Laguna, Indians Favored to Hold Leads Definite favorites appear to be pretty clear cut in all of this weekend's Orange and Sunset league games. Laguna Beach, currently leading the Orange loop and not having yet yielded a point in conference play, will be a prohibitive choice to add Capistrano to its list in the league's headliner. The Artists ran up a 34-point edge over Valencia last Friday, and that seems to be just about the average, since they have tallied 100 in three league tilts. They also possess the league's top scorer in Don Henley, who has 44 points in the three outings. New Threat Laguna also found a new threat last week in halfback Phil Jones. He ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more. Tustin and Garden Grove, meanwhile, should remain in their second - place deadlock. Tustin faces weak Valencia, while Garden Grove turns on its lights for the second time this year in playing host to winless Brea-Olinda. Garden Grove appears to have the inside track on the second spot, having already beaten Tustin. The Tillers, too, must still face Laguna Beach this year—an uncomfortable task which Garden Grove has already fulfilled. Easiest Work The Argonauts apparently have the week's easiest task.

NEW YORK (P) — To Eddle Waitkus, skinny first baseman of the Philadelphia Phillies, goes the title of baseball's "Comeback King" of 1950. And it was a story of courage in its rawest form. The award was not given to Edward Stephen Waitkus because he had hit .284 last summer. Or because he was the best fielding first baseman in the league. EDDIE WAITKUS Rather, it was given because of his determination to win the biggest battle of all: the battle for life. Bullet Wound Only 17 months ago Waitkus was critically wounded by a bullet fired by a crazed girl in Chicago. Few thought he would live, much less play baseball again. Waitkus put in four arduous, pain-filled months of conditioning at Clearwater, Fla. “Looking back now,” Waitkus said later, “they were the sour Boudreau Out, Lopez in as Indian Leader CLEVELAND (P) — Al L. 42, longtime major league captain and for the past three years pilot of the Indianapolis Indians today was named manager of the Cleveland Indians for the two seasons.

Conspicuous in the action for Ritz are Ray Berg (white trunks), Ed Stringer (dotted trunks) and Bill Brady (flowered trunks). Brady was the night's high scorer with 35. (Gazette photos by Beyer) Ritz Cleans Hunt's 86-52 Continuing just where they left off last year, the Ritz Cleaners cleaned Hunt's Food of Fullerton, 86-52, in a practice basketball game last night at the high school gym. The lopsided win apparently stamps Ritz as the team to again beat in this year's city league. The game was actually more uneven than the score indicates. Ritz held a 30-4 lead at the first quarter, and was ahead 60-11 at halftime. While his teammates cooled off in the second half, Ritz center Bill Bradley didn't. He singed the meshes for 24 points to bring his night's total to 35, high for the game. Recreation Director Don Derr, meanwhile, announced that there still remains a need for teams in this year's city loop. Derr said that he has already lined up enough sponsors, but that a shortage of players remains.

Ph. 4012 Anaheim Anaheim's Oldest Pontiac Dealer Injuries Take Nine Regulars, Force Cole to Grab Jayvees Consider the thing from about 68 different angles and it's hard to see why, but for some inexplicable reason Anaheim's Colonists will be favored to win their second Sunset league game tonight in La Palma park when they face off against Santa Ana. Beneath it all there is a reason—injuries. Take Anaheim, for example. Al Guerrero, a starting tackle, is out for the year. Jerry Dickenson still has the leg miseries. Enoch Peterson is recovering from a broken nose. Augie Huesca, injured in the Huntington Beach game, still is not back in top shape. Stacked up next to the Saints, however, the Colonists must look like devotees of Bernaar McFadden. Coach Bill Cole tearfully exhibits nine of what he terms "regulars or alternating regulars" who have their names on the injury list. The rash of injuries has hit so hard in some spots that he plans to reach all the way to the junior varsity to come up with a starter for one position. That would be at the fullback spot, where both Frank Negrete and Ell Peralta are out. Both were banged up pretty badly in last week's game with Huntington Beach. Either or both might be ready for some action tonight, but Cole isn't banking on it. Three others are also on the doubtful list—guard Garrell Rodman, tackle Frank Torres, and left half Leonard Oakley. Should Oakley, Negrete, and Peralta all be unable to play, it would certainly put a dent in the Saint attack since it takes away both of the key ball carriers in the single wing. easily blanked the Oilers 25-0. Santa Ana had much more trouble actually trailing at some stages, and then winning late in the game, 32-20. If there is any one factor in Santa Ana's favor, it is probably the method of attack—the single wing. The Colonists have played only one single wing team this year, and lost to Covina in that one. If Fullerton's short punt, they were playing against a first cousin of the single wing, and they lost that one, too. For a change, the Colonists will be facing a team that has been able to pass the ball with a considerable amount of success, but the Saints may not try that method too often if they find the going on the ground to be easy enough. It may be easy enough, too, since six previous opponents have found the land attack to be much more fruitful than the air. On the other hand, the Colonists will probably do best to take to the air themselves. They have had a drought of offense in their last two games, making only 10 first downs. A mere two were made against Newport, neither of them by running. The only nose in this bed of thorns had been Leonard Weaver who has rushed for 187 yards in the two games. Despite this impressive figure, the Colonists have not been able to put together a single sustained Coast Union High school gridmen, under the guidance of Anaheim's Roy Merk turned in a five won and two lost record for the 1950 season according to a report today from the Cambria institution. Merk, formerly recreation director for the city of Anaheim and longtime light in the local recreation picture, moved to Cambria this fall for his first full-time teaching assignment following completion of his schooling. He now makes his home in the beach town north of San Luis Obispo with his wife Rose and son Hill. Merk is retained as both a teacher and a coach at Coast Union High School. Three others are also on the doubtful list—guard Garrell Rodman, tackle Frank Torres, and left half Leonard Oakley. Should Oakley, Negrete, and Peralta all be unable to play, it would certainly put a dent in the Saint attack since it takes away both of the key ball carriers in the single wing. Comparative scores also give Anaheim an edge. Both teams lost to Newport Harbor by three touchdowns, but take away half a dozen Colonist fumbles and that one would have been closer. Against their only other common foe—Huntington Beach—Anaheim were banged up pretty badly in last week's game with Huntington Beach. Either or both might be ready for some action tonight, but Cole isn't banking on it. On the other hand, the Colonists will probably do best to take to the air themselves. They have had a drought of offense in their last two games, making only 10 first downs. A mere two were made against Newport, neither of them by running. The only loss in this bed of thorns had been Leonard Weaver who has rushed for 187 yards in the two games. Despite this impressive figure, the Colonists have not been able to put together a single sustained drive powered by ground plays. Passing, when used, has been extremely reliable. In the Fullerton game, Dickenson whipped the Colonists to their final score by passing, and he and John Steinborn completed six of the seven that they threw at Newport. New lift in style!
