2 Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA FLIGHT OF THE SNOWBIRDS—This is the way the 10th annual "Flight of the Snowbirds" at greater Newport Harbor may look to visitors Sunday, July 29. The above picture shows the start of last year's race. More than 150 youthful skippers from all parts of Southern California are expected to compete. Starting time is at 1:30. Wolfpack Football Team Calls It Quits — No Scholarships or Money RENO (LP)—The regents early today dropped football from the University of Nevada sports calendar, effective im- Turf by the Surf Opened Today for 40 Racing Days DEL MAR (DP)—Del Mar opene Wolfpack Football Team Calls It Quits—No Scholarships or Money RENO (P)—The regents early today dropped football from the University of Nevada sports calendar, effective immediately. That action presumably means Joe Sheeketski, controversial athletic director and coach of the Wolfpack, is without his $12,500 annual job. The regents refused to discuss Sheeketski's status, presumably wanting time to notify him. But they said there'd be another important announcement at noon. The regents gave heavy indebtedness in Nevada's football program and heavy stress on the sport as reasons for abandoning it. Unofficial records indicate Nevada is the 29th school to drop football since the 1950 season. Nevada will continue its other intercollegiate sports. Regents said the football ban will remain for the duration of the national emergency and until adequate finances are available to carry a program of effective intercollegiate competition. Notification of the action came in a six-point resolution specifying: 1. The athletic program at Nevada has been conducted on a deficits basis for several years. 2. The recent legislature did not appropriate money for athletic scholarships. The university wanted $30,000 a year for them. 3. It is impractical to carry on a football program the scope of Nevada's without athletic scholarships. 4. It would be physically impossible to carry out a schedule such as outlined for 1951 without contracting greater debt. 5. The national emergency makes the obtaining of athletes difficult. 6. There appears to be general dissatisfaction with the conduct of the athletic program of the university. This presumably refers to Sheeketski's win-loss record the past two years. The 1950 Wolfpack played 10 games and defeated only Montana State. The 1949 record was five won—five lost. Sheeketski's best year was 1948, his first at the Wolfpack helm. Paced by the sharp quarterbacking and expert passing of Stan Heath, Nevada trounced nine of 10 opponents. It lost to Villanova in the Harbor Bowl in San Diego. Ex-FBI Agent Sheeketski, a wartime FBI agent, quit an assistant coachship at Iowa to come to Nevada. Last autumn he announced his candidacy for the board of regents. The announcement drew both cheers and acid criticism. Some said the former Holy Cross head coach wanted to be his own boss. Regent Al Hilliard, a Reno at-Turf by the Surf Opened Today for 40 Racing Days DEL MAR (P)—Del Mar opened its twelfth racing season today with 10,000 watching the inaugural handicap. The weather was balmy and Del Mar was jammed with tourists. Race track officials anticipate an increase of 10 per cent in the betting handle during the 40-day meeting. The track's average daily handle last year was $45,088. Del Mar will hold eight races Mondays through Fridays with nine on Saturdays and there will be a daily double on the first two The season will continue six days a week until Sept. 8. Today's inaugural purse attracted 10 starters at six furlongs, with Reigh's Bull shaping up as the public favorite. He won his last two races at Hollywood Park. Others in the $5000 event were Count Lahey, Breviette, Rado Kid Wire Flash, Simonsez, Competing War Rings and Endorser. Del Mar's capacity of 1100 stall for horses is about filled. Super Chief Honored Soon Wallace J. "Chief" Newman, be loved former football and baseball coach at Whittier college, will probably be honored by legion of his Southland friends at a testimonial barbecue Friday evening at Hadley Field in Whittier. Open to all persons who have revered the big mentor during his 22 years of devoted service to Whittier college and its athletics teams, the affair will enable many civic groups, institution and citizens of Whittier and surrounding area to honor Newman in body. Associated Men Students Organization of the college will sponsor the barbecue in honor of Newman.

The announcement drew both cheers and acid criticism. Some said the former Holy Cross head coach wanted to be his own boss. Regent Al Hilliard, a Reno attorney, said if both he and Sheeketski won, he would make sure Sheeketski was fired as coach. Sheeketski then withdrew. He said he had never intended to run, adding his only purpose was to attract public attention to the university's need of financial support. The one time Notre Dame half-back star said the Wolfpack needed $30,000 a year for athletic scholarships and without that Nevada couldn't field a team.

