Rough-Housing At OCAC Tonite With Wild Red
Every "Wild Red" Berry, holder of the junior heavyweight wrestling title and belt, steps onto the mat tonight at the Orange County Athletic club to meet a heavy-weight Brother Frank Jares, who has proved that he is as "wild" as Berry, twice as tough and as rugged as they come in maddom.
They meet in a rematch of their recent hammer-and-tong thriller and this time for the "rough-house championship" of the OCAC. It is scheduled for two out of three falls, two hours or less.
It will mark the first full 120-minute scheduled main event offered at the Hwy. 101 arena in many months and the first "bar-the-door" with "everything going" except the drenched stranglehold against "Strangler Bob" Wagner not Barin Leone in the same ring more than a year ago.
Two former champions, Dave Laven, ex-heavyweight ruler, and Billy Varga, ex-king of the junior division, clash in a three fall battle also. They say Varga has turned a bit to the villian side, and it could be a sizzler.
One fall matches show TV's star of "Wrestlers and the Ladies", Bill McDaniels vs. Ivan The Terrible and Japan's Suki Omura.
John Parsons in National Big Car Victory Yesterday
SAN MATEO (P)—Johnny Parsons of Van Nuya, averaged 87.6 miles an hour to win the 150-mile National Championship race for big cars yesterday.
Parsons, 1950 winner of the 350 mile Indianapolis race, went the distance without a stop in one hour 42:36.8 minutes. The victory was worth $2,500.
National champion Tony Bettenhausen of Tinley Park, IL, finished second. Bettenhausen led from the 50th lap until the 131st when Parsons passed him in a Wynn Friction Proofing Special No. 3, owned by Ed Walsh of St. Louis. Bettenhausen drove the Belanger Special that Lee Wallard drove to victory at Indianapolis this year.
All but four of the 18 starters finished. It was the final race in the 1951 AAA National championship schedule. Parsons moved from ninth to sixth in final standings. Bettenhausen had already clinched the title.
Gentleman Jim Tries But Falls

Coaches Walk Around with Fingers Crossed
NEW YORK (P)—Coach athletic directors of the top football teams—a lot—were walking around campuses with fingers crossed day, afraid even to think games coming up.

But Stanford, completed looked before the start of ties, crashed the Trojan Saturday with a 27-20 victory.
Now they're saying the can't miss. But can they probably can beat Oregon without much trouble this but the following week against California, which not rated a pushover. San Cal has only one more Nov. 24 date with UCLA.
Gentleman Jim Tries But Falls
LOS ANGELES (UP) — Jim Hardy, quarterback for the Chicago Cardinals, had a special reason for trying to walk off the field alone yesterday after his injury in the second quarter of the game with the Los Angeles Rams.
His wife, who is expecting a baby in about a month, was in the stands.
So were his mother and grandmother.
Hardy's back and neck muscles were torn, but he refused to ride the stretcher. He walked a few steps and collapsed. The stretcher bearers took over and rushed him to a hospital. His injuries, while painful, were not serious. Hardy is expected to be up and around in about a week.
At latest report, there were no complications at home.

Coaches Walking Around with Fingers Crossed
NEW YORK (AP)—Coaches and athletic directors of the country's top football teams—a cautious lot—were walking around their campuses with fingers crossed today, afraid even to think of the games coming up.
Every time they begin to think of the coming Bowl games and perhaps start figuring what's going in the cash box, they shudder and think back to what happened to Southern California.
The big, powerful Trojans were the shoo-ins of the Pacific Coast Conference, especially after they bounced undefeated California, the pre-season favorite, several weeks ago. The coast title and the gold and glory of the Rose Bowl were virtually theirs.
But Stanford, completely overooked before the start of hostilities, crashed the Trojan hopes Saturday with a 27-20 victory.
Now they're saying the Indians can't miss. But can they? They probably can beat Oregon State without much trouble this week, but the following week they go against California, which still is not rated a pushover. Southern Cal has only one more game—a 24 date with UCLA.

Rams Power Over Chicago Cards To Tie the Bears
NEW YORK (AP)—The American Conference lead, if not the championship itself, will be at stake Sunday when the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants tangle here in a National Football League headliner pitting two veteran powers.
Only one team has given the Browns consistent trouble since they joined the league last year, and that is likely to touch downs.
Occidental Tigers Lead Conference Race With Win
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Southern California Conference football teams close out their regular season this week-end with the Occidental Tigers already assured of at least a tie for the championship.
