John Wallin, head baseball coach at Anaheim high, has lined up a very attractive schedule this coming season which should give his players some real competition and experience for their drive toward the upper division in the Sunset League race. They tied for last in 1951 with Huntington Beach. Sam Keith, head track coach at the local high school, has really been getting quite a laugh from reading some of the reports floating around the country about the "new" spread-formation in football. This last year Dutch Meyer of Texas Christian university led his Horned Frogs to the Southwest title with the now famed "Meyer Spread." This spread has the ends 15 yards out with a half-back on each side between the end and tackle and the fullback on one side or the other. It's great for angle blocking, great for running and great for passing. Green Bay's professional football team used the formation this past season with Tohin Rote in the tailback spot and almost best the world champs—Los Angeles' Rams. Dutch Meyer has Ray McKowen as his tailback. But Keith remembers learning this formation back in college many years ago. He even put the formation in use here in Anaheim with little, but smart and shifty Jimmy Heffron in the tailback spot and the team bowled over just about everybody in sight. The formation isn't new—it's just the idea about the formation which is new. Most coaches, fans and players save a few, thought the formation didn't offer the tailback enough protection for passing and running, and was too difficult to learn to block from. But the problem is now how to defend against it. More teams are going to start using this formation. It's going to be as popular as the T-formation was just after the war. The time has gone when a quarterback just passes, and does very little running.

Bill Ames, who went wild in the Santa Ana game by scoring 19 points just wasn't the same Ames these past few days and as a result the locals just couldn't seem to score enough points to beat our Huntington Beach, Fullerton and Newport Harbor. But Ames played like the Ames of old yesterday after his tough seige with the Fli big and pulled the Colonists back into the win column where many thought they would never tread again this year. Ira Webber and Johnny Steinborn, each scoring 12 points were instrumental in the Colonist victory, not only for their points, which were certainly wonderful presents to the packed stands of loyal rooters, but for their defensive play as well. Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke started his tall timber. points which was all the Anaheim scoring in the first period. Steinborn scored 10 points in the second frame to aid the local attack to pull away to a 23-21 lead at the end of the half, plus the points of forward Gayle Herbel, Ames, Webber and Dave Moody who played one of his greatest games on defense. He not only excelled off the boards, but he managed to score eight points in attempting seven field goals, making four. Anaheim attempted 61 shots at the basket and made good on 23 of them for a percentage mark of 37.7 while the Panthers attempted 56 and connected 17 times for a percentage mark of 30.4. In the second quarter Anaheim attempted 16 shots and made half of them, four by Steinborn, two by Moody and one each by Webber and Herbel. But that wasn't their best period. They hit a percentage of 64.3 in the third attempting 14 shots and scoring nine times. Anaheim, using the close guarding man-to-man defense, kept the usually high-scoring Panthers back from their usual stomping grounds and as a result held their ace scorer down to a mere six points—after Smith has been averaging close to 17 in loop play. Anaheim Cees In Cage Win Over Panthers Yesterday afternoon in the Orange high school gym, the Anaheim Cee basketball team remained in a tie for first place with Huntington Beach as a result of both teams winning—Anaheim over the Panthers 42-24 and Huntington Beach over Newport 41-13. Both teams now have win-loss records in loop play of 4-1 with Pullerton's Indians right on their trail with a record of 3-1. They have yet to play Orange in the first round which concluded yesterday. Anaheim led at the end of the first quarter, 19-6 which at that time left no doubt as to which team on the court was going to capture the Sunset league contest. Gabriel Mata topped all Colonist scorers with his 14 points, but it was Henry Herrera and Dan Salaets who were the leaders in the defensive department with their top-notch rebounding and Jimmy Ball First Baptist To 47-20 W Led by Jimmy Ball the First Baptist Chr team emerged vigorously Grace Lutheran last in a game played high.

Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke started his tail timber—Harold and Gerald Rees, Hart Hessel, Jim Holve and his little shrub, Len Kolb, but they just couldn’t cope with the Panthers. Dick Smith started the scoring race with two easy points taken on a pass from guard Dick Cruz, but Leeward Kohl quickly tied up the game with a 10-foot set shot with only 58 seconds into the game. But from there on, until the first unit of Anaheim came into action, the game was all Orange offense and Anaheim missteps. When the tally reached eight points for the visitors and still just two for Anaheim, the reserves came out and immediately times got his mitts on the ball and passed it to Steinborn who drove into the basket for two Bees Pounce Upon Panthers for 44-26 League Victory; Share First Spot with Huntington 5 With Indian chief Frankie Narro on the warpath for a Panther yesterday afternoon, his hole tribe of teammates found their liking and pounced upon them for a decisive 44-26 Sunset League basketball victory played the Anaheim gym.

Anaheim led at the end of the first quarter, 19-6 which at that time left no doubt as to which team on the court was going to capture the Sunset league contest. Gabriel Mata topped all Colonist scorers with his 14 points, but it was Henry Herrera and Dan Salaets who were the leaders in the defensive department with their top-notch rebounding and close guarding. Friday afternoon Anaheim will start the second round of competition against Sania Ana, the team they beat in the first round 39-12. Ritz Cleaners Score 94-44 City Loop Win Playing along in a nice, even, cool manner for one quarter, the first, cagers playing for Ritz Cleaners went completely berserk last night in the Anaheim gym to roll up a 94-44 city league victory over Kwiket Hornets. Score at the end of the first period was 14-14, but by half time the tempo of the Cleaners had picked up as they totaled 35 at the end of the first half while holding Kwiket to a mere 18. Then in the second half, the basketball game looked more like an outfit warming up for the mile run or maybe the Olympic track tryouts as they sprinted up and down the court scoring almost three points a minute. Eddie Stringer topped all scorers with his 30 while his team mate, Gil Range, potted 28, which were high point outputs for this year, although the city league record for points scored in one game half.

Hot Car Set for World Speed Mark There'll be a rugged welcome committee waiting for Leo Breitbaupt Sunday afternoon at Gardena's Carrell Speedway, it appeared today. Briethaupt, the Long Beach driver who learned his tricks in the jalopy ranks, graduates into the CRA hotrods for the opening race of the roadster season Sunday at 2:30. And while Leo is a veteran in the clunker class, the CRA boys will be out to show that he's a freshman in the faster cars. The newcomer could surprise them all, however. Word comes from the pits that Leo's "ride," one of three brand new cars entered, is one of the hottest jobs ever turned out. In fact the car is being pointed toward a shot at the world roadster mark of 160 mph, set last fall at Bonneville by Colby Scroggins. Huntington in City League Victory, 69-50 Huntington Beach's city league basketball team kept in the running for the championship with their 69-50 victory over Bob Williams' five last night in the Anaheim gym. Four of the first five got into the two digit numbers with Jimmy Tucker topping all with his 19 points. Frank Clarelli potted ever turned out.

