Bs Win at Bonita, 49-23, Tackle Burbank Tonight Playing with a juggled lineup, Anaheim’s Bees rolled to a surprisingly easy 49-23 win over Bell Gardens yesterday to advance to the second round of the Bonita tournament. Chances are that things will be a bit tougher tonight when they face Burbank in the second round. Burbank slaughtered Corona yesterday, pulverizing it 77-29. Lineup Change Coach Bill Hunstock once again elevated Bill Ames to a starting guard spot, but the principal move was the surprise start of Dave Moody, a little used sub, at the center spot and the shifting of first-string center Lenny Kolb to a guard spot. The shift paid off handsomely as Moody shared high point honors with 11 points and as Kolb contributed nine from his guard spot. Forward Ronnie Bevins, the leading Bee scorer, split the difference with Moody by also hitting for 11 points. Lancers Cold Bell Gardens, a good "paper" team, did not have one of its better nights in the opening round. The Lancers, who went all the way to the finals of the consolation round in the Orange county tournament, did not hit with any frequency, forward Ed Strickler being high with six points. Game time for the little Colonists tonight is 7. If they win tonight it will mean two games for them tomorrow.

They will either play in the finals or in a third-place playoff tomorrow night, depending upon their success in their first outing tomorrow afternoon.

Mrs. Johnson knows how to use a spoon to test whether boiling fruit and sugar has reached the jelly stage, but she doesn't know a Thoroughbred's fetlock from his forelock, and EOS ANGELES — The hottest Chicago Bears move in town today and may be intrigued to learn that the explosive Los Angeles Rams are favored to beat them in their pro football struggle Sunday. Their puzzlement will make things pretty well unanimous, because the Rams and the Rams backers are somewhat mystified how they can be favored over the team that has beaten them handling twice this season and a team not toriously mean when the chips are down. The chips are down, too, because the winner of this one raked in thousands of extra dollars toward for the athletes, not to mention the glory of going into the finals for the championship of the National Football league Dec.23. Advance word was that the Bears are in good physical shape for this playoff for the National conference title, which means that George Halas, their coach, expects them to put on a typical heatbreaking Bear performance. Big Joe Stydahar, himself a former Bear hero and rookie pilot for the Rams, has one giant tackled Ed Champagne, on the injury shelf, but the remainder of her herd "is as ready as we will ever be." The last betting price quoted here favored Los Angeles by seven points, which is double the amount named when such practices got underway last Monday. Stydahar injected a bit of mystery into the scene. He wouldn't say why, but he won't identify his starting quarterback until game time in Memorial Coliseum. Mrs. Johnson's Jar of Jelly Mrs. Johnson's jar of jelly was a fairly insignificant item alongside the exhibits of tractors, beef cattle and great-girthed Clydesdale horses at the county fair, but it afforded a treasured moment in the life of this California housewife, for the little jar of jelly won a blue. Mrs. Johnson knows how to use a spoon to test whether boiling fruit and sugar has reached the jelly stage, but she doesn't know a Thoroughbred's fetlock from his forelock, and she has never attended the races at Santa Anita Park. It was racing at Santa Anita and other California tracks, however, that made Mrs. Johnson's small, bright triumph possible. California racing, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 1951, now furnishes vital contributions for State, county and district fairs and expositions. Forty-five and one-tenth per cent. of all the State's revenue from racing now is devoted to the 78 fairs, expositions and livestock shows of California. Although racing began at now-forgotten California courses as early as 1851, it was not until pari-mutuel wagering was legalized in 1933 that the Thoroughbred industry became one of the most important parts of the State's economic structure. Just how important this industry is to fairs is best evidenced by statistics. In 1933 there were only nine fairs in the entire State. Another portion of racing's dollar goes to the support of the agricultural schools at the University of California and California State Polytechnic College. Twenty and two-tenths per cent. of racing's revenue is devoted to this purpose. A hundred years ago, when racing in California began, life was simpler and agricultural methods were primitive. Today new cycles of machinery, varieties, sprays, fertilizers and marketing programs are introduced to farmers by the fairs. Thousands of students who have attended the institutions racing supports become practical farmers, vocational agriculture teachers, county agents. They conduct research and experimentation that have helped make California the first agricultural State of the nation. Other benefits of the fairs and educational institutions which racing supports are acknowledged by state educational officials and agricultural leaders. LOS ANGELES TURF CLUB, INC.

CARL THOMPSON DWIGHT WHITING GWYNN WILSON Hornets in Semis Against Chaffey; Ventura Toppled It will not be Fullerton and Ventura in a repeat of their 1943 finals clash at the Chaffey basketball tournament. The Hornets did their best to make the replay, moving into the semi-finals last night with a 77-68 win over Mt. San Antonio, but any plans for Fullerton revenge were ruined when San Bernardino rallied from a 12-point half-time deficit to oust Ventura from the running with a 65-61 win.

Afternoon games in the consolation bracket pit Santa Ana against Santa Monica and Bakersfield against Cedar City, Utah.

