As the few persons who daily cast their eye in this section know, Master Joseph Bovard Digles, a student at the University of Southern California, is the one who pinch hit here exactly one month and two days ago when the regular was busy demolishing a meleagris gallopavo to the north. Joe, emanating as he does from Chicago, takes it upon himself to be a sort of a good will ambassador to the Midwest from the Coast, and, while he's about it, he also brings tidings to the Coast from the Midwest. Currently in the spot where Christmases are often more windy than white, he pens the following missive: "Not being one of the believers in the suppression of the news, I thought it might be a noble deed to send out some dope from the hotbed of Midwestern sports . . . that wonderful city of the Wind. "The Ram-Bear game caused no little excitement in Chicago. Oddly enough, everyone here felt the Bear loss inevitable, but when it actually came about there was surprise registered. Crazy people." "I had expected over the honed out that way. And that temperature—people here just couldn't believe that any place could get that warm (92) this time of year. "In basketball, the Hawkeyes are supposed to be the ones to watch in the coming months for the title, but I think that prediction is off base right now. Hell, they've lost to Butler and Western Michigan. Indiana, too, is figured to have a powerhouse. The Hoosiers wound up fourth on that insane AP poll this week with a 4-2 record. SC's done better than that. "The team I see really coming through to nab all the napkins is Illinois (rated 20th by the UP's poll of the '35 outstanding coaches in the nation.) They clipped DePaul, which, incidentally, has some pretty fair country chuckers, 69-68 in the Stadium the other night. "Down baseball row, as Sam Balter's helpmates would say, the National League pitching records for 1950 were released to an unenthusiastic Cub following. Bob Rush, he of the 20 losses and 13 wins, topped the Bruin staff in the ERA department with a rip-roaring 3.71. Why that man is simply great . . . that work put him in the league's 14th slot in accordance with ERA figures. He's 20th in the percentages. "Charming Chuck Comiskey has made up with his mother for voting to toss Happy out on his smiling face. Says Chucky." Stanford Puts Unbeaten String on Line Against NYU in Madison Square Garden NEW YORK (F)—Stanford puts its unbeaten early season basketball record at stake here tonight as the Indians meet New York university in Madison Square Garden. The game will be Stanford's first appearance in the famed arena since 1938, when Hank Luisetti led them to victories over Long Island U and CCNY. NYU's team was beaten once this season, losing only to Colgate in four starts. The locals thumped Vanderbilt 87-56 last Saturday. The Indians dropped two other intersectional opponents, Baylor by 83-67 and Michigan by 77-66 in their last two games, but they were on courts nearer to home for them. If they get by NYU tonight, they face more stern opposition in their Eastern tour. Last Minute TD Earns South Win MIAMI (F)—Vanderbilt's Dean Davidson plunged over in the final 45 seconds last night to give the South all stars a 14 to 9 upset victory over the North in the Shrine's third annual charity football game in the Orange Bowl. The dying-minutes touchdown climaxed a fine display of clean, hard precision football witnessed by 39,132 fans. The South, coached by Andy Gustafson of the University of Miami and Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech, was forced to come from behind to turn back the Northern team coached by Yale University's Herman Hickman. Paced by John Ford's amazing passing and Davidson's spectacular running, the South scored before the first quarter was five minutes old. Mississippi's John Dottley plunged through center for the final yard.

Jim Stanton of Wake Forest tackled the North's Dick Gabriel of Lehigh behind his own goal line in the second period and the South held an 8-0 margin at half-time. But in the third quarter the Army trio of Gil Stephenson, Jim Cain and Jack Martin, aided by magnificent line play, brought the North back into the ball game. Purdue's Jim Janosek blocked a punt by Pat Fields of Georgia on the 25 and the ball rolled into the end zone for a safety. Minutes later the Army trio drove for a touchdown—with Martin plunging over from the six inch line on fourth down. Drake's Dick Steere converted, putting the North in the lead, 9-8.

Six other teams will go action later in the week. They Reedley, Palo Verde of Bly Glendale, Modesto, El Centro, Stockton. The tourney is sponsored jointly by the Glendale wanis club, parks and recreation department and Glendale college. Colonists Seek 12th Straight Onaheim Repeats Over Dons, 55-29 Even dozen victories in a game will be the aim of the Colonists tomorrow when they face Big Beach Jordan in their last stand of the year. Money made it 11 straight with a great win over Santa Barbara Friday night and can bow out defeated in the 1950 portion of their schedule by taking two this week in a home-and-home series on Jordan. After tomorrow's tie, the two teams tangle on day on the Jordarn court. May Be Tall Although nothing really defends is known about the Jordan Colonists, Coach Sam Keith has said that he expected a real test, humor has apparently reached that Jordan possesses one better who scales perilously close to seven-foot mark. That as it may, the Colonists have little to worry about if they can come close to duplicating the performance of last Friday. Dons, who had carried the ball all the way in the first meet here on Tuesday, were never lopsided 55-29 game. Hit Everything Onaheim, superb in its shoot-rebounding, and defensive kick, galloped to a 14-5 lead at quarter, widened that to 35-7 at half, and then kept on. Robinson Returning to Country Loaded with Victories, Money FRANKFURT, Germany (AP)—Flushed with triumph and money, Sugar Ray Robinson headed back toward the United States today after a European tour that netted him five victories and $45,000 in only one month.

