Sunset League Basketball Scanning Sports By STAN JONES A team can have just about the best material in the league, in regard to the caliber of team members, but they will probably finish deep down in the league standings unless they have just as much or more playing experience behind them as the other loop teams. A player needs to learn his plays, his defensive stands and the period to know his teammates and what each of them can and does do in a game, and along with this the coach gets to see more players in action before the league races start and draw his conclusions as to which of them will fit into style the best and quickest. Lots of games give the team members and coach a chance to work out the bugs of the formations they are using and to give both a background of confidence in their ability and team members. Games get a player in condition, get them to play in different gyms and under different conditions all of which goes to blend a team into it winner instilled with poise and confidence. Start Bad Habits Games will never hurt a team, unless it is too early in the season when they might tend to rush things and tend to get pulled lag seemingly get more out of the boys than can their girl friends, which is certainly going strong. Clare, like most coaches, likes and loves to be around growing youth and helping them to learn the proper way not only to play the game correctly, but to play the game like a gentleman and in the proper manner. The ex-Huntington Beach athlete and Arizona desert rat has only been in Anaheim for two years and has already instilled into the community the habit of winning teams, something that hasn't happened in such a short period before. In the major sports he took over football in 1950 and repeated the next year while taking over the duties as head coach of the American Legion baseball team and now this season as head basketball coach. On the side he took charge of the swimming team. In football he has won 11 games and lost seven for a better than average mark of .611. In basketball he has led his team to five victories and three defeats for a mark of .623. In baseball he won 16 games and lost eight for a mark of .667 which gives Van Hoorebeke an over all win-loss record of 32-18 which is a very Bee Hoopsters Open Crown Tomorrow Although the Santa Ana only six games and won the played ten and won eight, the Santa Ana gym tomorrow contest, something the record Santa Ana's team, coach last two contests while Anaheim has lost their final two pre-loose games and that could be just the starting of long streaks for both teams. Santa Ana has rolled up a total 168 points in the six games for 28.0 average while holding the opposition to a point output 199 for a 33.1 average per game.

Anaheim has totaled 407 points Games get a player in condition, get them to play in different gyms and under different conditions all of which goes to blend a team into it winner instilled with poise and confidence. Start Bad Hits Games will never hurt a team, unless it is too early in the season when they might tend to rush things and tend to get pulled leg muscles, blisters, start bad habits and foul to an excess. Anaheim has played ten cage games this season prior to the league opener which starts tomorrow and that number is second in the league to Orange with 11 games. Anaheim has won seven of their contests while the Panthers have captured seven of theirs although the Panthers have lost one more than the Colonists. Huntington Beach has played nine, winning 9. Santa Ana played seven and won three. Fullerton's Indians have played the least of the loop foe, five while winning only two. Heres' the way the pre-Sunset league standings stack up: Team Won Lost Huntington Beach 9 0 Anaheim 7 3 Orange 7 4 Newport Harbor 6 3 Santa Ana 3 4 Fullerton 2 3 Big that is quite a difference picture than the predicted final results of the league standings. Last year Anaheim and Newport Harbor tied for the crown and the year before it was Anaheim and Santa Ana ending in a deadlock for the crown, but as a result of the pre-league results the champ for the coming season looks like Huntington Beach. The Oilers are undefeated and have already knocked over league opponents Orange 74-51 and Newport 47-42 in their own tourney which they won by edging Bell Gardens 41-25, the same Gardens team that squeaked by Santa Ana by one point 43-42 and beat Anaheim 49-42. Heres' the way the Sunset League standings stack up: In football he has won 11 games and lost seven for a better than average mark of .611. In basketball he has led his team to five victories and three defeats for a mark of .625. In baseball he won 16 games and lost eight for a mark of .667 which gives Van Hoorebeke an over all win-loss record of 32-18 which is a very good percentage mark of .640. Missed Two Games He missed out on two games in the current basketball campaign as he did in the final games of the legion tourney at La Palma park where he directed the team to upset after upset in the first rounds. His football teams have placed third and first in the league final standings while big baseball team ended the county competition in a tie for second spot with Orange who they defeated twice. His basketball team has already brought home a third place trophy in the Huntington Beach tourney. So even though the Oilers are undefeated and rated to win the cage crown, don't count out the Colonists, not with Clare Van Hoorebeke directing the team from his coaching box. Local Cee Team To Meet Saints Rolling along at a 47.3 point average per game clip, the Anaheim Cee basketball team opens the Sunset League race tomorrow afternoon in the high school gym against Santa Ana. Coach Dick Glover's Cee team has piled up a grand total of 379 points in their eight games while Past League Champs Cees 1923 - Huntington Beach. 