For the past several years Fullerton has been cleaning up the league honors as well as the championships, but this year stands like another team is going to get all the honors and that team could very well be Anaheim. It could be Anaheim for sure with their victory over Newport tomorrow night at La Palma Park and if they fail there they will get another chance the following week against Orange at the same field at La Palma Park. With the championship comes just as much or even more lucrative honors and it could all be headed towards the Colonists this year and in future years if they keep on playing as they have thus far this year. Slated for possible league honors on the local team are center, Gene Geselle; guard, Bill Miller; tackles, Dan Berg and Glenn Kaminsky; linebacker, Jim Roberts and backs, Johnny Steinborn, Lenny Kolb, and Aaron Peralta. Of course Ira Webber could be good enough to make the offensive team, that they are too slow, or that they can't carry a ball without fumbling it or for reasons that I could list for pages. But the whole truth is that half of the offensive players on team's today wouldn't last on a defensive team two minutes. They would be run out of the stadium by not only the coach, but by the fans in the stands. To play defense well today one needs to be fast, alert, have confidence, perception, depth and initiative. To be able to play game after game on defense takes a real player, one who really likes to play the game. They never get the publicity, never get to score two or three touchdowns in a game like the opportunity the offensive half has, although the defense is supposed to have more ways of scoring than the offensive unit. The one job on the football team that is considered just about the hardest position and roughest to play is the linebacking position. They stand one on two would be Anaheim's title-boy team will take the favorite to capture league victory of the row night at La Palm they host the New eleven in a 7:30 p.m. The Sailors are one of their worst sevens won only two out of tests, none of those competition. The Tars beat La Bonita, but have drove Riverside, Excelsior and opponents Orange, F Santa Ana. They thle season with their consistent Huntington Beach home field. Newport had a against the Indians although they met stringers about only the whole evening. The game 41-0 although roled up 12 firs the Braves 13, but could only gain 14 the ground and a merger in their 28-20 loss. Slated for possible league honors on the local team are center, Gene Geselle; guard, Bill Miller; tackles, Dan Berg and Glenn Kaminsky; linebacker, Jim Roberta and backs, Johnny Steinborn, Leeny Kolb, and Aaron Peralta. Of course Ira Webber could be a possible candidate as could Ell Peralta and Johnny Herrera, but for the fact that Ell and Ira haven't been in action very much and Herrera being on a standout defensive unit doesn't get a chance to display his ability at stealing passes. Webber is playing more and more each game and is doing better and harder but hard-driving Ell just hasn't seen it enough action which his ability certainly warrants. He has been putting into the game all the late games, and while in the certainty gone to town. There are reports and reports from all over the country condoning the selection of all-American all-conference all-league all-star all-this and all-that as to how it is rumored for the boy, the team, the school and the community. They have some mighty good reasons as to how can one possibly select a defensive player over an offensive player for an all-something award. The player on offense carries the ball races around end for touchdowns and throws twenty and thirty passes. He runs out five yards does a beautiful fake and catches a pass for ten or eleven yards. And all this looks great from the stands. All eyes are on the ball and they see who throws the ball and who catches the ball. When the game is over they talk about how that player or this player really powered through the line for that 67-yard touchdown run or how that player sent a booming punt 58 yards down to put the enemy in a bad position. They tend to overlook, as do the sportswriters, the players on defense who hardly ever get their hands on the ball and are rarely ever praised by the fans and com- really likes to play the game. They never get the publicity, never get to score two or three touchdowns in a game like the opportunity the offensive half has, although the defense is supposed to have more ways of scoring than the offensive unit. The one job on the football team that is considered just about the hardest position and roughest to play is the linebacking position. They stand one or two yards behind the linemen and wait for the ball carrier to stick his face through or around the line. But he doesn't just get to tackle the ball carrier no, he has the fun of hitting two and three men in front of the ball carrier; his interference, who are usually the roughest, nearest and biggest on the team. And not only that but they are coming through the hole with lightning speed and there stands the linebacker. It is truly one of the toughest and hardest positions to play. A linebacker really has to like and even love his work. He is one who thinks, dreams and plans of smashing some ball carrier into little pieces. He is one who is hungry for the ball carrier to come close to him and when he does he pounces on the enemy mail carrier with the greatest of glee and with only one intent—to beat the bail carrier to a pulp. The linebackers can make or break a team. They try to make one team and break the other team, but more so, they are the roving scouts. They are in on almost all plays. They can stop the play before it hardly gets started or they can be a little slow and make the tackle a few yards down field. They are the key to the successful team; notice USC, California and any great team and they will have a top notch linebacker. For sheer enjoyment in how a linebacker operates behind the lines, take a gander at Jim Roberts, Gene Geselle and John Steinborn tomorrow night. That Roberts is one not to fool with! When the honors and awards are being passed out, don't let anyone bypass the defensive team players and especially the linebackers. They're human too, home field. Newport had a against the Indians although they met stringers about only the whole evening. For the game 41-0 althoughORS rolled up 12 firthe Braves 13, but could only gain 14the ground and a merethe air. In their 28-20 loss last week, they roll first downs to the Saints out rushed the Saints Thorough the air they 116 while the Saints with their 153. This has helped boostors to second spot in total offensive departurethe Anaheim Colonies in the total defensions in both passing. After three weeks in league games, reveal that Anaheim's alta, halfface, tied honors with Bud Huntington Beach, crossed the goal line Kimball scoring three week against Orange twice against Fullerton.