Either the guy is blessed with uncanny foresight or else he is just plain lucky. How else could he have mapped out a schedule that brings together the four top teams today and right on through the next seven games? Specifically, the pace-setting Yankees and the red hot Cleveland Indians battle it out for the league lead today, tomorrow and Thursday. At the same time, the Boston Red Sox, tied with the Indians for second place, slug it out with the fourth-place Chicago White Sox. On Friday they switch. Chicago comes to the Yankee stadium for a four-game series while Cleveland travels to Boston for a three-game set at Fenway Park. Is that top notch schedule making or not? Today's card puts New York's Vic Rashi (13-6) against Cleveland's Early Wynn (10-9) and Chicago's Howie Judson (4-2) against Boston's Maury McDermott (5-5) or Leo Kelly (2-9). The Yankee-Indians game is an afternoon affair. The Red Sox and White Sox clash under the lights. At present, only two per centage points separate the Yankees from the deadlocked Indians and Red Sox. The Yankees are first place," he said. "And once we get up there, we won't give it up." Cleveland's Al Lopez declined to make any prediction but was enthualastic over his club's improved hitting and pitching during the past four weeks which saw the Tribe pick up eight games on the leaders. "I have a feeling the hitting will get still better," the popular pilot said. "I don't know who will win, but it won't be decided until the last few days." The Yankees begin a 17-game home stand in first place although they played no better than 500 ball in their recent road trip. "This is our big chance to take a good-sized lead," said manager Casey Stengel. "The main idea is to win both series (Cleveland and Chicago). If we can do that we knock down two contenders when it counts most and maybe we'll also be doing a bit of gaining on the Red Sox." Only one game was played in the majors yesterday and that was a real slugfest. The Boston Braves nipped the Pirates, 15-11, under the lights at Pittsburgh. The Braves scored the winning run in the eighth when Roy Hartisfield singled pinch runner Sibby Sisti home. Ralph Kiner hit his 25th homer for Pittsburgh. The National league's eastern teams swing into the west today with Brooklyn holding an 81%-82% chance of winning. Rainbows Roar Over Garden Grove, 14-11 The Roaring Rainbows work league game from Garden Grove yesterday afternoon at the C park. It was their third w against two defeats. After giving Garden Grove for runs in the first and three m in the second the Rainbows settled down and went to wo themselves to score three runs the first on a walk single by Denis Fitzpatrick and a triple Tom Frank. In the second the Rainbows scored nine runs two walks, two errors, and sixes by Fitzpatrick, Butch Raker, Bill Bielefeld, Richard Blanckeyer, and doubles by Tou Franks, and Blankmeyer. In the fourth Anaheim scored four runs on two walks, two errors and doubles by Fitzpatrick, Blanckeyer and Rudy Lopez.

The Yankee-Indians game is an afternoon affair. The Red Sox and White Sox clash under the lights. At present, only two per centage points separate the Yankees from the deadlocked Indians and Red Sox. The Yankees are playing .609 ball, the Indians and Red Sox .607. All four managers are optimistic, even Paul Richards of the sagging White Sox. Although dismayed by four straight losses to Washington which knocked his men out of first place into the bottom of the first division, Richards was far from discouraged. "Look," he pointed out. "We lost 10 out of 14 at home. Yet we fell only two and a half games behind the others. If we can keep pace with Cleveland, Boston and New York on the road, we'll be in good shape for the finish." O'Neill Confident Steve O'Neill, Red Sox pilot, is confident his team will win the pennant. He explained his charges begin a 18-game stand at home where the Red Sox are almost invincible. They've captured 30 of 40 tilts in Fenway Park thus far. "We should leave Fenway in De-Emphasis of Sports Urged by Commissioners COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.

Sanchez was in trouble only in the third inning. This is where Alex scored their one run on their two singles by Ed Bielefeld and Bill Metcalf, and an outfield error. Joe's had scored one run in the top of the third on an error, by the third baseman and then an error by the right fielder. In the sixth they scored two runs on a walk, triple by Duran and a single by Esparza. This was Joe's second win of the season and moved Alex Tamale into a tie for second with Grace Lutheran, who won by forfeit from Lehr's last night.

The slower pace is asked in a policy statement adopted yesterday at the annual meeting of the National Association of Collegiate Commissioners (NACC), representing the nation's ten major collegiate athletic conferences. They declare "undesirable trends" are impairing the "ideal of college athletics as a healthy activity outlet for the students." The public, alumni and others were asked by the NACC to understand "continued existence of college athletics depends upon the maintenance of a game and sound balance in the life of the student athlete under which he must be a student primarily and an athlete incidentally." Conferences represented in the NACC are the eastern, western (Big Ten). Big Seven. Missouri valley, southern, southeastern, southwest, mountain states (Skyline Eight), border and Pacific coast. The commissioners suggested: 1. Definite restrictions upon or elimination of out-of-season practice in all sports, particularly spring practice in football and basketball. 2. Curtailment of sports schedules to a more limited number of games, and to the avoidance of overlapping of seasons in the various major sports. 3. The preservation of institutional control of athletics free from the interference of outside pressures, including those of alumni or other groups."

Stars' Ben Wade In Duel with Oaks' Hardy at Gilmore (By The Associated Press) The Pacific Coast League-leading Seattle Rainiers, boasting a six-game bulge after taking four out of five from their nearest challenger, Hollywood, begin a road trip tonight against San Diego, co-sharer of the basement with the San Francisco Seals. San Diego has shown evidence of being on the upgrade but the loss of their team batting leader, Clarence Maddern, to the Cleveland Indians will not help them through any clutches against Seattle, which hasn't dropped a series since early June. Hollywood, trying to repair its fences and be ready for the next "crooshial" against Seattle in the cinema capital next month, is home for a nine-game stay and entertains Oakland tonight. Seattle and Hollywood are the only clubs playing .500 or better ball. They have 49 games left to play, Seattle 24 at home, Hollywood 30. Each plays San Diego. Sacramento, Oakland and Los Angeles almost the same number of games. In the odd series, Seattle will meet Portland and the Stars face San Francisco. Seattle will send Jim Davis (9-4 or Earl Johnson) against San Diego's Red Embree (6-12) tonight while Oakland's Red Hardy, (0-1), faces Hollywood's Ben Wade., (7-6).
