Citrus Scores Early, Tops Anaheim B Team by 13-0 Maybe it was two or three other teams that Coach Sam Keith was thinking about when he remarked earlier this year that "nobody's going to push us around much on defense." Maybe you don't want to call that "pushing" that the Citrus B's did Friday night, but it certainly looked like it—or bumping, shoving, nudging, or perhaps just plain old mopping up the field. And when they were finished, the little Cougars held a 13-0 win over the Colonist Bs. It was a surprising change—a complete reversal of form that the Colonists had shown the previous week in whipping Bell Gardens, 18-13. They did heat up enough steam in the second half to stop the Cougars from making a complete rout of it, but the Citrus Bs had had far too much in the first 20 minutes. Almost Score Most of the Anaheim spectators refused to believe it even after the Cougars had powered almost all the way following the opening kickoff. Using running plays exclusively, they moved from their own 46 to the Anaheim 20 before surrendering the ball. At that, the Colonists only got possession when a fourth down pass was slightly overthrown with a Cougar end in back of the defensive secondary. But the Colonists failed to go, and after a punt, Cougars moved to score. Three running plays picked up a first down, and then Dick Richardson's pass picked up 28 yards when Lee Peters grabbed it on the Anaheim 21. Three plays later Jake Williams dashed over from the eight with yard gain to the 48. The visit was pleasant, but brief, Ronnie Sanchez immediately being dumped back on his own side of the mid-field stripe on the next play. Keith Talks If things were quiet here in Anaheim, you probably heard Keith's halftime lecture, and the Colonists did seem to appreciably pep up in the final half—but with no scoring results. Quarterback Sanchez resorted to running from a short punt formation in the last two quarters, but the effort was frequently ruined by poor passes from the center, who was undoubtedly used to the short T hike. And the best that the Colonists could do was to get to the Citrus 28 early in the fourth period where Walker was dumped for a four-yard loss with fourth and three to go. Williams again provided the only stand-up-and cheer fireworks when he deshed 36 yards to score in the last period, only to have it nullified by a clipping penalty that occurred about 20 yards away from his path to TD land. Williams proved to be the most powerful runner during the evening, evidenced by the fact that own 46 to the Anaheim 20 before surrendering the ball.

But the Colonists failed to go, and after a punt, Cougars moved to score. Three running plays picked up a first down, and then Dick Richardson's pass picked up 28 yards when Lee Peters grabbed it on the Anaheim 21. Three plays later Jake Williams dashed over from the eight without being touched. Richardson quarterback sneaked over for the conversion. Score Again The second score was almost a duplicate of the first, except that the Colonist offered a few more offensive fireworks this time. They had moved the ball to their own 49 before halfback Bill Walker fumbled away the chance. Citrus then promptly drove 48 yards in only six plays for the second tally, the longest gainer being Richardson's 20-yarder. Williams again powered across for the score, this time from nine length out. Actually, it was futile for the Colonists to try much during these first two periods. It was not until there were only two minutes and 15 seconds left in the half that they finally got into Citrus territory with the ball, Gary Wells making the invasion with a seven- CINA-CAR DRIVE-IN THEATRE 8812 Lincoln Ave. Out Center, & M.I.

Williams proved to be the most powerful runner during the evening, evidenced by the fact that he had his helmet torn from his head on his second scoring jaunt on an attempted necktie tackle, but he was only momentarily delayed—probably just unsnapped his chin strap. Wells Best Wells wound up as the top Anaheim runner, although Sanchez failed to trust him with the task of carrying until well into the second quarter. Then, after proving that he could move with it, he wasn't chosen to do so a single time in the final half. Halfback Jim Ball, who made such a shambles of the Bell Gardens line the previous week, was forced to sit this one out with a sore back. Statistics may prove nothing, but please consider these: Ball's running against Bell Gardens netted 96 yards. The whole B backfield running against Citrus netted 77 yards.