1928 - Orange. 1940 - Huntington Beach. 1941 - Fullerton. 1942 - Newport. 1943 - Huntington Beach. 1944 - Huntington Beach. 1945 - Huntington Beach. 1946 - Huntington Beach. 1947 - Huntington Beach. 1948 - Huntington Beach. 1949 - Huntington Beach. 1950 - Huntington Beach. 1951 - Anaheim. Anaheim has totaled 407 points in the 10 games for a 40.1 average while limiting the enemy to 31 points for a 31.9 average. There has been one common opponent between the two teams—Tustin and the results bear out the choice as Anaheim has a slight favorite in tomorrow's game, but only by a very slight margin. Anaheim walloped the Tillers in the second game of the year, 35-25 and the Saints fell to the Black and White had team 39-28 in their fourth game of the season. Important Meet Home for All Tennis Tenight, starting at 7, in the home of Mrs. Melva Williams 405 W. Sycamore st., will be one of the more important sport meetings held in this community for a long time. Plans are underway for the inauguration of an Anaheim Tennis club, something the city needs and something the people want. Tennis is a sport for young and old alike and all should get behind this wonderful idea and help this club to grow and grow and grow. Mary Flynn, Anaheim's promising young junior tennis player yesterday won her way into the semi-finals of the Mid Cities Winter League Tennis championships in the individual play-offs held on the Long Beach City College courts. Her victories in the opening rounds were particularly impressive when she dropped only three games in four sets to take two one-sided matches. In the first round Miss Elva The Oilers are undeleted and have already knocked over league opponents Orange 74-51 and Newport 47-42 in their own tourney which they won by edging Bell Garden 31-25, the same Gardens team that squeaked by Santa Ana by one point 43-42 and beat Anaheim 49-42. Heres the way the Sunset League basketball race could finish off their pre-league records and abilities. Huntington Beach Anaheim Newport Harbor Santa Ana Pullerton Orange Picking a reason for Anaheim to win the league race would not be too hard to find, what with Ira Webber, Bill Ames, Dave Moody, John Steinborn, Gayle Herbel, Leonard Kolb, Jim Holve, Harold Rees and Dean Philpott on the squad, but the main reason would be due to the coach, Clara Van Hoorebeke. Clare vs. Gira He knows the old and the new psychology book inside out and from back to front and he can hold their opposition to an output of 218 for a 27.2 average per contest. Anaheim's Cee's haven't won a league championship for the past two seasons, but when they did win they made it an outstanding period—winning for three straight years, although the first year, 1947, they tied for the crown with Huntington Beach, the champ for the past two years. The Cee's have played eight games and have won seven for a slightly sensational record, but coaches and team members usually point for one thing and most teams are eyeing the league title which is truly a worthy goal for all to shoot for. The starting five tomorrow will be Paul Grover and Gabriel Math at forwards and Henry Herrera at the center post. Guards will be Danny Salaets and Jerry Schacht. Other squad members are Ronnie Sabo, Charles Sowers, Bob Loustau, Vincent Deveney, Don Hubbard, Leroy Weaver; Frank Doretti, Eugene Adams, Dick Bielefeld, Al Gasteluna Walty, Hahne, Dick Hathcoch, Ron Muster, Gabriel Nato, Charles Prince, Bob Wada and manager- Basketball Race Starts Tu Gazette SPORTS The Hoopsters Open Defense of Loop Town Tomorrow in Santa Ana at 4 p.m. Although the Santa Ana Bee basketball team has played six games and won two while Anaheim’s Bees have ten and won eight, the Sunset league opener in the Santa Ana gym tomorrow afternoon could be a very close contest, something the records won't attest too. Santa Ana's team, coached by Bill Cole, has won their two contests while Anaheim at their final two pre-loop and that could be just the length of long streaks for both Santa Ana has rolled up a total of nine in the six games for a average while holding their on to a point output of a 33.1 average per game. Anaheim has shared in the Sunset League title for the past four years, winning the crown, all by themselves in 1948 and 1951 and tying for the crown in 1949 with Newport Harbor and in 1950 with Huntington Beach. Santa Ana has never been in the championship role for the Bee league title. Colonist coach, Bill Hunstock will probably start freshman Mike Beach at one forward post and at the other George Bishop. At the center spot will be Fred Frank while the guards will be Bob Stewart and Pat Roberts. Other squad members for the locals are Dennis Nelson, Frank Navarro, Paul Salazar, Lonnie Jenkins, Don Isbell, Fredanchez, John Wright, Darrell Meade. Title Match on Tap Friday Night At County Arena Orange County's Athletic club will re-open with a championship wrestling match Friday night as it starts the 1952 season. It was announced by Sybil Willis, promoter today. The title match, a return of the hectic one-hour split-fall draw between Baron Leone and Black Panther, will be for the Baron's title and belt and for a two-hour limit. In switching from Monday to Friday nights the club has responded to hundreds of requests made by youthful followers of the sport in the county. The switch is anticipated to up attendance, the OCAC said. Black Panther and the Baron waged their torrid battle at the highway arena last Oct. 29, and the "Panther" has been issuing challenges, demanding a title rematch ever since that time. He even charged that the Baron feared meeting him at the OCAC High school basketball start playing their games official loop race starts on the pre-circuit results the flag real thriller from stem to toe.
