Colton, South Pas. Earn CIF Berths; Garden Grove Out The racket for the CIF playoffs was down to 16 teams today and pairings for eight first-round games on Friday were complete after South Pasadena and Colton won their way into the select 16 last night. Colton laced Bell Gardens 55-45 at Mt. San Antonio and South Pasadena put on a last quarter rally to brush by Pasadena 46-45 at Burbank high school. The 16-team bracket, as it now stands, will offer the following games on Friday night: Alhambra vs Colton, Cathedral vs Glendale, Compton vs Beverly Hills, Anaheim vs Grossmont, Loyola vs South Pasadena, Newport Harbor vs San Diego, Inglewood vs Long Beach Poly and Chaffey vs Montebello. Meanwhile, in the first round of play among the Southern Group of Leagues, Garden Grove was bounced out of the competition by a 60-35 loss to Bonita here last night. In the only other first-round game last night, Chula Vista, defending SGL champ, whipped San DIEGUITO 38-19.

SC Fills Staff By Signing Muha Fullerton Advances in Tourney With 69-66 Decision Over LAC Fullerton last night assured that the Los Angeles college Cubs, 1950 national champions, would not repeat Compton tourney champs, but before a bitter battle the Hornets hung on to win 69-66. Fullerton, winner for the second straight year of Eastern loop title, was expected to romp over the Cubs could do no better than fourth place in the Western State League. It looked as though the Hornets might do it, too, as they roared to an overwhelming 44-28 lead at halftime. But the Cubs led by the shooting forwards Larry Brenner and Bob Brown, gradually narrowed the margin until time ran out on them. The victory moved the Hornets into the quartierfinals where they will meet Long Beach tomorrow night. The Vikings advanced past the first round by pounding Phoenix 60-48 last night. In the only upset thus far in the tournament, Muni, last-place team in the WSC this year, easily won over Palo Verde, South Central League champion; 78-81, in last night's first game. The first round play will be concluded tonight when Pasadena meets San Bernardino at 6:30 and Glendale faces San Diego at 8. Compton will play Muni at 9:30 in the first of the quarterfinal games. The quarterfinal round will be completed tomorrow night with the semis and finals on Friday and Saturday. Dayton, Beloit Invited to NIT; Four Already In NEW YORK (A)—So far four teams officially are in National invitation basketball tournament, but two other Dayton and Beloit—are required to have blinds for the Mr. Square Garden meet, March. The Dayton journal said night Dayton has accepted but gave no source for its motion. At the same time, Dr. Cronells, president of Beloitlege, said his school was on a berth in the NIT. The four teams already entered in the 12-team tourney and John's of Brooklyn, North Carolina State, Arizona and Bris Young. The list of prospective teams fluid, with the NCAA getting preference from some of the SC Fills Staff By Signing Muha LOS ANGELES UP—The football coaching staff at the University of Southern California was completed today with the signing of the professional ranks of big formerly of the Philaleses. Hill named Muha, a Virginia Military Instructor, a resident of Sonoma, as a backfield coach taking his master's degree in business economics at SC. He served with the Marines and fought at Iwo Jima. He was a defensive man for the Eagles from 1946 through 1950. The full SC staff now consists of Muha and Wal Hargesheimer for the backs; Mel Hein, one-time New York Giant center star; and Don Clark, line; Bill Fisk, ends, and Jesse Mortensen, junior varsity, all under Head Coach Hill. Three Foreigners Go In Anita 'Cap ARCADIA UP—It will be up to three horses to supply the international touch to the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap Saturday. Listed as probable starters are Abe Hirschberg's Repeluz, from Argentina; William Goetz' Bernbrook from Australia and E. O. Stice and Son's Iron Duke II from England. Repeluz will be aiming to duplicate the feat of two other Argentine importations in winning the big handicap. The late Charles S. Howard's Kayak II captured the 1939 running and R. J. Ryan of New York saw his Handsome Talon come through in 1948. Bernbrook was purchased by Goetz, wealthy movie executive and brought to this country last year. He has won only one race in seven starts in this country but was one of the best stake horses in Australia. Iron Duke II is strictly an outsider, with no success to boast about in this country. The roll of probably starters, as viewed today for the 14th