Oxy can sew it up Saturday by beating Pomona, losingest team in the league, and the odds favor the Tigers by at least two touchdowns.
Art Aragon Jim Carter Title Bout
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Gon, who is a prizefighter to be confused with a dance halls of the same gets the big chance of Wednesday night.
Aragon climbs into the Olympic Auditorium.
But Stanford, completely overlooked before the start of hostilities, crashed the Trojan hopes Saturday with a 27-20 victory.
Now they're saying the Indians can't miss. But can they? They probably can beat Oregon State without much trouble this week, but the following week they go against California, which still is not rated a pushover. Southern Cal has only one more game—a Joy. 24 date with UCLA.
Same thing in the Big Ten. Illinois—another school overlooked in the pre-season dope—boasts a 0 mark after trouncing Iowa, 19-13, Saturday. But Michigan and Wisconsin each have 3-1 marks, and all three still have two conference games to play. Illinois tangles with Ohio State and Northwestern, Michigan meets the same pair while Wisconsin does against Iowa and Minnesota. Defending champion Michigan wins, the Wolverines won't go to the Rose Bowl, since a Big Ten rule prohibits the same school from playing there two years in row.
It would seem that Wisconsin was the easiest task. The Badgers ripped Penn, 16-7, but Michigan roped before Cornell, 20-7, Saturday, in a couple of Big Ten League games.
49er Castoff in Near Upset Role
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Two first minute passes saved the San Francisco 49ers from an upset defeat yesterday at the hands of the unless New York Yanks and Bob Cleri, a 49er castoff.
The two passes brought San Francisco out on top 19-14. The club is in fourth place in the National Division of the National football League.
X. A. Tittle heaved both crucial passes. One was for 47 yards Pete Shabarum. The second was a seven yard touchdown pitch Billy Wilson of San Jose 48 seconds before the final gun.
Up to that point a crowd of 26-8 had watched Quarterback Celi direct the down-trodden Yankees through a smart, well-played ball.
NEW YORK (AP)—The American Conference lead, if not the championship itself, will be at stake Sunday when the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants tangle here in a National Football League headliner pitting two veteran powers.
Only one team has given the Browns consistent trouble since they joined the league last year, and that's the Giants. And if any team can stop the Browns' march to a sixth straight pro title—they won four in a row in the all-America conference — that's the Giants, again.
The New Yorkers won two out of three from Cleveland last year, but lost a postseason playoff for the conference crown by five points.
It was even closer in their only meeting this year, the Browns winning 14 to 13 when the Giants missed an extra point.
Cleveland (6-1-0) held tight to its slim lead yesterday by nipping the Philadelphia Eagles, 20 to 17, with a second half rally, while the Giants (5-1-1), were thumping Sammy Baugh and the Washington Redskins, 28 to 14.
Meantime, the Los Angeles Rams pulled into a tie for first place in the National Conference by smashing the hapless Chicago Cardinals, 45 to 21. The Rams (5-2-0) now are all even with the Chicago Bears (5-2-0), who lost their first game in six years to the Detroit Lions 41 to 28.
In other games, San Francisco scored in the last minute to turn back the winless New York Yanks, 19 to 14, and Pittsburgh played headsup ball to defeat Green Bay 28 to 7, in a battle of also rans.
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Southern California Conference football teams close out their regular season this week-end with the Occidental Tigers already assured of at least a tie for the championship.
Oxy can sew it up Saturday by beating Pomona, losingest team in the league, and the odds favor the Tigers by at least two touchdowns.
Should an upset occur, however, the number two team, Whittier, could move into a first place tie by the simple expedient of knocking off Redlands, which may not be so simple at that.
In all, it was a bad week-end for SCIC clubs with Oxy posting the only triumph, its fifth of the season. The Tigers knocked off Cal Tech, 26-13.
Redlands suffered a 46-14 drubbing at the hands of unbeaten San Diego State, while Whittier succumbed to Fresno State, 28-0. Pomona was idle.
This Saturday its Oxy at Pomona, Redlands at Whittier and Cal Tech at Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo.
Thunder-Like Bolt Wins in Golf Surprise
PINEHURST, N. C. (AP)—Tommy Bolt has "created some thunder," as Cary Middlecoff put it, and finally crashed into the big winner's circle of professional golf.
The 33-year-old Texan, in his sixth year as a pro, has a $1500 check today to go along with the walking on air feeling. His Sunday three-under par 69 won the $7,500 North and South Open by three strokes.
Bolt's 71-72-71-69-283 was five under par for 72 holes. Known for occasional club-breaking tendencies in former years, he was in control of himself and his game at all times.
