Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1950 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Anaheim Cage Opener Two Weeks Away To coin a phrase, "It's later than you think," and in just two weeks the top comes off the local basketball season when Sam Keith's Colonists open in the Anaheim gym against Valencia. The 1950-51 schedule lists 20 games and two tournaments to test a quintet that many railbirds opine may be one of the best in Anaheim history. Although after-school practice sessions will not start until the end of football season, the team has been working out for about an hour a day since shortly after the opening of school. The games are evenly split—10 pre-league games coming before the Sunset loop opener with Huntington Beach on Jan. 12: Besides the 20 games, the Colonists will play in the Huntington Beach tournament starting on Dec. 13, which will be played in the Anaheim gym; and in the Compton tournament, starting Jan. 3. Naturally, the possibility also remains that the Colonists could get into the CIF playoffs, provided they win the Sunset League title. Although the first game is yet two weeks away, Keith has already expressed fear of overconfidence. "We're already CIF champs," he moaned yesterday, "if you believe what my boys are saying. It's no longer a question of when we play, but merely who we play in the finals for the championship." The Bee team, which will play mostly preliminaries, has lined up a 17-game schedule, and will be the host for a class B tourna-ment commencing on Dec. 5.

By JACK HAND NEW YORK (AP)—It says here Rocco (Rocky) Graziano, the boxer, will address members of the Wally Wanger dancing school on physical fitness at 4 p.m. so you go. Graziano, a dead end kid from the lower East side, never went to dancing school. But it seems his daughter, Audrey, 5, does. So do several others with assorted proud mommas. The kids, dressed in snazzy brown outfits with "Wanger" across the front, posed with the Rock for the TV cameramen. From time to time, the Rock clanged through a doorway to see a few fugitives from "the beach" watching him. He waved gaily but looked embarrassed. He did a few tap steps. Danced with his comely blonde wife. Ruffled his teddy bear haircut. Fingered his red bow tie. At the bid of teacher, the youngsters sat down on the polished floor, forming two lines. The guest speaker waited outside. Out in the hall the Rock passed the time of day with the hangers on. “What'll I tell them?” he said: “How to fight? Stay away from pool halls?” Nobody volunteered any help. So he walked into the dance room to make his address. “Now children I want ya to keep quiet,” he said as an opener. “Listen,” he said. “Dancing is very, very good for you. Especially for boys.” “When I was a little boy I thought dancing made a sissy out of you. Nothing to it.” “I want you to be good little boys and girls and one of these days maybe you'll be a movie star or somethin'.” A small voice in the audience spoke out in protest. “So you don't want to be that?” said Graziano. “That's all I can tell 'em. What more?" “Any questions?” somebody asked. “How long did your last fight last?” asked a bright-eyed young boy of 5 or 6. “It went 10 rounds,” Graziano answered, sadly it seemed. LOUIS TSQUTSOUVA Musick, who then preceeded lead the Pirates to two st cellar berths. Tsoutsouvas, a Santa Ban, first happened to Ventura 1941. The T formation was a pretty novel thing, but he it in operation and led the B to second place in the Metro the highest finish that the B had ever enjoyed in any sport. He was beaten out of the by a club that many consider of the strongest jaysee test the Jackie Fellows-led Los Angeles city college team of 12. Ventura didn't even attempt play football during the years, and Tsoutsouvas was in service. When he came in 1946, he stepped into what probably the toughest jaysee in the country. The jaysee, because of its pleasant habit of losing, did attract many of the high stars, who chose instead directly to college. Perhaps most famous present-day ball-playing graduates are Meyers, fulback for the Delphia Eagles, and V. T. Sm the Rams. But neither p football at VIC. YOUR PONTIAC DEALER TODAY!

It's impossible to recall of them, but some of the players who performed and went some stardom in college were Jessup of Long Beach, Paul Murty of Long Beach, Johnney of Compton, Don Roger Compton, and Jack Dwyer LACC. At least four players of time are now playing or played professional football Compton's Bev Wallace with 49ers, Pasadena's Jack Nix with the 49ers, Compton's Bob Browne with the Rams, and LACC's Stansauk with Green Bay. After his contract wasn't paid up at Ventura, Tsoutso coached two years at Humble State before coming to Orlando this year. Incidentally, he applied for the Anaheim vacancy when it was open this year, so Friday's game pits two teams coached by men who didn't get the Anaheim job.

