ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA
Scanning Sports
BY STAN JONES
Like the famous saying of General Douglas Mac Arthur early in the last war, "I shall return" must surely be the words of local sporting enthusiast, Frank Vessels, after such an emolument venture conducted on his ranch the past few days despite the actions of many, many opponents.
Vessels, president of the California Quarter Horse Racing Association, conducted an 11-day meeting on his near-by Los Alamitos Race Course with pari-mutuel wagering — the first time for such an event in Orange county.
The meeting started Dec. 4 and ended Saturday afternoon, but not before Vessels and some of his backers put up one of the hardest and bitterest battles ever witnessed in the county along the line of a sporting event.
The main trouble started several months ago when the powerful California Thoroughbred Breeders Association moved into the Vessels picture trying to prevent the staging of the 11-day meet.
The board of directors of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association were vigorously opposed to the seemingly makehift plan of Vessels and his backers and held a secret meeting where they appointed several "select" committees to visit members of the racing board with a view to having them veto the plan for the meeting.

The board of directors of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association were vigorously opposed to the seemingly makehift plan of Veasley and his backers and held a secret meeting where they appointed several "select" committees to visit members of the racing board with a view to having them veto the plan for the meeting.
Condemning the meeting at Los Alamitos as one that threatens the entire structure of the racing in California, the board members pointed out that the $20,000,000 which racing annually pours into the state treasury for the upkeep, maintenance and improvement of 78 fairs, wildlife, educational institutions and other organizations was undermined.
Nevertheless, the meeting started on schedule and during the 11 days of colorful speedy racing, the coach conducted a very successful season with some very large pay-offs and two world records—one set Saturday in the eighth race of the cold and windy afternoon.
Several outstanding features of the racing were as follows—Dan H. Snyder winning the 400 yard feature defeating Chalkertown G who set the world record for 300 yards on the first day of the meeting.
Jockey Felix Durossau winning 12 races for two honors of the meeting. Runner up Jack Willis lagging with nine. Durossau placed seven times and showed three times.

Anaheim Edges Newport for Third Place While Oilers Win Own Cage Tournament
Capturing the third place championship trophy in the 23rd Annual Invitational Basketball tournament Friday night was the Anaheim Colonist cage crew by virtue of their close squeek, 42-41 victory, over Newport Harbor in the Oller gym.
In the 7:30 consolation final Tustin's Tillers edged the Vikings from Downey 51-49 in another close championship battle. Following those two close battles, the host school, Huntington Beach continued their win streak to eight games by breezing to a 41-35 victory although they had to come from behind to gain the first place trophy.
After the final contest tourney officials selected their all-tourney team—this year made up of eight players, none from Anaheim. Honored players on the team were Oilers forward Charles Hasley and guard Bob Suess; Bell Gardens guard, Jack Brown and forward, Ed Strickler; Newport's two forwards, Jim Mendon and Aarmand Nettles; Tustin's center, Don Carter and Downey's Bert Fitch. Nettles is a repeater.
Carter set two all-tourney scoring records. He scored 36 points against Bellflower to break the old mark of 27 set by Bob Smith of Excelsior in 1949 and tied Monday by Tom Morgan' of Capistrano.
Carter also set a new tourney unit again, he pulled them at the end of the first quarter, but they began to falter in the waning minutes and led only 35-32 going into the final period.
Reserve forward Bob Wetzel scored on a drive in, to make the score 35-34 with seven minutes left in the game. Gerald Rees scored from the court and that was followed by Herbel's brilliant shot to make the score 39-34, but then the Sailors put on a belated rally.
Forward Jim Mendon raced the length of the court and Herbel went up to block the ball, but both crashed into the wall, only two feet from the end of the court. Herbel servied the crash, but Mendon had to be helped from the court.
The basket was good and followed by Wetzel's free throw, put the Sailors to within only two points of tieing the game up. Guard Lusk made a tally from the gratis line and with two minutes left in the game second-stringer Jackson scored from the free throw line to tie the game all-up—39-39.
Mendon returned to action, but couldn't score. Guard Len Kolb dropped one in from the free throw line with only one minute with 45 seconds left in the game he dribbled the length of the court to pocket a needed field goal.

