Gazette SPORTS Colonists Race Through Short Scrimmage Friday–More Slated By STAN JONES Coach Clare Vah Hoorebeke put his varsity football charges through a short, but interesting scrimmage Friday afternoon on the local practice field—the first full length-of-field drill of the season. Johnny Steinborn and Jimmy Roberts were elected captains of their respective teams and they in turn took turns selecting members for their squads. Steinborn's "yellow" team won 7-0 in a game that normally takes the time of about one-half in a regular game. Roberts teams could make only four yards in the first three downs, so they kicked to Ira Webber who was then stopped on a beautiful tackle by Fred Head. Aaron Peralta went over left guard for seven, then three for a first down. Webber made five while another first down was rolled up when Lenny Kolb tossed a perfect pass to Jim Holve over center. Philpott Throws Kolb Webber carried the ball twice, but could gain only five yards. Steinborn, in crashing over center picked up one and the drive finally ended when Dean Philpott threw Kolb back for a five yard loss. Roberts made a speedy run around his own right end for nine, but fumbled for a "yellow" recovery by Al Clayes. Webber carried the ball twice and picked up three yards; Kolb guard as the whistle blew ending the contest which saw his team win, 7-0. The scrimmage was by no means successful, but it did give the coaches a wonderful chance to pick the men from the boys. Now, that the squad has been cut down, practice will proceed more swiftly these next three days. The Colonists will taper off Thursday, but will be seen in their season opener Friday at 7:30 in La Palma Park against Redlands High—the team that lost only one game last season—that to Compton by one point in the CIF semi-finals.

The Champ in Ring Tonight at 8:30 The Champ, 240-pound under feated grappler from Minnesota star of TV’s “Best the Champ” program, tonight faces one of the toughest tests of his career at the Orange County Athletic club. Heralded as the “uncrowned heavyweight wrestling champion and boasting that he hasn’t been defeated in four years and only twice in his career. The Champ meets clever Pat McGill of Ardmore, Okla., in a three fall to finish match on a “Ladies Night” program. Ladies will be admitted free except for ticket tax payment. The McGill-Champ clash will share-the-spotlight with a three fall, 45 minute clash between Brother Frank, the Utah “Mormon mat maniac” and popular Dave Levin, former world champion Levin last week upset “Wildcat” Lennihan. “Digger” O’Dell, a power-for truck driver, makes his debut in the special. He gets one of the toughest of the heavyweight Krippner Karl Davis. The 8:30 o'clock opener show Paul Matty, Los Angeles, and co-owner “Red Shoes”. Dugan. “Red Shoes” is said to be one of the fastest grapplers on the mat. Webber carried the ball twice, but could gain only five yards. Steinborn, in crashing over center picked up one and the drive finally ended when Dean Philpott threw Kolb back for a five yard loss. Roberts made a speedy run around his own right end for nine, but fumbled for a "yellow" recovery by Al Clayes. Webber carried the ball twice and picked up three yards; Kolb then surprised all, but Hove, when he tossed one to Gentlemen Jim who then carried the ball over the goal for six points in a play that ate up 42 yards. Kolb held the ball for the try for the extra point and Webber made it good to put the Steinborns out in front 7-0, late in the first period. Trickiest play of the afternoon came from the "whites" when Frank Cancino passed to right end Dead Philpott who then lateraled to Roberts for a net gain of 16 yards. Two New Subs Johnny Herrera made four over left guard as the whistle blew ending the first period of play. Each side then had to make at least two substitutions in the game—members that hadn’t seen any previous action. Herrera started the second period off in grand form by banging over left tackle for ten yards. El Peralta, probably made the toughest play of the afternoon when he bullied his way over left guard for six yards with no interference and three or four defenders draped all over his body. Herrera made one, but the drive came to an abrupt halt when Ronnie Sanchez picked off one of Cancino’s passes. Webber then reeled off chunks of 11, 3 and 12 yards to start another drive. Kolb threw a pitch out to Aaron Peralta for no gain, and a Kolb to Hove pass was incomplete, but Steinborn kept the drive alive by smashing 12 yards over left guard. Steinborn Picks Up 2 Kolb was trapped on a pass play, but broke away for a two-yard gain; Kolb passed to Hove over center for 12 yards to start another drive toward the goal. Dons Drop Grid Tilt To El Toro As Vikings Lose Bob Umphress, ex-Garden Grove Hi ace, scored both Santa Ana Don touchdowns, but it just wasn’t enough as the powerful, El Toro Marines scored one more to win the Orange county grid opener in Santa Ana’s Bowl by the score. 