running of the mile and one quarter event, includes 11 horses and one or two other possibilities. Main interest remains focused on Mr. and Mrs. John Denbise Wack's Great Circle winner of the Rich Senior Anita Maturity Feb. 3 and the Calumet entry of Coaltown; All Blue and the more Bewildered. At the same time, Dr. Cronelson, president of Beloitlege, said his school was on a berth in the NIT. The four teams already entered in the 12-team tournament and John's of Brooklyn, North Carolina State, Arizona and Brigham Young. The list of prospective team fluid with the NCAA getting preference from some of the teams. One team, Arizona, is the team so far committed to play both tournaments. Arizona added an NIT bid, then automatically enlisted an NCAA spot by ning the Border conference. Thirteen spots are still for the NCAA, starting in York and Raleigh, N.C., 20 and Kansas City, March 21 ending in the championship at Minneapolis, March 27. The Pacific Coast still decided its champion with Sern Cal, UCLA, Washington Oregon all in the training. Four places will go into ent teams in the Eastern N and two to Western independen- Coin Flip Earns Bruins Home Site LOS ANGELES UP—UCLA the toss of a coin that may be the Bruins the Southern division basketball championship of Pacific Coast conference. UCLA and Southern Cal tied for the leadership now, two more games this week in UCLA gym. Coach Johnny Wooden of UCLA flipped a 50-cent piece and Coach Forrest Twogood trifled it, the winner to get the off tilt for his home court playoff is necessary next day. Twogood called "tails," and coin came up "heads." UCLA has lost but one game three years on its own court: was to SC last year.

The roll of probably starters, as viewed today for the 14th running of the mile and one quarter event, includes 11 horses and one or two other possibilities. Main interest remains focused on Mr. and Mrs. John DeBoisse Wack’s Great Circle, winner of the Rich Santa Anita Maturity Feb. 3 and the Calumet entry of Coaltown, All Blue and the mare, Bewitch. Weather prospects are too unsettled at this date to hazard a guess on the elements Saturday; but the track is hoped that skies are clear and the track fast in that event, about a dozen horses are expected to go postward. NY Giants, Rote To Talk Contract DALLAS OK — Kyle Rote, Southern Methodist’s star footballer will talk contract with the New York Giants of the National Football league next week. The full schedule: Sept., Washington State here; Sept., Mariners and Navy here; Oct., Washington at Seattle; Oct., Oregon State here; Oct. 20 California at Berkeley; Oct. 27, Tennessee here; Nov. 3, Army New York; Nov. 10, Stainton; Nov. 17, bye; Nov.

Although outscored 175-177 its 1949 opponents, North Carolina won seven of 10 games and play in the Cotton Bowl. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA. In Tourney On Over LACC that the Los Angeles city champs, would not repeat as not before a bitter battle as second straight year of the to romp over the Cubs, who Dayton, Beloit Invited to NIT; Four Already In NEW YORK (UP)—So far only four teams officially are in the national invitation basketball tournament, but two others—Dayton and Beloit—are reported have bid for the Madison Square Garden meet, March 16-17. The Dayton Journal said last month Dayton has accepted a bid gave no source for its information. At the same time, Dr. Carey McNeils, president of Beloit college, said his school was offered worth in the NIT. The four teams already entered the 12-team tourney are St. Louis of Brooklyn, North Carolina State, Arizona and Brigham Young. The list of prospective teams is tied with the NCAA getting first reference from some of the top colleges with his already accused mates. Hogan's statement came as the climax of a day of first developments in the basketball bribery probe. It followed by only a few hours an announcement by CCNY officials (that the school would play no more cage contests this season). The district attorney indicated that his investigation is far from over. Ten more detectives were brought into the inquiry, and Hogan promised to dig into the sorrid sports sellout just as far as necessary. As of today, there are 12 players or former players at four local schools accused of bribery to fix a total of 15 games over three seasons, including the current one. Two of the schools, CC Long Island university, no longer abandoned further games this season. Another of the schools, Fan college, announced yet that its officials were aware of the "future of basketball." Two Manhattan college and three