2 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1950 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA BALL BALLS UP—Anaheim forward Jim Ball missed this shot in last night's Jordan-Anaheim game, but the Colonists found the range in the final period to win.47-36. Coming up too late to stop the ball is guard Dub Lewis.

Long Beach Jordan was the vanquished and the score of the ridiculous thing was 67-31. So futile were the Jordan efforts that the home towners could have quit shooting in the second half and Panthers still would have never caught them. They didn't stop, however, and although Coach Bill Hunstock swept the bench the score continued to mount as the Colonists ran up their highest score of the year. Hit Everything The Colonists must have had a phenomenal shooting percentage — from the opening basket by Augie Huesca down to the final free throw dropped by Red Masterson in the final seconds. Hunstock allowed 11 different men to join in on the chorus of "The Thing" and all of them hit the scoring column. Three players led the scoring parade with Huesca, Lenny Koh, and Bill Ames all nabbing 12 points. The latter two each got them the hard way with six field goals, while Huesca mixed an equal number of field goals and free throws. Ames was probably the "hottest" of the three, getting his dozen in the shortest time before being lifted for five personal fouls. JORDAN LEADS Jordan had a short, unconvincing lead of 1-0 to begin, but before they could again score the Colonists had rambled to a 13-1 margin. Harry Garner finally hit a field goal with only 10 seconds remaining in the half, but Ames provided a back-breaker when he took the throw in, fired a 60-footer from in back of the center line that creased the overhanging volleyball nets and plopped through. Jordan just sort of gave up after that one. Repeat Longles Almost the same thing happened in the second quarter: Paul Salazar hit a 40-footer less than a minute left and Roberts followed by flipping in from the vicinity of M City. It was 30-15 at the mission and this grew to at the third quarter. Hunstock, though using s, the final quarter was helped stop the scoring short of rename the team from the floor.

They were picking up horseshoes and hunting for clover Until Jordan the Colonists finally crossed over. —Ernest Albert, Lord Beyer. Playing like a hibernated bear, Anaheim crawled out of hollow log just soon enough last night to whip Long Beach Jordan, 47-36, for its 12th straight win of the year. Although the final margin was a seemingly safe 11 points, the Colonists were never allowed to relax by the Panthers until the final three minutes of the game. Up until the final session, the visitors had held* The sort of an edge in every point—as much as seven points at time—but a breath-swiping day of five straight field goals occuited by a pair of free throws finally did the damage for the Colonists. Lead by Seven Anaheim had never been able to pile up any sort of an edge because of its poor shooting. Had they been able to hit the easy shots, it would have been no game, the Colonists were missing in the simple lay-ins. This wretched shooting, plus worse passing, put them in hole at the outset when Jordan stepped out a quick 5-0 lead. Ronalkner's driving shot and a hook on a free throw by Grape Welch quarter. It then romped to a 18-9 lead and led 18-12 when Welch hit a pair and Jim Ball faked his man into the Fremont gym for a setup to make it 18-all at the half. BASKETBALL STANDINGS CITY LEAGUE W I.

A BASKET?—Yes, it was. Although Colonist Ira Webbe he had actually just shot and hit as the Colonists to their 12th straight over Jordan. Guards Dub Lewis ar This wretched shooting, plus worse passing, put them in hole at the outset when Jordan paced out a quick 5-0 lead. Ron Schmitt's driving shot and a hook on a free throw by Grape Welch tied it, but Anaheim didn't usually get the lead until after and one-half minutes when Schmitt's free throw made it over Jordan, however, pumped two baskets to make it 10-7 at the quarter. It then romped to a 16-0 lead and led 18-12 when Welch hit a pair and Jim Ball faked his man into the Fremont gym for a setup to make it 18-all at the half. Short Edge Welch's follow and free toss earned a fast three-point lead for Anaheim after the half, but the Panthers again took a lead—this time 22-21. It was the last time they were to be ahead during the game, although they were to tie it again. With the Colonists ahead 31-29 at the third quarter, center Tex Routt hit a free throw to narrow the margin to one point, but it was here that the Colonists went berserk, hitting everything that they threw in the general direction of the west basket. Fast Baskets Faulkner made a follow-up and Ira Webber a drive-in shot. Welch followed with a free throw and when Jordan took the ball out of bounds, Webber swiped it and scored again. Fouled in the process, he also converted the free throw. Faulkner again hit and when Webber followed in for another it was 43-30 with two and one-half minutes remaining. Coach Sam Keith then shoved in a few subs, but the Panthers were able to only slightly narrow the margin. Schmitt and Dennis Denny made free throws and Welch hit a parting basket for the Colonists. No. 13 Next Last night's performance left some doubt as to whether or not the Colonists would be able to get No. 13 when they return the game at Long Beach Jordan on Friday night. They shouldn't have too much trouble if they hit the simple shots that they missed with regularity last night. It is highly doubtful, however, that they can duplicate last night's game and come back with a win off a hostile floor. Keith, usually prolific in either his praise or criticism of his team's play, summed it up in telegraphic style last night when he... at Long Beach Jordan on Friday night.

They drew votes from sports writers in every National League city in which they performed. Walker, Southern Methodist's All-America of 1949, paced the National League in scoring with 123 points in his freshman season, making him the rookie of the year. Led NFL Scoring Besides running and passing the Doaker did just about everything expected of a triple threat back. He made 11 touchdowns, kicked 38 of 41 extra point attempts and made eight field goals in 18 efforts to tally the second best point total in the history of the NFL. He also passed, kicked off, blocked and tackled. Three Chicago Bears made the first team. They were quarterback Johnny Lujack who, by scoring 109 points, became the Bears best point getter in history, tackle Ahead to Kentucky Game, Score Wins Over Indiana The Big Ten team led, 51-43, with 12 minutes to play but six straight free throws pulled Bradley up close again. Free throws won the game for the Braves. They tried 35 and sank 28. The No.15 Hoosiers had a 25-18 field-goal mark. Bradley will carry a 10-0 record into the Sugar Bowl tournament against St. Louis (8-1) Friday night. If the Braves win, they will meet the winner of the Kentucky - Syracuse game. They're hoping unbeaten Kentucky makes it. The Southerners, No.1 Nant in this week's Associated Press poll, whipped the Braves, 71-66, in the same tournament last December. Three other major tournaments started first-round games yesterday: the Big Seven at Kansas City, the All College at Oklahoma City and the Skyline Conference at Denver. The All Dixie classic opens this afternoon at Rancho N.C. Clyde Lovellette of Kansas (6-1) can make points at will most of the time. The burley, 0-3 scored 30 in a 75-51 Jayhawk victory over Iowa State. That set a new Big Seven tournament record. But 6-4 Waynard Johnson of Minnesota (5-1) came right back with 38 points in the Gopher--74-68 victory over Colorado. He hit 15 of 23 attempts to break Lovellette's mark. Minnesota is the guest team and Kansas is the tourney favorite.