John Barnum, the giant pro who holds the Michigan Open title, was as much a surprise as Bolt in Jim Carter Title Bout.
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Gon, who is a prizefighter to be confused with a dance halls of the same gets the big chance of Wednesday night.
Aragon climbs into the Olympic Auditorium usual hour of dinner time objects himself to:
The unfriendly counterbristling fists of the light champion of the world Carter of New York.
The immediate-gaze of 000 people in the auditorium no telling how many sitting before television points at least 10 miles Los Angeles.
The main terror should the first instance name and Carter's fists.
Aragon should know, but felt the fists just last Auction. True, Aragon left the night acclaimed as the wontitle bout. But she was a split affair and edge was anything but dull.
Elroy Hirsch, Waterfield St In 45-21 Victory
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Angeles Itms celebrates first regular season victorythe Chicago Cardinals sit today,and as a result four selves in a first place with the Chicago Bears in national Conference of the Football League.
The Rams snapped out of gish half and a 7-7-the Cards with a four-to-28-point outburst in the riod. The final score was:
First the Rams staged prising ground attack whily netted 237 yards,and aerial fireworks began we counted for 281 yards.
Oddly enough,the game with an 80-yard touchdown play,and the scoring end
Pepperdine vs. San Diego State
LOS ANGELES (P)—Unbeaten San Diego State will attempt to add twice beaten Pepperdine to its list of gridiorn victims this Saturday night in the top game on the California Collegiate Athletic Association menu.
The rampaging Aztecs chalked up victory number seven over the week-end, overpowering hapless Redlands in a non-conference game, 46-14, behind the running of halfback Art Preston.
Pepperdine, second in the CCAA race, had to come from behind to defeat an upstart Los Angeles State eleven, 16-13. End Jack Bighead and Halfback Rudy Osuna did all the scoring for Pepperdine.
L.A. State, which has won but one game so far, takes on Santa Barbara this Friday night. The Gauchos were upset, 14-7, by Alex Bravo and his Cal Poly eleven from San Luis Obispo.
Bravo, the CCAA's total offense leader, won the game in the fourth quarter with touchdown romps of 37 and 57 yards. He'll be in action again this Saturday against Cal Tech in a non-league affair.
Select List Down To Mere 22 Teams
NEW YORK (P)—Cincinnati, with nine victories, tops a list of 22 unbeaten, untied college football teams today.
Four schools have won eight games. They include Stanford, Valparaiso, Northern Illinois and Bucknell. The University of San Francisco is one of 13 schools with a 7-0 record.
Six previously unbeaten teams suffered defeats this week end to drop off the select list. They were Rochester, Eastern New Mexico, Morris Brown, Ga., St. Vincent, Pa., New Haven, Conn., Teachers and Centre, Ky.
Six of the leading teams in collegiate football still boast unblemished records. They are Tennessee (No. 1), Illinois (No. 2), Maryland (No. 3), Princeton (No. 4), Michigan State (No. 5) and Stanford (No. 7).
Anaheim Concludes League Season Friday Night Against Orange High
Having another of their bad grid seasons, the Orange Panthers really haven't scared anybody this year and for good reason—they just don't have a winning team.
Only five lettermen and not one a regular are all that's left of last year's squad and even with the large number of transfers that arrived on the Panther campus this year, it just hasn't been enough to stem the tide.
Bill Franta, assistant coach last year, is now the head coach and has had a tough time week after week in finding a working combination for his week-end battles. Thus far, the Orange team has only won one league game, against Newport Harbor, then dropped games to Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, and Fullerton.
The returning lettermen are end Tom Hawlett, 160; tackles Eddies Evens, 190 and Doyle Clark, 190; center Kenny Wire, 192 and half-back Cal Mead, 160.
Among the transfers are Lanny Carter, 160, sensational sprinter from Burroughs high; quarterback Joe Kolina from Bremerton, Wash., and end Earl DuBois, 175, from Tacoma, Wash.
Mead works in the starting backfield along with three players up from the Bees—quarterback Robin Fairbairn, halfback Fred Stading, 155 and full back Virgil Lemlay, 158.
The second string includes Kolina at quarterback, Carter and Ed Denbow at halfbacks and Bob Speich, 170 at fullback. Benbow and Speich are up from the Bees. Carter is on the first team defensive unit at right halfback and of late has been running on the first team offensive team as well.
