Colonists Wind Up F Brothers Enemies, Brothers Friends In Alumni Contest As has been mentioned before, it will be brother against brother when the Colonists square off against an alumni squad here Tuesday night, but it's also going to be brother with brother during the game. The contest, scheduled for 8 p.m., is a benefit game for the March of Dimes campaign. The brother vs. brother angle, of course, comes from the two Faulners, Hugh and Ron. The brother - with - brother act will come on the alumni team where the Schmitz twins—Jim and Jerry—will team together at forward as they did last year for Fullerton Jaysee. JERRY One half of each brother set has kept the basketball tradition going for each family in higher education institutions. Hugh, the elder, and Jerry both are playing this year at Pepperdine. Ron, the younger, naturally is still in high school, while Jim Schmitz has forsaken the court in favor of home and wife. Face Winless Panthers at Orbe Bees Solid Choice for Fifth Unless it has a terrific public relations man, cult to see how Orange high school is going to be ab much of a crowd into its gymnasium tonight, for i ever meant nothing this one is it. The event, for the uninformed, is the end of round of Sunset league play, putting the rapidly de Anaheim Colonists against a Panther flye that is unable to descend any farther. Hostilities, if any, begin at 8:30, but there will be a preliminary B game at 7 that will probably be no closer than its successor. Drop Two To Coach Sam Keith goes the unenvirable chore of trying to whip up any enthusiasm among his players for tonight's game. Tied for the league lead just one week ago, they have now dropped two straight to topple into a third place tie with Huntington Beach. To add to his predicament, Orange has not been able to win yet in league play so he will not have much of a talking point in that department in an effort to get the Colonists "up" for tonight's game. Although they have a chance to climb out of it, the Colonists would be overjoyed to remain in their third place tie as long as they win tonight.

Although they have a chance to climb out of it, the Colonists would be overjoyed to remain in their third place tie as long as they win tonight. In order for that turn of events to come about, however, Huntington Beach would have to upset league-leading Newport—not an unthinkable happening, but certainly not an anticipated one. Not Lost Yet As it stands now, though, the Colonists cause is still not a lost one. In order to yet finish up there, the Colonists must win over both Santa Ana and Newport in the second round and the Saints must reverse their previous loss to the Tars (the two teams play at Santa Ana next time). Precluding any other upsets from the loop's lesser teams, that would leave the Salors, Saints and Colonists in a three-way tie for first. In the other league game tonight, Fullerton invades Santa Ana. An Indian victory would put a serious clamp in Saint pennant hopes, although a victory by Fullerton would be an upset of major proportions. Bees Good Bet Even if they are in a poor frame of mind, the Colonists still should win tonight without too much strain. The Panthers have shown little ability to score, Ernie Al-cantar being their high man with 28 points for four games and they have scared no one in league play yet this year. Coach Bill Hunstock's Bees rate an even better bet against the Panthers.

By ZACK TAYLOR ST. LOUIS UP—The fate of the St. Louis Browns rests on our pitching. If our pitching keeps improving, as it did toward the end of last season, we may fool a lot of people. Aside from our pitching, we are pretty well off. We have a fine crop of rookies coming up. Somehow, the Browns always have some good looking kids coming up each year. This year is no exception. We have a kid like Frank Saucier, a young outfielder, who has led three leagues in three seasons. Because we are strong in the outfield, we may have to convert Saucier into a first baseman. I have heard some good news about some other youngsters, but am in no position to say much about them. I do believe, however, that Bill Kennedy, the lefthander the Browns sent to Baltimore last season, is about ready. He had a fine year with the Orioles. I beieve he has gained the confidence that should make a winner in the big time. A couple of youngsters for Antonio might help us. Lou Sleater, a southpaw we got from the Giants on last spring. He had a go in the Texas League. An Brocopio Herrera, a Mexi who really can pitch. He will and lost twelve last year improving all the time. He star of the Dixie series, two important games. Bobby Young and Coobe should give us good section in our infield. Coomdratted from San Diego, they got him from Washington. He is a fine fielder and a hitter. Young, from what Told, is a whiz around second. He set some sort of a fielding ord at Baltimore last year hitting is a question mark. However, I'm not too worried about our infield. We have eran like George Stittweil former Yankee, at second base ever-improving Tommy Up short and our rookie prize year. Don Lenhart at third. We have lost Dick Koko hard-hitting outfielder, and Friend, promising infield the Army.