other persons dicted Feb. 2 on bribery. Authorities said the two admitted fixing three game season. Manhattan's last game season was to have been row against CCNY. The other CCNY games ended by that school's decision scheduled for March 6. Basketball Briefs AVALON (UP)—Wid Mullnews, Chicago Cubs personnel director, has popped up with a pitchers' report card. He said as is not interested so much in won-lost percentages or earned-run averages. Cub pitchers will be judged (and paid in 1952) on four other points: innings pitched; hits allowed per inning pitched; bases on balls and strikeouts. PALM SPRINGS (UP)—The Chicago White Sox were to move to their permanent spring base in Pasadena today, but Manager Paul Richards may be left behind. Richards was stricken by influenza yesterday and was in bed with a temperature of 103 degrees. Rogers Hornsby, greatest right-handed batsman, visited the Sox and was asked just what the difference is between a .250 and a .300 hitter. "It's mostly a matter of determination," he observed. "It's the desire to be better than the other fellow and, therefore, to be willing to practice on your weaknesses." BURBANK (UP)—The St. Louis Browns start training tomorrow with most of the squad expected to be on hand. Absent will be pitcher Ned Garver, who is driving here after Stengel Faces Toughest Challenges With Yanks Hard Hit by Emergence PHOENIX (UP)—If Casey Stengel gets a third straight championship out of the New York Yankees, then the longer will be reason to doubt that the man from Glencoe is one of the truly fine baseball minds of this era. They might say—as some have—that "Old Case" is in with the past two editions, using his own patented set of double talk mixed with the two-platoon. But if he does it again with the problems facing him this time, somebody is going to have to move over and make room for the man with the oil wells. For, before the serious spring training even begins, it is obvious that the world champions have been hurt by the threat of war worse than any club in the American league. It might even be argued with some logic that the Bombers got it worse than the Phillies of the other league. Stengel, as he makes a hurried search among his rookies, knows that he needs desperately to come up with a couple of big league infielders, an outfielder who can hit and another starting pitcher if he is to fend off the strengthened Boston Red Sox and the solid Cleveland Indians. Billy Martin, the sparkling youngster who was about ready to step into any infield spot except first base, is in uniform. So is Ed (Whitey) Ford, the self-possessed young southpaw who came with up the fourth best combit but not the best. So he's going to look over Dougald at third, along with or four others, including Jensen; the outfield bonus who got into only 45 games season. Another of Casey's projects is to turn Jensen pitcher, but the handsome from Oakland is not too about it. All the other clubs added him as an outfielder, says, and that is the positives wants to play. "He's got a great curve—best one of my club Highlights," He's got four pitches and he's got the Why shouldn't he want to pitcher? I've told him he's hit better last year to many Yankees outfield." So Jesseen somewhat again will, is warming up regularly doing a little hunting in squads games, but if he makes the big shift, as Bob I and Bucky Walters did, it will It is mostly a matter of determination. "It's the desire to be better than the other fellow and, therefore, to be willing to practice on your weaknesses." BURBANK (P)—The St. Louis Browns start training tomorrow with most of the squad expected to be on hand. Absent will be pitcher Ned Garver, who is driving here after coming to terms yesterday, and four unsigned players. The four are pitchers Russ Bauers and Iry Medlinger and outfielders Frank Saucier and Jim Dyck. TUCSON (P)—Jim Hegan of the Indians, who caught more games than any other American League receiver in the last four years, is figuring on a little more rest this season. Cleveland Manager Al Lopez said today Jim will catch only one game in doubleheaders, with Birdie Tebbetts taking the others. Jim also thinks his alling back, which gave him so much trouble last season, is about cured. PHOENIX (P)—Casey Stengel heaved a sign of relief today—his only experienced third baseman, Billy Johnson, has signed his 1951 contract. The veteran infielder came into the fold yesterday for a reported $18,000, the same as he received last year. Stengel is counting heavily on Johnson. Bobby Brown, who is interning in a San Francisco hospital, may