Joe Louis Over Looking Rocky POMPTON LAKES, N. J. (UP)—As long as either Jersey Joe Walcott or Ezzard Charles is heavyweight champion, Joe Louis will keep on chasing after the golden crown. The old Brown Bomber made that clear today as he resumed practice for his Oct. 26 ten rounder with undefeated Rocky Marciano in Madison Square Garden. Asked how long he intended to keep on fighting, Joe said "As long as either Walcott or Charles is champion, I'm going to keep on chasing." "I don't know how long that's going to be, but I'll be waiting. I can beat them." "Of course if some 23-year-old kid comes along and wins the title somehow, then I guess I'll have to call it quits. Cause then, by the time I get a shot, my grey beard will be hanging around my knees," Joe grinned. Louis is 37. So is Walcott in the record books. But many in the business believe he is past 40. Charles is 30. Louis defeated Walcott in both of their clashes but was badly beaten by Charles in their single meeting. The Old Bomber, hitting hard as ever with his left and still working on his once feared right. Jam Up at the Polls in the Local Gazette-Merchant Football Quarterfinals When the masterminds of Anaheim get their football clicking, they really reel off the winners, that is if the past the Merchants-Gazette football contest can be used as an ejection for that matter, around the state or nation, there are many ties in the popular football contests, but here in there are ties every week. It's truly amazing the number of contestants that can pick the winners of the different football games around the nation. There were only three tops in this weeks poll, but for the runner-ups there was a jam up. While the winners had 19 out of a possible 24 correct, the second placeers, all 17 of 'em, had 18 right, which is a good measuring stick as to where the football "brains" live. Here is the list of the ones who missed by one of tying for first place. Perfie Peralto, of 600 E. Cypress st.; Todd Pool, of 118 N. Santa Fe; Bill Sanders, 1100 W. Center; Bob Pottberg, 203 S. Cherry; Jerry Friday, 406 W. Vermont; Rudy Main, 12304 S. Painter, Norwalk; Dick Gay, 726 S. Claudina; Aaron Peralta, 600 E. Cypress; Mrs. Betty Rogers, 1225 E. Oak; Ellen Tanghey, 407 N.

Bellina; Albert Saucee Broadway; Carol Badge Orange; Chuck Bourne Olive; Don Allen, 106 W. Frank Dorell Jr., 327 S. The list of winners must surely have been so of record. Maybe the larger ber of winners taking the smallest amount of money. Baseball's Right Rule to Chance COLUMBUS, O., (UP)—Rigid rule against the high school students hoarding a compromise today. George M. Trautman, of the Minor Leagues, snite progress toward a national lation was made yesterday session of baseball and hilmen. The present agreement Louis is 37. So is Walcott in the record books. But many in the business believe he is past 40. Charles is 30. Louis defeated Walcott in both of their clashes but was badly beaten by Charles in their single meeting. The Old Bomber, hitting hard as ever with his left and still working on his once feared right, hopes to get another crack at Ezzard in Miami in February. He'll have to get past Marciano first. Joe may be looking too far ahead. The 27-year-old Marciano, winner of all 37 of his pro bouts, 32 by knockouts, is rated high by the bookmakers. They've made Louis a bare 5 to 7 favorite. Louis won't make any prediction but it's obvious he expects to tame the Brockton baser. "He's a puncher and I like to fight a puncher," added Louis. "I guess he won't change his style none. Let him keep coming in. It should be an exciting evening." Duke University, which started playing football in 1888, rolled up its biggest victory margin in 1891 when it defeated Furman, 96-0.

Baseball's Rigid Rule to Change COLUMBUS, O., (UP)—Baseball's rigid rule against the signing of high school students headed toward a compromise today. George M. Trautman, president of the Minor Leagues, said definite progress toward a new regulation was made yesterday at a session of baseball and high school men. The present agreement expires Scanning Sports BY STAN JONES Two years ago Fullerton High captured its third straight Sunset league football championship and I'll wager that practically every-one knows it or at least remembers it now. But who remembers who Anaheim played in the second practice game of the 1849 season or in the first game of the 1946 season or their third game of the 1948 season? Probably almost no one. And why? Well, why should they? They were just practice games and they really didn't mean so much that one would want to remember them now, in 1951. The thing one does remember most likely is the fact that the Fullerton Hi has captured the league title four years in a row and that Anaheim hasn't won a league title since way back before the war, the second World War, that is not the Civil War. And that's the important fact. Who cares what a certain team did in practice last year, or 10 years ago or even this year, unless the players did something sensational such as losing all of their games or winning all of 'em. The 1951 Colonist team has done neither and therefore no Horace Mann Still Undefeated in Loop Competition Horace Mann kept its record unblemished as its "B" team came from behind a 12-0 deficit to roll over Thomas Jefferson's "B" team 18-12 in the best "B" game to date. David Maxsom and Jim Meager, as before, were the standouts for the Jefferson team. Jim passed to David for the first TD, then Maxsom intercepted a pass on the next play, and went over again for his second touchdown of the afternoon. It was then that Coach Bruce of Horace Mann put in Joe Pisciotti, who was easily the standout of the game, Joe went 60 yards for the first Mann touchdown, then went 40 yards to set up the second TD. Hershal Welton scored the second Mann touchdown after Pisciotti's run had put the ball on Jefferson's four yard line. Again in the second half it was Pisciotti who scored what proved to be the winning touchdown on a beautiful run, in which almost every Jefferson player had a chance to stop him. He ran 45 yards on this last touchdown of the afternoon. "A" League Horace Mann W L Pct. Washington 1 1 .500 Jefferson 1 1 .500 Franklin 0 2 .000 "G" League Horace Mann W L Pct.

