Loma. Game time is 7:30 with the San Diego-Newport Harbor game to follow it. The ambitious Colonists are currently working on a seven-game winning string, the best that they have been able to compile since they set a new school record early in the season by posting 14 straight victories. They will at 23-4, be taking a much better record into the contest than the Hilltopers, who compiled a 19-8 mark while taking second place in the San Diego league this year. Anaheim, of course, tied with Newport for the Sunset league title, both teams having 8-2 records. Elsewhere around the Southland, six other first-round CIF games are in prospect tonight. The games are Alambra vs. Colton, Cathedral vs. Glendale, Compton vs. Beverly Hills, Loyola vs. South Pasadena, Inglowo vs. Expect Handicap To Attract Dozen In Mediocre Field ARCADIA OF THE 14th ning of the famed $100,000 Anita Handicap comes off morrow and $55,000 fans watch a dozen or more hours compete for the handsome pu Entries closed today.

NEW YORK (E) — A mystery witness brought from Florida may be questioned today in the ever-widening probe of fixed college basketball games. The witness, a man said to have been brought here by Assistant District Attorney William P. Shignano, is reported by some sources to be a former Long Island university player. However, District Attorney Frank S. Hoogan's office refused to identify him. Announcement that the man would be brought here and questioned came soon after the district attorney handled with Eddie Gard, accused go-between in the game-rigging scandal, and Harvey Schaff, suspended New York university player. Hogan said "questions were answered" by Schaff and Gard, but he would not promise new developments "immediately." Schaff and Gard, former Long Island university player, are among 12 big-time college players or former players arrested on bribe charges since the scandal was disclosed. The current probe involves ten players from LIU, NYU, and the City College of New York. All allegedly fixed games were played at Madison Square Garden. The first hint of the mushrooming gambling bribe scandal came in January when two Manhattan compiled a 19-6 marathon while taking second place in the San Diego league this year. Anaheim, of course, tied with Newport for the Sunset league title, both teams having 8-2 records. Elsewhere around the Southland, six other first-round CIF games are in prospect tonight. The games are Alhambra vs. Colton, Cathedral vs. Glendale, Compton vs. Beverly Hills, Loyola vs. South Pasadena, Inglefield vs. Long Beach Poly, and Chaffey vs. Montebello. Provided both Sunset league entries pass their first-round tests tonight at Pt. Loma, they will play the winner of the Compton-Beverly Hills game, with San Diego or Newport meeting the Loyola-South Pasadena victor. Grosmont's record in claiming second place in its league was much like Anaheim's in the Sunset. The Hilltopers started very slowly, closing with a rush to grasp the CIF playoff spot. They won the spot in the last game of the regular season when they defeated La Jolla, a team tied with them in second place in that time. The Hilltopers are relatively short team with the exception of center Noel Michelson, who is 6 ft. 5 in. Guard Bob Rand is the only other starter, however, to come up to the 6 ft. mark, and he stands even at that figure. The Colonists, of course, will have three starters—Ron Faulkner, Dennis Denny, and Sheldon Welch—over that mark, but the Colonists have had a height advantage in nearly every game this year and have dropped several anyway. They will be favored, however, to win over Grosmont tonight and move into tomorrow's second round. Newport, meanwhile, will probably be only little less than an even bet against San Diego. Charles Powell, all-CIF player of the year, is the main hope of the Cavemen. He was a late addition to the team and did not participate when San Diego turned in two unimpressive performances last year in the Compton tournament. Lanky Percy Gilbert is the scoring star of the Cavemen, but he will find a real opponent in Armand Nottles scoring king of the morrow and 55,000 fans watch a dozen or more hours compete for the handsome prize. Entries closed today. The threat is expected to shape up soon thing like this: Coaltown, Blue, Great Circle, Next Moonrush, Vino Fino, Bernbrush Sturdy One, Repeluz, Sudan, copo, Last Round and Iron DII. The Calumet entry, with Blue expected to supply the mothreat, may well be the best favorite by post time late tomorrow afternoon, but heavy supplies is expected for Mr. and Mrs. J.

