Fullerton Five Power Past Locals, 66-34 With three players hitting for 12 or more points, the Fullerton Five clicked again for another of their high scoring victories in the Anaheim City loop competition over McCarthy's last night, 66-34. High scoring honors for the game went to McCarthy forward, Vern Schliske with 23 points, but it was the team play of the visitors that turned the game into a rout. Guard Charles Meyers potted 22 points, center Dean Erickson scored 16 and forward Jack King 12. It kept the Fullerton team in close contention for the runner-up spot which is currently held by the Rita Cleaners.

Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees has hit eight home runs in World Series play. Announcement came yesterday through the newspapers that Bob Winslow, former grid star and assistant coach at the University of Southern California, resigned as head football coach of the University of Arizona. Winslow submitted his resignation to Dr. Richard A. Harvill, University president yesterday. Winslow had been under fire since Arizona was beaten 61-14 by Arizona State college at Tempe, its bitterest rival, earlier in the season. Immediately following the defeat prominent alumni asked that Winslow be dismissed at once. Rumors have been creeping around this area for some time that the alumni in Arizona want their old friend and favorite to come back and take over the head coaching duties of the football team, Gerald Oliver. Oliver is currently under contract to the Fullerton junior college athletic board, signing a contract late in 1949. Prior to that time Gerald "Tex" Oliver had coached at Oregon St. Mary's Preflight during the war and in general had been a coach in the big time. But he soon got tired of coaching and wanted to go back to Arizona and rest, which he did along with selling insurance on the side. After a few years of this the old big returned to the coach, as it almost always does around the Several disgruntled individuals didn't like the results the Goddard had produced in years and they tried and tried of one of the best coaches seen in these parts. So, the post was open to tween 60 and 75 individuals in their names for consideration of the Hornet post, but no individuals wanted a "big" at the school to help draw of the more outstanding prospects to Fullerton. Oliver was hired and for next two years Fullerton had old Oliver as their coach and result there will be nobody country rooting harder forever to take the Arizona job from Fullerton. They will all be pulling pushing for dear old Tex receive such a wonderful opportunity as the head coaching a four-year university and in zona yet. It has been widely known both Oliver and the schools and alumni were displeased the set-up in Fullerton and way it looks both sides hard points to argue from. The Hornetts haven't ever an Eastern Conference grid championship and for the last or five years have never been in the running for the ner-up spot.

A change is in sight at Hornet-ee and from every standpoint,wpoint, hilltop and vantage crowd of 15,300 at the White City stadium gave a five-minute roar of triumph after Sedgman nearly knocked Seixas' racket from his hand with his unreturnable service for final point. They remained standing for another 20 minutes while Prime Minister Robert Menzies presented the trophy to the winners in a midcourt ceremony. They wound up three happy days by giving three cheers for both teams. Australia was in the throes of a fine tennis binge tonight. Sedgman was the toast on every lip. Not until they witnessed this flawless performances the past three days had the Australians quite realized what a truly great tennis player the Menzies youngster has become. In defeating Schroeder, ing day, then joining Kerr gor in the vital doubles over Schroeder and To bert yesterday and beating today, he lost only one win to Schroeder after two sets to none. It appears certain Sedgman turn professional sometime in the new year. If he does be worth anybody's money. Seixas today played pro good tennis as he over p 28 years. He fought valiantly every point right to the end he never had a ghost of against the inspired athlete other side of the net. Gazette SPORT East-West Shrine Grid Contest At Kezar Tomorrow – 1:30 on TV SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Fifty of America's greatest college football stars, including eight All-Americas, do their bit for crippled chil- for their abilities solely on offense or defense. A few like USC's Matson, were 50 to 60-minute men. Matson, named on Terrific Duel Slated for Bowl T-Quarterback PASADENA (AP) — O drills again dominated w of the Stanford and Hilo East-West Shrine Grid Contest At Kezar Tomorrow – 1:30 on TV SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Fifty of America's greatest college football stars, including eight All-Americas, do their bit for crippled children in the annual Shrine game tomorrow. Their efforts, before a sellout crowd of 60,000 in Kezar stadium, will not net the Shriners' crippled children's hospital here more than $100,000. And they'll be seen by millions of television fans on a national hookup. Game time is 1:30 p.m. East's All-Americas are half-back Dick Kazmalep, of Princeton and tackles Bob Toneff of Notre Dame and Don Coleman of Michigan State and Ohio State's A-A halfback, Vic Janowicz, who was on 1951's second squad. The West's All-Americas are fullbacks Hugh McElhenny of Washington and Olivia Matson of San Francisco, guard Les Richter of California and tackle Jim Weatherall of Oklahoma. Kazmaler, Richter and Weatherall are A-A two-timers. But not one of them may wind up as the game's outstanding player. Many years, one of the lesser knowns is voted that honor by sports writers and casters. Inspired by visits with the boys and girls whose crippled legs the proceeds help heal...by their final appearance as a football collegian (all are seniors)...or perhaps by the spectacle itself "little guys" rise to their greatest. Two years ago it was Eddie LeBaron of College of the Pacific, a three-time little All-America, he presumably failed to make the A-A because he was a little (5 feet-10) guy, from a little school playing primarily little schools. His running and passing won him almost unanimous selection. The Washington Redskins grabbed him—but so did the U.S. Marines and as a lieutenant he went on to heroism in Korea instead of on for their abilities solely on offense or defense. A few like USC's Matson, were 50 to 60-minute men. Matson, named on the defensive team All-America, was the nation's leading collegiate ground gainer the past season with 1570 yards—just one short of the all-time record. West Head Coach Jess Neely of Rice indicated his offensive starting backfill will be McElhenny, ace coach gainer. Matson is slated for defensive duty, to start, anyhow. He's great on returning kickoffs and punts, as well as lugging the ball from scrummage. Harry Matthews Again Eludes Rival, Maxim SEATTLE (P)—The man who hollered loud enough to be heard in Congress with his demands for a Joey Maxim-Harry Matthews light heavyweight title fight has turned it down. He is Jack Hurley, cage manager of Seattle's pride and joy, 29-year-old Harry (Kid) Matthews. Matthews has been knocking out or dusting off the nation's light heavyweight boxers with monotonous regularity in 1950 and 1951. And with each triumph has come a new demand that Maxim, the champion, meet the lethal-fisted kid. The International Boxing Club of New York has been the target of most of Hurley's oft-times acrimonious demands. Congressmen from Idaho, Matthews' native state, and Washington demanded investigations of the IBC. The Department of Justice was even approached by some lawmakers of this state with a demand the IBC be charged as a trust illegal entity.

