Gazette SPORT Colonist’s Open Football Season Tonight At La Palma Park Against Redlands Anaheim’s football team open their 1950 schedule of nine games tonight at La Palma park in a 7:30 encounter with Redlands High—the team that last season was rated one of the top three teams in the CIF. Both teams have been hard at practice for several weeks and both have more or less been pointing for this game tonight. Naturally, everyone tries to win the first game of the season. It gives the team members more confidence and poise; it gives the coaching staff a couple nights of restful sleep and it gives the fans something to boost about—all of which is good and natural. The Terriers, who lost only one game last year, their last one of the season, will try to duplicate their amazing feat again this year. They want to prove to all that they’re just about the same team as last year, although they lost by graduation all-CIF first string tackle, Bob Riesntra; halfback Mike Anderson who made the all-CIF second team; CIF thirdstringers Kay Smith, end, and Bill Moloney, tackle. Won’t Sit Idle Certainly one, such as Coach Ralph Weaver, can’t have the same power with those stars gone, but I would hate to think that he just sat back idle. last year’s results is a sound basis to go by; and since the Terriers had such a successful season there’s no reason changing. Pass on First Down They work from the T-formation and about 60 per cent of the time they will try passing on first down. If that makes yardage, they will probably try again the same play aid if that goes they will even try it again. They are definitely known as a defensive team, while a look at the results of last year’s results of the local team, it would seem that they were hot one game and cold the next. But one can’t judge or type a team by scores, since the coach may try and sweep the bench. The Colonists will present a very potent backfield in Lenny Kolb, Ira Webber, Eli Peralta and Johnny Steinborn and with these speedburners in the game there as last year, although they lost by graduation all-CIF first string tackle, Bob Riesntra; halfback Mike Anderson who made the all-CIF second team; CIF thirdstringers Kay Smith, end, and Bill Moloney, tackle. Won't Sit Idle Certainly one, such as Coach Ralph Weaver, can't have the same power with those stars gone, but I would hate to think that he just sat back idle. No, the Terriers are definitely "loaded." They have six lettermen of which two were first stringers last season—Jerry Martines, guard and Tom Linne, halfback. Both have been unbearable to their second stringers these past days—and will be the same to the Colonists. Linane is the same type of player that Leonard Weaver was last year for Anaheim. Both are fast, deceptive, vicious tacklers and hard runners. Both are stand-outs on the swimming team; Linane sharing in several records as a freestyleer. From the Redlands offense one is going to see a very unorthodox type of signal calling—that is if STARTING LINEUPS Hove LE McCuiley Robinsonky LT Stockham Cheese LG Bandy Hoffman G Stevens Miller RG Guerrobé Berg RT Strahl M Bass RE Strahl Kelb QB Van Dyke Webber LH Linane El Peralta RH Bumm Stickborn PB Goins Heartbeeke Cochr Weaver 1950 SEASON SCORES Redlands Opp. 37 Huntington Beach 7 27 Rosemead 0 35 Bonita 0 28 Colton 0 35 Riverside 6 46 Chaffey 0 35 San Bernardino 0 14 Pomona 6 7 South Gate 6 13 Pasadena 7 13 Compton 14 AUHS Opp. 35 Bell Gardens 0 24 Citrus 0 6 Coving 25 26 Huntington Beach 0 12 Fullerton 19 13 Newport Beach 35 36 Santa Ana 0 Bee Game at 6 P.M.

Los Angeles, St. Anahiem Anaheim has six lettermen returning from last years squad—three linemen and three backs. The linemen are headed by the rough and terrifying tackle, Tei Tanaka. Guard Dean Stokes holds down a portion of the line while the other letterman John Wright fills in at center. The three lettermen in the backfield are Don Davis, fullack who was a standout on the track team last season; Gayle Herbel, who has worked out in more positions than a lady wrestler. He has been moved from end to center to quarterback to left half to bench warmer. The sixth returning letterman is Bill Walker, 189-pound right half-back. Head Bee coach Sam Keith and his assistant Bill Hunstock plan to start Al Salaets at quarterback tonight. Salaets is a hard running back up from the Cee team of last year. He is one who likes to mix it up. Herbel will start at left half while Walker runs from the starboard side. Big, rough and tough, ready and willing to hurt the opponents, is fullback Don Davis. Davis has had a sore foot for the past several days, but will be ready to display some of his track speed in the game tonight. The line from the left side to the right reads like a program at the Olympic Auditorium on best nights. Starring from left end and racing across the line real fast one finds Duncan Berg, Troop, Wright, Stokes, Tanaka and Martin. Reminds one of the Notre Dame line a few years back.

