Steinborn Holds Top Spot Among AUHS Ball Packers Although four carries against Huntington Beach netted him exactly zero yards, Colonist fullback John Steinborn made enough against Fullerton to retain his role as the best Anaheim ball carrier with an average of 5.46 yards per carry. Augie Huesca, his nearest rival, also fell slightly against the Oilers and did not even play against the Indians, but he held on to second place. Moomaw Earns 'Lineman' Award NEW YORK (UP)—Donn Moomaw, 16-year-old sophomore center at UCLA, was selected today as this week's Lineman of the Week in the Associated Press poll. The 6-4, 215-pound youth from Santa Ana, Calif., is the first sophomore to gain the award since Blaine Earon, of Duke, earned the nod last year. Moomaw's work against Purdue brought him this week's award. Moomaw threw Purdue backs for losses five times at critical spots, intercepted one pass, and altogether played his sixth consecutive outstanding game. Dick Hyland, of the Los Angeles Times, declared: "Right now, to me, he is the best linebacker seen in college ranks since the war. No praise will spoil him. Coach Red Sanders says he is the best soph competitor he has ever seen. Twice in eight days he has been the major factor in Bruins' defeat of Stanford and Purdue." WEAVER WORKER Halfback Leonard Weaver remained the workhorse of the backfield, carrying 51 times in five games although hampered by injuries in one of these. Ira Webber passed Huesca in his week of inactivity to become the second hardest worker. Although fizzling a bit in its last two games, Anaheim's running attack still seems capable enough with an overall average of 3.77 yards for each run. Passing, a doubtful quantity at the beginning of the year, has been very good. Three throwers—Steinborn, Enoch Peterson, and Jerry Dickenson—each have completed at least half of their passes. Peterson is the leader in most divisions, having thrown 30, completed 17 for 268 yards. He has, however, also had six throws intercepted. BALL ON TOP With the Bs, Jim Ball, although playing in only two of the first five games, continues to set the pace. He has gained 124 yards, almost doubling the output of any of the other more frequently used backs. Among those playing more reg Moonaw threw Purdue backs for losses five times at critical spots, intercepted one pass, and altogether played his sixth consecutive outstanding game.

Charles Johnson, of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, and Fred Russell, of the Nashville Banner, were among other writers who picked Moomaw.

