Kentucky Wildcats at Top of Class in Weekly AP Poll; UCLA Rated 16 NEW YORK (P) — Kentucky's basketball team is back at the head of the class in the weekly Associated Press poll. The Wildcats, named the top college cage team in the country yesterday by 41 of the 106 sports writers and sports casters participating in the poll, face a rough road this week. They take on UCLA, No. 16, tonight. Then they become involved with such worries as St. Louis, Villanova and Brigham Young in the Sugar Bowl tournament starting Thursday. Upset by Minnesota two weeks ago, Kentucky regained the top by crushing St. John's 81-40, and drubbing De Paul, 98-60, last week. St. John's was No. 1 a week earlier. Unbeaten Illinois (5-0), which moved up from third to second on the strength of successive victories over Oklahoma, North Carolina and De Paul, has only one game on tap, but it is a toughie. The Illini opponent will be UCLA on Friday. ARCADIA (P)—Calumet Farms' 6-year-old mare Two Lea, here for the Santa Anita racing season, has popped a leg splint and will be out of action for at least a month. Rated on a point basis, with 10 for first, nine for second and so on, Kentucky received 863 points to Illinois' 827. Top ten (first place votes in parentheses): 1. Kentucky (41) 2. Illinois (21) 3.

NEW YORK (P) — Roger Donoghue, a skinny welterweight with a hefty punch, was favored at 5 to 9 to defeat Vinnie D'Andrea in the main eight-rounder at St. Nicholas arena tonight. For the second time in two years the all-CIF first team conference has been filled by a team from the Sunset league and year the honor goes to Anaheim Gene Geselle who was instrumental in leading the Colonists undefeated loop season. Last year Augie Frownfeller Fullerton was selected by Helms Atlantic Foundation Southern California Board of Ball Selectors as a first choice Frownfelter, who won 175 led the Indians to the finals where they fell to wchamp Compton.

Don't forget that bonds are now a better buy than ever. Because now every Series E Bond you own can automatically go on earning interest every year for 20 years from date of purchase instead of 10 as before! This means that the bond you bought for $18.75 can return you not just $25—but as much as $33.33! A $37.60 bond pays $66.00. And so on.

The Treasury Department thanks, for their patriotic donation, the Advertising Council and Anaheim Gazette Gene Geselle, Anaheim Center, Picked On CIF Football First Team of 1951 For the second time in two years the all-CIF first team center position has been filled by a player from the Sunset league and this year the honor goes to Anaheim's Gene Geselle who was instrumental in leading the Colonists to an defeated loop season. Last year Augie Frownfelter of Ellerton was selected by the Elms Atlantic Foundation's All-Southern California Board of football selectors as a first team voice. Frownfelter, who weighed 25 led the Indians to the CIF finals where they fell to winning camp, Compton. Geselle, weighing 180* was a standout as middle linebacker on offense and offensive center for Colonists. He injured his leg early in the season, but recuperated in time to stop the league opponents dead in their tracks. Geselle made the all-league first and was selected on the all-ague second team last year behind Frownfelter. The Anaheim ace was one of the tree lightest on the mythical All-CIF 1851 grid team at 180 with A. D. Williams, end from Santa Monica and guard Dick Gudmundson of Compton. There were three repeaters from last year's grand CIF team—Marty Keough, Frank Layana of Loyola and Hardiman Cureton of Monrovia. Halfback Keough, who led the Pomona Red Devils to an undefeated season, was selected as the player of the year to succeed the title worn by San Diego's giant end, Charlie Powell. Layana, fullback from Loyola, made the blocking back spot on last year's team while Cureton, tackle of Monrovia's once beaten Wildcats was the heaviest man on the squad with his 235 pounds. It was interesting to note that all three repeaters, Keough, Layana and Cureton all gained five pounds from last season's wars. The line average for this year's CIF squad figures out at 202.8 pounds per lineman. Last year the average was a mere 187 pounds. Hudson Left Off Team Two first stringers from last year's all-CIF team couldn't make the first team again this year—Don Hudson of Fullerton and Don Hickman of Mark Keppel, both backs. Hudson couldn't even make the third team, while Hickman made the second team. Hickman, who weighed 180 last season, gained ten pounds this year, but still managed to spark his team to a better than average season. Hudson who was the leading scorer in the Sunset league this past season and one of the hardest runners ever seen in these parts of the country, certainly deserved some spot on the team, but he didn't make it. Besides Geselle there was only one other player on the 1951 all-CIF grid team and that was Duane Pennington of Fullerton who made a spot on the second team. All first team members are from senior class and will not be back next year as is the case with all second team members. There was only one junior on the third team and that is Harlan Geach of Redondo. He weighs 203 and is 6'4". It was quite different from last year's CIF team where four of the five backs were all juniors. First team nominee will