Anaheim Makes No SPORTS MIRROR By the Associated Press Today 2 Year Ago—The St. Louis Browns hired Dr. David F. Tracy, a psychologist, to help their second division club. Five Years Ago—Army was voted the nation's outstanding football team of 1945 in the Associated Press poll. Ten Years Ago—Capt. Bill Wood of Army football team was ordered to active duty at Fort Bliss. Fifteen Years Ago—The New York Yankees released infielder John (Blondy) Ryan to Minneapolis of the American association. Hawkeyes Return As Big Ten Power NEW YORK (P)—Iowa’s basketball team, nearly as tall as the state’s prize corn, is back in the running for Big Ten and national honors. Colonists Risk Undefeated Reeves in 7 O’clock Prelim Contest Local fans, if they have any inclination whatsoever do so, will get a good chance to look at the 1950 O’clock night when they play their first night home game year, meeting the Santa Barbara Dons at approximate time. A Bee game will precede the varsity clash at 7 Tonight’s game is the first of two home-and-home for the Colonists over the holidays. The replay will come off Friday night in Santa Barbara. Next week a similar series will bring Long Beach Jordan here on Tuesday night. Not too Strong Although usually a powerhouse among Southern California high schools, the Dons have shown to small advantage this year and have even been knocked off by some of the smaller schools of Ventura county. It would probably not be out of place to appoint them as underdogs tonight. The Colonists, on the other hand, are fresh from winning the Huntington Beach tournament and still sport an unblemished record after nine games. Still, it must be remembered that most of these games were against Orange county teams and the Colonists have not yet tested any of the really strong teams in the Southland. Compton Trial Bullpen Refugio Finish One-Twelve Among NL Hurdles NEW YORK (P)—Two from the bullpen—Jim Hale, Sal Maglie, both of the York Giants–turned out to most effective pitchers in National League last season.

Between them, they we Hawkeyes Return As Big Ten Power NEW YORK (AP)—Iowa's basketball team, nearly as tall as the state's prize corn, is back in the running for Big Ten and national honors. The rangy Hawkeyes opened the season as prime favorites in the Western conference, and some Iowans boldly predicted they would win the NCAA title, the world series of basketball. First little DePauw gave Iowa a struggle in the opener before bowing; then two middle-sized powers, Western Michigan and Butler, upset the Hawkeyes, and away evaporated most of that pre-season buildup. Last night the Hawkeyes won back some of that regard, dealing Notre Dame its first loss, 63-60. The two tall boys, 6-8 Chuck Darling and 6-6½ Frank Calsbeek, scored 17 and 16 points, and little Fred Ruck, Jr.—he's 6-1½—helped them out with an outstanding floor game. Iowa went ahead, 62-60, on Herb Thompson's layup and stalled Notre Dame the last two minutes. The Hawkeyes played their best game of the season in moving up again as Big Ten contenders alongside Indiana (4-0), fourth-ranking nationally in the Associated Press poll, and Illinois (3-1). Our Wardrobe Is Always Ready Since We "Leave it to Ritz" It's wise economy to keep clothes repaired, cleaned and pressed, well in advance of unexpected needs. The Colonists, on the other hand, are fresh from winning the Huntington Beach tournament and still sport an unblemished record after nine games. Still, it must be remembered that most of these games were against Orange county teams and the Colonists have not yet tested any of the really strong teams in the Southland. Compton Trial Santa Barbara could provide that test, provided the Dons are not as weak as they have indicated in some of their outings. This, incidentally, will be the first athletic clash between these two schools this semester. A football game was scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, but that was called off when the Dons entered the GIF playoffs. Should the Colonists make it past their two foes during vacation, they will face a real test when they enter the Compton tournament after the first of the year. Compton has invited 16 powerful schools from as far away as Nevada, and the Colonists have drawn Long Beach Poly as their first foe on Jan. 3, opening day. Starting Fives For tonight's game, Coach Sam Keith will probably stick with his regular starting five of Ira Webber and Jim Ball at forwards, Ron Faulkner at center, and Dennis Denny and Grape Welch at guards. In the Bee game, Bill Hunstock will probably go with Ronnie Beavins and Augie Huesca at forwards, Dave Moody at center, and Bill Ames and Lenny Kolb at guards. Regular Bee guard Gayle Herbel has missed the past two games because of a hand injury that required three stitches, but he may be ready for some action tonight if Hunstock decides to use him. Hornets Win First On Road Over SD Fullerton's touring Hornets won the first or three road games that they will play this week, downing San Diego junior college last night by a 61-51 count. Hank Fuller led the scoring, hitting 20 points from his center position for the Knights.

