San Juan to End Anita Meeting ARCADIA (UP) — The $50,000 San Juan Capistrano Handicap winds up the Santa Anita race meeting tomorrow and less than a dozen horses are slated to compete in the long mile-and-three-quarter grind. Fourteen were nominated but the Calumet Farm declared out its two mare, Bewitch and Wistful, and the Yolo Stable listed its crack four-year-old, Great Circle, as a doubtful starter. Believed certain today to pass the entry box were Repeluz, the entry of Sudan and Mocopo, Bernbrook, Be Fleet, Top Production, Vino Fino, Akimbo, Ohsodry, Gitita II and possibly Iron Duke II. The track expects upwards of 40,000 to witness the finale of its 14th annual meeting. Good weather and a fast course are anticipated. As was the case a week ago in the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap, the race appears to be wide open, and no one would be surprised if an outsider came in first, as Moonrush did in the big Cap last Saturday. Great Circle was given top impost of 122, while the Argentine importation, Repeluz, racing for Abe Hirschberg of San Francisco, was next high at 116. Repeluz, fourth at a mile-and-one-quarter last week, probably will be the posttime favorite. Clifford Mooers' Sudan and Mocopo will be well regarded, however, Sudan carrying 111 pounds, this third to Mooers. SALVATORE SOLLAZZO Fixer Sollazzo Faces 13 Counts NEW YORK (UP)—Salvatore T. Sollazzo, alleged king-pin fixer behind college basketball's biggest scandal, will be arraigned today on a 13-count bribery indictment. In handing down the indictment yesterday, the grand jury considered only Sollazzo's alleged game-fixing activities involving four City College of New York stars and the attempted bribery of a New York university player. The indictment charges Sollazzo with bribing or attempting to bribe college basketball players. First Tournament Play to Begin Tomorrow in NIT NEW YORK (UP)—It's basic ball tournament time again and starting with the Natl Invitation tournament here tomorrow until the final of NCAA tournament on March in Minneapolis, the top team the country will scramble these two coveted crowns. The NIT in Madison Square Garden is set with 12 quinn ready. The final is March 17. The NCAA picture is not complete. Five places remain open today. Champions of the cific Coast and Southwest conferences will fill two, while other three will be taken up Eastern "at large" teams — members of 10 major conference whose winners automatically bid. The Pacific Coast team will decided in a best-of-three play between Washington and UCLA starting tonight. The Southwest winner will be decided the same way between Texas and Texas A and M. They start tomorrow. The Western NCAA, who picked San Jose State and Montana State as its two independent teams, will be held March 21-23-24 at Kansas City, while Eastern Division, which nans St. John's as one of its independent teams, will get underway March 20 at Raleigh, N.C., a New York, winding up in New York the 24th. Great Circle was given top im- post of 122, while the Argentine importation, Repeluz, racing for Abe Hirschberg of San Francisco, was next high at 116. Repeluz, fourth at a mile-and-one-quarter last week, probably will be the posttime favorite. Clifford Mooers' Sudan and Mo-cono will be well regarded, however, Sudan, carrying 111 pounds, ran third to Moonrush and Alfred G. Vanderbilt's filly, Next Move, and packs 115 tomorrow. Moonrush and Next Move decided to pass up the longer San Juan. Andrew Crevolin's Be Fleet drew 111 and much sentimental interest. Be Fleet is a son of Count Fleet, and Jockey Johnny Longden, who had the boot on the illustrious Count during his heyday was engaged to ride the off-spring. Army defensive back Hal Shultz says studying is his hobby, and he ranks third scholastically in his class. CINA-CAR DRIVE-IN THEATRE Gut Center, S-Mi. W. of Anaheim 6612 Lincoln Ave. Fri. Sat. Sun.

