2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ANAHEIM, CAL Newport-Colonist Game Moved Forward Anaheim Gets Comeback Opportunity The comeback trail looms before them today, and it's squarely up to the Colonists as to whether or not they choose to take it. They will be presented with the first part of a two-pronged opportunity to advance when they face Newport Harbor in the Anaheim gym at 4:30. This will be ceded by a Bee game at 3 o'clock. Although the Tars won the last meeting between the two teams, they will be better than an even bet over the Colonists tonight. Anaheim might even be slight edge were it not pleted physically. Newport was barely whip the Colonists in the coast, pulling it out. Colonist Coach Sam said today that Anaheim consented to move the scheduled game up to afternoon at Newport's. He said that the Sailors asked for the change because of severe fogs that had rolling in lately at night. final minute on a field free throw by guard Jake Tonight, however, the will have the advantage home court. The Colonists, though doubtedly not be at top for the game. If they are be a unique situation, $125,000 QUESTION—Although the Boston Red Sox signed Ted Williams to his second straight $125,000 contract only yesterday, some critics have already started hounding the most hounded man in baseball with the question, "Will he be worth it?" Many think not. Ted Ready?--125 Gs Worth CINA-CAR DRIVE-IN THEATRE Out Center, 5 mi. W. of Anaheim 6612 Lincoln Ave. "RIO GRANDE" Ford's New Thriller Starring John Wayne - Maureen O'Hara plus "WOMAN ON THE RUN" Starring Ann Sheridan - Dennis O'Keefe Adults 50c Tax Included CHILDREN TO 12 FREE BOSTON (UP)—Broken-elbowed Ted Williams, always tractable about his salary matters with the Boston Red Sox, today appeared to have retained his standing as baseball's only $125,000 performer. When General Manager Joe Cronin announced Williams' 1951 signing, he said his otherwise temperamental star was "well satisfied" with his contractual terms. Cronin also inferred Williams would be paid about the same as last year. The exact amount, however, never has been mentioned by any club official. But they, along with owner Tom Yawkey, have indicated Williams draws more than the $100,-000 the New York Yankees are reputed to pay Joe DiMaggio. On the basis of Williams' 1950 performances, most club owners would rate him in line for probably the maximum 25 per cent salary slash, even after considering the fact he injured himself in the mid-season all-star game. He played in only 82 games and wound up with a .317 batting average after totaling 106 hits, including 28 homers and driving in 97 runs. As the American League's most valuable 1949 player, Williams played in 155 games, belted 194 hits, 43 of them homers, for a .343 average and drove in 159 runs. But Williams' long absence appeared to help rather than hurt the Red Sox. When he was side-facing in lately at night, he doubtedly not be at top for the game. If they are be a unique situation, he have had at least one player missing for every game this year. In the league outing against Ilias on Tuesday, they went the distance while using other men. Jim Ball and Rel Schmier have both missed the final minute on a field free throw by guard Jake Tonight; however, the will have the advantage home count. The Colonists, though, doubtedly not be at top for the game. If they are be a unique situation, he have had at least one player missing for every game this year. In the league outing against Ilias on Tuesday, they went the distance while using other men. While a Colonist win naturally help Anaheim, it also be of definite benefit to Ana. The Saints, who eased Huntington Beach tonight, be propelled into first place Colonist victory. That would be a stage setter for Tig big one at Santa Ana. There will also be a little of scoring leaders night as the Sailors bring the top three pointmakers loop. Armond Nettles, who of the way up to last Tuesday now in second place ww points, two behind Santa Rex Babcock. Glenn Griff No. 3 in the loop, having 87 points. The best that the Colonists be able to present in retreating Sheldon Welch. No. 4 and Ron Faulkner. No. 6. Anaheim's Bees, who won Newport 54-23 the first should win just as handily and thus retain their first tie with Huntington Beach standings.

