Anaheim Shares Title, B May Pass CIF Tournament Lynx, Lionettes Join New League Voting the old Western States league into inactivity, five women's softball teams yesterday banded together to form a new one to be known as the Pacific Coast Women's Major Softball league in a meeting at Buena Park. The new league, which will have Shorty Hill of Buena Park as its president, will include the Phoenix Ramblers, Monrovia Owls, Orange Lionettes (defending national champions), Fresno Rockets, and the Buena Park Lynx. A schedule was also drawn up at yesterday's session, with each team slated to play 40 league games. The arrangement calls for five home and five road games with every other league team. The Lynx, who will also include an eastern tour in their itinerary this summer, announced the following league schedule. It will be followed by the regional tournament to be held in Buena Park this year on Aug. 30, and the National tourney, Sept. 10 in Detroit. Winning their way to a CIF playoff berth with victory over Orange here on Friday night, the Anaheists today faced the very disappointing position of having to pass up the championship tournament. Colonist Coach Sam Keith made it clear this that the Colonists definitely will not play anyone this if the CIF sticks to its present plan of having both Orange county representatives travel to San Diego to meet the two winners of that league. Keith said that he would have no objection to a neutral court, but he feels that the pick of the CIF of Pt. Loma high school as a site is hardly neutral. Acting AUHS principal Frank Kellogg backed up Keith's objections. He said that he felt that if neutrality was not to be observed then a drawing for home court would probably be in order. Under the present plans, the CIF has merely arbitrarily named Pt. Loma as the court. The CIF has apparently made up the present schedule without the benefit of any study of geography. It puts the two Friday night winners in games at Redondo do the following evening. The Sunset league teams, therefore would have to make the long trip to San Diego on one day and then come all the way back on the next if they won their first-round tests. AUHS and Sunset league officials voiced their objections to Huskies, Oregon Knotted for Lead SEATTLE (P) — Washington's Huskies are tied with the Oregon Webfoots for first place today and a two-game series between the two teams this weekend could decide the Northern division Pacific Coast conference basketball championship. Coach Tippy Dye's Huskies moved into the first place tie by making a clean sweep of the two-game series with the Idaho Vandals the past weekend. Oregon was idle. Washington and Oregon have eight wins and four losses. Washington State trails in third place with six wins and six defeats. Each of the three leaders has four games to play in finishing out the season. The arrangement calls for five home and five road games with every other league team.

Huskies, Oregon Knotted for Lead SEATTLE (P) — Washington's Huskies are tied with the Oregon Webfoots for first place today and a two-game series between the two teams this weekend could decide the Northern division Pacific Coast conference basketball championship. Coach Tippy Dye's Huskies moved into the first place tie by making a clean sweep of the two-game series with the Idaho Vandals the past weekend. Oregon was idle. Washington and Oregon have eight wins and four losses. Washington State trails in third place with six wins and six defeats. Each of the three leaders has four games to play in finishing out the season. The scoring pattern somewhat followed that of the first meeting of the two teams at Orange. It was close during the first period, with the Panthers holding a short edge at some places, but the Colonists widened it slightly in the second period and then raced away during the third quarter when they ran up a 16-point margin. It was Orange frigidity, rather than Colonist accuracy, however, that enabled the hosts to pad the edge. Bob Smith pushed through a field goal in the second period and Ernie Alcantar and Glenn Lukenbill each got one in the third stanza, but that was the extent of the Panther scoring except for five scattered free throws. Ira Webber, meanwhile, caught fire for Anaheim during this third period to pace the spurt that He (Continued on page F) Hayes, Buck Co In Market for COLUMBUS (UP) — Ten days after Wayne (Woody) Hailey appointed Ohio State university football coach last night, heky lefthander said: "I'm looking for a back!"