Mt. SAC Tough Fullerton found Mt. SAC a tougher foe to crack than was expected, and it may have been an error in management that actually allowed the Hornets to win.

Time tempers all things, and experts who overwhelmingly gave it the vote to cart off the CIF title last week have somehow decided in that seven-day span that maybe Fullerton is not the greatest thing to come out of this county since the discovery of the orange, after all. "Compton by eight points" was their pronouncement this morning despite the fact that these same gentlemen were saying that the Compton dressing room had more horseshoes than Hollywood park after its narrow win over Redlands last week. Weight Edge The point quoters, however, are not without their reason. The principal one is a hefty 17-pound weight edge per man in the line for the Tarbabes. Fullerton's best answer to the 180-pound average sent into the game by Compton is center Augie Frownfelter, its heaviest lineman at 170. The weights then scale downward to Ronnie Doss and Bob Schade, a starting guard and tackle, who Anaheim Scratch Tillers Surprise After two days of heim’s Colonists had to into the finals of the L 49-46 win over Newpo The Colonists will whipped 39-29, in the advanced to that spot with a 50-46 win over Bell Gardenday.

SAC a tougher foe to crack than was expected, and it may have been an error in management that actually allowed the Hornets to win. Fullerton had frequently trailed and was knotted at 28-all at the 12-minute mark when Coach Dick Perry started pulling his regulars and inserted several substitutes. The Hornets immediately shot to a lead which became 42-37 at the half. With the first stringers back in, the Mountaineers managed to whittle this to three points, but Perry again used his second platoon and Fullerton got it up to 12 points. With Pete Hook out of the game on personal fouls and with Tex Thomas and Pinky Thompson each having four, Coach Alex Omalev elected to stall with a 10-point lead and the Hornets took the ball out of bounds five times on fouls in the final four minutes, safeguarding their margin. Big Scorers Thomas, Thompson, and Hook all had big evenings in the scoring column. Guard Dick Hammer, hoping to cement a repeat spot on the all-tourney team, was off his feed last night and was able to hit only one of his usually reliable one-handed push shots. He worked in under the basket in the second half, however, got several tips, and wound up with a crediatable 12 points for the night. Should Fullerton win tonight, it will play the winner of the San Bernardino-Long Beach game tomorrow night at 9:30 for the title. A loss tonight would put the Hornets against the loser of that game at 7:45 tomorrow night for third place. Weight Edge The point quoters, however, are not without their reason. The principal one is a hefty 17-pound weight edge per man in the line for the Tarbabes. Fullerton's best answer to the 180-pound average sent into the game by Compton is center Augie Frownfelter, its heaviest lineman at 170. The weights then scale downward to Ronnie Doss and Bob Schade, a starting guard and tackle, who come in at 135 and 154. Whatever shortcomings they have in the line the Indians hope to outweigh with their sparkling backfield quartet of Jewel Owens, Duane Pennington, Don Hudson and Doyle Duggins. All of them have shone individually from time to time this year—Duggins has the best average of the four, Hudson is the top ground gainer, Pennington, an all-league choice last year, appears to be the top passer, and Owens, all-league this year, is the key operative in the tailback spot of Coach Dick Spaulding's short punt formation. Tarbabe Vets Compton, however, is not exactly shorthanded in its backfield. It certainly has a great deal of experience with halfbacks Tom Ramsey and Ralph Kubota back from the starting backfield that was good enough to win the CIF title last year. Both are small, terrifically fast backs of the breakaway type—dangerous on any play. Ramsey, with 15 touchdowns this year, is the leading scorer and has sparkled in the CIF playoffs. Against Covina he ran for five touchdowns and last week he grabbed a pass on a 74-yard scoring play for the clincher in the Tarbabes' 14-13 win over Redlands. Compton Wins 10 Kubota, at 137 pounds, has become one of the most prolific ground gainers in CIF history. The lithe Japanese has run for 1007 yards in 11 games for Compton, Compton will boast a slightly better record when the two teams meet tomorrow. It has won 10 and lost one, while the Indians have a 9-1-1 mark for the year.

Colonist Coach Sam Keith had worries about giving his regars a workout last night as the cars battled bucket-for-bucket with Anaheim for the distance. The Colonists led at halftime, 28-23, with the Sailors just barely able to cut that margin by the end of the game. Rugged Games Armond Nettles led the scoring, hitting 10 points for Newport. Although an excessive number of fouls was not called, Keith termed it a "rugged" game. And he was quite impressed with the Tars.

And we gave it all we had each time.” “I’d sure like to know on what basis the points were spotted,” he continued. “I thought for once we'd be the underdogs and the players feel like underdogs.” “We're going at it on the basis that we have everything to win and nothing to lose,” he added. The two clubs, tied with 10-2 records, meet here Sunday. At stake is the championship of the National Football League's American conference. The winner meets the National conference champ. That will be decided by a game between the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles. The Giants' regular season wins over the Browns were by 6-0 and 17-13 scores.