"Harvey" and "STEEL HELMET" In handing down the indictment yesterday, the grand jury considered only Sollazzo's alleged game-fixing activities involving four City College of New York stars and the attempted bribery of a New York university player. The indictment charges Sollazzo with bribing or attempting to bribe college basketball players 16 insure results which would inch bets made on games. District Attorney Frank S. Hogan's office said the grand jury based its indictment only on the first arrests made last month when the fix scandal rocked the sports world. No mention was made by the jury of six Long Island university players or former players under arrest for purportedly taking money from Sollazzo during scores in Madison Square Garden games. Twelve counts of the indictment involve the CCNY players—Bek Warner, Floyd-Lane, Dr Roman and Al Roth—who have admitted getting from $500 to $1500 each for fixing the scores of games played against Missouri, Arizona and Boston College. The four players all were members of last year's CCNY "dream team," which made a clean sweep of the National Invitation and National Collegiate tourneys played at the Garden. The 13th count involves an unsuccessful attempt to bribe NYU player Jim Brasco through a teammate, Connie Schaff. Schaff, under arrest for attempted bribery, recently admitted he took $1900 to fix a game played last New Year's day between NYU and Cornell. Sollazzo, ex-convict and jewelry manufacturer, has been held without bail since his arrest last Feb. 18. He allegedly paid out about $45,000 in bribes. Maximum penalty for each count of the current indictment against him is $10,000 fine and five years in jail—which could mean a total of $130,000 and 65 years if convicted. Flashy Field Set For LB Relays The Western NCAA, which picked San Jose State and Mtana State as its two independent teams, will be held March 21-23-24 at Kansas City, while Eastern Division, which named St. John's as one of its independent teams, will get under way March 20 at Raleigh, N.C., and New York, winding up in New York the 24th. The other Western teams far are Oklahoma A and M (Missouri Valley), Kansas State (BSeen), Brigham Young (Skylin) and Arizona (Border). The draws Oklahoma A and M are Brigham Young against the Southwest winner against the Packers Cochon champion. Besides St. John's other four teams in the Eastern sections are Columbia (Ivy), Illinois (H Ten), Kentucky (Southwestern) and North Carolina State (Southern). Columbia and Illinois will play in New York and Kentucky and North Carolina Stain at Raleigh. A blind draw will be made when the other three at large teams are named. As for the NIT, only one local school—there usually are three at four—will play. That's St. John's which incidentally, is one of the teams trying for both the NIT and NCAA titles for the first time CCNY won both last year. Cincinnati, St. Bonaventure, Bloit, Brigham Young, Dayton and Lawrence Tech never have played in the NIT before. The other halves—Arizona, St John's, St Louis, North Carolina State, La Salle and Seton Hall—are NI veterans. St. John's is seeded No. 1, North Carolina State No. 2, Brigham Young No. 3 and Arizona No. 4. All drew first round byes. Four games are scheduled tomorrow—Lawrence Tech-Dayton and Seton Hall-Beloit in the afternoon and Cincinnati-St. Bonaventure, and LaSalle-St. Louis in the evening.

Bob Rush and Paul Minner were elected for pitching duties in the first game with Omar Lown and Warren Hacker assigned to Sunday's contest in Los Angeles. "Our pitchers will work four or five innings each from the start," Manager Frankie Frisch said. ST. PETERSBURG—Artie Wilson, Negro rookie shortstop from Oakland, has a good chance to stick with the New York Giants because of his all-around ability. Chances are slight he will beat Alvin Dark out of the regular shortstop post, but Wilson also can play first, second, third and the outfield. BURBANK — Manager Zack Taylor of the St. Louis Browns says one of his biggest problems is selecting men for relief pitching. Thirteen of the 14 pitchers listed on the spring training roster are getting in shape. The absentee is Russ Bauers who is at his Wisconsin home recuperating from a tooth extraction. Zack thinks that Bauers may be an answer to his relief worries. TUCSON — Russ Christopher, whose career as a relief hurler was interrupted by a heart condition, is ready to go back to work for the Cleveland Indians. The 33-year-old right-hander will begin working out with the San Diego farm team, General Manager Hank Greenberg announced at spring training camp here today. "Russ said he'd rather train with San Diego because he doesn't want to feel he's in the way here," Hank explained. AP A-A Is Big, Medium, Small NEW YORK (P)—Two of the game's tallest players at 7 feet and 6-9, two medium-size players at 6-4 and 6-1 and a diminutive 5-8 sparkplug make up the 1951 Associated Press All-America basketball team. Selected by a vote of 227 sports writers and broadcasters were: Bill Spivey, Kentucky seven-footer whose great rebound work helped Kentucky to the Southeast conference title and to No. 1 ranking in the final Associated Press poll. Clyde Lovellette, Kansas six-niner, exceptionally fast for a big man who this year set a Big Seven conference scoring mark of 286 points in 12 games. Gene (Squeaky) Melchiorre, Bradley's "Midget George Mikan" at 5-8, who has repeatedly demonstrated inspiring leadership qualities on the hardwood. Sammy Ranzino, 6-1 North Carolina State, whose ability under pressure has played a big part in bringing Southern conference titles to N.C. State the last four years. "One of