They tend to overlook, as do the sportswriters, the players on defense who hardly ever get their hands on the ball and are rarely ever praised by the fans and community. Some think that because they are on defense that they weren't any great team and they will have a top notch linebacker.

They're human too, and they want those all-this and all-that awards just as bad as the headliners do.

Anaheim's Peralta Tied for League's High Score Honors Anaheim's title-bound Colonist team will take the field as definite favorites to capture their fourth league victory of the year tomorrow night at La Palma park when they host the Newport Harbor eleven in a 7:30 p.m. encounter. The Sailors are experiencing one of their worst seasons having won only two out of seven contests, none of those in league competition. The Tars beat Lynwood and Bonita, but have dropped tilts to Riverside, Excelsior and to league opponents Orange, Fullerton and Santa Ana. They close out the season with their common opponent Huntington Beach on their home field. Newport had a rough time against the Indians of Fullerton although they met the first stringers about only 20 minutes the whole evening. Fullerton won the game 41-0 although the Sailors rolled up 12 first downs to the Braves 13, but the Tars could only gain 145 yards on the ground and a mere 24 through the air. In their 28-20 loss to Santa Ana ANAHEIM'S CEE FOOTBALL team has won three straight league games and have held their opponents to a more touchdown which was scored by Santa Ana against the local second stringers. Pictured above is the first team defensive backfield unit. From left to right is Henry Herrord, Charles Carmelo, Mickey Gouyd and Dan Salaets. Herrera intercepted three passes in the Huntington Beach and of late has been running on the offensive unit. Gouyd is the team's long ball carrier. Colonist Cees Seek League Title Tomorrow on Home Field at 3 p.m. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 the local high school Cee football team will host Newport Harbor's Cees in the first home league game of the year and they hope to make it a festive occasion on the high school practice field. Anaheim is undefeated this year, in and out of league, and they need only one more victory to walk away with their Class Cee first place trophy. Their opposition, Newport Harbor, hasn't won a game yet this year although they tied Orange in the first week of league competition. They have only scored 12 points in the three league games to date while the locals have roll lightly. But players like Frank Doretti, Ron Sabo, Charles Carmelo, Dan Salaets, Tony Zava, Eugene McLaughlin, Mike Beach aren't going to take the game too lightly because they are once who like to Newport had a rough time against the Indians of Fullerton although they met the first stringers about only 20 minutes the whole evening. Fullerton won the game 41-0 although the Sailors rolled up 12 first downs to the Braves 13, but the Tars could only gain 145 yards on the ground and a mere 24 through the air. In their 28-20 loss to Santa Ana last week, they rolled up nine first downs to the Saints six and out rushed the Saints, 151 to 71. Through the air the Sailors had 116 while the Saints had the edge with their 153. This has helped boost the Sailors to second spot in the league's total offensive department while the Anaheim Colonists are tops in the total defensive department in both passing and rushing. After three weeks of competing in league games, statistics reveal that Anaheim's Aaron Peralta, halfback, is tied for scoring honors with Bud Kimball of Huntington Beach. Both have crossed the goal line four times—Kimball scoring three times last week against Orange and Aaron twice against Fullerton. Last week's leading scorer, Don Hudson of Fullerton, fell to third spot with his 21 points while his teammate Duane Pennington moved up. LEAGUE'S LEADING SCORERS A. Peralta, Anaheim B.

