ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1939 Colonists, Pilots Battle for Crown In Sunset League Anaheim and Excelsior Will Meet Tomorrow in Tilt for League Title Anaheim high school's varsity football team meets Excelsior high school tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock on the latter's gridiron in the contest which will determine the champion of the Sunset League. A capacity crowd is expected to attend the game. Tied at the top of the standings as the result of Anaheim's 26 to 0 victory over Huntington Beach and Excelsior's surprising 26 to 26 tie with Orange on the same day, the two teams enter the fray on an even basis as far as percentage is concerned. However, the Pilots haven't lost a Sunset League contest, but were tied twice, while the Colonists were downed by Jordan in their only league setback. Teams Evenly Matched A glance at the season's scoring records also indicates that the two teams are evenly matched. In this department Anaheim has a slight edge both offensively and defensively. The Colonists have scored 86 points in five contests. We Have More Than They To Be Thankful For----- Think back three hundred and eight Anaheim will include lee; Leon Allec, Pat Robert Cox, Wallace Düval, Robert Heet-Heinz, Doug Ingrahm, Mikhus, Thomas Quarton, on, and Joe Truxaw. Teams Evenly Matched A glance at the season's scoring records also indicates that the two teams are evenly matched. In this department Anaheim has a slight edge both offensively and defensively. The Colonists have scored 86 points in five contests and allowed only 39 points for the opposition. The Pilots have shoved over 85 tallies as against 55 for the opponents. Comparative scores of individual games are of little help in trying to predict the outcome. Excelsior tied Jordan, which beat Jordan, which beat Anaheim, but could only tie Orange which lost in Anaheim. The Colonists' victory over Fullerton was more impressive than that scored by Excelsior, but the Indians were a much better team when they met the Pilots than when they lost to Anaheim. High Scoring Game The contest promises to be a high-scoring affair, if past performances are any indication. Each team has on offensive average of just under three touchdowns a game and each club also has a fairly high defensive average. Anaheim must win tomorrow to cinch the title, because a tie result plus a win for Jordan in its final game, would place Anaheim, Excelsior and Jordan in a three-way tie for first place. In that case, the Pilots would have a better claim to the title because of not having lost a game, in spite of three ties. Coach Dick Glover expects to have his full strength to shoot against Coach Bob Ashton's crew tomorrow. Weather Anaheim's slight edge off the offensive and defensive records can offset the disadvantage of playing on a strange field remains to be determined. Car Drivers Face Drunk Accusation Two alleged drunk drivers were arrested by Anaheim police over the past week end, one of them later being released on bail and the second pleading guilty MonThink back three hundred and eighty-one—when our Pilgrim forefathers come best!