19-13. The Flying Bulls scored first when quarterback Roy Tettleton threw a pass to end Dave Culmer—play going for a distance of 73 yards. Long Beach City college, the defending national jc champs, took it on the chin again from their alumni by the tight score, 9-0 in a game played in the new Veterans Memorial stadium before some 5000 people. The yellow shirted Alumni gridsters drove down to the Vikings 23 yard line then with fourth down they tried a field goal, which was good. This was in the third quarter and again in the fourth they scored again only this time it was good for six points. The damage to the Vikings was done on a pass from the T-quarterback to his left end who caught the pass in the end zone, behind the defensive right halfback. The Vikes lost their game to the Alumni last year then rolled over all opposition in sight for a national title. Cup Playoffs at Gilmore Field Kolb threw a pitch out to Aaron Peralta for no gain, and a Kolb to Holve pass was incomplete, but Steinborn kept the drive alive by smashing 12 yards over left guard. Steinborn Picks Up 2 Kolb was trapped on a pass play, but broke away for a two-yard gain; Kolb passed to Holve over center for 12 yards to start another drive toward the goal. Aaron Peralta didn't make anything over right tackle, but Steinborn picked up three over right back to his left end who caught the pass in the end zone, behind the defensive right halfback. The Vikes lost their game to the Alumni last year then rolled over all opposition in sight for a national title. Cup Playoffs at Gilmore Field (By The Associated Press) Seattle and Hollywood, the one-two finishers in the Pacific Coast League, shift to Hollywood tonight to close out their post-season battle for $10,000 and the Governor's Cup. The Champion, Rainiers, and second place Stars, each holding a handle of the cup after a two-game series at Seattle, are slated to go at least two more games in the best-of-five playoffs finals. Seattle eliminated Los Angeles and Hollywood ousted Portland in semi-finals last week. Knuckleballer Johnny Lindell spaced seven hits yesterday to keep the Stars in the running with a 4-1 victory. The league champions blanked the visitors 3-0 in the opener Saturday. Lindell narrowly missed a shut-in warm and humid weather there is so much moisture in the air that static electrical charges are carried away and do not accumulate. Static electric effects therefore occur most readily in cold, dry weather. Statistics show that more crimes, suicides and insanity occur in summer than at any other time of the year. Champ in Ring Night at 8:30 Flam, Schroeder Might Make Davis Cup Tennis Team LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Davis Cup tennis team may present a revised slate of personnel when it tackles the defending champion Australians in December. Non-playing captain Francis X. Shields said today he would recommend to the American selections committee that veteran Ted Schroeder be added to the team, and there is a possibility that Herb Flam will replace Tony Trabert when the latter is inducted into the Navy Sept. 24. This was the trend after the triumph of Australia's No. one player, Frank Sedman, for the second straight year in the Pacific southwest tournament yesterday. Sharing the Laurels with Sedgman was little Maureen Connolly of San Diego. The new U.S. singles queen, who celebrates her 17th birthday today, won the women's crown from ambidextrous Beverly Baker of Santa Monica, 9-7, 6-4. Sedgman's win was hardly unexpected, but at the offset it looked like he's make a walkaway with it. He ran through the first two sets in 37 minutes. But, Trabert stiffened. Sedgman, who had been stretched to five sets in a grim battle the day before by Flam, played in contrast against Trabert with more rushes to the net and aggressiveness. Indians Drop Tough One to Yankees While Bosox Pull Up (By The Associated Press) New York's defending champion Yankees still win the