Riggs, who promoted the Jack Kramer - Pancho Gonzales tour last year and who threatens to lose all of those profits on this year's cast of Kramer-Segura-Adic-Moran, tried his promotional dickering in baseball this fall and took quite a scrubbing. Along with John Jachym, he was backing a touring group of ball players which was scheduled to make appearances in most of the major U.S. cities. Unfortunately, several things happened. Cold weather set in in the East, the games with the best advance sales were rained out, football started — and then Miami. The promoters had hoped to recover something in Miami. They even went so far as to make it an "Al Rosen night" for the homecoming of the Cleveland rookie. But a hurricane got to Miami before the tour did. So in New Orleans a couple nights later they decided to call it off although the tour was less than half over. After the performers had been paid off, debits totalled $64,000. That makes Riggs' share a tidy 32 Gs. The understanding is that the Rose Bowls Of Husky-SAN FRANCISCO daddy of all the positions as Pacific Coast coach home stretch driver. The club to re-Pasadena classic, N.Y., the last league return November 25. But the likely to go should be this weekend when Washington clash UCLA STILL IN. These two powerhouses are the only unbeaten members of the conference has a 3-0 league record. University of California Los Angeles, however, is a slider with three wins at UCLA could get the wins the rest of its co-leaders each. Stanford was the favorite to take it all. Dians suffered two sets their cause appears though a slim chance remains. Southnia, Idaho, Washington Oregon State, and Ohio outclassed. The main event and possibly of the seattle, will be fought by California Bears andington Huskies. The sixth and the Huskies Associated Press natiTHIRD FOR CAL California is bidding successive visit to the It lost there last New Ohio State, 14-17, and Major-Minor League Bigwigs Claim Progress on PCL Draft CINCINNATI (AP)—Baseball's bigwigs may assist the Pacific Coast league today in its announced desire to be a soft dogger. A four-man committee headed by Commissioner A. B. Happy Chandler, was to pick up today where it left off yesterday, listening to arguments on why the triple-A circuit biggest in the west, should excused from baseball's ant-talent grab. The project was argued for some yesterday in a smoke-filled room, and everyone appear-a bit hazy about just what accomodation is needed. BING-PROGRESS Julie O'Connor Chicago attorney and former assistant to the Commissioner Kenesaw Maintain Landis, spokesman for coast loop, hazarded: "We are making progress, that certain. It probably will be a promise — and compromises claimed by everyone—but I'm with we will do some good." BULLETIN CINCINNATI (P) — Baseball commissioner A. B. Chandler told today the Pacific Coast league probably will be moved to a higher classification, possibly 4-A before the start of 1951 season. Branch Rickey Brooklyn prexy general manager until last day, turned over a new conditional leaf with a straight-ward: think we'll accomplish some." Walter Mulbry secretary baseball opined: "We are nearer than ever to do something for the Pacific League." B, TRAUTMAN JOIN structure from the books, but declined to go along with a proposal by the two Philadelphia clubs to erase the rule barring the signing of high school players before they or their class graduate. The majors decided to continue the all-star poll under direction of Chicago Tribune Sports Editor Arch Ward, with player ballots being cast for specific positions instead of merely designating the men as infielders, outfielders, etc. Bucks Near Top On Offense, Too NEW YORK (AP)—Ohio State which on the record has the best defensive line in the country, emerged today as one of college football's best attacking teams, as well. As a result of their 88-21 rout of Iowa last Saturday, Wes Fessler's Buckeyes moved up with the leaders in several offensive statistical departments. The latest batch of figures from the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau show Ohio State: 1. First among major college teams in scoring points. 2. Ninth in total offense. 3. Ninth in forward passing. 4. First in the number of scoring passes thrown. The Buckeyes for most of the They even went so far as to make it an "Al Rosen night" for the homecoming of the Cleveland rookie. But a hurricane got to Miami before the tour did. So in New Orleans a couple nights later they decided to call it off although the tour was less than half over. After the performers had been paid off, debits totalled $64,000. That makes Riggs share a tidy 32 Gs. The understanding is that the crowds were so poor on some nights that it looked like La Palma park on a good night. When Pennsylvania halfback Francis Bagnell came to everyone's attention a few weeks back by completing 19 straight passes against Dartmouth and by gaining 100 yards that way, considerable interest was raised about his nickname 'Reds." "Reds" is not a typographical error. Apparently, according to reliable information, this is simply the common nickname given to Philadelphiaians who happen to have hair of a certain hue. They may be "Red" anywhere else in the country, but in Philadelphia they're 'Reds." Bagnell, who used to be the Quaker waterboy in his youth, possesses the flaming type of thatch. The explanation may sound a bit unbelievable, but it must be an arbitrary rule. Many years ago when Illinois' immortal Red Grange made a professional football appearance in Philadelphia, he was duly described in the Philadelphia circles as "Reds Grange." During the past baseball season Detroit fans used to greet Hoot Evers with a chant that sounded slightly as though they were booing him. What it really amounted to was a cry of "Hoot, Hoot, Hoot." Not to be outdone, the UCLA rooting section has come up with an equalizer in its greeting to Donn Moomaw, ex-Santa Ana high school player who is now their top line backer. Whenever the field announcer says the word "Moomaw" in describing a defensive maneuver by this sophomore center, the rooting section lets go with "Mooooooooooooo MAW." And at the rate that he's been turning in those defensive sparklers this year, he's kept the rooters pretty busy. Cravath to Start Robertson Again Oregon State, and Oregon State outclassed.

