Weaver Activity Shows In Colonist Statistics Fullback John Steinborn still retained the top spot as the best Anaheim ball carrier per play, but it was only by the narrowest of margins as workhorse halfback Leonard Weaver shot to the fore in virtually every other ball packing department. Weaver was by far the busiest of the backs, carrying 72 times in the seven games in which he has played. He has gained the most yardage, has the best net yardage record, and is second in average with a healthy mark of 4.81. Besides Weaver, Steinborn and halfback Augie Huesca are also over the 4 yard-per-carry mark in rushing. Passing, however, still dominates the picture. Four Colonists have thrown passes and all of Reserve guard Bill Miller was lost to the Colonists for the remainder of the season on Tuesday when he injured his neck during a scrimmage. X-rays revealed a probable cracked bone, but doctors have applied traction and will again X-ray tomorrow to determine whether or not it is a fracture. them have completed over half their throws. As a team, the Colonists have completed 57 per cent for 659 yards. Aggies, Texas Submit List of Cotton Bowl Foes DALLAS (P)—Who's going to play in the Cotton Bowl New Year's day? The annual guessing contest is now officially open. Army, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Princeton, Clemson, Tennessee? What's your pick? Yesterday all schools still in the running for the Southwest conference championship were to furnish the executive secretary of the conference, Howard Grubbs, a list of teams they'd like to meet in the Cotton Bowl—if their team won the title and received the invitation to act as host club. Grubbs last night said he had received the choices of Texas and Texas A. & M., the two schools still contending for the championship. Baseball Leads With a Million CINCINNATI (P)—Bass top brass gets together to decide who gets the most dollars. And to boost some serving talent from the roster to the majors.

Enoch Peterson is apparently the best long passer, since his 22 throws have eaten up 361 yards, almost twice as much as anyone else. Someone finally passed Jim Ball in rushing on the Bs, the honor going to Dick Shields who emerged as the top ground gainer with 158 yards. Halfback Aaron Peralta and fullback Gary Wells also have a chance to pass the inactive Ball this week.

Buc Meyer Safe -- For a While PITTSBURGH (AP) — Branch Rickey, Billy Meyer and the Pittsburgh Pirates are still one big and at least temporarily happy family today. Ever since Rickey—former general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers—was named executive vice president of the Pirates recently, the rumors have been flying that Meyer was out as Pittsburgh manager. The Pirates finished in last place this year. The hot stove league experts felt Rickey would dispose of Meyer's future one way or another yesterday before leaving to attend the minor league draft meeting at Cincinnati. Rickey and Meyer had a private confab and Meyer later announced "I'm still in the driver's seat" but added "I really don't know for how long."

Center Anaheim Baseball Leaders Decide Today What to Do With a Million Dollars and 5668 Players CINCINNATI (P)—Baseball's top brass gets together today to decide who gets the million dollars. And to boost some deriving talent from the minors to the majors. The million dollars really isn't million, but is only a pop fly of that figure. It is the $975,-100 derived from the radio and television rights at the 1950 World Series—and the odds are about 10 to 1 it will go into the player pension fund. Attracting heaviest interest around the hotel lobbies, which are densely populated with big league managers, general managers, presidents, scouts and farm directors, is the annual draft. A year ago the majors picked 21 minor leaguers at a cost of $102,500. This year 5668 boys in the bushes are on the block, including 238 listed as "bonus" players. Branch Rickey, new boss of the Pittsburgh Pirates, gets first crack at the talent under the reverse-order system which gives the eighth place clubs the opening choice. The Mahatma was mum on his draft plans, as was everyone else, but most of Rickey's rivals expected him to grab pitcher Omar Lown, pitcher Carroll Beringer, shortstop Russell Rose or outfielder Hank Edwards, from Montreal. Draft prices range from $2000 for a class D player to $10,000 for one from the triple-A circuits. Some of the baseball men predicted only 10 or 12 youngsters would be drafted today. While the $975,000 fund and the draft held top places on the day's agenda, preliminary gestures which might lead to some big league player deals probably were being made in the lobby huddles. Little in the trading line was expected here, but spade work was being done toward consummation at the big league meeting in St. Petersburg, Fla., in early December.

(Gazette photo by Bradley) Optimist International President Warns of Trend Toward Socialism More than 500 Optimists from all parts of Southern California gathered at Knott’s Berry Farm last night to hear George O. Browne of Indianapolis, president of Optimist International, voice the solemn warning that the United States is farther on the road to socialism today than England. Speaking on the subject "Opportunity or Security," President Browne provided for them, then our country will soon fall the way of other decadent nations in past history, the International President predicted. America is at the crossroads of either the road of rugged individualism and free enterprise, or the road to security, the speaker said.

Capable Joe Scott, a reserve defensive halfback, is in the hospital with a broken collar bone and will play no more this season. The accident happened late yesterday during a defensive scrimmage as SC prepared for the invasion of the Washington Huskies. Scott's loss was the second since the Trojans began to train for the Washington game, and brought to three the major casualties still plaguing the squad. Ralph Pucci, regular fullback, was lost last week with a bad knee injury, and halfback Pat Duff was previously put out of action with a banged up ankle. Back to defensive tactics went the Trojans today, however, as Coach Jeff Cravath hoped to devise means of stopping the feared air and ground attack of the visitors from the Northwest.
