Oilers Arrive For Scanning Sports By STEAN PINER Anaheim Coliseum captains enter the Beverly Hills tourney Friday afternoon at 2 against Rekindle of the Big League. Rekindle has a long win-loss record to date of 3-1 which puts them in second spot behind leader, Inglewood. The journey is a single elimination affair, but if the local captains should get past the Rekindle-Sun Hawaii they would run into the tournament favorite who is undecided this year—Campton. Campton won the Beverly Hills tourney last year as well as the CIF championship and they seem headed to another tourney and CIF title. Bob Hopkins, who set a Smart league starting mark several years ago for the Santa Ana Saints, is carrying on in the same winning manner for the Panadena Naugatone college cap team. Just last night he scored 20 points to set a school record as well as a court record. The game was played in San Luis Obispo gym with the Panadena team pawning over Cal Poly 63-54. The 51 points was also a school record, as well as a court record. Several of Coach Alex Omuller's top-match captains, who are members of the Fallerton Hornet team that is leading the Eastern Conference hop race, are questioned in Anaheim for the Recreation department under the direction of Dan Derrz. At Jefferson is Walter "Pinky" Thompson; Ben Franklin, Jerry Philip; both first stringers who came to the Hornet's next from Michigan where they were both outstanding players. The U.S. Marines reported that no patrol employing dogs was ambushed in the Pacific war. Huntington Beach season, seems drowsy what with them and Hills tourny which their streak of 15 before the Oilers ever. Anaheim's Coliseum goes at the tall Oilers tonight Anaheim high school going at 4, and they could pull the speed of the looping the high-flying Guadalupe Huntington Beach. The two teams have in the first round of the League competition, and they won one on their own 61-38, but the Coliseum without their top point Bill Atkes. Atkes plays game, but in a very wily He did attempt seven the basket and one from throw line, but couldn't on any of them. But he is back in the race and ready and eager the Oilers in his own hand give a helping hand defensit of the not-so-dull Oilers. In the first game but... Ever go "over the side"? It won't easy with the roll of the transport and the clammy way of your heavy full field pack. And, at the foot of the landing set, the risky drop into the cold, crowded landing craft bobbing in the choppy sea. Then, finally there's the tense, terrible run toward an angry beach and a destiny you cannot even guess. It's all very serious and dangerous and hard. Yet thousands of American youngsters have done it—and are ready to do it again, if need be, in defense of our country and you.

Anaheim's Colonists got a crack at the tall Offens tonight in the Anaheim high school gym, starting at 4, and they could very well pull the speed of the loop by halting the high-flying Giants from Huntington Beach. The two teams have met once in the first round of the San Antonio League competition, and the Ollers won that one on their own court, 61-38, but the Colonists were without their top point maker, Bill Ames. Ames played in the game, but in a very weak state. He did attempt seven shots at the basket and one from the free throw line, but couldn't connect on any of them. But he is back in the old rat race and ready and eager to meet the Ollers in his own backyard and give a helping hand to the defender of the not-so-dangerous Ollers. In the first game between the Anaheim Colonists and Huntington Beach, league victory of the year and knock Anaheim out of their third place tie with Fullerton. Anaheim had a very poor three round league games as well as during the season. Orange had a better percentage than the Colonists as did the Newport Harbor Sailors. Fullerton Indiana and the Santa Ana Saints in the first round. Looking at the point records of Ira Webber and Johnny Steinbrenn during the league race, one might tend to think that tonight is the night for one or both of them to go on a scoring spree, that is, if past records have anything to do with it. In the first loop game with Santa Ana, Webber did right well as he guarded 12 points while Steinborn could only hit for seven. In the next game, Huntington Beach put the show in that rite to improve. So do others which wili make Counterpoint clippings.

Wildcats on Top in Weekly AP Cage Presence of Counterpoint Fight Competition from Maturity Safety ARCADIA — Counterpoint has frightened off some of the competition, so there may be a starting field of only seven Saturday in the rich Santa Ana Maturity. The purse, as a consequence, may drop from the record $265,700 last year to $169,750, unless some surprise supplementary nominations are spotted today. Counterpoint, horse of the year in 1951 and winner of the $25,600 San Fernando Handicap Jan. 19 in his 1962 debut, appears to be coming up to a smashing race. He did some looting in the early part of his last winning race. But he will be adding several more points for this mile and one-fourth test, and even with a small field. Counterpoint is going to have his work cut out. Phil D., which is snipped at the wire in the San Prynanda, is a tough campaigner. Intent, which got the show in that it to improve.

