Center Manuel Ortiz Quits Boxing Ring Bouts LOS ANGELES, CA — Manuel Ortiz, who ruled the world ban-tam-weight division from 1922 to 1950, has decided to hang up the gloves. Ortiz, a rotund 35, was slated to meet Ray Fumecheon in Paris Dec. 3. But he told his former manager, Tommy Farmer, he is quitting the ring for keeps. He won the bantamweight title in 1942 from Lou Salice, lost it to Harold Dade of Chicago in 1947. He regained 10 years later, and last year in Johannesburg, South Africa, he lost the crown to youthful Vic Toweel, the British champion. George Young New Turf Head INGLEWOOD, PA — George P. Young, prominent in Turf and Baseball circles many years, is president of the Hollywood Turf club. Young, vice president of the track since 1939, succeeds Thomas W. Simmons, who becomes chairman of the board. Film director Mervyn Le Roy was named vice president. Jack P. Mackenzie remains as general manager for the 16th year. In the days of ancient Rome, a prison was used only as the place for holding, not for punishing criminals. Reserve Claim May be Revised By Politician NEW YORK (UP) — If Bler (D-NY) chairman of the Subcommittee investigates ball, has his way, baseball appears serious; reserve clause thoroughly revised. Collas branded the clause "obnoxious" while ruling on ABC-TV's program Trial, last night. The Congressman added ever that the clause "in bedded in the fabric of it would be necessary to but it must be appended are certain abuses which obliterated. We are trying to middle ground." The reserve clause, as a possible violation of trust laws, binds a play club for life unless he is traded. The Congressman cited over 20-game winner of place St. Louis Browns, a tim of the reserve clause said Garver drew $18,000 year. He's an ace, Collos punk. He won 20 games with ball club and a bad infield behind him. If I were an owner and an opportunity of Getting... Sports Then on top of all this, the coaches want to stop all Christmas season basketball practice which really cuts down the practice time of basketball players. Coaches seem to think, or rather it seems that way as a result of their actions, that they can work out with players six or seven days on the gym floor and have their players ready for games. Another factor hindering such a wonderful sport as basketball is the season and length. Football starts two weeks before the start of school and continues until the latter part of Nov. and for some into the first few weeks of Dec. Baseball starts in April and runs into June with swimming running about the same length while basketball runs from January to the middle of March... oh yes, with a couple of games before the Christmas holidays. And in what kind of shape are kids going to be in after they return from a Christmas week of playing in the snow up in the mountains and chasing all over the county at all hours of the day and night. They won't remember anything they learned in the two or three weeks before vacation and really that time is wasted. Ben Franklin's "B" team won their second straight ball game yesterday as they squeezed by Washington 7-6 in a game that went into overtime. Washington's LeRoy Fry put his team ahead 6-0 as he raced over the goal line from the seven yard line. Try for conversions was no good, and Washington led at half-time 6-0. In the fourth quarter Ben Franklin was stopped on the Washington four yard line, with just one minute left in the ball game, and Washington apparently had the ball game on ice, but a bad center went over the Washington backfield man's head, and Mike Rice of Ben Franklin leaped on the ball for the tying touchdown. Try for conversion was not successful, and the ball game was tied at the end of regulation time, 6-6. In the overtime period each team gets four down, and the team who advances the ball the farthest is the winner. In the overtime period Ben Franklin advanced the ball 12 yards farther than Washington did, and thus won the ball game 7-6. Colleges Waiting And Wondering About Spring Ball NEW YORK (P)—Many of the nation's major colleges were ready today to follow Yale's example of dropping spring football, but they were playing it cagey—they wanted assurances it Dons Seek Win Over Chaffey Sporting a non too impressive 1-3 won-lost record in the Eastern J. C. conference, the Saima College Dons will travel to Ontario Friday to meet the Chaffey College Panthers. The Dons dropped a close 21-15 decision in the waning minutes of last week's game to the second place Orange Coast Pirates. Held scoreless during the first half while the Pirates were racking up 21 points the Dons bounced back in the third quarter to score a touchdown on a 18 yard pass play Bob Smith to Bob Umphress. Minutes later a 15 yard penalty against Coast placed the ball on their one yard line where on the net play, quarterback Paul Chafe was tackled in the end zone by Paul Esslinger and Marvin Kravitz for a safety. On two pass plays good for 20 and 21 yards respectively, Don quarterback Bob Smith