ON THE LAM with Jim Lamhofer Completion of this last weekend's play brought the southern division basketball title chase to the halfway mark, and while the four entries take a respite for a couple of weeks to catch their breath and wrestle with their final semester examinations, it might be well for us to take stock of the situation. Harkening back to our leadoff column the first of this month, we recall, with slight embarrassment, that we picked Stanford for first and California to wind up last in the southern half of the PCC. Much has been said for California. Expected to be the league doormats, the Bears have to date shown the most consistency and thus are the class of the loop. Cal has come up with two of the finest guards and best ball-hawkers in the circuit in rookie Jim Doan and ex-footballer Tom Greenleaf. Doan has justified the promise he showed in practice tussles, and Greenleaf has both steadied and sparked the club. Cal, like UCLA, is well-nigh unbeatable in its own gym if it has a halfway good team. This year the Bears have lost their only foreign-court encounter, to Stanford at Palo Alto. Their only other loss was to SC by a mere one point at Berkeley. The shoe may be worn on the other hoof in the division's second UCLA. Forrest Twogood has at last instilled some life in the Trojans. Whether he's done it by shaming them is not known, but the SC team which trounced Stanford twice this past weekend bore no resemblance whatsoever to the sloppy, sluggish outfit we saw blow the duke twice to UCLA. The latter exhibition was that of probably the worst college team we have even seen play, and that takes in quite a few of them. Each team has seemed to come up with a sensational freshman this year, taking full advantage of the lifting of the first-year ban. Stanford has presented Tomsic, who is already being hailed as another Hank Lutsetti. UCLA has shown its agile center John Moore and its gifted forward wonder, Don Bragg. Cal has brought forth McKeen. SC has its man in Chuck-Relly, who all but ran and shot the Redskins out of the Pan-Pacific last weekend. Despite the schedule now favoring them, we no longer think Stanford will emerge at the head of the class. Not the Tribal unit we saw play this last weekend. Here we think is a good example of a quintet which has laid too much stress on offense. Ramstead is still the best man Although the California athletic commission has down on various forms of tiling mayhem—hair pullig gouging; and, has even band Black Panther's head-butt Mr. Moto will be allowed his dreaded sleeper hold night at the Orange Countyletic club. Mr. Moto meets Carlos Cainmaster from Mexico. They were to have wrestle week but the card was because of inclement weather uncertain highway travel. Last week it was the day of OCAC officials that the anese Sleeper" would come der the ban, but Mr. Moto after has used it, apparently sanction of the commission. Banning of the Black Panther head-butt may handicap them in his three fall semi-finals at the Turk, All Pasha. He if the latter gets away with cobra hold, the Toledo, O'butting expert may use his punisher in defiance of coision orders. Like many "Panther" believes that one is as legal as the other. Pat Fraley meets Jesse and Dennis Clary, one time er of the "Mr. California" opposes Cry-Baby Corby in matches. Loyola Gridder Plan to Enroll In Other School Cal, like UCLA, is well nigh unbeatable in its own gym if it has a halfway good team. This year the Bears have lost their only foreign-court encounter, to Stanford at Palo Alto. Their only other loss was to SC by a mere one point at Berkeley. The shoe may be worn on the other hoof in the division's second round beginning the second week in February. California might then find the fun is over, because they must play five of their six games away from the friendly Berkeley confines. It will be interesting to see the Bears when they make their first Southland appearance next month. On the other hand, Stanford will play five or six at home and UCLA will be host at Westwood four times. So it may not be too late for the currently forlorn Indians. Although possessing four of the best men in the circuit in Ed Tucker, Jim Ramstead, Jim Walsh, and Ron Tomsic, and possibly the best shot of all in the amazing freshman Tomsic, the Indians have been badly outplayed in their last three forays. To begin with, they met the wrong team at the wrong time.