Wildcats on Top in Weekly AP Cage Poll; K-Staters Jump to Second NEW YORK (AP) — Kentucky entered into the No. 1 spot in the weekly Associated Press basketball poll today—but 91 Wildcats only narrow margins over national State and Illinois. Blue Devils quarterfinals 730 points to for Kansas State and 745 for place Illinois. These three are far out front. Fourth-place was had 122 points and fifth-place St. Bonaventure, one of the major undefeated teams left, 457. Kentucky, which was no top in of the first three polls of the season, lured 22 first-place votes in the nation's sports writers' sports caster. Each first-place vote counted 10 points, second-place nine, and so on down line. Bounding out the first 16, in were St. Louis, Duquesne other undefeated team with 1-0 mark), Iowa, Washington West Virginia. The most impressive jump was by Kansas State, which was with a week ago. The K-Staters day hung the first defeat of season on Kansas, which had in the No. 1 or 2 spot for straight weeks. The Jayacks, incidentally, got only one place vote. The first 10 took a real scrambling. In fact, the only school to hold the same split it held a week ago was St. Bonaventure, No. 5. Illinois, on top of the heap last week, also tasted its first defeat Saturday. Duquesne, which jumped from the No. 10 position, made its record 12-0 last night by whipping Villanova, 83-61. The Illini (12-1) grounded Pumine, 84-67, and Kentucky (15-2) defeated Vanderbilt, 88-51, in the only games involving first 10 teams.

PATTERSON, N. J., OPINION National Boxing Association night applauded Bob berry, chairman of the New State Athletic Commission bearing down on Jersey coft and once again inviting York to work with the M Bronx Buil Drope Decision in Boston BOSTON (AP)—Knockin'ings by champion Sugar Hinson and Irish Bob Munroe pear to have taken a high Jake La Motta, boxing's Bull of the Bronx. After a five-month lay-ex-middleweight titlist to the ring wrestl last night dropped a 10-round division to Norman Hayes, a 20-year-old Negra battles has-championship ambition. Jake, 30, appeared heavy-footed at 160% pound punched with all his oldtime less abandon but, against who proved extremely easy Jake's blow seemed to lace La Motta, a 1-2 favorite a 6% pounds pull, lumbers Hayes throughout. Hayes recent conquer Prance's Robert Villemain two minutes of each of nine rounds counter-attack the third slugging toe-to-toe Tonight With Anaheim Bee Cagers in Crucial Game Tonight With Huntington In Anaheim Gym at 6:45 If Anaheim expects to repeat as Sunset league Bee basketball champion they will have to win the game tonight in the local high school gym against Huntington Beach, the team they are tied with in the league race with identical loop win-loss records—5-1. In the first round of competition Anaheim met and defeated the taller Oilers on the hour's final 65-32 in very convincing manner, but with Anaheim falling to the Saints from Santa Ana in the first round and having to go all out to win against just last week, the Oilers-Colonists outcome leaves one in doubt. In the first game both Huntington and Anaheim were tied up at the end of the first quarter, 6-6, but with George Bishop, Fred Frank and Paul Salazar each scoring four points in the second period, the locals jumped out a 22-10 half time lead. Anaheim attempted 81 shots from the court and connected on only 19 of them for a field goal percentage mark of 31.1 which is slightly below par, which is 33.3 On the other hand, Huntington Beach attempted a mere 39 shots the entire game and could only 47.5 points a game while holding their opposition in loop games to an average per contest of $5.6; however, the Oilers are doing just a little better in each department. The Oilers are averaging 48.6 points a game while limiting their foe to an average of 32.3 points. Anaheim scored the highest number of points in one game—70 against Newport Harbor while the Interpoint Frightens in Maturity Saturday got the show in that rate, figures to improve. So do some of the others which will be trying to make Counterpoint eat his press clippings. The other certain starters are Black Douglas, Interpretation, Lien and To Market. Interpretation was cut out to be a great race horse, but bad underpinning has set him back from time to time. At his best he is really a threat. He ran a mile at Hollywood last summer in 1:25 2/5. He won four of six races last year and finished second in the other two. To Market has been regarded as a spinner. But he has been so sharp here W. J. Hirsch believes he can carry his speed for all or part of the pot. To Market run down Bryan G in the stretch in winning the San Carlos Handicap at seven furlongs. Action from Athletic N. Y. About Bouts I promised God if he saw fit to make me a champion I'd work with kids. "I have six kids of my own. I came from a family of 10 children. I know the temptations kids have. If more guys were willing to take time out and not think about themselves this country would be better. But everyone is too greedy." "I'm satisfied if I never fight again. I haven't been able to spend four consecutive hours at home with my family because I've been going places trying to help people. If they are going to persecute me for that then I'm satisfied. If that's what they call putting the title in a freeze then it's in a freeze." Anaheim attempted 81 shots from the court and connected on only 19 of them for a field goal percentage mark of 31.1 which is slightly below par, which is 33.3 On the other hand, Huntington Beach attempted a mere 39 shots the entire game and could only make 18 which gave them a very low mark of 25.6 on their field goal attempts. On free throws attempted by Anaheim they made only seven out of the 19 attempted while Huntington Beach hit for 12 of 24 for a near percentage mark of 30.0 while the Anaheim mark was a lowly 26.8. Field goal percentage marks by quarters for Anaheim were 18.8, 26.8, 33.5 and 30.8 while the Oilers had marks of 10.0, 12.5, 63.6 and 10.0. Then too, the highest point total piled up by an Oiler was nine League Records HUNTINGTON BEE Pulverton Anaheim Orange Santa Ana Newport Pulverton ANAHEIM BEE Santa Ana Huntington Pulverton Newport Orange Santa Ana Ty Cobb Clouts Verbal Home Run MENLO PARK, Calif. UP—Tyrus Raymond Cobb, fiery old time star of the diamond, stepped up to the plate today to clout a verbal home run in favor of Negroes in baseball. Himself a native of the deep south, Cobb voiced approval of the recent decision of the Dallas club to use Negro players if they came up to Texas league caliber. The old Georgia Poach of De 47.5 points a game while holding their opposition in loop games to an average per contest of 35.6; however, the Oilers are doing just a little better in each department. The Oilers are averaging 48.6 points a game while limiting their foe to an average of 32.3 points. Anaheim scored the highest number of points in one game—70 against Newport Harbor while the Oilers held their opposition to the lowest number with 19 which was scored by Fullerton. Anaheim's offensive attack is really not situated in one department, but rather from five and possibly six sections of the Anaheim bench. Leading the offensive attack are Frank Navarro, Fred Frank, George Bishop, Bob Stewart and Paul Salazar with Val Weithorn coming into his own of late. Salazar tops the scorers with 56 points for an average in loop games of 9.3. Stewart has 46 points and a 7.6 average; Bishop has 45 points for a 7.5 average; Navarro, 39 with a 6.5 average and Frank 38 points and a 6.3 average. Weithorn playing in only four games has scored 21 points for an average of 5.2. Anaheim, as a team, has attempted 375 shots at the basket, making 116 for a percentage mark of 30.9 while their opposition have attempted 275, making 75 for a below par mark of 27.3. But one can and probably will throw all the statistics out when these two teams go into battle tonight in the Anaheim gym in their 6:45 feature. For the winner will be an open door to the league title while the loser can only hope for the runner-up spot. Game time—6:45 tonight.