Colonist Bee Hoopsters Lose in Bonita Finals to Whittier Cards
Anaheim stretched their win neck to eight, then they fell for their first loss of the season and really tumbled to the hands of the Whittler Cardinals the championship finals of the fourth annual Bonita Invitational spot they lost out last year to the eventual winner, Glendale Hoover.
But the Colonists weren't to be denied the honor of playing in the championship finals as they powered by the Chaffee Tigers in a hard-fought contest. Anaheim led forwards, Jim Mendon and Aarmand Nettles; Tustin's center, Don Carter and Downey's Bert Fitch. Nettles is a repeater.
Carter set two all-tourney scoring records. He scored 36 points against Bellflower to break the old mark of 27 set by Bob Smith of Excelsior in 1949 and tied Monday by Tom Morgan' of Capistrano.
Carter also set a new tourney record for total points in all-games when he bucketed the grand total of 100 points for four games for a nifty 25 point game average. The old record was held by Smith of Excelsior set in 1949 with 81 points. Against Anaheim in the second game of the year, Carter made eight points from his center position.
Huntington Beach also set a tourney record. They scored a gigantic total of 220 points for the four tourney games to break the old mark of 213 set by Garden Grove in 1950 (average 55).
The Oilers walloped Downey 58-43, Orange 74-51; edged Newport Harbor 47-42 and defeated Bell Gardens in the finals 41-35. The Oilers came within seven points of setting two more records in their second game of the tournament against Orange.
Both teams, Newport and Anaheim, started out their game in rather listless style, both teams suffering from disappointment from losing their semi-final bouts the previous night.
But the tempo and interest picked up in the second period and with little Gayle Herbel leading the attack the locals built up a first half score of 25-17. They led at the end of the first period 13-10.
In the second half coach Clare Van Hoorebeke started his first match line and with two minutes left in the game second-stringer Jackson scored from the free throw line to tie the game all up—39-39.
Mendon returned to action, but couldn't score. Guard Len Kolb dropped one in from the free throw line with only one minute with 45 seconds left in the game he dribbed the length of the court to pocket a needed field goal.
With thirty seconds left in the contest Jackson scored another field goal to make the final score Anaheim 42, Newport 41 and to Anaheim, the third-place trophy.
Anaheim attempted 45 shots at the basket and connected 18 times for a nifty percentage mark of 35.6 while the Tars were attempting a mere 39 and making 13 for a 33.3 percentage mark.
Mendon walked off with high points honors with 12 while Leonard Kolb and Herbel each scored eight, high for Anaheim. Ace scorer, Aarmand Nettles had five fouls, the fifth-coming early in the third quarter to halt his chance for any high scoring. He made six in the first half.
"It was a typeally played Newport-Anaheim cage game. There weren't too many fouls called (43), but it was a close, hard-fought contest. Last year these two teams tied for the Sunset League championship."
Anaheim will now go into intensive practice during the holiday vacation with a pre-New Year's win-loss record of 6-3 and a trophy to boot."