His teammate, Maglie, with his trousers thin on the bench for half the campaign produced the circuit's high ning percentage with 18 and four defeats for .818. Between them, they were both the important pitching excellence—early average and winning per Maglie was second to ERA with 2.71. Hearn Maglie in the percentage 11-4 for .733. Hearn towering right from Atlanta, Ga., spent months of the campaign doing little pitching chores in Cardinals. In mid-season she snuffed him off to the Gai waiver price of $10.

Glum memories of the trip were recalled this morning team members Jerry Schmitz, Don Liebhart and Hugh Faulkner. Pepperdine Trio Back From East To Recover From Disastrous Tour "We ate well, slept well, and lost well." BASKET STANDING CITY LEA OVER THE WAVES—That's the way all of their Eastern toes went on a recent tour perdine college basketball team. Glum memories of the trip were recalled this morning by team members Jerry Schmitz, Don Liebhart and Hugh Faulkner. Pepperdine Trio Back From East To Recover From Disastrous Tour "We ate well, slept well, and lost well." That was the capsule summation of the recent Eastern invasion by Pepperdine college by Jerry Schmitz, Don Liebhart and Hugh Faulkner—three Anaheim members of the Wave basketball team. It was a disastrous campaign for the Waves, picked in pre-season polls as one of the top quintets of the country. During their tour they lost to Hamline 69-58, Westminster 81-52, Duquense 84-50, West Texas State 70-60, and Marshall 74-71. Couldn't Hit "We just couldn't make a hoop," was the way Liebhart explained the series of losses. "We managed to work the ball in our hands, but when we got back to where they were even bigger than we were, we had to shoot the long ones." Surprisingly, the trio picked Hamline as the best team that they faced while in the East. The Pipers lost Cal Haskins, their all-America forward this year, but the trio was unanimous in its decision that Hamline has an even better squad this year. East Officials "We were a bit surprised, too, they said, 'at the officiating that we recieved at St. Paul. We figured that it might be tough because of the tournament game we played against them out here last year, but it was actually the best calling that we had in the East.'" The only squawk about calling came at Westminster where the Waves saw an eight-point half-time lead disappear into a rout. "They called everything on us and we were lucky to get the ball up into the forecourt. We got in some licks in the final two minutes, but those first 18 were murdered." Not Too Radical Calling in the East isn't too different, they agreed, but there are certain things that were overlooked. Nothing, for example, is called under the bucket. "Hugh and Johnny (Furlong) were getting slashed up at some places." Liebhart said, but Faulkner added, "We were doing a little slashing of our own." "They favor the offensive player back there," Liebhart continued. "Frequently they'll let a player walk with the ball when he's going for a basket or going to pass and they let other things pass when it's aimed toward making a basket—they call for the crowd's enjoyment." Punk Floor The Waves had good attendance throughout the trip, drawing from 3500 to 4500 to all of their games. The Anaheim was high in its prairie Marshall field house, West Va., but equally vociferous in the Duquense gym. "It's the worst flare seen. They have big and before our game Dukes, Coach Duckus, 'Don't dribble on naturally each of us.'

The trio crecled three limits for their efforts, among which were the whoppers shown above. The largest went 22 inches.

Against Santa Barbara TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1950 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Kentucky No. 1 Cage Team In First 1950 AP Balloting NEW YORK (AP)—It looks as if Kentucky has a 24-carat basketball team to match its new $4 million field house. At least, the nation’s sports writers and sportscasters think so. Yesterday they voted the unbeaten Wildcats the No. 1 position in the first weekly Associated Press poll. Kentucky was given 93 of 165 first-place votes for 1451 points. Bradley, winner of last season's final poll, placed second with 20 top ballots and 1320 points. North Carolina State was third, with 20 first-place votes, and 1105 points. These were the only teams earning 1000 or more points. In order, the rest of the top 10 was Indiana, Oklahoma A & M, CCNY, Long Island, Missouri, UCLA and Toledo. Coach Adolph Rupp obviously has brought his Kentucky squad a long way since that lopsided 89-50 loss to CCNY in the National Invitation tournament last March. The Wildcats have chalked up five straight victories, including a stunning 68-39 romp over Kansas last Saturday. Next on the list for the blue grass lads is St. John's of Brooklyn,' ranked 13th, at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. Top Ten Team Points Records 1.