Phone Klimball 4500 Colonists Show By ERNIE BEYER No rose throwing this week. The Colonists have said goodbye, farewell adieu, and so long to the "exhibition" season, and now they get down to the serious practice of playing football. And they'll play the next one here at home. With a tough Covina oleven coming in on Friday to supply the home opener opposition, the Colonists look far from ready to handle any ruffians despite their lopsided 24-0 win over Citrus Friday night. It was the second straight win for Anaheim—indeed, even the second straight blanking—but the wordy column of type that you now see extended below is intended to tell what the score doesn't. One Drive Actually, the Colonists had but one concentrated drive during the night, that one coming after the opening kickoff. They followed this with two quick tallies on lucky breaks, and then played patty-cake with the Cougars until Augie Huesca's long jaunt in the final quarter set up the final score. Once again the Colonists relied almost solely on the ground attack, the first score coming exclusively on running plays. The march covered 70 yards, Anaheim using seven plays to cover the distance. Huesca and Leonard Weaver were the big gainers in the drive, Weaver running on a pitchout around left Huesca-gaining 24 on the play to the right. Conversions Huesca tallied his third year punching over two. John Steinborn made conversion, a habit that extend throughout the evens. Steinborn missed another night was through, a Dickenson missed twice. Citrus then mangled to ball for exactly one play tossing it back in Anaheim. Quarterback Bob Bjorklar a pitchout to halfback M. but when it went over Lavery everyone forgot about it. Everyone, that is, excee born, who experienced trouble pushing and of teammates out of the way to retrieve the ball before out of bounds. Once he still had to convince specialists that it belonged to nists, since they were just ready to call it an incongruous ward pass. Tally Again Perhaps it was Steinborn thusiasm in chasing the was the deciding factor, officials conferred and u came up with the decision had, indeed, been a inte and that the ball was agerhelm's. From this spot—this spit the Citrus 29-yard line— My, Oklahoma Risk Winning Wings Against Strong Foes YORK (F)—Modern footlongest unbeaten skein lay past the 20 mark, but both of them face a possible scissoring job next Army, Oklahoma Risk Winning Bings Against Strong Foes YORK (AP) — Modern foot-longest unbeaten skein lay mobs today and possible loomed immediately ahead two records that come close-matching it. Aged at 39 games was Notre Dame four-year uninterrupted cracked by a Purdue team, shioned a shocking 28-14 Saturday at South Bend left Army and Oklahoma on success streaks already past the 20 mark, but both of them face a possible scissoring job next Saturday. Game of Day West Point, unlicked in 22 games, will oppose formidable Michigan in New York's Yankee stadium in the game of the day. Oklahoma's sooners will risk their 23 consecutive victories against powerful, unbeaten Texas at Dallas' Cotton Bowl. This game is the first half of Dallas' celebrated double-header. The night game will feature undefeated Southern Methodist against once-tied Oklahoma A. and M. No Surprise Texas, idle last week, holds a 34-28 victory over the Purdue team that rocked Notre Dame's fighting Irish. Oklahoma, on the other hand, barely escaped with a 34-28 triumph over Texas A. and M., achieved in the fading minutes. Conquests for both Michigan and Texas would not create too great a surprise. They could do it. The Wolverines from Ann Arbor, co-champions of the Big Ten, fell before Michigan State in the opening game but bounded back last Saturday to whip Dartmouth, 27-7. Top Two Fall Army, meanwhile, set down Penn State emphatically on Bob Blaik's passing, 41-7: The young season already has produced a brash disregard for the college sport's hierarchy. The two top-ranking teams were given a rude bumping last weekend while two other powers barely escaped with skin intact. Michigan State, given No. 2 rating behind Notre Dame after its manhandling of Michigan, fell before Maryland 34-7. Michigan State's opponent Saturday is William and Mary, another week-end upset victim. The Indians were walloped, 47-0, by Wake Forest in Dixie's major surprise. Giants Hold Surprising NFL Leadership on Defensive Ability NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Giants, because they play against the "book" and feature defense rather than offense, are maing pro football's two attacking mights—the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles—sit up and take notice. Rated no better than third or fourth in the power-packed American conference, the New Yorkers have utilized their bone-bruising defense for three straight victories and are the only team in the 13-team circuit without a setback. Again Vesperday Among their victims are the Pittsburgh Steelers, 18-7; Cleveland, 6-0, and yesterday, Washington's Redskins 21-17. That means Steve Owen's out it has yielded only 24 points, an average of eight a game. The Browns, who whipped Pittsburgh, 30-17, on Saturday, are No. 2 in the American conference with a 3-1 record. Then comes Philadelphia, 56 to 20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, in third place with 2-1. Meanwhile, three teams—the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and New York Yanks—are tied for the National Conference lead. All, sporting 3-1 records, won yesterday. The Bears trimmed their cross-town rivals, the Chicago Cardinals, 27-6; Detroit hauled San Francisco its fourth straight loss, 24-7, and the Yanks outscored Green Bay, 44-31. Come From Behind The Giants forced to come from behind three times, finally hit the winning combination at 9:22 of the last period, when Charley Conerley threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Gene Roberts. Up until that time, the Skin-had kept one step ahead of New York, mainly on Bill Dudley's running and Harry Glimer's passing. Glimer, subbing for the injured Sammy Baugh, scored the first touchdown and filpee a four yard pass to Dudley for the second. The latter kicked two extra points and a 20-yard field goal.