First among major college teams in scoring points. 2. Ninth in total offense. 3. Ninth in forward passing. 4. First in the number of scoring passes thrown. The Buckeyes for most of the season have had the nation's best record in rushing defense. This is all bad news for Northwestern, the Ohio State foe this Saturday. Against Iowa last week, the Buckeyes moved 432 yards—183 on foot and 247 in the air—in scoring 12 touchdowns. It was the biggest walloping handed a major team since Army overwhelmed Villanova in 1944 by 83-0. Ohio State now has scored 225 points in five games, an average of 46.3 for each afternoon's work. Wyoming follows with 239 points in six games, an average of 38.8. Ohio State threw five touchdown passes against Iowa, bringing the team's total to 14 for the year. The Buckeyes thus replaced Vanderbilt, which has led this department most of the campaign. Vandy has 13 touchdown passes in six games, the same as Kentucky. Arizona State at Tempe still leads in total offense with 2773 yards in six games, an average of 462.2. Army follows with an average of 450 and then come SMU, 447.2, and Princeton, 440.6. Clemson and Alabama fell from the exclusive 400-yards-per-game group. Penn, which plays Army in the big game at Philadelphia, has been best at keeping passes out of enemy hands. The Quakers have had only two of 106 passes intercepted. Cravath to Start Robertson Again LOS ANGELES (A) — Wilbur Robertson again will pilot the Southern California Trojans when they take the field against Stanford at Palo Alto Saturday. Coach Jeff Cravath decided to start Robertson as he did against Oregon a week ago. Robertson turned in his best game of the season.

The club to represent the big far western circuit in the Pasadena classic, New Year's day, may not be decided until the last league returns are in November 25. But the teams most likely to go should be determined this weekend when California and Washington clash in Seattle. UCLA STILL IN These two powerhouse snubs are the only unbeaten, unified members of the conference. Each has a 3-0 league record. The University of California at Los Angeles, however, is a solid contender with three wins and one loss. UCLA could get the call if it wins the rest of its games and the co-leaders each lose two. Stanford was the pre-season favorite to take it all. But the Indians suffered two setbacks and their cause appears hopeless, although a slim mathematical chance remains. Southern California, Idaho, Washington State, Oregon State, and Oregon seem outclassed. The main event of the week and possibly of the season, therefore, will be fought between the California Bears and the Washington Huskies. The Bears rank sixth and the Huskies 12th in the Associated Press' national poll. THIRD FOR CAL California is bidding for its third successive visit to the Rose Bowl.

The Bears rank sixth and the Huskies 12th in the Associated Press national poll. THIRD FOR CAL California is bidding for its third successive visit to the Rose Bowl. It lost there last New Year's to Ohio State, 14-17, and to Northwestern, 14-20, the year before. California started the season with material Coach Lymn (Pappy) Waldorf described as "the greenest of any major college in the country." The green hands have done all right. Besides the three conference victories, they have beaten three other rivals, including strong Pennsylvania, 14-7. Three of the hardest hitting backs anywhere, Jim Monachino, Pete Schabarum, and John Olszewski, plus numerous linemen, have parlayed the California cause, week by week. The team's standout candidate for all America is Les Richter, '22, pound right guard. If California hurdles Washington, it still must meet two tough ones—UCLA and Stanford. HUSKIES BETTER OFF Washington's outlook is brighter in one sense. If it goes by California, it will have something of a downhill pull. It already has measured UCLA, 21-20 and Stanford, 21-7. After this week, less strong Oregon, Southern California, and Washington State will provide the opposition. Washington's single defeat was by non-conference Illinois, 13-20. Howie Odell, who took over as Washington's head man in 1946 after six successful years at Yale, has produced a championship caliber club that strikes swiftly both in the air and on ground. The on-field rates in the same heavy punching class as California's. Washington's big advantage lies in Don Heinrich, whose mastery of the T-quarterbacking role leaves little to be desired. Heinrich's guidance has steered the Huskies to the conference top in total offense. His record of completed passes is an amazing .77 of 122. This is the margin of superiority that makes Washington the pre-game favorite. KEINRICH A-A CHOICE Heinrich, a junior, is the Huskies' principal all America candidate, followed by charging full-back Hugh McElhenny and pass-by Georgia. Santa Clara lost to Fordham, and meets Detroit. College of Pacific was beaten by Louisiana State and has Cincinnati and Boston U. scheduled.

Trautman became general manager of the Detroit Tigers, succeeding Jack Zeller. Ten Years Ago—Villanova whipped Kansas, 33-7, and Wake Forest blanked George Washington, 18-0, in college football.