Chenery's Prince, William Goetz' Your H Vanderbilt's other filly star, O'Roses, Abe Hirschberg's Boys and others are sidelined by juries. A fit and ready Coaltown course would be the big favor and one to match the greats to have raced with distinction in Golden Gallop in past years—S biscuit, Noor, Citation, Discover Armed and others. The 1951 Calumet town, though, has raced more than once might Twenty Grand Equipoise, who were past the peak when they ran out here. Last year's tremendous line and finish, for instance, certain cannot be duplicated. The 19 Handicap saw Charles S. Hoogan's Irish horse Noor, whip triple-threat Calumet team of Two-Lea and Ponder that order. Now the Calumets, gulded Trainer Jimmy Jones, had a tie deciding whether to send Coaltown or their mare, Bewitch, in the battle as a running mate in All Blue. Great Circle captured the mans and one quarter Santa Anita Murity and the major share of $205,700 purse on Feb. 3.

He was a late addition to the team and did not participate when San Diego turned in two unimpressive performances last year in the Compton tournament. Lanky Percy Gilbert is the scoring star of the Cavemen, but he will find a real opponent in Armond Nettles, scoring king of the Sunset league this season. Nettles has bucketed 248 points in 16 games this year; only slightly more than teammate Glenn Griffith at 236. Like its Sunset league brother, Newport will boast a distinct advantage in height. Nettle Griffith and forward Dave Peterson come in at 6 ft. 4 in., all taller than any man on thi San Diego roster.

Wolfpack, Ky., Keep on Winning NEW YORK (P) — Kentucky and North Carolina State continue to knock over conference opponents in their respective post-season basketball tournaments but the Carolinians aren't doing so well off the court. Kentucky, No. 1 nationally in this week's Associated Press poll, walloped Mississippi State, 92-70, in its opening game of the Southeastern conference tournament. The Wilcocks cinched an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney by winning the SEC title during the regular season. N. C. State trounced South Carolina, 83-53, in a Southern conference tournament opener. The Wolfpack placed first in the standings during the regular season but must win the tournament to qualify for the NCAA. The NCAA council meeting in Chicago yesterday put what might be a bad crimp in N. C. State chances in the National Invitation and NCAA tournaments. The council said N. C. State can't use Sam Ranzino, Paul Horvath and Vlc Bubas, Wolfpack stars, if the team qualifies for the NCAA tournament. All are seniors who played on the varsity as freshmen and are not eligible because the NCAA allows only three years of varsity competition now. The NIT nominated Seton Hall yesterday, making eight teams picked so far. Four more to go. In the Far West, the favored UCLA Bruins, open a two-game series tonight that will decide the Southern division winner in the Pacific coast conference. They are tied at 7-3.

Kiner, whose slugging was the only bright spot in the Pirates lineup last year, says he feels "great." Asked if he'll play first base, Kiner replied: "If it will help the club, I'm all for it. That is, if I can handle the job well enough." SARASOTA — Ted Williams connected solidly against only three of the 38 pitches tossed him in his first 1951 batting practice but his Boston Red Sox teammates were impressed by his performance. Trainer Jack Fadden was certain Williams fractured left elbow would be as strong as ever inside a month. "Ted said his arm felt sore after the workout but that was to be expected," Fadden explained. "He was breaking his wrists much better than last fall and it did not pain him to swing."

The Hornets repeated two earlier wins over Long Beach to move into the semis last night, while Glendale and Ventura, two WSC teams, were eliminating two other Eastern conference teams in quarterfinal play. The Hornets finished strong in the second half to topple the Vikings 94-72. Glendale pulled a major upset by outlasting San Bernardino 68-66, and Ventura had no trouble at all in wallopng Chaffey 88-69. Compton had qualified for tonight's semis on the previous night.

Pete Hook almost singlehandedly held Fullerton in during this first half, hitting for 19 points. Long Beach solved him in the final period, but Pinky Thompson and Jerry Philp started hitting in his place.