not be available for duty. The government has indicated that if Brown attempts to play ball this summer, he'll be drafted. So Johnson probably will see duty against all kinds of pitching. Billy Martin, the sparkling youngster who was about ready to step into any infield spot except first base, is in uniform. So is Ed Whitey Ford; the self-possessed young southpaw who came within an out of being the hero of the last World Series game. The loss of Bobby Brown and Martin explains why Stengel urged his front office to Herculean efforts to sign up Lou Boudreau when the veteran manager-infielder was turned loose by Cleveland at season's end. The Yankees were supposed to have offered Lou up to $60,000 to sign a contract; the Red Sox to have landed him for $65,000. The Bombers, as a matter of fact, need Boudreau more than the Sox do. He probably would have played over 100 games at third for the Yanks, while it's doubtful he'll get into anywhere near that number with Steve O'Neill's team. His club's failure to sign Lou has put it squarely up to Stengel to find an alternate third-baseman with Johnson, who hit only .260 in 108 games last season, and that has been the burden of Casey's early conversation. He is greatly attracted to Gil McDougald, who hit .336 for Beaumont's Texas league flag winners, but McDougald plays second. "What if I shifted Gerry Coleman over to third?" Casey suggests. "That left side would look mighty good, wouldn't it? But I would be breaking up the best double play combination in the league. I wouldn't mind breaking..." Pan American Games Shaping Up As Duel Between Argentina, US BUENOS AIRES (P)—Just as expected, the first Pan American games are shaping up as a duel between the always powerful United States and up-and-coming Argentina. With six final events completed, the U.S. led with 49 points in unofficial standings, against 36 for Argentina. As in the Olympics, no official point total is kept, but on a basis of 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 for six places, others in the scoring column are: Mexico 21, Peru 14, Brazil 11, Chile 7, Cuba 4, and Guatemala 2. At yesterday's opening of the competition, the track events drew 35,000 fans and the swimming stadium was jammed as President Juan Peron dashed from one arena to another to show everyone he's behind the games 100 per cent. With perfect midsummer weather in prospect for today and a half dozen track finals on tap, the probability was that even larger crowds would visit the River Plate's stadium's big double-decked horseshoe. Here are the six champions already crowned: Women's discus—Ingebord Mello de Preiss, Argentina, 126 feet 5% inches. Men's 10,000 meter run—Curtis Stone, U.S.A., 31:08.6. Men's high jump—Virgil Severn, U.S.A., 6 feet 4% inches. Team folls fencing—U.S.A. 50-meter free pistol, individual—Edwin Vasquez Cam, Peru, 549 points. 50-meter free pistol, team—Mexico...

As these are the first games of their kind, every winning performance stands as a record. Competition now starts in rowing and cycling, making 10 of 18 sports in action. The highlight of the opening day's track program was the amazing 10,000 meter duel between Stone and the big, bronzeed Argentine; Ricardo Bralo, Bralo set the price after a little preliminary jockeying and for lap after lap of the 25 lap grind. Stone dogged his heels. Once on the 19th lap, Stone took the lead but Bralo quickly regained it. Then, with a lap and a half to go Stone cut home with his finishing kick and went ahead. On the last lap, on the backstretch, Brallo tried to pass but Stone exploded a fresh sprint. Coming off the final curve, Stone went up on his toes for a sprint that had the crowd hysterical, winning by five yards. The U.S. won its first basketball game in the round robin series, defeating Ecuador, 74-32, and arch-rival Argentina defeated Mexico easily, 58-45. In the swimming; Dick Cleveland of the U.S. flashed brilliant form in the 100-meter free style trials with a time of 59 seconds flat, but two powerful Argentines won the 200-meter breaststroke heats and looked like the class of that field — Hector Dominguez Nimee and Orlando Cossani. Mexico leads in the modern pentathlon with fencing next on the gruelling schedule. In baseball, the Wake Forest college team representing the U.S. crushed Argentina, which is unaccustomed to that sport, 29-3, but later on must face first class clubs Church of Christ White Temple 2 Granere F Duncan 29 2 Brunts' F Meade 4 2 Schilling C Ryan 8 12 Duncan G Harlow 2 10 Goff G Brummet Halftime scores White Temple Church of Christ 6.
