2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Colonists Tangle With Dons In Replay in Santa Barbara SPORTS MIRROR By the Associated Press Today a Year Ago—Connie Mack celebrated his 87th birthday and said he'd be ready to start his 50th year as Philadelphia Athletics' manager. Five Years Ago—Ninety-nine three-year olds were named for the $100,000 Santa Anita derby to be run Feb. 23, 1946. Ten Years Ago — Sam Snead beat Rufino Gonzales, 137-142, in a 36-hole golf match at Havana for $5000 side bet by respective sponsors. Varsity, Bees Favored to Repeat Earlier Wins Over Northern Teams Coaches Sam Keith and Bill Hunstock and 30 Anaheim basketball players—15 each of the varsity and B cate—hopped a bus at 11 this morning and by this time she be chugging perilously close to Santa Barbara where will face the Dons tonight, the first game scheduled for Tonight's games are the second part of a home home series with Santa Barbara. The Colonists won both sections of the first part here on Tuesday night, the varsity winning 45-32 and the Bees triumphing 40-27. Off those showings, both Anaheim teams will undoubtedly rate as favorites for tonight's games. The varsity encountered some trouble before it finally subdued the Dons in the first meeting, but it certainly did not play one of its better games of the season. The Bees had somewhat less trouble, running up a large lead in the first quarter and then hanging on to it. Same Starters Both coaches are expected to go with their regular startings lineups. For the varsity it will be Jim Ball and Ira Webber at forwards, Ron Faulkner at center, Musial, Stanky Hog NL Limelight NEW YORK (AP)—The St. Cardinals failed to finish in first division for the first time 12 years last season but threw no fault of Stanley Musial. The great Redbird outfielder generally rated the Naples league's No. 1 performer, not paced all players in slugging tistics last season, but set a league record with his performance. The four-time batting champion pulverized opposing pitchers a .596 slugging mark to his nine-year major league Laguna Cagers Looking for Games Dale Whitegon of Laguna Beach today put out a plea requesting basketball games for "class B or teams made of boys 17-19 years old." Whitegon asked those on teams in those categories to contact him if they wished to schedule games after Jan. 3. He has reported that the Laguna team will have available the high school gym on Wednesday and Saturdays at 7 o'clock, and he is also willing to travel to play in other towns on other nights. Whitegon asked those wishing games to contact him at 20261 Woodland drive, Laguna Beach, or phone Laguna 44844. McCoy's Drugs For PIPES Pipe Headquarters Open Sunday ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO. MOVING - STORAGE General Trucking —PHONE 2123— 505 S. Los Angeles St. Anaheim Same Starters Both coaches are expected to go with their regular startings lineups. For the varsity it will be Jim Ball and Ira Webber at forwards, Ron Faulkner at center, and Dennis Denny and Sheldon Welch at guards. Hunstock will probably start Ronnie Bevins and Augie Huesca at forwards, Dave Moody at center, and Lenny Kolb and Bill Ames at guards. Gayle Herbel, regular starting guard, saw some service on Tuesday and may be ready to step back in after missing three games with a hand injury. If Hunstock decides to start him, he will probably move Kolb back to center and bench Moody. Moody, however, looked strong on defense Tuesday night and contributed nine points, so Hunstock may decide to go along with him. Jordan Next Week Another home-and-home series is on tap for the Colonists next week with Long Beach Jordan. The two teams will play here on Tuesday night and in Long Beach on Friday. The big trial for the Colonists comes after the beginning of the year when they take part in the annual Compton invitational basketball tournament, starting Jan. 3. They have drawn Long Beach Wilson as their opening Joe. After that, they will have only one more warmup game—with Pomona on Jan. 9—before they open league action with Huntington Beach here on Jan. 12. Stan's Record Musial pounded out 331 bases in 146 games, including doubles, seven triples and 28 runs. He scored 105 runs and tied in 109. Stan also drew bases on balls and struck out 36 times. The official statistical file released yesterday, also skimming Eddie Stanky of the York Giants ranked second the most valuable player polygon.