Gazette SPORT Colonist Baseball Schedule Revealed By Coach John Wallin - 24 Contests An attractive 24-game baseball schedule for the Anaheim Colonists has been drawn up for the coming season which is due to get underway March 4, with the locals playing host to Covina. Home and home games have been scheduled with Long Beach Poly, Long Beach Wilson, Long Beach Jordan, Corona and Excelior with single games being conducted with the Colts from Covina, Valencia and Bellflower plus the Sunset League opposition as well as teams in the Pomona tourney which will be held in April. Anaheim will play 13 of the 24 games away from home and possibly more than that if they continue winning games in the Pomona tourney. They meet defending league champs, Santa Ana, in their league opener on the local La Palma park diamond then play their next two games at the same place with Fullerton and Huntington Beach. Coach John Wallin has one of the better Anaheim teams to work with this year with prospects running high of finishing the loop race in one of the top three positions, a far cry from their last place tie with Huntington Beach last season. Anaheim played 22 games last year and could win only four—two in practice from Long Beach Wilson and Bellflower and two in loop play from Orange and Huntington Beach. Only two players are not returning from that team, Enoch Peterson and Gary Wells, both outfielders but back for action will be 10 varsity lettermen plus a lot of help from the junior varsity. Back for action this year are first basemen, Carl Hatfield who was selected on the All-league second team and was voted the most valuable player on heim team by his team well as leading the team with a husky batting average of .345 in loop games. Den will also be going out for base position. Other infielders return George Bishop, Gayle Herrera, Dick Gonzalez Masterson, Ben Mattot aers Val Wiethorn and mella. Outfielders are Jim John Steinborn and eit mella or Wiethorn. But with the good look of top notch fly chasers up from the junior varsity American Legion competitors outfielders will certainly keep hustling to keep them. David Moody, Joe Ch Roberts and Dean Philpot the big gunners vicing tions on the varsity, plus man ace, Lupe Gonzales, ped all Legion stickers .400 batting mark. Joe Walcott, Who Took 21 Years to Win Title, May Lose It in 15 Days NEW YORK (AP) — Jersey Joe statement "part of a squeeze play." Joe Walcott, Who Took 21 Years to Win Title, May Lose It in 15 Days NEW YORK (P)— Jersey Joe Walcott, who took 21 years to win the world heavyweight title, may lose it in 15 days—in New York state. The crown, donned by the 38-year old Camden, N. J., Negro when he knocked out Ezzard Charles in Pittsburgh last July 18, will be without a wearer in New York state unless Jersey Joe agrees within 15 days to meet a legitimate contender. The edict was issued yesterday by Chairman Bob Christenberry of the New York State Athletic Commission after conferring with C.B. Powell, another member of the three-man commission. Christenberry said Walcott had failed to defend his title within six months as required by commission rules. The Louisiana commission has withdrawn recognition from Walcott as champion. But so far the National Boxing association has declined to go along with New York and Louisiana. Commissioner Abe J. Greene pointed out Walcott's six-month period does not end in NBA territory until March 14 since the rule was only adopted last Sept. 12. Greene said the executive committee might waive the six month rule in Walcott's case if it was presented with good enough reasons. In Philadelphia, Commissioner John (Ox) Dragosa of the Pennsylvania commission said he favored giving the aging fighter more time. Felix Bocchicchio, manager of Jersey Joe, called Christenberry's help from the junior varsity. Back for action this year are first basemen, Carl Hatfield who was selected on the All-league second team and was voted the Baseball Schedule.

BEE HOOPSTERS ONE OF TOP CAGE TEAMS TO COME OUT OF ANAHEIM Entering today's game with Orange which was played in the Anaheim gym at 4 p.m., the Colonist Bee team was tied for first spot in the Bee standings with Newport Harbor and Huntington Beach who were meeting each other. Anaheim who has a season record of 11 victories and only three defeats to their record have one of the best all-around cage teams ever assembled on a high school court for many a year here in Anaheim. They not only are averaging almost 50 points (49.5) per game, but they possess a standout defensive outfit which is holding the loop opponents to an average of 87.8 points per contest. The locals lost their league opener to Santa Ana, 39-36, but Vanderbilt, Jockey Find Fault With Plush Santa Anita ARCADIA: (F)—The officiating at Santa Anita race track has come under the criticism of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, head of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, Inc., and Ted Atkinson, one of the nation's top jockeys. Vanderbilt said Santa Anita's plush layout is genetically too much to speed and not enough to safety for the thoroughbreds and that stewards are lax in enforcement of racing rules. "I would like to see Santa Anita then turned on their power to roll over Huntington Beach 45-32 and Fullerton 45-36 and just last Friday they set back the ex-loop leaders, Newport Harbor 70-43." Leading the point makers in loop play for Anaheim is Paul Salazar who is averaging 11.2 points a game.

Ferrier, of San Francisco, had two-stroke lead as he set out at the final round of the 36-hole journey. He had nine birdies, eight pars and one bogey and tied the competitive course record set last year by club president Johnny Dawson. Skee Riegel finished with a 66 while 67s were turned in by Cary Middlecoff and Johnny Palmer. Lloyd Mangrum of Los Angeles, Dutch Harrison and Pele Fleming had 68s. Ted Kroll, winner of the San Diego tourney, took a 71. Top money goes to the pro who was the best 36-hole score with the assistance of his amateur partners. Harrison was leading. Hisimon-pure assistants added to the extent that their best ball card come under the criticism of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, head of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, Ine., and Ted Atkinson, one of the nation’s top jockeys. Vanderbilt said Santa Anita’s plush layout is geared too much to speed and not enough to safety for the thoroughbreds and that stewards are lax in enforcement of racing rules. “I would like to see Santa Anita care less how fast horses run and more about how long they run,” Vanderbilt told a sports writers’ luncheon yesterday. “I don’t see how the stewards can see anything from their stand, which is at ground level. At other tracks the stewards are at an elevation and get a much better perspective. “But I don’t feel the stewards are strict enough. In New York, a foul is a foul, and the jockey is punished for it. In California, the officials try to decide if the foul had any effect on the outcome of the race, and if they decide it didn’t they’ll not take action.” Jockey Atkinson joined Vanderbilt in urging closer policing of the races. He said he favors strict penalties and rigid enforcement “for it makes for good riding.” Atkinson said most jockeys will take their “best shot” during a race “if they think they can get away with it.” Dr. Charles H. Strub, executive vice-president of Santa Anita, said the stewards “need no defense” and that the Los Angeles Truf club has spent thousands of dollars to make Santa Anita “the safest racing strip in the world, and I’m sure that the majority of race owners agree with me that it is.” CHICAGO (AP)—Nine top farm hands of the Chicago White Sox have been invited to spring practices opening Feb. 20 at El Centro, General Manager Frank Lane announced today.