But Williams' long absence appeared to help rather than hurt the Red Sox. When he was side-lined in July, the club was limping along, well out of the pennant contention, with a .537 average. As soon as the versatile Billy Goodman, the current American League batting champion, took over left field, the Red Sox hit a terrific .721 pace and, for the third straight year, were nosed out of the league championship this week of the season. Meanwhile Williams appears from being happy about his physical condition.

SC Out to Hold Top Spot in PCC LOS ANGELES (P)—Southern California’s Trojan basketball players, paceetters in the Southern division of the Pacific Coast conference, launch a two-night defense against a Stanford invasion tonight at Pan Pacific auditorium. SC boasts a conferenced record of three wins and one defeat, while Stanford has a two-two mark shared by another rival UCLA. This is the last home series for SC and victories tonight and tomorrow night would be a boon for the Trojans, who play their last six games on foreign courts. SC goes against Stanford minus the services of such previously counted-on players as center Al Lamont and forward Byron Van Alstyne, suffering from injuries. Forward Don Eby, dropped from the squad a week ago for disciplinary reasons, was reinstated last night. Coach Forrest Twogood shifted Ken Flower from guard to forward, backing up regulars Bud Doly and Bob Morton. Bob Boyd will start at center and the guard positions will be handled by Tom Riach and Bob Kolf. The latter have held the opposition to less than 50 points a game this season, perhaps the best record in the West. Western Kentucky (14-6) ambushed visiting Cincinnati, 75-70, for the Ohioans second loss of the season. Cincinnati, No. 11 ranking nationally, couldn’t quite make it with a late rally. The Bearcats have won 12 games. Bob Zawdluk scored 36 points dh sparking St. John’s of Brooklyn to a 68-61 victory over hapless John Carrall. St John’s, No. 7 ranking, now has a 17-2 mark. Brigham Young (19-4) stretched its Skyline conference lead in drubbing Colorado A & M, 70-42. Bib Mel Hutchins scored 20 points for the winners. Long Island university (17-4) back home after four straight road losses, defeated Seton Hall, 79-67. Sherman White scored 22 points for LIU. Bob Barnett set a new four-year school scoring record as his Evansville Aces drubbed Indiana State, 64-45. He tallied 10 points to make his four-year total 1196, one point more than Gus Doerner scored in 1939-42. Evansville has a 17-3 record. Maryland froze the ball in the last four minutes to outlast VMI, 46-41, in a Southern conference tussle. Villanova (18-1), No. 8 ranking, took it easy with Kings (Pa.), 94-57.

He recent-nasked Jack Fadden, the Red coach, to join him at his headquarters in Florida to supervise exercises his injured elbow. Dr. Joseph D. Shortell of Bossie who performed the surgery the William's elbow, died in Miami last Saturday, and it is likely it was a severe shock to Red Sox belter.

More than 50 members of the AGA remained for the dinner last night at which new officers were elected and plans were made for this year's AGA tournament. John Shea was chosen as the new president and Dick Gay who has been the only secretary-treasurer in the history of the AGA, was re-elected to that position. Shea then promptly appointed Joe Scholz as the man in charge of the spring field day and Reafsnyder for the fall field day. April 1 was set as the opening date for the 1951 tournament. It is expected to last until late in May and will be followed by the spring field day. There'll Be Some Changes - M'Millan PHILADELPHIA (P)—Bo McMillin, the Philadelphia Eagles' new football coach, made it plain today there'll be some changes made in the National Football league club. McMillin, named to succeed Earle (Greasy) Neale in a surprise move yesterday, said he hasn't had much time to devote to long-range planning but that he definitely considers the Eagles a threat to regain the NFL title next season. Philadelphia won the league championship in 1948 and 1949 but slumped last season and wound up third in its division with a 6-6 record, the same mark McMillin achieved as coach of the Detroit Lions last year. There were many who claimed the Eagles, once one of the most feared football machines of all time, were "over the hill," that the club's star players were too old to win championships. McMillin doesn't think so. "We may do things a little di- PAYS OFF EVERY TIME! FACTORY-ENGINEERED PARTS PROTECT PONTIAC PERFORMANCE We want you to meet our all-star line-up of Pontiac mechanics.