Spaulding spoke first that he still thought best team in the Sun and that he didn't around that could beat this year. He did think that the Oilers would be the game for the Indians in race and he felt that Saturday night at would easily win the Indian Chief Spaulding that the Oilers were being "up" for the thought that the break-the game. Spaulding thoughtington would be tougher team the Warriors had far in-the season and it would compare with Jordan whom he rated. The Fullerton coach from what he had seen Sucess, Oller end, was in the league next to his of Larry Kraemer and Lying In The Weeds Ed Goddard, ex-Fullcoach and now starting year at the beach, said Oilers were lying in Rule to Change COLUMBUS, O., (UP)—Baseball's rigid rule against the signing of high school students headed toward a compromise today. George M. Trautman, president of the Minor Leagues, said definite progress toward a new regulation was made yesterday at a session of baseball and high school men. The present agreement expires Jan. 1. It bars the signing of a high school player while he's in school, or before his class is graduated if he leaves school. Baseball men said they wanted to remove restrictions against even contacting scholastic players. They said they should have the right to talk to prospective professional players and offer advice on whether they should play other sports which might endanger their diamond careers. Trautman indicated some sort of compromise probably would be offered at the minor league meetings here in early December. Details remained to be worked out. The University of Alabama and the University of Tennessee have played 33 football games. Alabama has won 17, Tennessee 12, and four have ended in ties. World War, that is, not the Civil War. • And that's the important fact. Who cares what a certain team did in practice last year, or 10 years ago or even this year, unless the players did something sensational such as losing all of their games or winning all of them. • The 1951 Colonist team has done neither and therefore cannot be called sensational, unless it would be the statement about how they play such tight ball the first half of a game then fall by the wayside in the third and fourth periods. • But even that doesn't make them sensational compared to one that wins enough games to capture the league title, such as Fullerton and Santa Ana JC. People will be talking about the Fullerton team for years and comparing future greats with them, and the same for Santa Ana JC. • What I'm trying to say is that the team that wins the league title, the one that captures the prizes and the one that brings home the bacon is the team that is remembered. Why? Because it is the good team. It is the best team in that particular league for that particular year and it is the team that all other schools will be shooting for the coming season. It is a championship team and a winning team, full of color and spirit—it is a team that everyone wants to see in action and wants to be identified with. The practice season is over for the 1951 year and all teams are ready for the start of the coming league season this week end. Some individuals are already picking certain teams to beat as a result of their pre-league record or others are stamping certain teams for the cellar position. And I think that's a lot of hooey. Why, if Director of Athletics Dick Glover and Head Football Coach, Clare Van Hoorebeke, had wanted a fine impressive record to take into the league opener they could have scheduled games benefit them in the more lucrative league race. What difference does it make what kind of win-loss record one takes into the league race? Either 4-0 or 0-4 it still is the one who wins the league race that gets all the praises. They are the team that gets the honor to advance into the CIF playoffs, not the teams that rolled up a 4-0 practice... individuals are already picking certain teams to beat as a result of their pre-league record or others are stamping certain teams for the cellar position. ● And I think that's a lot of hooey. Why, if Director of Athletics Dick Glover and Head Football Coach, Clare Van Hoorebeke, had wanted a fine impressive record to take into the league opener they could have scheduled games with Brca, Valencia, Garden Grove, Bellflower, Laguna Beach and Tustin. ● And chances are, they would have had a win-loss record of 4-0 for their pre-league games this year if they had so wished it. ● On the other hand, they could very easily have arranged games with powerhouses such as San Diego, Long Beach Poly, Whittier, Monrovia, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Alhambra and Inglewood and chances are the locals would then be sporting a pre-league record of 0-4. As it was, the coaches arranged for teams that they thought would give the locals a run for their money, but at the same time would not run too fast and as the season turned out, they were just about right. ● The locals didn't come out of the four game slate with loads of injuries, nor did they come out of it with an embarrassing or impressive record. They didn't intend to. ● All they wanted was to get some worthwhile practice and experience which they hoped would benefit them in the more lucrative league race. ● What difference does it make what kind of win-loss record one takes into the league race? Either 4-0 or 0-4 it still is the one who wins the league race that gets all the praises. They are the team that gets the honor to advance into the CIF playoffs, not the teams that rolled up a 4-0 practice record. ● So, the pre-league records don't mean very