All Favorites Advance on First Day of Class B Cage Tournament There wasn’t so much as a single raised eyebrow yesterday as form prevailed in amazing quantities while all favored teams advanced in the first round of the Orange county class Bee tourney at the AUHS gym. Yesterday’s scores: Anaheim 43, Garden Grove 15. Valencia 30, Orange 17. Huntington Beach 36, Bell Garden 31. Tustin 31, Santa Ana 17. Newport 33, Capistrano 24. Fullerton 49, Brea 35. Jordan 37, Downey 27. Rosemead 32, Laguna 27. As expected, Huntington Beach looked the class of the tournament in the first round although extended by a scrapping Bell Gardens five. The Lancers trailed by only five points at halftime and narrowed the margin to two early in the final period. Much of the power came from forward Jerry Wright who tanked 18 points for the losers, the individual high for the day. Anaheim’s Bees tallied 43 points for, second high for the day, although the Colonists actually trailed 3-1 at the end of the first period. Reserves won the second stanza, however, 12-2, and Lenny Kolb and Ronnie Bevins led the hosts to 21 more in the third period. Should Long Beach Jordan and Huntington Beach both pass their tests today, it could provide the tourney’s best game when they clash in the semi-final round tomorrow. Jordan looked overwhelmingly powerful as it opened a 21-5 halftime gap over Downey. ATHLETIC CONSUL MONTREAL (F) — Argentine consul Augustine Nores Martinez regularly gives boxing lessons to the younger members of the club,ulate here. Recently he powered a boat 130 miles from Montreal to Ottawa, taking five days for the trip. Hornets Sting Vikings 74-64 The populous of Fullerton junior college was trying today (not too hard) to recover from a mild case of delirium that set in approximately 9:30 p.m. (PST) last night. For it was then that the scoreboard showed that the Hornets had notched their first win of the season, overcoming favored Long Beach 74-64. Deprived of their top two offensive threats when center Pinky Thompson and guard Dick Hammer left early in the second half because of fouls, the Swarm buzzed up 22 more points than it had been able to produce while losing the opener to Pasadena last Friday. It was a unique win. When Thompson left after four minutes and 45 seconds of the second half, Hammer moved into his spot. But when the quick-shooting guard departed some four minutes later, Coach Alex Omalev was down to using 5 ft. 7 in. Chuck Holloway and the not-much-taller Paul Hook in the pivot spot.

Held in by the fast breaking Tex Thomas, who dropped 15 points in the first half, the Hornets overcame a three-point deficit at 3:30 of the second half and tied it 45-45 on Pete Hook's two-hander. Holloway's free throw and a field goal and free toss by "Spur" Spurlock then sent the Hornets ahead 54-50—ahead to stay. Each team lost two men on fouls, but one of Long Beach's turned out to be a blessing. Center Eric Sothan fouled out with only 12 and one-half minutes gone, but guard Bob Smith moved into his spot and then proceeded to singe the nets for 24 points, high for the night.

Once again reversing the order, Faulkner led the Colonists with 16 points while The Grape squeezed through 14, 12 of them in the first half. Both, however, were looking at the back of Bell Gardens' forward Jack Bell who grabbed 17 to show the way for the session. It was a rough game with 34 fouls being called, but the Colonists moved to a comfortable 31-23 lead at halftime and widened that gap in the final half. Coach Sam Keith, stepping momentarily from under the grey cloud above his head, was encouraged by the show. "We looked better," he said. "For the first time we played like a team. Our break was working better. But..." Associated Press All America a Goes Two Platoon in 1950 ORK (AP)—The Association of All-America football 1950, for the first time, into offensive and defensive in key with the title of play, Oklahoma, Texas each placed two first teams. As a direct result of the two platoon systems, offense reached a 1950. A survey of the AP's top ten ranked that 15 years ago the leaders averaged 17 points. This year, with a balfry of plays sustained by 30 players, the average was 30. A new high mark for fury in a game before schools was reached when State beat Iowa 83-21.ensive backs who stood orgy of ground gain Don Heinrich, Washington passer and field geny Reynolds, sensation-a sophomore who led major schools in scoring 17 points; Everett Granite Michigan State back and 1023 yards against position; and Dick Kaz. Parilli of Kentucky; Eddie Talboom of Wyoming; John Bright of Drake; and Kyle Rote of Southern Methodist. Rounding out the first offensive team were Dan Foldberg of Army and Don Stonesifer of Northwestern at ends; Jim Weathcrall of Oklahoma and Bob Gain of Kentucky at tzckles; Bud McFadin of Texas and Bob Ward of Maryland at guards, and Bill Vohaska of Illinois at center. The All-American defensive squad that could contain the foe and pave the way for the formidable offensive array is composed of Frank Anderson of Oklahoma and Don Menasco of Texas at ends, Al Carapella of Miami and Al Wahl of Michigan at tackles, Les Richter of California and Ted Daffer of Tennessee at guards, with two linebackers to make up the second line of defense—Elmer Stout of Army and Irvin Holdash of North Carolina. Two-Way Backs For the three defensive back-field positions on the first team, men were selected best known for offensive prowess but who defense was built; Eddie Salem of Alabama, as skilled at stopping an opponent as in directing his team's attack; and Bob Williams of Notre Dame, a master quarterback always capable of taking the field to stem an attack. The same situation prevails for the defensive backs of the second team—Wilford (Whizzer) White of Arizona State College, Leon Heath of Oklahoma and John Dottley of Mississippi. But no possible rearrangement of All-America backfields can provide room for the host of brilliant ball carriers who starred in high scoring games. Chief among these are Parilli and Rote. Parill, a magician with the ball and a superb field general, led Kentucky to a victorious season marred only by the final defeat by Tennessee. Unfortunately Kentucky's schedule did not test the team's strength fully. Rote was outstanding as runner, blocker and pass receiver on an up-and-down Southern Methodist team. With so much emphasis on offense, it was only natural that All-America nominations should Duke, Bob Smith of Texas A Bobby Marlow of Alabama Johnny Karras and Dick Lovitz of Illinois, Byron T send of Texas, Chuck Ortne of Michigan and Hank Lauri of Tennessee. Compare With Best From this group it would easy to carve three offensive fields to compare with the best past years. The 1950 season was characterized by more than high offence after a long absence from spotlight, the Big Three came with a great team in Princeton the football world was shaken when Purdue upset Notre Dame to end a four-year unbeatable streak extending over 39 games and the south came back into football picture with some old-time strength.

