Boots Monroe failed to agree to a championship match with Hawkins, his assistant challenger the past six months. Hawkins is expected to reign as the favorite, though he was held to a draw last July 31 by Marques at the Olympic "Dynamic" Dwight has a top knockout record. Kid Rayo Drills For Guder Bout Kid Rayo has been impressing railbirds at the Olympic gym the past few days as he drills for his 10-round main event with Karl Heinz Guder at Long Beach Municipal Auditorium Tuesday night. Rayo, protege of Kid Centella, sensational Nicaraguan lightweight a few years back, has been showing plenty of class in his sparring sessions. The kid from Managua is a solid puncher, and moves with the speed of a lightweight. How well he can take a punch, and whether he is rugged enough to hold his own with Karl, remains to be seen. Guder, a rugged individual who can step ten rounds without slowing up, has won most of his fights with a relentless attack to wear the opposition down. Karl may be able to outlast Rayo to win, but win, or lose; most experts believe that Baron Von Stume made a mistake in signing Guder with Rayo in view of the German's coming encounter with Art Aragon at Hollywood April 25. Tickets are now on sale at the auditorium box office which will be open each day from now until Tuesday evening. Scoring 11 of his 18 wins by kayos. He has lost eight bouts and boxed two draws. Best Wins The former Manual Arts student's best victories were scored over Joe Beccera, a leading ban tamweight; Piml Barajas, Eddie Gasporra, Pelon Cervantes, Nacho Esclante, Noel Humphreys, Danny Valdez and Auburn Copeland. He ko'ed all but the last four. Hawkins' last Legion tilt was a decision over Humphreys, Jan. 24. Marques, former national AAU bantamweight champion, will be making his second start of the year. He decisioned Frankie Duarte on the Rosi-Florde card in San Francisco, Feb. 27. The clever little Mexican battler has an overall record of 9-3-1. He has four knockouts to his credit. He has beaten Billy Peacock, Baby Brown, Ross Padilla and Willie Parker. Matchmaker Jackie Leonard may try and land Joe Medel of Mexico for-the-winner. Dick Stoeffler Will To Bowl in Tournament Five Orange County residents, John Simone and Dick Stoeffler of Anaheim, Hank Catalano from Fullerton, and John Krassnick and Jack Henry of Buena Park will leave April 14 for St. Louis and the ABC bowling tournament. They will also be rolling in the famed Masters Tourney, held in conjunction with the ABC. Boasting a team average of 997, the fivesome will be rolling against some of the finest quintets in the country, including Don Carter, Buzz Fazio, Ed Lubanski and Billy Welu, and Steve Nagy. Stan Leonard Leads Masters Golf Tourney By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — Canadian Stan Leonard, who will only own up to 44 years but probably is closer to 50, led the field into the second round of the Masters golf tournament today—the first foreign player ever to do so. His three-under-par 69 Thursday over the rain-soaked, windswept Augusta National Golf Club course was two strokes better than anyone else as the 68 professionals and 19 amateurs generally found the elements too tough for them. Only three players outside of Leonard, a six-time Canadian PGA champion who has been a playing pro for 22 years, broke par. They were defending champion Arnold Palmer, Jackie Burke and the veteran Chandler Harper all of whom came in with one-under-par 71's. There were only five players at par—demonstrating how tough the course played Thursday except for Leonard. Leonard Ignores Wind The smiling Canadian played the wind as though he owned it. He took only 30 putts and had six one-putt greens, as he carded three birdies, and 15 pars. It was the second best round he ever has played in the six Master: m which he has competed. He had a 68 in 1957 when he finished 12th. At even par were Jay Hebert, Gene Littler, U.S. Open champion Tommy Bolt and two other foreign threats—Peter Thomson of Australia and Angel Miguel, the Spaniard who won the individual Pan Pacific in suburban areas, Pan-Pacific Auditorium is located at 7600 Beverly Blvd. The best turnoff for those using the freeway system from the east and south is the Hollywood Freeway at Verront Avenue, thence 3 blocks south to Beverly Blvd. and about 3½ miles west to the show-site. From San Fernando Valley the best Hollywood Freeway turnoff is at Highland Avenue, thence south on Highland about three miles to Beverly Blvd., and thence one mile west to the show. The huge exhibition continues through Sunday, April 12. Large parking areas adjoin the show. The first floor slab of the new grandstand has been poured and part of the steel columns have been erected, but the biggest part of the construction program must wait until the conclusion of the spring meeting May 6. In the meantime, the wooden bleachers that served as a grandstand in the past will be pressed into use again, with the first floor of the new stand serving as a roof over the parimutuel wagering booths. Concessions, rest rooms and related facilities all will be housed on the ground floor along with the parimutuel windows. The new grandstand itself will not be ready until the fall season in November. With the meeting just a week away, the traffic in the stable area has taken on the appearance of downtown on Dollar Day. Latest stable to check in was that of Donald K. Brokaw, whose Clabber's Win is the top candidate for the $20,000 Los Alamitos Championship May 2. The smiling Canadian played the wind as though he owned it. He took only 30 putts and had six one-putt greens, as he carded three birdies, and 15 pars. It was the second best round he ever has played in the six Master; which he has competed. He had a 68 in 1957 when he finished 12th. At even par were Jay Hebert, Gene Littler, U.S. Open champion Tommy Bolt and two other foreign threats—Peter Thomson of Australia and Angel Miguel, the Spaniard who won the individual championship in the Canada Cup matches last year. The pre-tournament betting favorite, three-time Masters champion Sam Snead, tied with 13 other players at 74. Snead couldn't control his approaches because of the winds, which were as high as 30 miles an hour. "That wind was enough to drive you crazy," he said. "I just couldn't figure my approaches, although I was driving well and putting all right." Back Nine Treacherous In the 74 bracket with Snead was Cary Middlecoff, who like so many in the first round came to grief on the back nine. Three holes, the 11th, 12th and 13th, all water holes, gave most of them trouble. ING A ER bargain in a something you want to sell? You a "number one your best marand selling.