Cleveland, idle yesterday, gets its big chance to storm into first place while the Yanks and Red Sox wrestle. The Indians play three games with Detroit, a team they have beaten 16 out of 17 times this season. Collins' blow off Chicago's Saul Rogovin with two on base in the eighth inning saved the Yanks from dropping out of the lead. Instead they opened up a half game edge on the Indians by a 5-4 victory over the White Sox. This is the same, Collins, a 27-year-oldster from Scranton, Pa., who used to play only the eighth and ninth inning for defensive purity. Junior College Games on Tap Junior College football competition gets under way tonight with the top game slated for the Rose Bowl where Pasadena City College tangles with Santa Ana. Both are pre-season choices to cop the bunting in their respective conferences. The game will be televised, the first JC game of the season, over Channel 9 (KHJ-TV). Jim Hardy, famed quarterback from USC, the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Cards, will do the announcing from the Bowl. The Dons will be missing their first string end, Frank Frese, who left school last week to serve as a witness in a trial in Lander, Wyo. Working out in the new position this past week have been Paul Esslinger, Del Brodell and Dale Cole. The Dons also lost not for just a few days, but for the season, their second string quarterback, Gordon Teaby, who transferred to Occanside JC. The Dons had already lost quarterback Dan Prall who became ineligible, but Anaheim's Jerry Dickenson will be trying to take up the slack. Over at Fullerton tonight the Hornets run into one of the strongest teams last year, but from all reports the El Camino Warriors are nothing to be afraid of this year. Game time there, as in the Rose Bowl, is 8 p.m. Fullerton started out in grand IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

Now he has practically retired Johnny Mize to pinch hitting chores. The part-time first baseman also saved the game with a dazzling backhand grab of Eddie Robinson's smash in the ninth inning. Rogovin had the Yanks eating out of his hand through the middle innings, retiring, 12 straight batters between the second to seventh innings. He took a 4-2 edge into the eighth. Phil Rizzuto opened the eighth with a single. Mize flied out, Mickey Mantle walked and Collins blast into the lower right field seats cost Rogovin his eighth loss.

THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIOT Oltral Editor STANLEY JONES Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G. E. NEILLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DOR YOUNG Circulation Manager WASHINGTON—It was never meant to be published, but Gen. J. Lawton Collins, the Army Chief of Staff, has written a private letter to the spokesman for the 88 discharged West Point cadets. In it he made the strange statement that while they were not good enough to be West Point officers they were still good enough to be Army officers. "I will say for the Army that your separation from West Point in itself will not be grounds for disbarment from the Reserve Officers' Training corps, officer candidate schools, or other similar programs under Army jurisdiction," General Collins wrote to the discharged cadets through caste. In contrast, General Marshall who retired last week, was not a West Pointer; while many civilian universities which turn out reserve officers maintain the highest ethical and academic standards. General Collins' letter explaining his policy, stated: "The frank admission of guilt and wholesome spirit of repentance which I find ... confirm my first impression that those involved in this affair, while openly admitting their violation of the cadet code of honor, are not fundamentally men of bad morals or character." Reasons for Lenency "Many of your group," General Collins continued, "have made partial amends for this past offense by the straightforward way in which you have assisted the authorities in investigating this." Mrs. P. H. Krick is visiting relatives and friends in San Diego. She will be absent about ten days. Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn of El Centro, who have been spending some weeks with relatives and friends in Anaheim and Fullerton, returned to their home the first of the week, accompanied by Mr. Holcomb who came up to get them. Mr. Holcomb states that the nights in the valley are quite cool but the days are still warm. "I will say for the Army that your separation from West Point in itself will not be grounds for disbarment from the Reserve Officers' Training corps, officer candidate schools, or other similar programs under Army jurisdiction," General Collins wrote to the discharged cadets through their spokesman, Herbert Johnson. In other words, Army's military boss officially recognizes what Reserve officers have so bitterly criticized, that the West Point clique is a separate and superior that you'll look forward to every hour behind the wheel of your Pontiac. And since this is a Pontiac we're talking about, you can be sure that your pleasure and pride will last a long, long time—for Pontiac is built to give you years and years of carefree pleasure. What about the price tag? Well, we think that's the best news of all—Pontiac is priced so low that if you can afford any new car you can easily afford a Pontiac! Come in and see. Reasons for Lenieney "Many of your group," General Collins continued, "have made partial amends for this past offense by the straightforward way in which you have assisted the authorities in investigating this matter and in putting the situation to rights." "I sincerely hope that you will all leave the Academy determined to redeem this early fault by the character of the lives which you lead hereafter." the best news of all—Pontiac is priced so low that if you can afford any new car you can easily afford a Pontiac!