much. Coaches are usually experimenting with different players and different plays—then when the league race starts they know just what plays work and the players who can make them work the best. But the practice season is over and now comes the hard work of racing through the league competition with the will to win, no matter what kind of record the home team had or the opponent had. Huntington Beach was undefeated in its four games, while Santa Ana didn't win a game, but look at the kind of competition they were playing. ● Anaheim did very well considering the type of competition it was up against and although some of the players might tend to feel "oh, what's the use, I'm playing on a losing team; one that can win only one mere game in four fries." ● That definitely is the wrong attitude. The past is over and a newer field is ready to be conquered by someone. Spaulding Predicts Winner of Oiler Fullerton Game will Win League Title Ed Goddard, head football coach at Huntington Beach High school was the guest speaker at the Anaheim-Fullerton Quarterback Club this morning at the club center in Fullerton and spoke along with Fullerton High coach Dick Spaulding in regard to their Sunset League opener Saturday night at Huntington. Spaulding spoke first and stated that he still thought he had the best team in the Sunset League and that he didn't see anyone around that could beat the Indians this year. He did think that the game with the Oilers would be the toughest game for the Indians in the league race and he felt that the winner Saturday night at Huntington would easily win the league title. Indian Chief Spaulding did think that the Oilers were capable of being "up" for the game and thought that the breaks could win the game. Spaulding thought that Huntington would be tougher than any team the Warriors had faced thus far in the season and thought they would compare with Long Beach Jordan whom he rated the tops. The Fullerton coach stated that from what he had seen that Bob Sucess, Oller end, was the best in the league next to his own pair of Larry Kraemer and Elvin Boyd. Lying In The Weeds Ed Goddard, ex-Fullerton JC coach and now starting his first year at the beach, said that the Oilers were lying in the weeds. Too Many Know Too Much Tex Oliver, commenting on the Chaffey game, which the Hornets won, felt that too many people thought they knew too much about football and were in a position to criticize the coach for playing certain players at a certain time. Oliver thought that they would be in rather good shape for their Friday night game in the Rose Bowl with Pasadena City College, who is undefeated and trying for a Little Rose Bowl bid. He has lost his ace linebacker and top notch left tackle due to lack of school-book work and thought they might be the difference in the outcome. Walt Lundsford, head track coach made a pitch for the coming cross-country meet Thursday at the local college oval with LACC and powerful Occidental College. In two meetings thus far this year the two teams have broken even by winning one and losing one to each other: Hard Running Barnes Oxy is headed by NCAA champ of last year in the 880 yard run, John Barnes and Bob McMillian, who was a member of the Olympic team in 1948. Barnes is one of the few athletes who has run the 880 in under 1:52s. While McMillian has run the mile in 4:07.8s. The Hornets top ace is Dick Johnson from New Mexico who can reportedly step the mile in under 4:20s. He has led the Yellow Jackets to dual meet victories over Compton, East L.A., and Chafay Falls to Leone and 1400 At OCAC Ring Baron Leone, heavyweight wrestling king last night proved too rough and strong—and lucky for Roger Mackay before 1400 fans at the Orange County Athletic club. The Baron won two out of three falls and the main event of a thrilling four-pout card. Mackay took the first fall. Baron the two finals and the match. Carlos Guzman upset Judo Jack Terry to capture the scheduled two out of three fall semis in straight falls. He made a terrific hit with fans in halting the winning streak of the judo expert. Terry was disqualified in the first session. Don Arnold and Dave Levin waged one of the best scientific matches ever witnessed at the OCAC in the special. It went the 30 minute limit, with referee Hank Matheny calling it a draw. Dick Denfeld, a guard on the Navy grid team, is the nephew of Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, retired Chief of Naval Operations. The Fullerton coach stated that from what he had seen that Bob Sucess, Oller end, was the best in the league next to his own pair of Larry Kraemer and Elvin Boyd. Lying In The Weeds Ed Goddard, ex-Fullerton JC coach and now starting his first year at the beach, said that the Oilers were lying in the weeds and waiting for Saturday. The ex-All American halfback realized that his team had been playing weak opponents compared to Fullerton's, but he still insisted that they would be more than ready for the contest. He said he figured the weight averages for the two teams and that his linemen outweighted the Braves by three pounds per man. He stated that in the game last week against Garden Grove, Fullerton had two game officials on the field and should have a fairly good scouting report; then he added that Anaheim has Shirk and Keith working the Fullerton-Huntington game and he feels that he hasn't got a winning chance against such odds. He introduced his two co-captains, student body president Jim Boeker, right halfback, and center Floyd Russell. Goddard felt too that who ever won the game would go on and win the league title. 10.
