Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Waldorf's Bears Again Appear Team to Beat in Coast Football LOS ANGELES (P) — Football practice gets underway at the major colleges on the Pacific Coast tomorrow, and once again it appears that California’s Bears will be the team to beat for top honors in the Far West. The initial day of fall practice at the Pacific Coast conference schools, as well as such big independents as Loyola of Los Angeles and Santa Clara, seldom produces much excitement and even less hard work. Coaches generally reserve the occasion for news cameramen, the issuance of equipment, and privately, to deliver inaugural addresses on the state of the universities to the assembled athletes. That will be much the pattern from Seattle to Los Angeles tomorrow, with the various teams waiting until next week to get down to the business of intra-squad myhem. Most of the Coast conference teams will be well stocked with lettermen, such as the 21 heading back to the Berkeley campus of the Bears, the 27 at Stanford, the 24 at Washington State, the 22 at Washington, UCLA and Southern California. Squads will range downward from the expected 125 at Washington, 95 at Southern California; the 90 at California, 85 at UCLA, 85 at Idaho and 71 at Washington State. It seems that none of California is not eligible to compete for the fourth straight year in the Rose Bowl against the Big Ten representative, what with the new two-year non-repeater agreement. But there is nothing in the books to keep the large Bears under Coach Lynn O. Waldorf from continuing their domination of the conference. Mr. Waldorf’s teams have been beaten but once in regular season since he took over in 1947. Washington which dropped a 14-7 thriller to the Bears last year; will greet its two outstanding backfield stars, passer Don Heinrich and fullback Hugh Meel Elhenny. Coach Howie Odell also hopes to welcome a stronger line. Leading challengers to the top two teams, and listed at random, are UCLA, Stgndford and USC, with Oregon State, Oregon, Washington State and Idaho outsiders.

Most observers expect California and Washington to lead the parade in the conference and Loyola to top the independents. Opinion is about evenly divided between Washington and Call.

Seattle Looks Like the Winning Coast League Comes Down Side (By The Associated Press) Seattle is five up with 13 games to go today in its drive to capture the Pacific Coast league pennant in Rogers Hornsby's first season at the helm. The Rainiers whipped the hustling Portland club last night, 7 to 5, as Jim Rivera singled in the ninth inning to drive in the winning run. Hec Brown went the distance on the mound for the winners.

At the same time, Anaheim city tax rate was set at $1.10. An increase of about $2,500,000 in the valuation of public utility property in the county was not enough to lower the tax rate further, it was stated. To avoid refining new valuations for each of the numerous taxing districts in the county, the supervisors met the problem by increasing the increased allowance for tax delinquency, which had been set at five per cent. The board also set tax rates for the seven cities where the county does the assessing and tax collecting. They were: Anaheim $1.10, Brea $1.70, Fullerton $1.685, Huntington Beach $1.48, Laguna Beach $1.297, La Habla $1.40, Santa Ana (excluding 1946 and 1948 taxes) $1.874. Wrigley OKs PCL Threat (By The Associated Press) P. K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, apparently stands alone among the major leaguers in endorsing the Pacific Coast league's threat to withdraw from organized baseball unless it is exempted from the player draft and granted major league status. Wrigley also owner of the Los Angeles club of the Coast league, declared yesterday someone has to break up the baseball monopoly." "All baseball regulations are based on a plan allowing the player to advance as far as he can and as rapidly as he can. But," he asked, "what is there in baseball regulations that will allow a league likewise to improve its standing?" Wrigley said the Coast league is only trying to get back where it was before it joined the National association. "Quite a few promises were made," he said, when the PCL joined the National association some 20 years ago. "Until that time Coast league players were not subject to the major league draft. The Coast league is a minority bound with the agreement. Seventy per cent of the minor league clubs are owned by major league teams. The coast league has only one vote out of 50-odd as one of that many in the minor league group." The PCL's membership in the association expires Jan. 12, 1952. But other major league executives were not in accord with Wrigley's views. WALLEY TAPT (LIGHT), Santa Ana City Golf Club, puts his name "on the line" for the Championship play starting Saturday at the Willowick course.

St. Boniface and Bethel Win; Lutherans vs. Merchants Tonight St. Boniface and Bethel Win; Lutherans vs. Merchants Tonight St. Boniface and Bethel Baptist battled their way into the finals of the Church League Shaughnessy Playoffs finals last night, as Church of Christ fell before St. Boniface 7 to 5 and White Temple lost to Bethel Baptist 5 to 2. Tonight at 7:15, Grace Lutheran meets the Merchants in the final game of their two out of three playoff for the right to meet the Magnolia Stars for the city championship. Art Altheide will probably battle Frank Perez on the mound. The hitters took over last night in the first game as St. Boniface upset the defending champions in two straight games. A tour run blast in the fifth did the trick. Mike Patin walked to open the frame. Bud Stoffel was safe on an error, but John Patin forced his brother and Stehly grounded out. With two out, Van Berckler singled, Carl Helm doubled and Franny Patin singled and the damage was done. The Saints had netted a single run in the first inning on a walk, Johnny Patin's single and a short outfield fly. They tallied twice more in the third, on singles by Bud Stoffel and John Patin and an error in centerfield. 2nd Double-Header Girl’s Softball Game Set Tonight Four top-notch girl’s softball teams square off tonight in the second double-header of the current Regional Girl’s Softball tournament at Buena Park. Culver City tackles La Mesa tonight at 7:30 for the first game and Monrovia meets Buena Park Lynx at 8:45 for the second. Church of Christ made a game of it by snagging all their runs in two big innings. Gerry Baker doubled, Lichtenwalter walked, and Don Schilling singled for two runs in the fourth inning. They scored three more in the sixth, on a walk, an error by the right-fielder, a walk, and Don Schillings long triple. That ended their scoring and left them far short. White Temple took a one run lead in the first inning as Al Barian singled, moved to second on an infield out, and scored on Leo Oden’s single. That one run was good until the fourth, when the Baptists’ big bats finally paid off for two tallies. Dennis Denny got a hit, Carl Bernickerer, repeated, Gus Stark walked and Herb Hamilton got his third successive bit to score two runs. White Temple tied it right up in the bottom of the fourth, as Stark lost momentary control and gave up a single to Duane Duncan and three walks for one run. Back came the Baptists. A walk and one base hits by Eric Hartmann and Lee Mims and an infield out scored two runs. That was enough to win, but they added one more to the score in the sixth.