BEYERLINES by Ernie Beyer Louis Tsoutsouvas, who is currently coaching at Orange high school, is a newcomer to the county, but he certainly is no danger to at least one person known here and it would probably take this tale incomplete not to that that one person is me. We first mixed in 1946 at Venice junior college where one of us was a football coach and the other was a student. You may guess which was which. Actually, once I last saw him, although I might a fleeting glimpse of the back of his head at the Fullerton touchdown club on Monday night. Two years ago was when they were Tsoutsouvas (it's pronounced too-choo-vas, although he was actually dubbed "Chooch") the chance in Ventura for the simple season that they didn't think his team was winning football games even enough. During his years at what was the smallest member of the Metropolitan and later the Western States conference, he always had Pirates somewhere around the middle of the standings, but that wasn't high enough for his years. As a result, they tied the Olszewski Tops PCC Ground Gainers; Heinrich, McColl Set New Records LOS ANGELES (P)—Johnny Olszewski of California has taken over the lead in rushing in the Pacific Coast conference. Statistics released by the PCC commissioner yesterday show Johnny has carried the ball 111 times this fall and gained 778 yards. Hugh McElhenny of Washington slipped to second place with a total of 725 yards. Don Heinrich of Washington boosted his total of completed passes to 102, far beyond the record of 87 set last season by Jim Powers of SC. Heinrich also set a new pass-yardage mark of 1372, topping Powers' record of 1215 in 1949. Bill McColl of Stanford broke PCC records for number of pass receptions and yards gained from receiving! He now has 34 for 623 yards, against the previous record of 31 catches set jointly by Darrell Robinson of Oregon and Ray Bauer of Montana. Tempe Sets Yard Gaining Pace, But Nebraska Moves Up Quickly NEW YORK (AP)—Arizona State of Tempe still rates No. 1 among the major colleges in yard gaining but Nebraska, moving up fast, may take over the lead before long. In three weeks, the Cornhuskers, paced by flashy Bobby Reynolds, have piled up 1668 yards to zoom from 32nd to fourth place. According to statistics released today by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau, Tempe, with Whizzer White showing the way, is first in total offense with an average of 476.8 yards per game. The Southwesterners also top the majors in rushing offense with an average of 357.5 per game. Nebraska, however, has been getting better every week. Three games ago, against Kansas, the Cornhuskers cracked through for 512 yards. Next, against Missouri, they rolled for 552. Last Saturday, in demolishing Kansas State, 49-21, the Huskers racked up 604 yards. This has upped Nebraska's total offense average to 438.7 yards and its rushing offense average to 351.3, second to Tempe. Princeton's all-conquering Tigers are second in total offense (468) and third in rushing (345.6). The Tigers are led by dashing Dick Kazmaier. The Tigers are first in scoring with an average of 41.3 markers per game. Ohio State is second with 39.4. College of Pacific is tenth in total offense (399) and ninth in Rushing offense (282.9). Loyola of California is ninth in points per game (32.9). Southern Methodist's aerial artists continued their fast pace. SPORTS MIRROR By the Associated Press Today a year ago—Notre Dame, with 1592 votes, topped the weekly AP football poll, with Oklahoma second and California third. Five years ago — Jake Northrup, 47, former big league pitcher, died. Ten years ago—Al Davis was disqualified in the second round of his bout with Fritzie Zivic for repeated low blows. Fifteen years ago—Sixto Escobar whipped Lou Salica in 15 rounds at New York to win the NBA bantam weight title. Yankee Martin Receives Greetings OAKLAND (AP)—Billy Martin, utility infielder for the New York Yankees, has received notice from talking about the League's request to from the major league proposal has been made Coast League in a AAAA. It isn't expected to favor, however, with association or the League. The Pacific Association and the now are in class AA. The majors' draft will be held tomorrow morning and farm officials hope opportunity to scan hundreds of minor leagues eligible to be drafted. May Pick V If custom is follown't be much more drafted. Last year 21 picked from the list, sidered possible, how PCC Says Compton Plays 'Dirty' PASADENA (AP)—Pasadena City College is breaking off athletic relations with Compton College after charging the Tartars with dirty football. Assistant Principal Edward H. Rowins of Pasadena made public a letter he sent to Dr. Stuart McComb, president of Compton, in which the charges were hurled following Compton's 47-27 win over Pasadena last Thursday night. Rowins said he personally complained to Compton Coach Tay Brown at half time, but that "personal fouls and other illegal play" continued. He accused the Tartars of "manifest lack of sportsmanship." PCL, Radio-TV, Minor Draft Topics at 'Hot Stove' Confab CINCINNATI (AP)—They'll be shoveling on the coal in baseball's "hot stove league" here for the next two days. Club owners, farm system heads, scouts, managers and a scattering of players began rolling in today for a series of meetings that will cover both major leagues and the American association. The top affairs will be held tomorrow. First will be the annual draft by the major leaguers of players from the minor loops. Then will come separate meetings for directors of the American and National Leagues and a joint session of both organizations to decide what to do with $975,000 derived this year from the sale of World Series radio and television rights. AA Huddles The draft and the joint meetings will be held with baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler and Secretary of Baseball Walter Mulbry. Even before that, however, the American association directors will be in a huddle. President Bruce Budley called a meeting of the Midwestern class AAA minor loop for today. He said it was for the purpose of figuring out the 1951 schedule. Don't Like AAAA There was immediate speculation, however, as to whether the association might do some official talking about the Pacific Coast League's request to be exempt from the major league draft. One proposal has been made to put the Coast League in a new class AAAA. It isn't expected to find much favor, however, with either the association or the International League. The Pacific Coast, the Association and the International now are in class AAAA. The majors' draft meeting will be held tomorrow. Few more of the older players might be grabbed off this time as "insurance" against loss of young athletes to the armed forces. The disposal of the radio-TV World Series money is the knotty problem to come before the joint major league gathering. Some of the players have been asking that part of the money be divided up among the first four finishers in each league. Originally, it was intended that the money go into the player pension fund. Gator Bowl List Drops Two Teams JACKSONVILLE (AP) — Chairman Edgar Jones of the Gator Bowl selection committee says "Texas and Oklahoma have been taken off the list" of possible contenders here New Year's Day "because of their probable selection to the Sugar and Cotton Bowls." Still on the probable list were: Clemson, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and Lee, Southern Methodist, Nebraska, Wyoming and Miami. Texas U. Guard Named 'Lineman' NEW YORK (AP) — After two successive weeks that saw Pacific Coast conference players win, this week's Associated Press Lineman Texas U. Guard Named 'Lineman' NEW YORK (AP) — After two successive weeks that saw Pacific Coast conference players win, this week's Associated Press Lineman of the Week award was snared by a Southwest conference lineman—Lewis "Bud" McFadin, Texas guard. The nod went to McFadin for his sterling play against Baylor, a nip and tuck game won by Texas, 27-20. Linemen nominated this week included guard Les Richter of California.