the finest players I've ever coached," says N.C. State Coach, Everett Case. "He's a great co-ordinator and outstanding dribbler. Bill Mlkvy, 6-4, Temple, who has no weakness according to his coach, Josh Cody. He can flip baskets in with either hand and can hand out assists just as well. He scored 731 points in 25 games for a 29.2 average, handled 176 assists and grabbed 460 rebounds. Spivey, Lovellette and Mlkvy are juniors. Ranzino and Melchiorre seniors. Dick Groat, who rimmed 831 points for Duke this year; Bob Zawoluk, St. John's, Brooklyn; Bill Garrett, Indiana; Gale McArthur, Oklahoma A & M and Ernie Barrett, Kansas State, made the second team. A third team is composed of Mel Hutchins, Brigham Young; Whitey Skoog, Minnesota; John Wittons Leading NEW DELHI (P)—Japan's weakered athletes outfought competition from ten other nations today to move into fifth place in the Asian games on the basis of unofficial scores. The Japanese scored on the soccer field, cycle track, running track and field sports to boast their point total to 42. Iran, who weightlifters had put her in was interrupted by a heart condition, is ready to go back to work for the Cleveland Indians. The 33-year-old right-hander will begin working out with the San Diego farm team. General Manager Hank Greenberg announced at spring training camp here today. "Russ said he rather train with San Diego because he doesn't want to feel he's in the way here," Hank explained. A heartilment caused by rheumatic fever, caused Christopher to retire right after he helped the Indians to the 1948 world championship. An operation last November has restored his health. SAN BERNARDINO — Bing Crosby, vice-president of the Pittsburgh Pirates, expects to get his first glimpse of the 1951 Bucs on Sunday. Crosby, recovering from a kidney operation, will watch the Pirates play the St. Louis Browns at Burbank. Rookie infielder John Merson collected five hits and outfielder George Metkovich rapped out three as the Babe Hermans routed the Milk Stocks 12-0 yesterday. PHOENIX—Mickey Mantle and Gil McDougald, prizé Naw, York Yankee rookies, will play tomorrow when the Yanks meet Cleveland in the first exhibition game of the season. Mantle will open in center field and McDougald at third base. Mantle led the Western Association in batting last year and is being groomed as a future replacement for Joe DiMaggio. McDougald stirred at second base for Beaumont's pennant-winning Texas League team. He has been switched to third.

Barksdale Leads US to Victory In Final Pan Am Games Event BUENOS AIRES (P)—Some 2000 athletes watched quietly today while the flags of 20 nations were hauled down in pomp and ceremony at the end of the first Pan American games. The placid scene contrasted with the hysteria that prevailed in the wee, small hours this morning after the United States defeated Argentina for the basketball championship, 57-51. It was the last and most dramatic of Pan American contests, ending after midnight. Competitors and officials left the country with a promise to assemble again in 1955 at Mexico City for the second Pan American games. Some 25,000 wildly-partisan fans jammed this country's Madison Square Garden to watch their favorites last night try to defeat North Americans. Fans even sat four deep on the basketball floor with feet at the very edge of the white boundary lines. Every time a U.S. player shot a foul the crowd whistled shrilly. Up marched an Argentine for a foul and the crowd hushed. Strangely enough, although the game ended fairly close, no one seemed really to think Argentina could win despite the fact it is the same team that defeated the U.S. here last year for the world amateur title. The towering North Americans defeated the smaller Latins off the backboards with Barksdale providing much of the rebounding and 23 points. The U.S. team consists of members of the Oakland Blue and Gold Nuggets, 1950 national AAU champions and Indiana State, 1950 NAIB winner. "I wanted to win this one more than the national championship," said Coach Hal Fischer of Oakland, "and we did it clean and square." Barksdale, Dick Faszholz and Jim Powell left the game on fours in the closing, crucial minutes when Argentina drew up to 53-51. Barksdale was high man for the tournament with 140 points. Although Argentina dominated the Pan American games by any reckoning, this game was a hard one to lose. There was much embracing, hand shaking, back clapping and even crying afterward. Will '51 Be Year for Kiner to snap Ruth Mark? AN BERNARDINO (UP) — Is destined to be the year Ralph will beat Babe Ruth's record of 60 home runs in a single season. Slot of Pittsburgh Pirate fans all of them superstitious—so so. The odd years, they say, defy favor his chances of surging Ruth's feat in 1927. Kiner belted 23 homers for the race in 1946, his first season in major leagues. No other Piñer ever had done so well. The year he banged out 51, and one of the great idols of bull. You might say he slumped in—only 40 homers. But that man even number year, it is bad. Just wait for the 1949 reelection—a fat total of 54. And that as in 1947, Kiner led the team in hitting, well over 300, on even year, 1950 wasn't ex-dismal. Kiner wound up with some runs. Manager Bill Meyer reckons will be Kiner's year of great story. What does the 28-year-old outfit think about his chances? All depends on how I get rid," he said. "And then I afford any bad slumps like last season. Naturally, I do do better. I don't believe was a good year for me." Batting average last year 72, and he drove in 118 runs. PONTIAC SERVICE OUR SPECIAL "KNOW-HOW" PAYS OFF EVERY TIME! PAYS OFF EVERY TIME!