Colonist Bee Hoopsters Lose in Bonita Finals to Whittier Cards
Anaheim stretched their win
seek to eight, then they fell for
first loss of the season and
really tumbled to the hands
feel of the Whittier Cardinals
the championship finals of the
eighth annual Bonita Invitational
basketball Bee tournament which
died Saturday afternoon.
The Colonists started out in the
curry against Monrovia and
her building up a half time lead
15-9, they coasted to a final of
20. High point man was Dennis
Lison and Paul Salazar both with
for the second straight game
each Bill Hunstock started his
unit and they built up a
f time score of 25-22. Again
a players tied for high point
nors. Pat Roberts and Bob
Swart each tallied eight.
The final score was Anaheim 44,
Bell Gardens 32. As a result of the
Bell Gardens victory, Anaheim adanced into the semi-finals, the
spot they lost out last year to the
eventual winner, Glendale Hoover.
But the Colonists weren't to be
denied the honor of playing in the
championship finals as they powered by the Chaffey Tigers in a
hard-fought contest. Anaheim led
at half time 16-11 and won the
game by the score 37-28 for the
right to meet the winner of the
Whittier-Chino contest. Whittier
won that game 61-31.
Half time score in the ColonistCardinal contest was 29-10, Whittier
leading and that just what
they did throughout the entire
game and in more ways than one.
The final score was 71-40—stopping the Anaheim win streak and handing them their first loss of the year. Whittier had a center on their team that stood 6'3" and combined with four seniors the Red and White presented too much experience and height for the little speedy Colonists.
Pat Roberts had the honor of being selected on the all-tourney first team. Roberts didn't score in the Monrovia game, but then he erupted for eight in the Bell Gardens game, three in the Chaffey game and nine in the final contest.
In the consolation bracket,
Monrovia edged Rosemead for the title. Past tourney winners at Bonita were Long Beach Poly in 1948, Bell Gardens, 1949; Glendale Hoover, 1950 and this year Whittier.
Michigan State's cross-country team has a novel warm-up session preceding daily workouts. The Spartan harriers limber up by playing touch football.
Winner of four important stakes in 1949, the veteran Donor will attempt to comeback this season at Hialeah. The eight year old gelding has been away from racing since August 1950.

Tex Middleton in Rare Form, But Team Falls; Williams Girls Lose in LA Matches
Although Tex Middleton Anaheim's only respresentative on the Fullerton C League winter tennis team, had a perfect day with a double win in both singles and doubles, the Fullerton team was edged out of the Southern California City League Championship playoff by a 6 to 5 score.
Fullerton had previously won the Mid-Cities championship for this district as well as an opening round play-off match against the Exposition Park team last week. In the semi-final round yesterday against a strong South Gate aggregation, Fullerton held its own until the last match which broke a 5-5 tie, giving South Gate the team victory and putting them into the final round where they will play the winner between Griffith Park and the Los Angeles Olympic team.
In the matches played on the neutral Lakewood courts in Long Beach, Middleton won a tough singles match from E. Leseney, 9-7, 6-3, with both men putting up a stubborn fight for the advantage to be gained on an opening set win. Middleton finally pulled through after a steady exchange of services, and then went on to take the second set very handily. He then teamed with Kenneth Wude of Fullerton to defeat B. Zcach and H. Stormquist 7-5, 6-1, but the Fullerton team was unable to win the decisive match point.
In additional tennis over the week-end Jean and Anne Williams were defeated in the Southern California Mid-Winter Championships at the West Side Tennis club in Los Angeles where they were entered in the 15 and under girl's singles. Anne was blanked by Judy Wilmarth of North Hollywood. Jean drew a first round bye with the luck of the draw pitting her against Miss Walmarth in the second round where she took only two more games than Anne had won.
There will be no more tournament activity now until after the vacation rush has subsided, with the first scheduled event for local players, after the new year, being a meeting at the home of Mrs. Bob Williams on W. Sycamore st., on Jan. 7 from 7 to 9 p.m., to which 45 junior players from the Anaheim and Orange county districts have been invited for the purpose of forming an Anaheim Tennis club.
Santa Claus Comes Early to LA As 49ers Hand Title to Rams
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Santa Claus came early to the Los Angeles Rams. And he looked surprisingly like Joe Arenas, rookie San Francisco halfback, who led the '49ers to a surprise 21-17 victory over Detroit.
Without that upset, the Rams wouldn't be on top of their division in the National Football League, facing the Cleveland Browns here Sunday for the pro championships.
Of course, the Rams' sparkplug, veteran Bob Waterfield, had a big hand. He tossed five touchdown passes to give the Rams a 42-14 victory over Green Bay—a win just as essential to the Rams.
The Green Bay contest was a strange affair in the fourth quarter.
As the field announcer told the crowd that Arenas had run a punt back 51 yards deep into Detroit territory, the 23,896 fans cheered wildly.
When the public address system carried the word that the '49ers were on Detroit's two-yard mark, every head swung toward the press box for a signal that San Francisco had scored. When the sign came, the biggest roar of the day went up.
Even coach Joe Stydahar, all 275 pounds of him, did a jig on the sidelines. And the Rams were