led the attack to the Orange Coast eight yard line where halfback Augie Huesler took a hand off and drove through the left side for the TD. Jack Wilcox converted to make the score 21-15. Santa Ana again threatened to score when Del Broomell intercepted a Pirate pass on the Don five yard line and raced 46 yards to the Coast 49. A pass play advanced the ball to the 30 before a Smith pass was intercepted in the end zone where the ball was touched down for a touchback. Taking over on the 20 yard line, the Pirates froze the ball for the remaining two minutes to win 21-15. The Dons expect to get back in win column against the Chaffey Colleges Waiting And Wondering About Spring Ball NEW YORK (P)—Many of the nation's major colleges were ready today to follow Yale's example of dropping spring football, but they were playing it cage—they wanted assurances it be done on a national scale. An attitude of watchful waiting generally followed the report that university presidents, alarmed over the future of the sport, were contemplating reforms likely to affect spring practice, bowl games and the two-platoon system. Yale University, one of the ivy-covered institutions that helped give birth to American football, announced yesterday that the Ell would drop spring practice, beginning in 1952. Smaller colleges such as Williams, Weslyan and Amherst already had taken such action. Yale was the first of the big ones. Others had talked about it such as the 17-member Southern conference and the nine-member Pacific Coast. They recommended the move to their conference directors and to the National Collegiate Athletic association, the parent organization. The Southern, by an overwhelming vote of its presidents, also recommended banning all bowl games. The Pacific Coast suggested re-examination of post-season football and the two-platoon system. Millionaire Boss Primed and Ready BOSTON (P)—Now that the Boston Red Sox have made their first 1952 move—a four player straight swap with the Chicago White Sox—general manager Joe Cronin and Lou Bondreau, the new pilot, indicate they will do much more player dickering at next month's baseball meetings. They did not need owner Tom Yawley's fabulous bankroll to obtain outfielder-first baseman Don Lenhardt and veteran pitcher Randy Gumpert in exchange for young accepted a Pirate pass on the Don five yard line and raced 46 yards to the Coast 49. A pass play advanced the ball to the 30 before a Smith pass was intercepted in the end zone where the ball was touched down for a touchback. Talking over on the 20 yard line, the Pirates froze the ball for the remaining two minutes to win 21-15. The Dons expect to get back in win column against the Chaffey Panthers who have a record of four losses and no wins in Conference play. Coach Bill Cook will open with a backfield combination of quarterback Bob Smith, ballbacks Bob Umphress and Floyd Strain or Lloyd Kirby, and fullback Milton Wilkert. On the forward wall will be Chuck Sitton and Frank Freese at the ends, LeRoy Eisenbraun and Dean McCord tackles, Ira Garey and Bob Crumley guards, and Tom Moore at center. Title Bout On Tap in LA at 7 p.m. LOS ANGELES (P)—Champion Jimmy Carter of New York and challenger Art Aragon of Los Angeles enter the ring at the Olympic auditorium tonight to battle for the world lightweight title. Cal Eaton, promoter of the 15-round attraction, remained confident that all or most of the arena's 10,400 seats would be sold, with the patrons digging deep for seats ranging in price from $20 to $5. The nation's television fans, excluding the Southern California blacked-out area, have no problem. They'll see it for free over the CBS network, starting at 7 p.m. Carter, the 27-year-old Negro who blasted Ike Williams out of the title by a 14-round knockout in New York May 25, is a slight betting favorite in this, his first defense. But Aragon, 24-year-old Mexican who revels in the nickname... Reserve Clause May be Revised By Politician NEW YORK (UP)—If itep. Celler (D-NY) chairman of the House Subcommittee investigating baseball, has his way, baseball's controversial reserve clause will be thoroughly revised. Celler branded the reserve clause "obnoxious" while appearing on ABC-TV's program, "On Trial," last night. The Congressman added, however, that the clause "is so imbedded in the fabric of baseball it would be necessary to keep it, but it must be amended. There are certain abuses which must be obliterated. We are trying to find a middle ground." The reserve clause, challenged as a possible violation of anti-trust laws, binds a player to a club for life unless he is sold or traded. The Congressman cited Ned Celler, 20-game winner of the last place St. Louis Browns, as a victim of the reserve clause. Celler told Garver drew $18,000 last year. "He's an ace, Celler punished out. He won 20 games with a poor ball club and a bad infield and outfield behind him." "If I were an owner and I had an opportunity of Getting Garver I'd give him $95,000 to $100,000 a year." In St. Louis, Bill Veeck, the Browns' owner, commented: "What was Garver's record in 1950? (13-18.) I've never heard yet of anybody paying a pitcher who lost five more games than he won $100,000." "I doubt very much if Mr. Celler knows about the intricacies of baseball," Veeck added. "I certainly wouldn't assume to tell Mr. Celler anything about politics. I suggest he reciprocate." 