The world welterweight champion polished off his last European opponent here last night with a fifth round knockout. The victim was Hans Stertz, former German middleweight champion. It was a non-title match scheduled for 10 rounds. The American Negro knocked Stretz down seven times before finally putting him away with a one-two punch after 30 seconds of the fifth round. Stretz Game Stretz was game. He charged Robinson every time he got up off the floor prior to the finish. But Sugar was too fast and hit too hard for the 22-year-old German. Today, Robinson and his entourage of 10 persons were scheduled to go by train to Paris. Tomorrow, they sail for the United States. At Chicago on Feb. 14, Robinson will make a bid for a second world crown in a 15-round title bout with middleweight king Jake LaMotta. After that, according to Robinson's manager, George Gainford, Sugar is considering going to Australia to fight Australia's triple champion, Dave Sands. Another Fight In New York yesterday, Al Weill, matchmaker for the International Boxing club, said Robinson will meet the winner of Friday's Walter Cartier-Gene Hariston bout in a March 10-round in Madison Square Garden. Cartier and Hariston, both New York middleweights, are down to go 10 rounds in the Garden's featured attraction. Rose Bowl Teams Go Back to Work PASADENA (P)—Back to hard work go the Rose Bowl teams today. The Michigan and California squads had a Christmas respite but respective Coaches Bennie Oosterbaan and Lynn Waldorf will crack the whip from here on until New Year's day. The Michigan lads, far from home firesides, had a two-way Christmas party yesterday. The Huntington hotel here had one. Then the Wolverines had their private Santa Claus affair. Each man got a dozen or so gifts from friends and alumni. The coach gave the boys the rest of the day off, but with a strict curfew at 11 o'clock last night. "We love this weather," said Oosterbaan. (It was 83 Sunday, 66 yesterday.) California's Bears scattered to their homes for the holiday. But they reassemble today at Arrowhead Springs, near San Bernardino, for the remaining five practice sessions. Waldorf appears to be pleased over the physical condition of his charges and the successful training. He goes as far as to say: "We are not tearful, nor are we cheerful; we're just sawing wood."

The score of this one was 39-29. Winners of their first eight in a row, the Colonists have now been able to win only one of their last three.

Strong Squad Local observers, however, know that Jordan has a strong Bee team—principally from its showing here in the recent Orange county tournament. It was feined in an upset by Rosemead in the second round, but it later became the most disputed game of the tourney. A recheck of the record books after the game showed that the wrong tally had been kept and it was very much in doubt as to whether Jordan or Rosemead, its opponent, had won or whether it McBride Says Browns Will Build, Expects Brown to Stay as Coach CLEVELAND (AP) — Professional football's new champs, the Cleveland Browns, are going to "keep on building and winning," owner Arthur B. (Mickey) McBride promised today. Furthermore, he assured a reporter, the Brown's coach in 1951 still will be Paul Brown, despite persistent talk that Paul might be interested in going back to college football. Has Best Job Still elated over the Browns' last 20-second 30 to 28 defeat of the Los Angeles Rams for the championship of the National Football league, McBride insisted: "Paul has never mentioned leaving the Browns to me. I think he has the best coaching job in the country. He's the boss and answers to no one. I'm not thinking of anything but having him with us next year." Will Go West Brown himself has not talked as positively as McBride about staying on even though he isference team in the first Pro Bowl game Jan. 14. People close to the team say Brown definitely will talk to representatives of the University of Southern California while he is in Los Angeles. That's only one of three coaches big schools believed interested in Brown. OSU Best Bet The others are Ohio State and Minnesota. Brown's friends say Ohio State still has the most appeal. He coached a national champion there. Brown could scarcely have asked for a more heart shaking victory than Sunday's defeat of the Rams, giving him his first NFL title after four straight in the defunct "minor league" All-America conference. With 20 seconds left and the Browns trailing 28 to 27, Lou (The Toe) Groza supplied the contest with a comic strip close by booting a field goal. Some of the 29,751 fans got so excited they tore down the goal posts, a ma- team—principally from its showing here in the recent Orange county tournament. It was feiled in an upset by Rosemead in the second round, but it later became the most disputed game of the tourney. A recheck of the record books after the game showed that the wrong tally had been kept and it was very much in doubt as to whether Jordan or Rosemead, its opponent, had won or whether it had been a tie. A huddle of the coaches and of the tournament director finally gave the decision to Rosemead, although scorebook evidence to back it up was never actually found. May Be Up Should Jordan reason that Anaheim is responsible for its being knocked out of that tournament, it may settle for a win over the Colonists as ample revenge. After their drubbing last Friday, however, the Colonists are likely to be up for this one. It Football league, McBride insisted: "Paul has never mentioned leaving the Browns to me.

Will Go West Brown himself has not talked as positively as McBride about staying on, even though he is working on a contract with five years to go. Brown leaves today for San Francisco, where he will watch the East-West All-Star game Saturday, then goes on to Los Angeles to coach the American night's game here, they could get none at all at Santa Barbara. Sometimes it didn't even help to get the rebounds. Bevins made five buckets from the floor while the remainder of the starting five was being held to one each as his contribution for the evening. ANAHEIM BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY was simply a case of the squad standing by and letting Dave Moody get all of the rebounds and letting Ronnie Bevins get all of the field goals.
