2 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA. Faulkner, Welch Selected On All-Sunset Loop Team Anaheim's two foremost scoring threats during the past basketball season—center Ron Faulkner and guard Sheldon Welch—were named today to the all-Sunset league cage team. The team, selected by vote of the Sunset league coaches, was dominated by the Colonists and Newport Harbor, co-winners of the league crown this year. Both teams placed two two men on the first team with Santa Ana getting one. Ira Webber, hustling Anaheim forward, was named to the second team. Besides Webber, this team also included two men from Huntington Beach, and one each from Fullerton and Santa Ana. Orange was the only league team that failed to gain recognition on either of the squads. The first team was composed of Welch, Faulkner, Rex Babcock, NEW YORK (P)—He's just a pinch hitter but youngish Lou Rossini couldn't have done better. When his Columbia Lions defeated Princeton last night, 73-68, they finished their basketball schedule at 22 games without a defeat. Add nine games from last season and that makes 31 straight games the New Yorkers have won. Columbia is the only all-winning major five in the country. It's also the first time since the old war years that any major team has raced undefended through its schedule. Army is the last club to win them all, 15-0 in 1945. The 29-year-old Rossini took over as coach at the start after Coach Gordon Ridings took sick. Rossini graduated from Columbia in 1946. As usual, John Azary led the FAULKNER WELCH Santa Ana, and Glenn Griffith and Armond Nettles of Newport.

The Tigers are the last team to beat Columbia, back in the middle of last season. Azary, primarily a playmaker and defensive ace this year, scored 17 points to pull him two over the 1000-point career mark. After building up a 46-30 second-half lead, the Lions throttled down. Columbia had already clinched the Ivy League title and an NCAA tournament bid before last night's game. The Lions didn't have much trouble over the year but there's plenty coming up March 20 in the post-season classic that will decide the National champion. Columbia is matched against Illinois, the Big Ten champion and an eastern NCAA favorite with Kentucky and St. John's (the Brooklyn five hasn't been invited to the NCAA yet but is a 60 per cent cut). In last night's other major test, the Oklahoma Aggies defeated Houston, 97-58, to win the Missouri Valley title and a Western NCAA spot. Don Johnson with 18 points, led A & M to its 27th victory in 20 starts. Coach Hank Iba now has won the Valley title 12 times in 16 years. In other games last night, Canisius eged Syracuse, 69-66; Colgate defeated Rutgers, 78-58; Villanova trounced William & Mary, 87-58; Penn trimmed Penn State, 76-58; Oklahoma whipped Colorado, 56-48; Kansas downed Iowa State, 70-64; Missouri defeated Nebraska, 68-57 and Wyoming drubbed Denver, 62-61.

In addition to Webber, those on the second team were Harry Schurch and Vincent Ross, Huntington Beach; Ed Fouch, Santa Ana, and Duane Pennington, Pullerton. In picking the teams, the selectors pointed out that no effort was made to adhere to positions with the 10 best players in the league being named. Those who participated in the poll were Sam Keith, Anaheim; Bud Dawson, Pullerton; Jim Miller, Newport; Bill Frantz, Orange; Lee Mossetler, Huntington Beach; and Bus McKnight, Santa Ana. Baseball Briefs By The Associated Press PHOENIX — Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Yankees, predicts his team will win the American League pennant for the third straight year. "Sure I expect to win it again," he says. "That's for sure. It's the way I feel, so why shouldn't I say so." PASADENA — Manager Paul Richards of the Chicago White Sox already is set on four mound starters, but he is worried about his fifth. Bill Pierce, Joe Dobson, Bobby Cain and Randy Gumpert—those are his first line twirlers. Howie Judson and Lou Kretlow are in question. "One or the other has to come through for my fifth starter," said Richards, "because we don't have anyone else. Our youngsters don't seem to be far enough along yet. I'm going to give Kreftow or Judson a thorough trial at the start—not just one or two starts but a half dozen or more." Rookie Bill Higdon homered off Gumpert to highlight the Six intra-squad game yesterday which "Cramers" won 4-3 from the "Adairs."

The schools placed two players each on the respective division teams announced today by the conference commissioner's office after the coaches' votes were tabulated. The Northern division first team: forwards, Frank Guisness, Washington, and Bob Peterson, Oregon; center, Bob Houbregs, Washington; guards, Bob Gambold, Washington State, and Bob Payne, Oregon State. Southern division first team: forwards, Dick Ridgway, UCLA, and Bill Hugler, California; center, Jim Ramsted, Stanford; guards, Eddie Sheldrake, UCLA, and Tom Rigch, Southern California.

AVALON—Wid Matthews, Chicago Cubs personnel director, is enroute to Southern California and later to Florida on a talent hunt. Reports are current that outfielder Andy Pafko is being dangled again as trading bait, but Matthews insists he'll want half a team for the Cubs' prize. Meanwhile, Manager Frankie Frisch reports that at least three changes in his regular starting lineup are possible. He likes Ransom Jackson for third base, rookie Dee Fondy at first and Frank Baumholtz in the outfield. Bob Rush and Paul Minner gave up a stingy total of four hits yesterday to lead the "Whites" to a six-inning 6-1 win over the Grays. SAN BERNARDINO—Ed Morris, 25-year-old right handed pitcher formerly with the Kansas City Monarchs, may become the first Negro player in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Branch Rickey, Jr., has arranged for Morris to work out with the Buccs today, under the tutelage of George Sisler. Sisler said Morris' age, "may make it tough for him" to make the grade, since the Pirates wouldn't want to farm him out to one of the low minor league clubs.

Charles retained crown with a unanimous 15-round decision—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Detroit (UP)—An injured left ear today sidelined Ezzard Charles for two months, dashing Joe Louis' hopes for a crack at the heavyweight champion this April. The 29-year old titleholder's ear was puffed up in his successful 15-round defense against 37-year old Jersey Joe Walcott last night. His personal physician ordered Ezzard to stay out of action for at least two months. Charles, who was almost toppled from his throne in the fourth round by a crashing right to the jaw, had the swelling drained down from the ear at a hospital early this morning. Co-manager Tom Tarnas said the champ is okay but he'll have to give the ear a chance to heal before he does anything else. However, Charles is willing to meet anybody the International Boxing club offers. And that includes Louis, as soon as Ez is ready. Louis, who received a thunderous ovation from the 13,852 fans ($75,502 gross gate) at Olympia stadium, left shortly after the unanimous decision was announced. He didn't receive the disappointing news until today. It came as a great shock to the Brown Bomber. Louis has had four fights, has trimmed down to 207 pounds, and he feels he is ready right now. He doesn't want to waste any time. His 37th birthday comes up this May. Walcott's 37 years didn't seem to hang heavy on him in several spots last night, notably in the fourth and 15th rounds when the -1 underdog had Charles in trouble. In the fourth a right to the chin staggered the champion and one more might have sent him to the door for keeps. But Charles clung to Walcott for sixty long seconds and the challenger couldn't shake him off. By the end of the round, Charles had recovered and heanced to his corner. Thus, another championship gone from his blows by then, however, and Charles took them and kept coming. The champ, too, was trying for a kayo, and the round had the fans roaring to the final bell. The champ scored effectively at close range with short punches, blows that might not have been seen by most of the gallery and the millions of television viewers around the country.

Minnie scowled, then grinned and replied: "I'd say you're a good fellow. Let's forget the whole thing." Greenberg gave up and decided forget it.