serve as Past Season For AL Pitchchief. CHIGAGO (UP)—The league baseball season big one for pitchers. Sit into the charmed 20-game circle—the most since an dozen made it in 1922. Sharing pitching honors the big winners was Saundra 209-pound Chicago rink with an earned run in 2-78. Chester Nichols, rookie paw of the Boston Bruins 2-88 to top the National Rugby league appeared in completed 17 pitched 21 and had a 12-8 record. Only 70 runs, 67 of which earned Eddie Lopat of the New York Knicks was the only pu ttwinter to come in three-run mark. He had. The Cleveland Indians used three 20-game wins Felix (32-8), Early Wynn and Mike Garela (20-1), York had Lopat (21-9). Ruschi (21-10). The sixth St. Louis Browns Ned (20-12). Lopat is the only leftfielder group. Scanning Sports By STAN JONES Setting out with a large loud fan over the holiday were all fans from Fullerton who couldn't understand the fact that their ace fullback, Don Hudson didn't repeat on the All-CIF team selections which wereently announced. Hudson made the first team year in leading the Braves their fourth straight loop and was easily a standout the team. But he did even bet this year, although the team their grip hold on the league to Anaheim. Hudson kicked the extra points, led the plays, and played left on defense and had the honor never being stopped for a entire season. He topped league scorers and the only he was injured in a game, Anaheim contest, did the injuries lose. Coach Dick Spaulding said that he would rather have Pennington's on his team day in place of three Hudson, and who else but a coach did know how to rate his man. There is no denying it, Huddon deserve a spot on the CIF as did another local boy didn't even make the Sunset que team and that is the Colquarterback, Leonard Kolb, was the trickiest faker in league with the ball. Morrow afternoon the anti-invitational Sam Barry Memorial basketball tournament will under way in Glendale with Fullerton junior college and Ana entered. The Hornet attend to National Baseball Bureau, P. O. Box 777, Williston, Florida between now and April 1952. Sporting fans across the country are in the process of deciding who they think is the past year. It seems like a tough choice what with strong contenders as Sugar Ray Robinson, Otto Graham, Monte Irwin and Lloyd Mangrum on the list for possible consideration. Ray Beck, Georgia Tech's All-American guard, credits marriage with his big improvement as a football player. Being married he commented during the recent gridiron season, teaches a fellow to meet different situations. Women are changeable, he explained. Always making up their minds about something else. That's the way a football opponent is when he's on the offensive. He'll throw a pass on one play and then try to bluff his way through with a fake lateral. A defensive lineman has to be ready to meet those different situations. Marriage is one way to learn.

Coach Chuck Taylor's Pacific Coast Conference champs will establish one marks simply by showing up against Illinois. It will be the Indians' ninth time in the Pasadena classic, all against eastern foes. Southern Cal has been there nine times too. But one of the Trojans' pouts was against Washington, another PCC team. That year, 1944, the coast didn't penetrate a historic match. Stanford's Grif Southland Today PASADENO (F) — Stanford football game reaches the Bowl sector today, marking first time the Indians have in the Tournament of Rose tacle since 1941. The Indians pitched canary arrowhead in the San Dino mountains. And if the 1951 Indian can measure up to the stare set by that squad of a ago maybe the Pacific Coference can embark on a string of successes in the Bowl and end its five drought. The 1941 Stanfords were things of a historic milestone. NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Sugar Bowl weeks gets underway today with the arrival of Tennessee and Maryland at their football training camps. Tennessee, the national champion after placing first in the final 1951 Associated Press poll is flying to Baton Rouge for final workouts on the Louisiana State University campus. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Play opens here tomorrow afternoon in the third annual Dixie Classic Basketball Tournament with twice-beaten North Carolina State rated the favorite. Two of the eight teams, Columbia and Navy, were due to arrive today. Already on the scene are defending champion North Carolina State, Southern California and Cornell. NEW YORK (AP)—Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge's "ideal look" has brought the Massachusetts Republican top ranking in the American Women's Institute's 1851 list of the nation's ten best-dressed males. If You Drivel Don't Drink Coach Chuck Taylor's Pacific Coast Conference champs will establish one mark simply by showing up against Illinois. It will be the Indians' ninth time in the Pasadena classic, all against eastern foes. Southern Cal has been there nine times, too. But one of the Trojans' jousts was against Washington, another PCC team. That year, 1944, the coast didn't call in an eastern team because of wartime travel limitations. It's heresy to say it here, but odds makers expect Stanford to make it seven straight losses by a PCC team. That would be another record. The string was started in 1946 when Southern