First game in the tourney will start at 3 p.m., between Fullerton and Laguna Beach. Anaheim goes against Brea-Olinda at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The Colonists are defending champs in the tourney. The Oilers have beaten Excelsior 57-46, edged St. Anthony's 51-26 and powered over hapless Lynwood 52-31. High scorers so far have been Charles Hasley and Bob Sucess who both have potted 14, and in one game, too. Santa Ana, Newport Harbor and Anaheim have all won two games while dropping just one. The Saints lost their season opener to Long Beach Wilson by the score 44-36, but won over Garden Grove, 47-42 and Laguna Beach 39-29. Newport Harbor's cagers edged Excelsior 43-38, but came back to win over Downey 65-49 with last year's Sunset League scoring champ, Aarmand Nettles, scoring 26. Orange lost to Long Beach Wilson 36-60 and Excelsior 34-42, but won their second game of the year over Tustin by the score 48-38.

At the Saint banquet tackle Frank Torres was elected the most valuable player while John Bergen, halfback was considered the outstanding player in the Saint-Colonist game, the game Anaheim won 26-0. Anaheim elected as their most valuable player of the year quarterback Leonard Kolb and as line captain Glenn Kuminsky and as backfield captain the team elected John Steinborn, fullback. Sunset League administrators held their weekly meeting and among other things adopted a cross-country dual meet schedule to begin Jan. 17 and follow the same pattern in regard to home sites as the recent football schedule. In other words, Anaheim will travel to Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and Fullerton then host Newport Harbor and Orange. Varsity basketball games held on Tuesday will start at 3 p.m., instead of holding the Bee games then. It is supposed to let more of the students see the varsity play that would have to take the later school busses home.

He is only a sophomore. Mike Pecarovich, former football coach in the collegiate ranks, has certainly been making his presence known around these parts lately. Recently he was the speaker at one of the Anaheim-Fullerton Quarterback club meetings held in the Elks club of Anaheim and more recently he has been the main speaker at banquets held at Newport Harbor and just this week at Santa Ana high.

The No. 1 contender for the light heavy crown held by Joey Maxim ran into unexpected opposition last night in winning a unanimous 10-round decision over hard-hitting Danny Nardico of Tampico, Fla. Although he got a thorough pasting, Nardico shook up the west coast battler on a number of occasions with his dynamite-laden fists. Matthews weighed 175; Nardico 176.

That’s exactly what the arrogant bobbed-haired Italian who rules the wrestling roost in California told officials of the Orange County Athletic club today when the OCAC sought to sign the pair. The Italian even intimated there might be other stipulations, but first the “Panther” would have to beat Davis. They’ll meet Monday night in the final half of a double three-fall, hour main event.

Daniel Lamont Booked on NY Charge of Bribery in Cage Game Between Cornell, NYU NEW YORK (UP)—A 44-year-old totoona, Pa., shoe manufacturer and former race horse owner, donato Lamorte, who goes under the name of Daniel Lamont, wasoked today on a charge of bribbing in the collegiate basketballandals, which already have involved 31 former players from even schools and at least seven other persons as fixers. Lamont was arrested in Altoona yesterday and waived extradition. District Attorney Frank S. Bogan described the Pennsylvanian as the “money man” behind the bribing of Harvey (Connie) Schaff, former New York University court star. Schaff is serving six months for taking $2000 to hold down NYU’s score in a Madison Square Garden game last Jan. 1. NYU was a heavy favorite but Cornell won, 69-56. Lamont denied to reporters when he arrived here that he ever had fixed basketball games, but William Sirignano, assistant district attorney, said Lamort had made “substantial admissions” regarding the NYU-Cornell game. The shoe manufacturer was described by authorities as a wealthy ex-bookie and a race horse owner barred from New York tracks for gambling. Lamont was refused an owners’ license in 1948 by the Jockey Club (New York). At the time he was the owner of El Mono, long shot winner of two big stake races, including the Widener Handicap, at Hialeah park.