Anaheim’s Cross Country Team in Loop Opener with Oilers Thursday Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 coach Sam Keith will take his cross country team to Huntington Beach for their first loop encounter of the year as a result of their Santa Ana meet being rained out last week. They will meet the Saints later in the season. The runners will travel over a distance of a mile and six to eight tenths which has been laid over hill and dale near the Huntington Beach high school where the race will start and end. Scheduled to carry the brunt of the Anaheim attack is ace distance star, Dick Reed, who last year ran the class Bee 1320 yard run. He finished the league finals in third spot, but under the guidance of Keith, he has gained loads of experience enough to carry him to the front. Reed is only a junior this year and much more of the ex-Bee track team captain will be seen in the future. During the coming track season he will probably stick to the mile run which will be just slightly shorter than the distance he will run in cross country com- Anaheim Dees Win Over Orange 30-17; Tars Lead Escaping the league cellar by virtue of their 30-17 victory over Orange's Dee basketball team, the Anaheim Dee team now is in fourth spot in the league race as a result of their win yesterday at Orange. Other Anaheim runners that will be pressing all the way for top positions will be Bruce Horner, transfer from Chicago, Ill., but he had a rough seige with the flu bug these past few days and will probably not be in the best of shape. Horner will also try the mile when track season rolls around. Erdland Eberhard, who ran the 1320 yard run last year, could finish high, but he too has had a tough battle with the flu and he won't be in the best of shape as is the case with several other leather-lungers such as Cecil Veyna and Don Davis. Davis was the league champion last year in the class Bee 660 yard run with the speedy time of 1:28.6, but he will probably stick to the 680 yard ramble this season, although he might try his hand at the 440 yard dash along with Don Switzer who is also up from the Bees. Sam Ázzara has been looking very good in practice these past few days and he could possibly give Reed some stiff competition. Azzara will stick to the 880 in track season where he can ramble very easily under 2:15. Ray Bokelman is another of Keith's lads and he has shown a lot of promise in the longer distance of late. He ran the Bee 660 and 1320 last year. Running on the junior varsity team will be Salvador De Leon, Switzer, Sato Muro and Dean Youngkeit who is out for his first year on the track team. He is a quarter-miler, but with little U.S. Ski Officials Give American Rough Moments NEW YORK (P) — The U.S. Olympic ski committee is drafting a letter of apology to Mrs. Suzy Harris Rytting who was sent home from Grindewald, Switzerland, last week because she is pregnant. Mrs. Rytting is regarded as the beauty queen of the U.S. Women's Olympic ski team. Courtney T. Hill, chairman of the committee, termed the incident "regrettable" in announcing that the letter of apology will be sent to Mrs. Rytting at her home in Salt Lake City. Hill, in New York en route to Europe, said he would look into the matter further when he arrives overseas. He added that Mrs. Rytting's Olympic uniforms would be returned to her. "I don't know why they were taken," he said. In Salt Lake City Mrs. Rytting said she came home "almost in disgrace because the committee was afraid someone would learn of my condition and raise a fuss." "I don't mind missing the Olympics too much," she told John Mooney, sports editor of the Salt Lake Tribune, "but I certainly think I was treated rather shabbily." "I wouldn't have minded being sent home, even though doctors in Europe and in Salt Lake City said I could have skied. But I think I should have been sent home and treated as if I'd have been a skier who had broken a leg in practice." Mrs. Rytting said that she had scored subs: Zion—Johnson 2, St. Boniface—Van Bereketer 4, Brunet 1. Win Over Orange 30-17; Tars Lead Escaping the league cellar by virtue of their 30-17 victory over Orange's Dee basketball team, the Anaheim Dee team now is in fourth spot in the league race as a result of their win yesterday at Orange. The game concluded the finish of the first round of play in the Sunset League which saw the Newport Harbor Tars go undefeated in their five games, although they were hard pressed to escape defeat yesterday when the Huntington Beach Offers scored 29 points although the eventual winners pocketed 31. In the other loop game yesterday, Santa Ana's Dee team captured their first victory of the season with their 16-41 win over Fullerton's Tribe who now has a win-loss record in loop of 2-2. Teammates Joel Habener and John Lin waged a terrific scoring duel with Lin edging Habener by one, 11-10. Only two other Anaheimers got into the scoring act, Phil Otto with five and Dick Jepson with four. Anaheim led at the end of the first quarter, 6-2, but faltered in the next period, although they retained their lead, 14-13. Score at the end of the third period was 21-13. Anaheim out in front to stay for the rest of the game. Government officials estimate that sulphur demand in the Western world is running about one million long tons a year ahead of production. "I wouldn't have minded being sent home, even though doctors in Europe and in Salt Lake City said I could have skied. But I think I should have been sent home and treated as if I'd have been a skier who had broken a leg in practice." Mrs. Rytting said that she had asked to remain in Europe until her mother or her husband, Bill, would have joined her and accompanied her home, but was told by American teams officials she had no leave immediately. "In fact," she said in a story issued under her byline, "They tell you that if you don't go home right then, they'll pick up your ticket and you'll have to pay your way." "You're scared. You haven't none to turn to. They even tell you to give up your Olympic uniform because there was no provision made for a uniform for any substitutes on the squad." Mrs. Rytting, who also was a member of the women's 1948 Olympic team, qualified for the 152 team at the Sun Valley, Idaho, competition in March a year ago. In 1950 she was second in the National downhill race. As did Norm Worthy while Richard Thornton scored 14. High for the losers and for the time was Bert Bonner with his points. Williams (50) H.