Cal lost to Alabama. UCLA lost in '47. Sout Cal again in '48, and the California Bears the past three years in a row. Victory would give Stanford and the PCC a heartening—and long overdue—record. No coast team has clunked a Big Ten member since the league signed their first exclusive Rose Bowl back five games back. Even a tie would be a record—there's never been one in the Rose Bowl. Stanford already has two Pasadena records. The Indians played in the first Rose Bowl game in 1902. They don't like to be reminded of the other set in that scrap—a record 49-0 plastering by Michigan. The Wolverines tied that one by pasting USC 49-0 in 1948. In color television, the basic colors are red, green and blue rather than red, green and yellow. The Indians pitched carcass Arrowhead in the San Bernardino mountains. And if the 1951 Indians can measure up to the stare by that squad of a ago, maybe the Pacific Coast conference can embark on a string of successes in the Bowl and end its five drought. The 1941 Stanfords were nothing of a history making as well as victors over New York 21-13. At the helm was Clark Shnessy and the style of play the T-formation. The Shnessy T-party was a rehaunting something very old and some very new and something like the Chicago Bear attack. It swept through the olympics in the 1940 season and one of the finest casts in my college football history did knockout blow to a good helpless Cornhusker. Running the T-assault t and still running it for the Francisco 49ers in pro footballs was the gifted Franklin A. With him in the backfield named still fresh to the L Norm (The Chief) Star Hugh Gallarneau and Pete Boivic. Stanford's win brought coast triumphs to six straights Oregon State made 47 sevens Duke in the 1942 games planted by the war unergene Durham. Georgia and its Charlie T snapped the string with a winer UCLA the next year, and came along to win the war games over Washington and nessce and then lose to Alabam Past Season Tops For AL Pitchers CHICAGO (UP)—The 1951 American league baseball season was a big one for pitchers. Six crowded into the charmed 20-game winning circle—the most since another half dozen made it in 1922. Sharing pitching honors with the big winners was Saul Rogovin, 200-pound Chicago righthander with an earned run average of 2.78. Chester Nichols, rookie southpaw of the Boston Braves, posted 2.88 to top the National League. Rogovin appeared in 31 games completed 17 pitched 217 innings and had a 12-8 record. He allowed only 70 runs, 67 of which were earned. Eddie Lopat of the New York Yankees was the only pitcher A. L. Twister to come in under the three-run mark. He had (2-2). The Cleveland Indians contributed 24-game winner Bob Feltrin (22-8), Early Wynn (20-12) and Mike Garela (20-13). New York had Lopat (21-9) and Vic Raschi (21-10). The sixth was the St. Louis Browns' Ned Garver (20-12). Lopat is the only leftfinder in the group. Colonist Hoopsters Continue Practice Today in Gym A week from today Anaheim's cagers will get back into action against the Buccaneers from Bellflower whom the locals have already defeated in all four classes—Varsity, Bee, Cee and Dee. Anaheim's varsity cagers will be in practice today and again Friday at 4 p.m and conclude their holiday practice sessions with a practice on Monday at 4 p.m. All practices will be held in the local gym under the direction of head coach Clare Van Hoorebeke. The practice is bound to produce some startling results with the Blue and Gold clad hoopsters since Van Hoorebeke really hasn't had any time to work out the different plays for the locals. When the hoop season started Van Hoorebeke was still out with his football team working for the CIF semi-final round. They lost to Santa Monica, but the cage team under the direction of Bill Hunstock had already started their season of play. Van Hoorebeke took over the reins and before he knew it the team was entered in a tourney at Huntington Beach, still without any real practice. The coach really didn't know just what each boy could do, let alone half of the games, but practice sessions have changed all that. Although the Colonists outpointed their foe through the nine games—400 to 337 they still were ragged on their defense and with Van Hoorebeke a stifler for defensive play, the locals should really be a colorful, winning team to watch, as they have in past years under the direction of coach Sam Keith. This is Clare Van Hoorebeke's first year as Anaheim varsity cage and already he has brought back to the local trophy case a trophy from the tourney the team entered two weeks ago. But the team is a long way from being rated championship caliber—as they were last year. But the team of 1951-52 has several outstanding stars or potential stars and with a few more games under their bolts, they should be right up in the thick of the fighting for the league title. They tied with Newport Harbor for the crown last season while the Bee won the group all... American, Australian Davis Cup Teams Tied at End of First Round SYDNEY, Australia (UP) — American and Australian Davis Cup forces battled to a standstill in the first two singles matches before a crowd of 15,300 at White City stadium today and the consensus tonight was that the challenge round will be decided by tomorrow's doubles. Vic Selkas sent Uncle Sam's team in