J. — The National Boxing Association last night applauded Bob Christenberry, chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, for bearing down on Jersey Joe Walcott and once again invited New York to work with the NBA. Bronx Buil Drops Decision in Boston BOSTON — Knockout beatings by champion Sugar Ray Robinson and Irish Bob Murphy appear to have taken a high toll on Lake La Motta, boxing's famed Bull of the Bronx. After a five-months' layoff, that six-middleweight titlist returned to the ring wrestl last night and stopped a 10-round divided decision to Norman Hayes. Boston's 3-year-old Negro battler who was championship ambitions. Jake, 30, appeared fat and heavy-footed at 169% pounds. He unchested with all his oldtime reckless abandon but, against Hayes, who proved extremely easy to hit, Lake's blow seemed to lack angel. Lake Motta, a 1-2 favorite with 6% pounds pull, lumbered after layes throughout. Hayes, recent conqueror of Franor's Robert Villemain, spent two minutes of each of the first nine rounds counter-attacking and the third slugging toe-to-toe. MENLO PARK, Calif. (UP) — Tyrus Raymond Cobb, fiery old time star of the diamond, stepped up to the plate today to clout a verbal home run in favor of Negroes in baseball. Himself a native of the deep south, Cobb voiced approval of the recent decision of the Dallas club to use Negro players if they came up to Texas league caliber. The old Georgia Peach of Detroit Tigers fame was a fighter from the word go during his brilliant playing career. He neither asked nor gave quarter in 24 tumultuous years in the American league. Time has mellowed the one time firebrand and he views the sport in the pleasant role of country squire. He spoke emphatically on the subject of Negros in baseball however. "Certainly it is O.K. for them to play," he said. "I see no reason in the world why we shouldn't compete with colored athletes as long as they conduct themselves with politeness and gentility."