Ohio State's Vic Janowicz will be honored next Tuesday with the KOREAN WAR Continued from Page 1 1,000,000-man Chinese communist army. This didn’t mean the attempt wouldn’t be made before the United States and its Allies might be compelled to use the last desperate and dismal device of evacuating all their fighting men from the Korean peninsula and leaving it to triumphant communists. Indeed, a statement of Gen. Omar Bradley, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, left a suggestion that while at least one evacuation move in northeast Korea was imminent the troops there might be shifted to help hold elsewhere on the peninsula. Bradley issued a formal statement last night after a senator had quoted him as telling a Congressional committee withdrawals of UN troops in recent days have put them in a position so that they could be evacuated from Korea if necessary. After seeing the published report, Bradley issued his own version. He said: “One report seems to indicate that I stated that a 'Dunkerque' plan is set, and that the wihdrawals by United Nations troops have now made it possible to evacuate them if the defense line cannot be held in Korea. Any reference I made to evacuation was in connection with the hard-pressed troops in the extreme northeast sector which are now moving back to a concentration in a beachhead. "Any reports other than this are misleading and merely speculation." It is common military practice to pull troops out from an impossible tactical position and land throw in air and sea units to harass the operation. While communist China’s surface navy is negligible, she is known to have at least a few submarines. The greatest menace, however, might come from her air force. She might use it to strike at evacuation beachheads as well as troop transports in the narrow seas between Korea and Japan. The red China air force has been revitalized during the last two years by transfusion of Soviet-made planes into its tactical units, and is now rated as small but modern and efficient. SOUTHPAW RACE HORSE MIAMI (P) — Left-handed pitchers, football passers, tennis players—and a southpaw horse. He is Piet, winner of four major stakes in 1950 and now being pointed for Hialeah’s big races. Piet runs his best only when whipped on the left flank, and actually pulls up when the bat is applied to the right side. “As a result,” his trainer explains, “I must use left-handed jockeys.” extending over 39 games; the south came back into the all picture with some of its strength. geographical distribution of first offensive and defensive teams shows that no one on of the nation has a mo-ly on the game, although midwest still has an edge.

Any reference I made to evacuation was in connection with the hard-pressed troops in the extreme northeast sector which are now moving back to a concentration in a beachhead. "Any reports other than this are misleading and merely speculation." It is common military practice to pull troops out from an impossible tactical position and land them elsewhere in the battle zone. It has happened on several occasions, in small scale, during the Korean war. Several Senators told reporters that the information Bradley gave to the Senate Foreign Relations committee yesterday was more optimistic than that he had presented at briefings over the weekend. While there was no elaboration on this reference to Bradley's optimistic hints, elsewhere [there was growing talk of establishing a holding line or of being able to retain at least a few precarious positions like Pusan and Inchon-Seoul. Difficult areas would be enhanced by the presence of the larger Allied naval force which could provide heavy and continuous manpower coverage to augment our forces and tackle adversaries. Although these minor talks and Bradley's statement none of it contained any direct denial that plans existed which could be used to smash out Allied forces if red China armies rolled over all Korea. Evacuation of 200,000 men would be a complex operation which could become highly dangerous if red China decided to All America DEFENSE Bill McColl, Stanford Blaine Earon, Duke Paul Lea, Tulane Wilmer Costa, N.C.