Leading the Illini attack Tommy O'Connell. His oppo the T-quarterbacking spot. Kerkorian of the Indians. There is quite a contrast between the two—the other a sophe other a senior. O'Connell is the soph, State player when he a Chicago's South Shore high. Kerkorian starred at Im high, not far from the Roof itself, and generally is r as the best quarterback S has had since the glory fireball Frankie Alberts. Both Kerkorian and O'connell are 21 years old, and build similar lines: 4 feet 11 inches pounds or so. O'Connell, particularly young man who just won N varsity letter, is notorious under fire. Kerkorian is much ther and many think he has n a gambling complex, as o predecessor, Albert, than d Illini kid.

But whether it occur in the Winter Olympiads in Oslo or not until summer games at Helsinki in doubt. My world records have been used in Moscow but few athletics from behind the Iron Curtain have competed in the free. And there have been some terrifying desertions from the Russian's satellites such as tennis tournaments or the London Olympic Games.

The Washington Redskins grabbed him —but so did the U.S. Marines and as a lieutenant he went on to heroism in Korea instead of on the pro grid. Hardly a member of the two 25-man squads failed to make his own conference All-Star team. Many appeared in the Associated Press lineman or back of the week listings. Most of the stars were selected peted in the Olympics but it took another step in that direction when the Soviet Olympics committee decided in Moscow to inform Finland that a preliminary agreement had been reached to participate at Helsinki July 19-Aug. 3. Since the World Series was inaugurated the American League has won 31 times and the National League 17. The International Boxing Club of New York has been the target of most of Hurley's oft-times acrimonious demands. Congressmen from Idaho, Matthews' native state, and Washington demanded investigations of the IBC. The Department of Justice was oven approached by some lawmakers of this state with a demand the IBC be charged as a trust illegally controlling boxing. Little developed. Then IBC matchmaker Al Weill offered a title bout for Feb. 22. He offered Matthews 15 per cent of the gate and television receipts; later upped it to 20 per cent. Hurley roared: "Insulting! Who does he think he is? Maxim couldn't draw lies." "Date, terms and other dictates connected with Maxim offer rejected," Hurley telegraphically snorted last night. "Matthews will continue his independent campaign." Allen Heath Rides Again at Speedway Allen Heath of Seattle, the coast's leading mightyidget pilot for three years, moves into AAA competition Sunday afternoon at Carrell Spodway for the first annual Sprint Bowl program, it was announced today. Heath, recently reinstated by the AAA contest board, will pilot the Conze special against a field that includes Johnny Parsons, Henry Danis, Troy Ruttman and Walt Faulkner. Those Indianapolis pilots will be shooting for possession of the famed Italian helmet, donated over three decades ago by Jim and John Val of Cucamonga. America's Davis to Ribbons tennis player the Melbourne youngster has become. In defeating Schroeder on opening day, then joining Ken McGregor in the vital doubles victory over Schroeder and Tony Trabert yesterday and beating Seixas today, he lost only one set. That was to Schroeder after he led, two sets to none. It appears certain Sedgman will turn professional sometime within the new year. If he does he will be worth anybody's money to see. Seixas today played probably as good tennis as he ever played in 28 years. He fought valiantly for every point right to the end. Yet he never had a ghost of a chance against the inspired athlete on the other side of the net. Competition Resumes in Glendale High Gym Tonight; Fullerton Sets Record, Then Loses It in Two Hours Upsets, new records, colorful play, great playing, fancy floorwork were the main theme last night in the quarter-final round of the second annual Glendale Memorial Sam Barry Basketball tournament conducted at Glendale and Hoover high schools. Los Angeles City college goes against Stockton in one championship flight semi-final while the other flight will find Pasadena battling host Glendale tonight. In the consolation bracket tonight Fullerton's Hornet squad will meet Sacramento in one semi-final tilt while the other will have Reedley going against Modesto, the tourney's defending champion. Three tourney records were set yesterday—two by Sacramento and one by Fullerton, all in the consolation bracket. The State Senators scored a grand total of 105 points in their second round game with Santa Ana to top the tourney high of 83 which was set just two hours before by Fullerton in their victory over El Camino. Sacramento's ace forward Jay Masters set an individual scoring mark when he dumped in through the hoop 35 points. The Santa Ana Dons scored 69 