Hayes, Buck Coach, In Market for QB COLUMBUS (P)—Ten minutes after Wayne (Woody) Hayes was appointed Ohio State university's football coach last night, the husty lefthander said: "I'm looking for a quarterback!" The six-foot one-inch 220-pounder, pilot of Miami university's Redskins the last two years, was the unanimous choice of the Buckeye board of trustees for the job vacated Dec. 9 by Wesley Fessler. Spring practice isn't scheduled until March 28, but Hayes mid-inter hunt for a signal caller was understandable. He's strictly tutor of the "T"—and Ohio has operated from the single wing the last four years. Hayes was handed a one-year contract at $12,500, a full professorship in physical education, and he right to name his assistants. His selection from a list of seven aspirants put an end to 70 days of guessing and gossipping, and put a damper on a "Bring back Brown" boom which had been rolling in high gear for weeks. Paul E. Brown, current coach of the Cleveland professional champions and boss of the Bucks in 41, 1942 and 1943, did not apply for the job. However, he appeared in an interview at the request of the university, and his backers were firm in their belief that he'd get the position. Apparently overjoyed at winning the appointment, Hayes lost time in getting down to business. He told representatives of newspapers, radio stations and news services: "I wanted this job badly. I consider it the greatest coaching opportunity in the country. The high school football in America is loved in Ohio, and we should get some good talent to help us sing." Hayes, who was 38 last Wednesday, plans a six-week spring season starting March 28. He'll have NEW YORK (P)—College basketball ball was rocked to its foundations today by the second big betting scandal in a month and by disclosure that "fixes" are being investigated on a nationwide scale. After three members of City College of New York's national tournament champions and three other persons were taken into custody yesterday on bribery charges, there were these swift developments: 1. Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said the U.S. Senate Crime Investigating committee has been probing this and similar fixes in other cities. "New York is not an isolated case," he said. 2. Dr. Hugh C. Willett, president of the National Collegiate Athletic association, said the matter is of "great concern" and will be taken up at a meeting of the NCAA council in Chicago March 1. 3. Ned Irish, director of Madison Square Garden, called the situation deplorable" and added: "Gambling isn't confined to the Garden or New York City." The three CCNY players caught in the web of the latest scandal are Ed Roman, Ed Warner and Al Roth, stars of the amazing team that swept to the National Invitation and NCAA championships last year for basketball's first and only "grand slam." District Attorney Frank Hogan said they admitted accepting up to $1500 each per game to fix three games played in the Garden. The games were with Missouri, Arizona and Boston College. CCNY lost all three. Arrested also were Harvey (Connie). Schaff, a substitute on the New York University team; Edward Gard, a Long Island university senior who played last year, and a jeweler, Salvator Tarto Sollazzo and Gard were accused of offering the bribes and the three CCNY players were charged with accepting them. Schaff was accused of offering a bribe to James Brasco, an NYU (Continued on Page 7) Gehrmann to Find Out If Wilt Is Flash or Has Materially Improved NEW YORK (P)—If Fred Wilt can run a 4:09.4 mile without being pushed, why can't he shave off a couple of seconds with some real competition—like Don Gehrmann, for example. Gehrmann has beaten Wilt every time they've met at the mile distance, but Don's best time has been 4:07.5. If Wilt had been pressed in Saturday's National AAU championships at Madison Square Garden, he almost certainly would have done better. Gehrmann, victor in 38 consecutive mile runs since he was beaten in the 1948 Olympics, will find out in the IC4A special this Saturday whether Wilt really has improved or simply had one good night. There wasn't much to the AAU race. Wilt took matters in his own hands at the start, and glided around the oval all alone. John Twomey of the Illinois A.C. hung on for several laps, but faded at the end. He got in second. Musial, Saigh Mum On 'Fat' Salary ST. LOUIS (P)—Outfielder Stan Musial and President Fred Saigh of the St. Louis Cardinals agreed today that Stan is going to receive a mighty fat salary this season. But both were mum on the exact amount, which may be near $100,000. After Musial, the National League's batting champion, signed his contract yesterday Saigh said the salary "probably is higher field for the post-season playoffs. For instance, the Westference probably will tonight at Champaign. Top-ranked Illinois (9-tains runnerup Indiana) the game of the week. Tuesday night finds (9-1) and Bradley (7-3) at Peoria, Ill., to see what gives pursuit to Oklahoma (8-0) in the Missouri Vierence.