front with a dull 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 victory over badly stage-striken Mervyn Rose, but Frank Sedgman squared the issue with brilliant triumph over veteran Ted Schroeder, 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Frank Shields, captain of the U.S. team, announced immediately after the second match that he will stick with his doubles pair, Schroeder and Tony Trabert against Sedgman and Ken McGregor tomorrow "unless somebody comes up lame." Schroeder figures to be a tired 9-year-old after the stirring battle he gave Sedgman in the final two sets today. Should Shields decide to rest him for singles on final day, his place will be taken by Dick Savitt. Ted gave a memorable performance against Sedgman who for the day virtually was unbeatable and just fell short of carrying the young Aussie ace to the fifth set. Shields, feeling no regret at having chosen the veteran over Savitt for the singles, shouted "wasn't it a great match?" Although defeated, Schroeder gave the big crowd the thrill it had waited for by rallying to win the third set and fighting Sedgman to a bitter finish in the fourth. He fought off four set and match points before Sedgman finally passed him cleanly at the net for the clincher. The crowd stood and gave both innovation as they shook hands. For the greater part of the match Sedgman's tennis was brilliant in the extreme. Possibly no amateur who ever lived could have beaten him in the first two sets. He trailed off slightly in the third possibly in surprise at Schroeder's sudden determined rally. But the blond star was right back giving a beautiful demonstration of every shot in the game in the fourth set and nothing Schroeder could do was good enough to stem the tide. Senate Committee Checks Army Golf Courses Overseas WASHINGTON (UP) — Reporting that the Army has 41 golf courses at overseas bases, a Senate Armed Services Subcommittee today asked whether they are an unnecessary luxury. The subcommittee on preparedness, which has been doing a watchdog job on the multi-billion dollar defense program, said Army golf courses are also numerous in this country, but if did not say how many there are. It noted courses at five of the eight army training centers visited by its investigators. Nearby Fort Belvoir, Va., had two. The report said the 11 overseas golf courses included 18 in the European command, 17 in the Pacific, five in the Caribbean command and one in Alaska. Don Coleman, Michigan State's lightweight tackle, was the boy who threw the key block when Dick Panin ran 88 yards for a TD against Notre Dame. Stanford's Grid Forces Arrive in Southland Today, Head for Hills PASADENO (UP) — Stanford's football game reaches the Roseowl sector today, marking the first time the Indians have been the Tournament of Roses specie since 1941. The Indians pitched camp at Crowhead in the San Bernardo mountains. And if the 1951 Indian team measure up to the standard by that squad of a decade, maybe the Pacific Coast conference can embark on another ring of successes in the Roseowl and end its five-year ought. The 1941 Stanfords were some of a historic milestone. That brings us to 1947, and the start of the five-year headache generated by Big Ten teams. The 1951 Stanford team is much like the 1940 Stanfords. Both had been flops the season before. Both caught the fire and the fancy to come out on top. WICHITA, Kas. (UP) — Three small girls burned to death and eight other members of a negro family were injured when fire destroyed their four-room home late Christmas night. NEW YORK (UP)—The 2499-top team entered two weeks ago. But the team is a long way from being rated championship caliber—as they were last year. But the team of 1951-52 has several outstanding stars or potential stars and with a few more games under their bolts, they should be right up in the thick of the fighting for the league title. They tied with Newport Harbor for the crown last season while the Bee team won the crown all by themselves. Up from that Bee team are players Bill Ames, Gayle Herbel, Dave Moody—all first stringers of the last game in the Oiler tourney. The Indians pitched camp at Browhead in the San Bernardino mountains. And if the 1951 Indian team measure up to the standard by that squad of a decade, maybe the Pacific Coast conference can embark on another string of successes in the Roseowl and end its five-year drought. The 1941 Stanford were some of a history making team well as victors over Nebraska. At the helm was Clark Shaughnessy and the style of play was T-formation. The Shaughnessy T-party was a rehash of everything very old and something new and something indeed the Chicago Bear attack. It swept through the opposition in the 1940 season and with of the finest casts in modern era football history dealt a backout blow to a good but endless Cornhusker. Running the T-assault then still running it for the San Francisco 49ers in pro football—the gifted Franklin Albert—him in the backfield were still fresh to the fans—am (The Chief) Standice, with Gallarneau and Pete Kmet. Stanford's win brought the first triumphs to six straight. Oregon State made it seven over CCLA the next year, and USC along to win the war time ties over Washington and Tenebre and then lose to Alabama. ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO.