points and even led throughout, the first while the first unit of Joe Bruce, Walter Thompson, Charles Holloway, Jerry Philip and Jimmy Spudich played the second and final periods. It was the first game all year the Hornets played an entire game in a zone position and they certainly did all right as they led throughout the game. Stockton pulled the upset of the tourney by edging the speedy San Bernardino Indians 47-42. Pasadena beat ML San Antonio 60-51 and Glendale got by Santa Monica 49-39. In the other contests played yesterday LACC rolled by East LA 68-54; Reedley defeated Orange Coast 73-69 and Modesto breezed past LA Valley 41-33. Free Throw Tourney Underway; Schacht Leads with 83 At the present time over 150 youngsters from the third grade through high school have taken part in the Optimist Free Threw Tournament, conducted by the Recreation department. Terry Schacht, competing in the nine to 10th grade division has the all tournament score of 83 baskets out of 100 attempts. Terrific Duel Slated for Bowl T-Quarterbacks PASADENA (UP) — Offensive drills again dominated workouts of the Stanford and Illinois football teams today, leading observers to wonder what will happen New Year's Day in the duel between the rival quarterbacks. Leading the Illini attack will be Tommy O'Connell. His opposite at the T-quarterbacking spot is Gary Kerkorian of the Indians. There is quite a contrast between the two—the one a sophomore; the other a senior. O'Connell is the soph, an All-state player when he attended Chicago's South Shore high school. Kerkorian starred at Inglewood high, not far from the Rose Bowl itself, and generally is regarded as the best quarterback Stanford has had since the glory days of reball Frankie Albert. Both Kerkorian and O'Connell are 21 years old, and built along similar lines: 4 feet 11 inches, 185 pounds or so. O'Connell, particularly for a young man who just won his first varsity letter, is notoriously cool under fire. Kerkorian is much the same, and many think he has more of gambling complex, as did his dedecessor, Albert, than does the Illini kid. O'Connell's passing under pressure impressed critics who saw him operate in the Big Ten. In at grand total of 105 points in their second round game with Santa Ana to top the tourney high of 83 which was set just two hours before by Fullerton in their victory over El Camino. Sacramento's ace forward Jay Masters set an individual scoring mark when he dumped in through the hoop 35 points. The Santa Ana Dons scored 69 points and even led throughout the first quarter. Playing forward Bob Smith at center the Dons out-rebounded and out-scored the States for a few minutes, but by half time the score was 40-35, in favor of the eventual winners. Rel Schmidt guard for the Dons, played his usual aggressive game and turned out to be the playmaker for the Dons in the first half, but the short Dona just couldn't cope with the taller enemy and fell apart in the final minutes. Fullerton started their second team first and they played the entire first and third quarters. Least two games, his come-through throws brought victories over Washington and Michigan. Incidentally, he was good enough to win the quarterbacking spot from a senior, Don Engels, himself no slouch as a T-man. Kerkorian is much better known out here, and has established himself as a fine all-round grid performer. He can run, pass, handle the ball and placekick. He also has a world of poise and confidence, as shown best when he escapes from a trap and either runs with the ball or throws it. He ran 68 yards for a touchdown on one occasion this fall. At the present time over 150 youngsters from the third grade through high school have taken part in the Optimist Free Threw Tournament, conducted by the Recreation department, Jerry Schacht, competing in the nine to 10th grade division has the all tournament score of 83 baskets out of 100 attempts. The tournament is sponsored with the idea that many a game is won or lost on the foul line and it is important to be able to make those shots count. Winners in each division thus far are: 11 and 12th—Bill Ames, Gene Gibson, Ronnie Sanchez, Hart Hessel, Carlos Ochoa. Nine and 10th—Jerry Schacht, Mike Beach, Dennis Nelson, Jacinto Chavez, Robert Loustau. Seventh and eighth—Terry Tagney, John Villafanda, Tom Torres, Tom Frank, Bill Otta. Fifth and sixth—Ralph Cram, Bob Hatfield, Don Kliss, Rudy Lopez, John Holton. Third and fourth—Kenny Mossman, Bob Leo, Larry White, Scott Rauland, Robert Dietz. The tournament will run through Jan. 5, with the Optimist club providing trophies for the winners. Recreation department supervised elementary school playgrounds and the high school are the areas where the tournament is being run off. See your local playground director for details. There have been three tie games in World Series competition and the New York Giants have been involved in two of them.