As they reached downtown Cleveland after an early morning trip from the airport the temperature was 30 degrees and that was warmer than it had been all of yesterday, the weather bureau said. Coach Joe Stydahar declared that if the mercury stayed where it was, everything would be "OK." He added his team had brought along basketball shoes for better traction in case the turf at Municipal stadium stays frozen until game time Sunday. He said he did not think the Rams would suffer too much from inexperience even if the field remains solid. "After all, we did play one game in the cold at Chicago this year...and lost," he explained. He seemed to think that provided some of the experience necessary. Coach Paul Brown continued to groom his squad for a hard turf. The Browns have found that a "cement" field crimps their pass- By The Associated Press Oklahoma A. & M., the country's fifth ranking basketball team, collides tonight with a Loyola university quintet which isn't expected to offer too much resistance. Not as much, anyway, as the Southern California Trojans put up last night in succumbing to the wily Aggies, 50-48. It was SC's first defeat of the season. Loyola was soundly trimmed by Washington State in the second game of the double header at the Pan-Pacific auditorium. The Cougars, not rated in the same class with A. & M., caught fire in the second half and won, 70-52. The clubs switch partners in tonight's program, with SC meeting Washington State in what shapes up as the more interesting game. For the second straight night, Oklahoma A. & M., (7-0) staved off a rally to win. The night before, A. & M., squeezed past California, 36-35. SC, in losing for the first time, couldn't solve the Aggie zone defense and possession-minded offense. The Hank Iba-coached visitors just wouldn't let Southern Cal shoot from less than 15 feet away. Customarily, no Aggie stood out much, team play being the Iba ideal. Norm Pilgrim led the winners with 16 points. Sherman White tanked 25 points and Hal Uplinger, a Southern California boy, contributed 13 more as Long Island university laced UCLA, 90-71, last night in a basketball feature at Madison Square Garden. It was the fifth straight triumph for unbeaten LIU. Fancy shooting and a tremendous height advantage were more than the Bruins could handle. Leroy Smith, the midget of the LIU quintet at six-one, looped in 21 points. The setback was UCLA's third in seven starts. Both opponents are of the three offings are outspoken in port or attack. People have always felt that do just about as good three if they are coed and hard working and good knowledge of it.

Coach Paul Brown continued to groom his squad for a hard turf. The Browns have found that a "cement" field crimps their passing attack; making it harder for a chucker to get his feet set and for receivers to dodge defensive backs. The 1950 University of Arizona freshman football team averaged 50 points per game to its opponents' 6.7.

The directors were messing around with three officials on the final night. It's neither a new horror or original leda, but it still has been used so few times that it yet rates as novelty every time a trio limps out on the court. The idea back to it is to eliminate many of the fouls that some slicksters try to sneak in and thus speed up the game. There was one basic—and glaring—fault in the trial at Huntington Beach. Let us not say that the officials were incompetent, but neither let us say that they were among the best. Moreover, it looked as though they had not fully considered just what was expected of them in this job and they frequently found themselves out of position to make a call—and getting the angles for calls is one of the benefits to be derived from the three-man system. Both opponents and proponers "get tough at the start" theory. No matter how they're called, though, the official is in for a night of abuse. Call them close, says Keith, and it's "Now let the boys play for a while." Let mayhem take over and it's "Don't you know, how to use that whistle." The toughest type of call, according to Keith, is the fouling non-foul. In this type, one player drives for the basket with the ball, while the defensive player neatly goes up and blocks the shot. While they are in midair, however, Mr. Defense neatly hips Mr. Offense into San Bernardino county via Pomona. On this call the official gets it from both sides. Mr. Defense, depending upon his nature, will either come weeping back to the official and flip himself prostrate or will stand there with the look of a man who has—just been told his $100 win ticket at Santa Anita was mistakenly purchased on the wrong mare. In either instance, he will sob or roar, "I never touched him, ref, all I got was the ball. Aw gee whiz, golly, shuckums*" (*Aw gee whiz, golly, shuckums sometimes is made to sound strong enough to warrant a technical INGTON BEACH. Let us not say that the officials were incompetent, but neither let us say that they were among the best. Moreover, it looked as though they had not fully considered just what was expected of them in this job and they frequently found themselves out of position to make a call—and getting the angles for calls is one of the benefits to be derived from the three-man system. Both opponents and proponents of the three official workings are outspoken in their support or attack. Personally, I have always felt that two can do just about as good a job as three if they are conscientious and hard working and have a good knowledge of the game. But the thing that I will not have crammed down my throat by those who oppose three officials is the fact that "there are more fouls." Tut. In any given game there are a number of fouls and there are just that many whether there is one official sitting in a chair at midcourt or if there are two assigned to run stride and stride with every player on the court. The opposition stems from the fact that they are now tooting the whistle and "taking the game away from the boys." Certainly I am a freak among spectators, but I have rarely ever seen an official call a foul against a player when that player did not actually foul—or maybe give a good impression of one. Most "bad" officiating stems from officials not calling fouls. Flip the ball up, wave the substitutions in, and call time outs—these are apparently the chores that most spectators wish to see officials fulfill. They will be giving the game back to the boys and the boys, who will be black, blue, and tattered, will be lucky to number enough at the end of the game to finish. It has always been the contention here that if you call them tough at the beginning of the game the players realize from the start that they'll have to play it clean. Let them get away with something at the start and you have to let them get away with it all during the game.