2 Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA MAKING WAR PLANS—Talking over plans for the coming Orange Cee game tomorrow afternoon on the local high school field are coaches Dick Ryan, left, assistant to head Cee coach and director of athletics at the local school, Dick Glover. Both have been instrumental in keeping the squad keyed up for their games week after week, what with the team working on an undefeated streak. League Champs Tangle with Orange Tomorrow in 3 p.m. Contest at Anaheim to Seek Undefeated Year Tomorrow on the local high school practice, field the 1951 Sunset League Cee football championship team, Anaheim, will host the last place team; Orange, in the final game of the year with the contest starting at 3 p.m. List Playoff Dates for CIF Teams Playing dates for the CIF (California Intrerscholastic Federation) Southern Section football playoffs have been released recently from the CIF office in Los Angeles by Commissioner Bill Russell. As of now, two teams are rated sure bets to reach the final round which is scheduled for Dec. 14 or 15 and they are Monrovia and Santa Monica. Monrovia represents the Pacific League while the gridders from Santa Monica represent the Bay League; the Sunset League representative, Anisheim meets in the second round of the playoffs. The Sunset League winner draws a first-round bye as do the teams from the Coast, Pacific, San Gabriel and Catholic leagues. Most prep fans are looking forward to the possible meeting of the two Southland powerhouses, but they could be misled by some upstart team. One can recall last year that San Diego was undefeated going into the CIF playoffs and had one of the all-time great ends in Charlie Powell on the team. They met Fullerton in the first round and lost. Compton has won the CIF title the last two years and is still in the running for the title this year, but Monrovia and Santa League Champs Tangle with Orange Tomorrow in 3 p.m. Contest at Anaheim to Seek Undefeated Year Tomorrow on the local high school practice, field the 1951 Sunset League Cee football championship team, Anaheim, will host the last place team, Orange, in the final game of the year with the contest starting at 3 p.m. Anaheim has gone undefeated this year while Orange has yet to win a game, although they prevailed in a couple of scrimmages early in the season. They tied their first league game with Newport Harbor 7-7, and have since gone winless as well as scoreless. The little Panthers run out of the T-formation, but they just haven't the team to operate successfully this year. Anaheim played the Orange Panthers in a practice tilt before the league competition started and completely dominated the game, as they have done in all their games. More League Titles Anaheim has won more league Cee football titles than any other school, winning or sharing the crown on eight different occasions. They last won the title in 1948 along the way often were hand picked and he now is the best gate attraction campaigning out here. He has scored 32 knockouts in 64 matches, and like Carter, has been stopped but once, by Clyde Cohis in 1948. although sharing in the crown for seven straight years, a feat hard to compare. Although Anaheim will capture the first place league trophy, they still are not sure of winning the title all by themselves, even though they have beaten all the teams in the league, save Orange whom they meet tomorrow. Fullerton has lost only one game, to Anaheim, as has Huntington Beach and if they both win their games tomorrow while Anaheim is losing, the title would be shared by all three. Huntington Beach will meet with Newport Harbor and they should be favored to roll over the Gobbs who have never won a game in league this year. Fullerton runs into Santa Ana and they could fall, but the way they played against Anaheim, they must too be favored to win their game. Could Still Lose So, the locals really haven't sewed up the title yet. They could still lose to Orange tomorrow and by dropping their first game of the year, would drop into a three or two way tie for the league championship, although they would receive the trophy for first place, having rolled over Fullerton (13-0) and Huntington. One can recall last year that San Diego was underfeated going into the CIF playoffs and had one of the all-time, all time great ends in Charlie Powell on the team. They met Fullerton in the first round and lost. Compton has won the CIF title the last two years and is still in the running for the title this year, but Monrovia and Santa Mónica rate a slight edge to detrone the two-time champs.