Columbia, sporting record in the land, 17-0, if of at least a tie for League crown. The Lions past Harvard, 90-63, Satu if Cornell loses to either Harvard this week, it's over. Two other teams — Young and Arizona—are set to join Kentucky in this pionship fold any day now Ham Young (12-3) holds manding lead in the Skyyference. Arizona (11-1) is over in the border conference. Pity poor North Carolina The Wolfpack is far ahead Southern Conference, with record, but they must continue on Page 7. Class C Leagues in 10-Team Merge PUMA (P)—The Southwest International league, a 10-team organization, has been formed from merger of the Sunset and Arlawa-Texas loops. The new class C circuit, organized here Saturday, will include Mexicali, Tijuana, San Bernardino, Las Vegas, El Centro Yuma of the Sunset, and Phoenix, Tucson, Bisbee-Douglas El Paso from the Arizona loop. Germann, Victor in 38 consecutive mile runs since he was beaten in the 1948 Olympics, will find out in the ICAA special this Saturday whether Wilt really has improved or simply had one good night. There wasn't much to the AAU race. Wilt took matters in his own hands at the start, and glided around the oval all alone, John Twomey of the Illinois A.C. hung on for several laps, but faded at the end. He got in second. The fact that Gehrmann was grounded in Milwaukee and couldn't make the meet, probably enabled the New York pioneer club to win its first title in history. Don, was scheduled for the 1000, an event he was almost sure to win. As it turned out Roscoe Browne, the professor from Morgan State college, running for the Pioneers, won it in 2:14. In the record-breaking department, Jim Fuchs of the New York A.C. tossed the shot 57 feet 11% inches to beat his own 56-3%. Bob Richards of La Verne, Calif., for the second time in his career, cleared 15 feet in the pole vault. His leap was 15 even, an inch shorter than the first time he turned the trick. But he didn't come close when the crossbar was raised to 15-4. Parsons Victor In Pomona Race POMONA (P)—Johnny Parsons, Van Nuys, won by 10 lengths in the 25-mile AAA sprint event at the Los Angeles County fairgrounds yesterday. Billy Vukovich, Fresno, was second, followed by Freddie Agabashian, Albany, Calif. Parsons' time was 21 minutes, 55.1 seconds. ST. LOUIS (P)—Outfielder Stan Musial and President Fred Saigh of the St. Louis Cardinals agreed today that Stan is going to receive a mighty fat salary this season. But both were mum on the exact amount, which may be near $100,000. After Musial, the National League's batting champion, signed his contract yesterday Saigh said the salary "probably is higher than that paid any other player in either league." Stan was a bit more conservative. "What I think Mr. Saigh meant was that I'm probably the highest paid player in the National League," Musiah told reporters later. "But all that matters now is that I'm completely satisfied how things turned out, and I'm set to start training." A few days ago Musiah said he wanted $100,000. He had received something more than $50,000 a season the past two years. In commenting on Stan's new salary, Saigh said he used the word "probably" in comparing it with that paid other players because he didn't know just how much Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox receives. Last season, Williams reportedly got $125,000 and signed for a similar amount this year. Saigh added that he was certain Musiah would be getting more than any other player has received in baseball history at the age of 30. Musiah is the first left-handed hitter to top National League batters four times in succession. Last year he led the league with a .346 mark. He planned to head for St. Petersburg, Fla., the Cards' training ground, sometime this week. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA. Bees Capture League Title With 53-28 Orange Victory Anaheim's Bees, winners of the Sunset League crown, were one of 16 teams to be named to the Santa Monica Sixth Annual Lightweight tournament today. The Bees, possessors of a 21-3 record, will play there this Friday and Saturday. Other teams, most of them also league champs, include Redondo, Glendale Hoover, Long Beach Poly, Alhambra, Mt. Carmel, Cantwell, Valeneta, William S. Hart, San Diego, San Diego Hoover, Hemet, Lone Pine, Puente and Santa Monica. Ventura Junior high school, winners of 18 straight games this year, has been accepted as an independent entry and will probably be the pre-tourney favorite. Although not seriously threatened anyway, the Colonist Bees took advantage of an ill-advised piece of strategy on the part of the opposition to pound Orange 53-28 and claim the Sunset League crown here Friday night. The Bees had not been nearly as hard put as they were with their first meeting with the Panthers, but they still had been unable to run up much of a margin until Orange decided drastically upon the wrong course of action midway through the fourth period. Trailing by eight points, 34-26, at the time, the Panthers finally For instance, the Western conference probably will be settled tonight at Champaign, Ill., where top-ranked Illinois (9-1) entertains runnerup Indiana (8-1) in the game of the week. Tuesday night finds St. Louis (9-1) and Bradley (7-3) tangling at Peoria, Ill., to see which team gives pursuit to Oklahoma A&M (8-0) in the Missouri Valley conference. Then there's the tiff between Kansas State (7-1) and Kansas (6-2) at Manhattan, Kas., Saturday. A victory for K-State would, in all likelihood, give it the Big Seven championship — and an automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs. A loss would kayo Kansas. Kentucky, the national leader, has no such worry. The Wildcats clinched their bid and the Southeastern title at the same time Saturday night by whipping Tennessee, 86-81, while Tulane surprised Vanderbilt, 90-55. Columbia, sporting the best record in the land, 17-0, is assured of at least a tie for the Ivy League crown. The Lions romped past Harvard, 90-63, Saturday and if Cornell loses to either Penn or Harvard this week, it'll be all over. Two other teams — Brigham Young and Arizona—are expected to join Kentucky in the championship fold any day now. Brigham Yojing (12-3) holds a commanding lead in the Skyline conference. Arizona (11-1) is a walkover in the border conference. Pity poor North Carolina State. The Wolfpack is far ahead in the Southern Conference, with a 12-1 record, but they must take the 53-28 and claim the Sunset League crown here Friday night. The Bees had not been nearly as hard put as they were with their first meeting with the Panthers, but they still had unable to run up much of a margin until Orange decided drastically upon the wrong course of action midway through the fourth period. Trailing by eight points, 34-26, at the time, the Panthers finally came out of their tight zone defense to a man-for-an in an attempt to catch the Colonists, but the Maheimers merely laughed at their puny close-guarding efforts and went on to outscore the visitors 19-2 in the remaining time. Thus the Colonists sealed their bid for the league title with a 9-1 record, leaving them one game ahead of Huntington Beach, which won easily at Newport. It was also the season's finale for the Bees, making their final record a handsome one with 21 victories against only three losses. It had been close (not as close as the first meeting which went to an overtime) up until the final period, but Colonists had led all the way from the opening moments of the game when Bill Ames' field goal unlocked them from a 4-4 tie. With both teams using the zone, it was tight, but somewhat dreary at many of the moments. In the second period: for example, neither team was able to hit a field goal for the first four and one-half minutes of play. But that was an extreme example, the quarter score being 7-7, and both teams usually displayed a little Positively Dixie’s Greatest Show Jack and Joe have spared no expense to bring you the most Spectacular Entertainment Available Starring the Nationally Famous JACKSON TRIO Jack and Joe have spared no expense to bring you the most Spectacular Entertainment Available Starring the Nationally Famous JACKSON TRIO Just returned from extensive tour of the East Coast and Northern California ★ FEATURING GENE (Farina) JACKSON (the original "Tarina" of "Our Gang Comedies") and his brother, Freddie Jackson, former star of the famous "East Side Kids."