The No. 1 linemen from left end to right are Hewlett, 115-pound Jim Donegan, a varsity athlete last year; Bob Pargee, 163, 160 Bee; Wire, Melvin Davidson, 165 up from the Jaycees, Evans and Dick McCarter, 165, an ex-Bee.
The Panthers downed Testin 19-0 and Oceanside 19-4; but lost to Riverside in their third game of the year by the score 19-0. Anaheim's Colonists will play the Orange Panthers Friday at La Palma park in the final game of the Sunset League season.
The local team will then take one week's rest then enter the quarter-finals of the CIF Southern playoffs against the Bay League winner which right now is undefeated Santa Monica.

JIM CARRER IN TITLE BOUT
LOS ANGELES (UP) — Art Aragon, who is a prizefighter and not to be confused with a thousand dance halls of the same name, gets the big chance of his career Wednesday night.
Aragon climbs into the ring at the Olympic Auditorium at the unusual hour of dinner time and subjects himself to:
The unfriendly countenance and bristling fists of the lightweight champion of the world, Jimmy Carter of New York.
The immediate gaze of some 10,000 people in the auditorium, and no telling how many thousands sitting before television sets at points at least 10 miles east of Los Angeles.
The main terror should rest in the first instance, namely Carter and Carter's fists.
Aragon should know, because he felt the fists just last August.
True, Aragon left the ring that night acclaimed as the winner of a nontitle bout. But the decision was a split affair and Aragon's edge was anything but decisive.
ELROY HIRSCH, Bob Waterfield Star In 45-21 Victory
LOS ANGELES (UP) — The Los Angeles Rams celebrated their first regular season victory over the Chicago Cardinals since 1946 today, and as a result found themselves in a first place deadlock with the Chicago Bears in the National Conference of the National Football League.
The Rams snapped out of a sluggish first half and a 7-7 tie with the Cards with a four touchdown, 28-point outburst in the third period. The final score was 45-21.
First the Rams staged a surprising ground attack which finally netted 237 yards, and then the aerial fireworks began which accounted for 281 yards.
Oddly enough, the game started with an 80-yard touchdown pass play, and the scoring ended with from Burroughs high; quarterback Joe Kolina from Bremerton, Wash., and end Earl DuBois, 175, from Tacoma, Wash.
INDIANS Eye Bowl Bid After Great Battle with USC
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — Stanford's Indians were peering into the Rose Bowl today after writing the most spectacular chapter in all football history of the university.
The 27-20 come - from - behind victory over the favored Southern California Trojans last week exceeded in thrills the 20-20 tie with California way back in 1924. Both feats were accomplished in the last five minutes but the latest eye-popper parlayed their efforts into a win, rather than a deadlock.
While unbeaten Stanford was hurdling its greatest obstacle of the season, its boyish coach, Chuck Taylor, was tightening a claim to Coach of the Year honors, no less. The 31-year-old rookie mentor has done everything asked. In his first year as headman, he and his team have won eight games in a row.
What makes this record all the more remarkable is the fact that Taylor has predicted victory before each game. The former all-America guard of 1942 has led his Alma Mater to its greatest heights in a decade. Taylor was a sophomore on Stanford's championship team in 1940, the one that won the Rose Bowl game New Year's Day of 1941.
Stanford meets Oregon State this week end and Coach Taylor, without a trace of ego, confidently predicts another win for his boys. If they continue to make a prophet of their leader, he will forecast another victory in the seasonal windup with California, two weeks hence.
LOOK!
The Rams snapped out of a sluggish first half and a 7-7 tie with the Cards with a four touchdown, 28-point outburst in the third period. The final score was 45-21.
First the Rams staged a surprising ground attack which finally netted 237 yards, and then the arterial fireworks began which accounted for 281 yards.
Oddly enough, the game started with an 80-yard touchdown pass play, and the scoring ended with a similar play, each executed by the Cardinals.
Quarterback Jim Hardy in the first 30 seconds and the first play from sorrimage connected with Bill Cross for the first touchdown, and Charlie Trippi hit Fran Polsfoot with the same type of pass for the closing tally. Otherwise, it was an all-Ram show.
Safety man Tom Kalmahir ran one punt back 67 yards for a touchdown. Pullbacks Dan Tower, and Dick Hoerner, along with Quarterback Bob Waterfield assaying a running back, teamed to score two times on the ground, and then the aerial fireworks began to ignite.
Right End Elroy Hirsch put on usual performance, scoring on one Waterfield pass good for 51 yards, and on another from Norman Van Brocklin for 53.
A Waterfield to Hirsch play for 4 yards set up still another tally.