MOVING STORAGE General Trucking PHONE:2123 505 S.Los Angeles St.Anaheim Show Flashes, Win 24-0 the drive, Weaver running 30 yards on a pitchout around the end, and Huesca-gaining 24 on the kickoff play to the right. Conversions Razzi Huesca tallied his third score of the year punching over from the two. John Steinborn missed the conversion, a habit that was to extend throughout the evening. Stemborn missed another before the night was through, and Jerry Dickenson missed twice. Citrus then managed to hold the ball for exactly one play before passing it back in Anaheim's lap. Quarterback Bob Bjorkland flipped it pitchout to halfback Miller Lee, but when it went over Lee's head, everyone forgot about it. Everyone, that is, except Steinborn, who experienced some trouble pushing one of his own teammates out of the way in order to retrieve the ball before it went out of bounds. Once he had it, he still had to convince the officials that it belonged to the Colonists, since they were just about ready to call it an incomplete forward pass. Tally Again Perhaps it was Steinborn's enthusiasm in chasing the ball that was the deciding factor, but the officials conferred and ultimately came up with the decision that it had, indeed, been a lateral pass and that the ball was again Anaheim's. From this spot—this spot being the Citrus 29-yard line—the Colo-nist drove for the score in three plays, with an adverse five-yard penalty tossed in. Weaver covered the final two for the touchdown. Following this kickoff Citrus managed to hold the ball for three plays before kicking to the Anaheim 41. Weaver returning to the Cougar 44. On the first play quarterback Enoch Peterson indicted back, although he appeared to be looking vainly for someone to take the ball. When no one appeared in this capacity, he turned and weakly flipped to Weaver, who just happened to be standing behind the line of scrimmage. Without the benefit of a single ag or zag, Weaver rolled down the left sideline to the third score of the first quarter. Citrus Threat Dut impressive as this display might have seemed at the time, the Colonists were not again to get close until Huesca's move in the fourth quarter. And they were to spend most of the intervening time in their own territory. Only another break in the second period allowed Anaheim to keep its goal line uncrossed. Citrus had taken the ball on the Anaheim five 'when center Gene Goselle lofted the ball over Jenkin's head while he was standing back to punt. Jenkins lost 30 yards on the play and the officials pailed on a three-yard penalty when he intentionally tossed the ball away. On the second running play however, Lee fumbled and the ball blooped into the arms of half-back Ira Webber who raced to the 39 before he was stopped. The Colonists had little chance to score in the third session, having possession of the ball only twice for a total of six plays. They lost it once on a fumble and surrendered it on the other occasion on an interception. Huesca Rolls Weaver intercepted a pass to open the final period, and the Colonists again came to life. Weaver gained seven, and then Huesca rambled about 200 yards—49 of them forward—to put the ball on the Citrus 15. From there, three cracks by Webber and two by Huesca put it over, the latter again making the tally. The Cougars only had the past once after that, losing it when Glenn Kuminski draped himself around a fumble on the tail-end of a completed pass. The Colonists were knocking again being situated on the Cougar nine, when the game ended. The big moral of the victory was that the Colonists can ill afford to run out of gas late in the game against Covina as they did against Citrus. Covina, down 14-7 to Pomona, rallied for 21 points to win 28-14—all three scores coming in the final period.

Reports persist that Seattle Manager Paul Richards will pilot the Chicago White Sox next year, although Richards still insists he hasn't signed anything yet. The story this time comes out of Yankee stadium in New York. Joe Gordon, Cleveland infielder, is mentioned as Richards' successor at Seattle.