Lupe Gonzales, Bob Loustan and Leroy Weaver were injured, but will be back in action as they have been all week, but the fate of guard Ed Starnes has not been decided as yet. Old man Starnes injured his hip in the late stages of last week's game and had to have some stitches taken. He suited up this past week, but has not indulged in any real body contact. He will be wearing a mouthpiece and will probably see only limited action. He will be spelled by Al Gastelum who was a ball of terror in the Huntington Beach game. He recovered a fumble and as a whole filled Starnes' spot admirably. Watch Out for Attitudes About the only thing that might keep the Colonist Cees from winning Thursday afternoon is the Colonist themselves. The attitude could get the best of them. They have rolled over three league teams in rather easy fashion and what with Newport having not lightly. But players like Frank Doretti, Ron Sabo, Charles Carmelo, Dan Salaets, Tony Zava, Eugene McLaughlin, Mike Beach aren't going to take the game too lightly because they are ones who like to win and are going to be going all out all the time to help nail down the league championship for hard working coaches Dick Glover and Dick Ryan and their teammates. Leroy Weaver has carried the ball the most times (25) on the squad and is a definite threat from his left halftack slot. Upon occasions he moves into the quarterback spot and does right well for himself. Long Ball Carrier Mickey Gouyd, right halfback, has rolled up a grand total of 194 yards in the three games for a phenomenal 10.2 average. He has reeled off touchdown runs of 39 46 and 33 yards against Santa Ann. Huntington Beach and Fullerton in that order. Paul Grover, Lupe Gonzales, Henry Herrers, Bud Chambers and Jerry Nielson are other members of the squad that like to win and have certainly shown it by their great style of play in the past games and it will be up to them to lead the team on to victory and to keep the squad from faltering in the final weeks. In other games Thursday Fullerton will meet Orange and Huntington Beach tangles with Santa Ana. All Anaheim needs is one victory in their two remaining contests. Next week they will host Orange's Panthers in the season final. Mann Gridders Capture Title With 24-0 Win Tuesday afternoon was a big day for the follows out at Horace Mann School, for they assured them... Mann's Bees Eye League Crown After 24-12 Win Horace Mann's "B" team proved Monday that it was eyeing a championship, when it knocked over George Washington 24-12. Ray Ortega took the opening kickoff for Horace Mann, and ran over for a 55-yard touchdown. Jimmy Pisciotti set up the second Mann TD as he took the ball from his 30-yard line to the Washington 2-yard line before Steve McGovny caught him. From here Ricky Scheffler scored to make the score 12-0. Hershall Welton and Jim Pisciotti took the brunt of the third Mann touchdown drive, with Welton going over from the 6-yard line. Then on the last play of the first half Ricky Scheffler intercepted a pass from Larry White, and went over for the fourth Mann TD. In the second half it was a different story, though, as LeRoy Fry came down to the park after he got off work, and he led his team right back into the ball game. It was LeRoy who scored the first Washington touchdown from 25 yards out. Again it was LeRoy who set up the other Washington Gazette Carriers See Pro's Play Having a wonderful time recently were a group of Gazette paper carriers and their parents who had the privilege of attending the Los Angeles Ram-San Francisco 49er's pro football game and they were more than thrilled when the Rams came from behind to win in the final quarter. The carriers were ones who sold subscriptions and boys making the trip were Gerald David, Ernest Langdon, Walt Wittesch, Lloyd Stockwell, Gary Thueson, Rodney Thueson, Ronnie Swank and David Stovall. There were more, but these were the ones who made the trip into Los Angeles with Ralph Rouland, Gazette Classified ad manager and Don Young, circulation manager. The kids all sat together in a special section set aside by the Ram officials for their community wide "Kids Day" jamboree. TD as he ran the ball from midfield to the 6-yard line, from where Richard Roseberry went over for the last score of the game. Mann Gridders Capture Title With 24-0 Win Tuesday afternoon was a big day for the fellows out at Horace Mann School, for they assured themselves of the championship of the Recreation Department's Juvenile Football League, in the "A" division, by defeating Washington 24-0. As before, it was Billy Larson and Robert Godoy who completely dominated play for the Horace Manners. On the first play of the game Billy Larson threw a pass which was intended for Dewayne Harrison, but the ball hit h.s foot and bounded straight up into the air, where alert Robert Godoy picked it off and raced 50 yards for the first TD of the afternoon. Billy Larson threw two more touchdown passes, and each time it was Robert Godoy who was on the receiving end of the pass. This ended the scoring for the last half. In the second half Washington was in scoring position four times, but the sturdy Mann line was too much to penetrate. This sturdy Mann line consists of Robert Godoy and Bernard Sloop at ends, Fred Portillo and Neil Klein at guards, and Marshall Shirk at center. Midway through the final period Billy Larson handed the ball off to Louis Acosta who dropped back and heaved a touchdown pass to Robert Godoy for Godoy's fourth touchdown of the afternoon.

Jack Fisher scored the last six-pointer as he caught a pass and went unmolested into the end zone.