Merk stated that the school has only 500 students in the school and they really don't have too much to draw from. Spring Football Practice Should Continued—Opinion of AP Writers NEW YORK (UP)—Spring football practice should be continued in the opinion of the majority of the nation's sports writers and sportscasters who voted in the Associated Press' end-of-the-season poll. However, almost half of those who think that spring practice should be kept believe that some sort of limitation should be placed on it. Most of those who went along with spring practice thought its elimination would not help any de-emphasis program or act to cure any of college football'sills. The main reason for those who want it eliminated is that it interferes with other sports and places too much stress on the gridiron. ‘Shoeless Joe’ Jackson Dies GREENVILLE, S. C. (UP) —“Shoeless Joe” Jackson, one of baseball's greatest hitters, died last night still maintaining his innocence of any wrong doing in the 1919 World Series scandal. Jackson, 63, was one of eight Chicago White Sox players accused of accepting bribes to throw the series to the Cincinnati Reds. Jackson, Oscar Felsch, Arnold Gandil, George Weaver, Charles Risberg, Fred McMullin, Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams were barred for life from organized baseball by the late Commissioner Judge Kenosaw Mountain Landis. Jackson, an outfielder, hit .375 in the series, won by the Reds, five games to three. He had been plagued by heart trouble in recent years. Last night he complained of chest pains. He died before help could be summoned. Said one southwest stator: “It should be limited more than three weeks sophomores and non-should be allowed to play and no inter-squad games be permitted.” A broadcaster said there was academic. “Spring practice should alone because it will exist what steps are taken ruled out, there will be a coincidental appearance in ball players on practice during the spring and coax just happen along.” A midwest writer said: “This is just another screen that the college big trying to do in solving tion. They're not going heart of the thing. Trouble still is high proof of the coaches.” ‘Big Bill’ Jones Drops Dead in William Henry.“Big Bill 65, former deputy sheet constable of Huntington township, dropped dead on attack at 10:30 Tuesday while helping push a stair tomobile in the 200 block Fifth st., in Huntington. Jones, a physical giant about 250 pounds, was a county figure when she deputy sheriff under the sheriff J. L. Elliott and the ent sheriff, James Muslater served as constable inington Beach township to unexpired term of Constable Dulaney, who had resigned come Huntington Beach police. seven-Point Program to Combat High Pressure of Sports Presented NEW YORK (UP) — A seven-point program to combat professionalism, subsidization and academic deficiency in intercollegiateetics will be presented to the Corn College Athletic conference next week. The plan, drawn up by Asa S. Snell, ECAC Commissioner President of the National Association of Collegiate Commissars, calls for the elimination of recruiting of athletes. Also would do away with specials for the athletes unless they are based on a proven snell would make the college presidents personally respond for upholding the code. The plan is approved by the own group it probably will be invited to the NCAA at its annual meeting in January. The seven points outlined by Snell are: 1. Rigid admissions standards all colleges set by collegiate editing agencies; matriculation open only to young men of "educatability;" respectably high academic requirements for maintenance of class standing. 2. No lowering of standards for students who also are athletes. 3. Loss of athletic eligibility by students not making normal progress toward academic eligibility by students not making normal progress toward academic degree. 4. All scholarship awards reserved for students of good scholarship and awarded on competitive basis, with competition open alike to athletes and non-athletes. 5. Academic ability an absolute requisite for award of scholarships, but other talents also considered. 6. Loans and grants-in-aid reserved for those students who actually need them and can demonstrate their need. 7. No recruiting by coaches; no proselytizing or subsidizing; no tryouts or all-expenses-paid campus visits; no lavish entertainment of prospects; no extravagant promises by alumni. Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams were barred for life from organized baseball by the late Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Jackson, an outfielder, hit .375 in the series, won by the Reds, five games to three. He had been plagued by heart trouble in recent years. Last night he complained of chest pains. He died before help could be summoned. Things looked bright for Joe this year. Only a few months ago the South Carolina legislature adopted a bill urging that Joe be reinstated in organized baseball. Joe was to have appeared on a national television show in New York Dec. 16 honoring his selection in Cleveland's baseball hall of fame. He broke into the majors with the Philadelphia Athletics, then had a five-year stand with Cleveland. The Indians sold him to the White Sox late in the 1915 season for $30,000 and three players. Jackson had a lifetime major league average of .356 for 1330 games and was regarded as one of the game's most natural hitters. In 1911 he hit .408 but lost the American League batting championship to Ty Cobb's .420. The "shoeless" tag was hung on him thanks to story that he once played the outfield without shoes in the minors because of a sore heel. At the time the series scandal broke late in 1920, the story is of a boy who tugged tearfully at Jackson's sleeve, begging, "Say it ain't so, Joe." Est More California Oranges Rumers Fly That Williams Might Be Traded to Yanks COLUMBUS. O. (P) — Owner Ellis Ryan of the Cleveland Indians said today it would not surprise him if the Boston Red Sox traded Ted Williams to the New York Yankees. "I would say the Yankees have the best chance of getting Willie Terrifying Tom Back In Action LOS ANGELES — left end Tom Fears, pass catching end of the Los Angeles Rams, will be ready for action against the Detroit Lions in their crucial National League football game here Sunday. Fears got, back into harness against the Chicago Bears last week after a lengthy session on the bench due, to an injured knee. During the time Fears, who holds two league pass catching records, surrendered the limelight to his teammate, right end Elroy Hirsch. While still cautious about the knee, Fears against the Bears caught five throws for 68 yards, one short one for a touchdown. The knee has shown steady improvement this week, giving the Rams a dual and potent threat on the flanks. he said. "That is, if Boston really wants to trade Ted. New York has more to offer, in the way of good young dispensable players, than any other club." Ryan denied an oft-rumored story that Williams had been offered to the Indians for ace right-hander Bob Lemon and catcher Jim Hegan. He refused even to dignify a more recent yarn whereby the Indians were supposed to get Williams via a three-cornered deal involving Larry Doby and the St. Louis Browns Ned Garver. "That's' the most ridiculous thing I've heard yet," he laughed. Ted Williams' name has never come up for discussion in any of our talks with the Red Sox," the tall, distinguished-appearing Cleveland executive said. "I have no way of knowing whether the Red Sox have ever attempted to trade Williams to any club." Previously, General Manager George Weiss of the Yankees hinted that his club would be interested in making a deal for the Red Sox slugger if they were sure Joe DiMaggio was not returning to the active list next season. American Pair Split with Aussies MELBOURNE (P)—Dick Savitt and Frank Sedgman battled their way into the finals of the Victorian championships today as America and Australia broke even in a preview of the Davis Cup challenge round. Savitt, pounding the ball hard, trounced the Aussies' No. 2 player, Ken McGregor, 6-3, 6-4. Vic Selixas put up a thrilling struggle against Sedgman, but finally went down by 5-1, 6-2, 11-0, 7-5 after two hours and 15 minutes of brilliant tennis. A crowd estimated at 6000 witnessed the two matches which might well be duplicated on first might well be duplicated on first Sydney, Dec. 28. "We might be interested in Boston's big fellow if we knew just what our big fellow is going to do," is the way he put it. "If Joe decides to play, then I don't think there would be room for the two of them." DiMaggio is scheduled to meet with Yankee officials in New York this week. If a Williams-to-the-Yankees transaction is made, the guess is that the Red Sox will ask for outfielder Hank Bauer, second baseman Gerry Coleman, pitcher Bob Morgan and a young catcher. Practice Should Be of AP Writers Said one southwest sports editor: "It should be limited to not more than three weeks. Only sophomores and non-lettermen should be allowed to participate and no inter-squad games should be permitted." A broadcaster said the question was academic. "Spring practice should be left alone because it will exist no matter what steps are taken. If it is ruled out, there will be a fantastic coincidental appearance of football players on practice fields during the spring and coaches will just happen along." A midwest writer said: "This is just another smoke-screen that the college bigwigs are trying to do in solving the situation. They're not going to the heart of the thing. The main trouble still is high pressurizing of the coaches." 'Big Bill' Jones Drops Dead in HB William Henry, "Big Bill" Jones, 85, former deputy sheriff and constable of Huntington Beach township, dropped dead of a heart attack at 10:30 Tuesday night while helping push a stalled automobile in the 200 block on W. Fifth st., in Huntington Beach. Jones, a physical giant weighing about 250 pounds, was a familiar county figure when serving as deputy sheriff under the late sheriff J. L. Elliott and the present sheriff, James Musick. He later served as constable of Huntington Beach township to fill the unexpired term of Constable B. H. Dulaney, who had resigned to become Huntington Beach chief of police.