A check-up of the 10 major college conferences by the Associated Press indicated this today. All either have considered or are expected to bring up the question of using freshmen and varsity athletic teams. Undoubtedly the smaller college conferences are discussing the same thing. The rule, barring first-year students from varsity teams, went out the collegiate window during the last war. Scores of schools dropped football for one or more years during World War II, including such powers as Stanford, Vanderbilt, Baylor, Oregon, Princeton, Ken- Merk Cops Free Throw Title with 81 Roy Merk emerged today as the man best qualified to give the Anaheim Colonists a few lessons at the free throw line. Competing in the open division of the Recreation department's annual free-throw contest, Merk potted 81 of 100 shots to carry off top honors. Not only was it the best in his division, but also the best in the entire contest. The shooting was divided into five divisions—open, high school, junior high, grades five and six, and grades three and four—and the results were scaled down in exactly that order from Merk's winning 81 total to 40 for Bradley Harker, who won the bottom division title. The winners and runners-up in each division: Open—Merk, 81; tie between Wally Roper and Minard Duncan, 75. High school—Joe Lehr, 74; tie between Rel Schmitt and Duane Masterson, 76. Junior high—Mike Beach, 72; A. Herrera, 70. Fifth and sixth—Les Bigner, 67; Lorenzo Ramerez, 69. Third and fourth—Harker, 40; Clinton Stark, 36. Bradley Roster May be Depleted If Braves Make NCAA Tournament PEORIA, Ill.—(UP)—If Bradley university is tapped for play in the NCAA basketball tournament, it will have to use second stringers—unless a current rule is waived. All but one Bradley regular would be benched according to the rule which bans athletes with more than three years of varsity competition from NCAA-sponsored meets. The NCAA—National Collegiate Athletic association—can put aside the rule if it decides it is "asolutely necessary," a spokesman said. Hollypark Moves Opening to May 11 INGLEWOOD athletic teams. Undoubtedly the smaller college conferences are discussing the same thing. The rule, barring first-year students from varsity teams, went out the collegiate window during the last war. Scores of schools dropped football for one or more years during World War II, including such powers as Stanford, Vanderbilt, Baylor, Oregon, Princeton, Kentucky, Santa Clara, Tennessee, Washington State, Oregon State, Georgetown, Harvard, Boston University, Michigan State, and Mississippi. Others, more fortunate with the Navy-backed VI2 program which stressed football as a great body-building game for its fleet and air arm, carried through without difficulty. Hundreds of 17 and 18-year-olds packed the ball on the varsity in those days after Pearl Harbor. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Donn Moomaw of Santa Ana, the big linebacker, is the winner of the American Legion trophy as the most valuable player on the UCLA squad in 1950. league victories, the smooth-working Colonists should be able to clear the bench before the end of the game. The only possible deterring factor in tonight's game is that the Colonists may be looking ahead to next week's game. Having whipped Huntington Beach twice this year, they try again next Friday on the Oiler court. That's the one that could mean the league title for them and the third time would really be a charm. PEORIA, Ill.—(AP)—If Bradley university is tapped for play in the NCAA basketball tournament, it will have to use second stringers—unless a current rule is waived. All but one Bradley regular would be benched according to the rule which bans athletes with more than three years of varsity competition from NCAA-sponsored meets. The NCAA—National Collegiate Athletic association—can put aside the rule if it decides it is "asolutely necessary," a spokesman said in Chicago yesterday. Presumably several other teams could find themselves in Bradley's situation when the tournament begins. North Carolina State, a strong collegiate contender, has discovered three of its stars would be affected. A number of independent schools and some conference teams are using athletes now in their fourth year of competition. Most major conferences have been operating under rules permitting no more than three years varsity play. Bradley—fourth-rated nationally in The Associated Press poll—is a good prospect for NCAA selection. The Braves will be assured of a tournament spot if they win the Missouri Valley conference championship. Bradley has an 18-2 record and is running second to Oklahoma A & M in Valley play. The Braves meet the Aggies here tonight in a sellout game. The NCAA spokesman said the association could change its rules "if too many schools are seriously affected." He said the eligibility committee, headed by Pacific Coast conference Commissioner Vic Schmidt, would have the final word. Hollypark Moves Opening to May 11 INGLEWOOD (AP)—Hollywood Park has been permitted to move its 1951 opening date up to May 11 from the originally scheduled May 15. General Manager Jack McKenzie said the California Horse Racing board approved the advance of the 50-day meeting. In obtaining racing rights on Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12, the track had to give up two Tuesday dates. The meeting will end July 21. Taylor Optimistic Over Divided Pitchers Deliver he has gained the necessary confidence that should make him a winner in the big time. A couple of youngsters from San Antonio might help us. One is Lou Sleater, a southpaw pitcher who got from the Giants on waivers last spring. He had a good year reached his peak. I took him in 1948 as a green kid and he has improved each year. He still is far from his peak. He won 13 games for me last year but would easily have won 20 with a first division club. His earned run average was the second best in the league. A couple of youngsters from San Antonio might help us. One is Lou Sleater, a southpaw pitcher who got from the Giants on waivers last spring. He had a good year in the Texas League. Another is Procopio Herrera, a Mexican boy who really can pitch. He won eight and lost twelve last year but was improving all the time. He was the star of the Dixie series, winning two important games. Bobby Young and Merrill Moore should give us good protection in our infield. Coombs was drafted from San Diego, the club that got him from Washington. He is a fine fielder and a timely hitter. Young, from what I've been told, is a whiz around second base. He set some sort of a fielding record at Baltimore last year. His hitting is a question mark, though. However, I'm not too worried about our infield. We have a veteran like George Stirnweiss, the former Yankee, at second base; the newer-improving Tommy Upton at short and our rookie prize of last year, Don Lenhart, at third base. We have lost Dick Kokos, our third-hitting outfielder, and Qwen friend, promising infielder to Army. That will hurt us. Both the fine young ball players both would have been better in 1951. Don't know just how the rest of boys stand, from the military endpoint. Our pitching, once again, will involve around Ned Garver. Ned one of the best pitchers in the league, although he still hasn't reached his peak. I took him in 1948 as a green kid and he has improved each year. He still is far from his peak. He won 13 games for me last year but would easily have won 20 with a first division club. His earned run average was the second best in the league. I look for Roy Sievers to return to his freshman form after a typical sophomore year. He is too great a hitter to have two bad seasons in a row. That Ken Wood is another fine outfielder. He has the strongest arm in the league. He was out with injuries for the most part of last season, otherwise he would have been high up there for Rookie of the Year honors. My catching is pretty well fixed with Sherm Lollar and Less Moss to divide the duties. We also drafted Clyde Kluttz, a veteran receiver, to help us. As was the case last year, it should be a four-team race with New York, Cleveland, Boston and Detroit fighting it out among themselves. However, the draft could change the looks of things in a short time. Monday—Boston Braves. ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO. MOVING-STORAGE General Trudling PHONE 2122 505 E.

STANDINGS BASKETBALL CITY LEAGUE 2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Fullerton Swimmers Debut Against Powerful Texans University of Texas sends her outstanding 1951 swimming team on a long barnstorming tour this month, and all local fans will get a chance to see some fast swimming when the Longhorns arrive in Fullerton for a meet with the Hornets Tuesday evening at 8. The Longhorns have been consistently rated through the years as a swimming powerhouse and this year's squad certainly lives up to the rating. The squad is headed by team captain Eddie Gilbert, a member of the 1948 Olympic team. Gilbert was National AAU 220-yard freestyle champion in 1949; in 1949 and 1950 he captured the 220 and 440-yard freestyle conference titles. He swims the 220-yard freestyle in 2:11.2; the 100-yard freestyle in 54.5 and the 440-yard freestyle in 4:52.2. He is a sure winner in just about any freestyle event. David "Skippy" Browning was National AAU diving champ in 1948; last year he was runner up in the AAU and the NCAA championships. Roger Tolar sprints the 50-yard freestyle in 24.1 consistently and will be a member of the relay team. The team is coached by a former local boy, Henry "Hank" Chapman. He grew up in Anaheim, but attended Fullerton Union High school. He went on to Fullerton junior college, then to Texas, but he graduated from Roy Brown. Brown was rated All-American in junior college ranks in "only" four events—an outstanding feat. He was rated third in the 220-yard freestyle, which he swam only once and he also was on the All-American relay team.