big ones—and that is why they're back in first place today. Because of their ability to rise to the occasion, because they self-dom folded in the clutch, and because they were able to beat the team in front of them, the Yankees won the flag in 1949 and '50. History simply repeated itself yesterday when the Bronx Bombers crushed Cleveland, 5-1, and replaced the Indians at the top of the American league. At the same time, Boston's third-place Red Sox remained right in the thick of things by beating the Chicago White Sox, 5-4, and climbing to within 2½ games of the top. Anniversary Win The Yankee victory came on the anniversary of their taking the league lead a year ago. Only on Sept. 16, 1950, it was the Tigers they beat to grab a lead they never lost. New York's first-place hold is a precarious three percentage points and it can be expingled today if Ed Lopat loses to Cleveland's Bob Lemon in the last meeting between the two clubs. Up to now, however, the Indians have shown a pathetic ineptness at the Yankee Stadium. Of 10 games on the Yankees' home grounds they have won only one. Allie Reynolds, whom the Indians traded to the Yankees in the winter of '46, wielded the tomahawk, however; that this contest reached its most dramatic point, as far as the capacity one of 68,760 was concerned. Into Cooked Hats The Yankees, leading 3-1, a runner on third with two avail., Cleveland strategy dictated an entional pass to the lefthand Yogi Berra so the righthanded Feller could pitch to Joe Dilufo. It was the third time in Maggio's illustrious career—coming this season—that a ball was passed to get at Joe. It was the first time at the stadium. The Yankee clipper knocked strategy into a cocked hat—slammed Feller out of the box—a two-run triple that rolled to left-center field fence 457 away. The victory was the 15th Reynolds. Five of these have come over Cleveland. Feller, whose victories loads all hurriers, charged with his eighth set and his third in four duels with Reynolds. Yanks only 13 The Indians, who move onto Boston tomorrow for a two-game series, have nine games left play. The Yankees have 13 in the Red Sox 14, but eight against each other. Lest it be forgotten, there is a pennant race in the National League. Two victories over Pittsburgh, 7-1 and 6-4, kept the hopes of the New York Giants alive as Brooklyn's first-pitcher shrink to 4½ games. "O'Dell, a powerful driver, makes his debut in social. He gets one of the best of the heavyweights, Karl Davis. 8:30 o'clock opener shows faintly, Los Angeles, and colored shoes." Dugan. "Red is said to be one of the grapplers on the mat. Sedgman, who had been stretched to five sets in a grim battle the day before by Flam, played in contrast against Trabert with more rushes to the net and aggressiveness. Up to now, however, the Indians have shown a pathetic inceptness at the Yankee Stadium. Of 10 games on the Yankees' home grounds they have won only one. Allie Reynolds, whom the Indians traded to the Yankees in the winter of '46, wielded the tomahawk yesterday. He set the Tribe back on five hits and drove in the winning run with a second-inning single. It was in the Yankee half of the football contest still is eight. That is the number of games they have to win in." BASEBALL STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE Lionettes Second Straight U.S. Title Champs for the second straight year.

Archer's "History of Radio to Rex Babcock Signs Baseball Contract Bek Babcock, the second Santa Anan this year, recently signed a pro baseball contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates by Howie Haak, chief West Coast scout for the Pirates. Early this season Bert Haysom signed with the Hollywood Stars and has been pitching batting practice for the Haney's. Babcock was selected on the CIF baseball team for the last two years as he was on the Sunset league's team at different positions—second base in 1950 and this year as a shortstop. He batted 364 in league play—good enough for the individual championship. He hit well over 400 in American Legion competition this summer, although he didn't play in all the Santa Ana games. Babcock, who stands an even six feet and weighs 170, is a top basketball forward, performing for the Saints varsity the last two years. He also won the scoring championship, although that is still in dispute. The first transatlantic cable ran from Newfoundland to Ireland. Wrestling 'Tonight All-Star — Four Bouts ORANGE COUNTY A.C.
