2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Scanning Sports BY STAN JONES Over in Fullerton certain stout-hearted baseball fans are betting that the Fullerton high school team will not lose a game this season and especially in loop play. Fullerton's Indians are entered in the tough Pomona 20-30 tourney which Santa Ana won last year and the following week they travel to San Diego to compete in that tough tourney. Fans in Fullerton figure that with all that tough competition and what with their well-rounded squad they just can't see where the Braves will lose. But one may recall what they thought about their "great" football team of the past season. Head swimming coach at Anaheim high, right now, is Al Clayes, the all-league football guard who is a very speedy sprint freestyle. He is really cracking the whip over his teammates in the hopes of dueling the high-powered Huntington team this season. Finals are to be held in the Otter's elongated 35-yard pool. One look at the La Palma park dressing rooms and shower rooms, the Mr. and Mrs.. Fred Haney's immediately wondered what a nice paint job would do, to the place. Vic Ruedy got started on the job right away, Mrs. Haney spends just about as much time in the clubhouse as the equipment manager since she is the equipment manager, on a part-time basis. A change in coaching jobs seems to be brewing at Anaheim high. Chire Van Hoorebeke could possibly end up coaching the Anaheim junior varsity baseball team with Bill Hunstock taking over the duties of swimming coach, after Clayes gets through with the seadogs. Van Hoorebeke would run into his old friend and American Legion enemy, Buckey Walters, who anchored the Fullerton league outfit who is planning to coach the Fullerton SV's.

Newport and Anaheim have met force this season—once in the Oilers journey in Dec., which Anaheim won by one point 42-41 and then in the first round of competition on the Anaheim floor where the Tars won 39-32.

Both teams have one of their stars back, but both are just about through shining their lights. The loop's leading scorer of last season, Armand Nettles of Newport hasn't come near his outstanding ability of last year and the same is the case with Anaheim's Ira Webber. But it may not be them who have quit shining — it could be their teammates. Both played on outstanding teams last season and both teams lost outstanding players — Newport losing Dave Peterson, Dick Lane and Glenn Griffith while Anaheim lost Dennis Denny, Sheldon Welch and Ron Paulknet. Newport still has hopes of tying for the loop title and they could by beating the Oilers on the Huntington gym next week, but first they would have to beat Anaheim tonight and they won't be taking the game too lightly. Anaheim ended their two game losing streak last week by edging Pullerton's Indians on the Anaheim court, 45-43, and could by that game have set a pattern that could continue till the end of the season.

Windy City is the leading threat for the derby here and the stable plans to ship him to Louisville for the Blue Ribbon Derby there. Also slated to hook up with Windy are Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Whither and several other youngsters. Padre Pitcher Wants at Least Seven Victories LONG BEACH UP — Pilcher Jack Salveson, who begins his 20th season in professional baseball this year, will be aiming for seven victories—and then some. Salveson of the San Diego Padres, has won 193 games. He wants to hit the 200-mark in 1952. "But I won't be satisified with stopping at seven wins," the big righthander explained. His 192 triumphs make him the winningest pitcher still active in the Pacific Coast League. Salveson, who is a bit older than the 35 he humorously reports, listed 10 PCL hurlers who achieved the 200-plus mark. They are Frank Shellenbach, Spider Baum, Harry Krause, Dick Barrett, Otis Crandall, Tony Freitas, Sam Gibson, Herman Pillette, Jack Henley and Rudy Kallio. Salveson, who has seen major league duty with the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and the New York Giants, won 15 and lost 10 with Hollywood last year. If You Drink! Don't Drive Newport's Stafford Still Unbeaten As Colonists Fall to Sailors Raymond Stafford, little Newport high runner, still is undefeated in Sunset league cross country competition and the way he won yesterday on his own course—it looks like he will remain that way for quite some time. With Stafford leading the way across the finish line on the Newport Harbor track the Sailors edged the Anaheim Colonist cross country team 24-31 and as a result now have a win-loss record in loop competition of 2-2, compared to Anaheim's record of 0-3. Coach Sam Keith was all smiles after the final runners crossed the finish line over the way most of his runners have improved in the past few weeks and seem to be rounding in shape for the coming track season. Dick Reed stayed right on the heels of the speedy Tars for most of the race and was only 15 yards behind Stafford as they hit the track for their final lap, but Stafford just pulled away to win by a margin of at least 100 yards in 9:02.3. Reed was awarded the time of 9:21. Turning in one of the most outstanding performances was Bruce Horner, transfer from Chicago, Ill. Horner jumped out to a brief lead place runner, Martinez that point in the race yards behind Reed who was just five yards below Stafford. With the final track Horner pulled ahead of tiring Martines, but he to tire as he was running back straightaway. Three Harbor runners came and started to pass him Coach Keith screaming Hornes put on a full-pot to breeze to an easy position. He crossed the yards ahead of the four runner, Martinez. Cecil Veyna for the straight meet, Fullerton first, finished the race spot, but yesterday he much more decisive fairing across the finish line ahead of his chief Sailor. Ray Bokleman came across the finish line in a 15 yard lead over his Bob Calvo who was given of 9:50. Calvo had to hus his Colonist teammate S who finished the mile tenths course in 9:54.

Huntington Beach breezed to an easy 12-10 victory over Puller on yesterday while Laguna Beach defeated Elsinore 29-21 in the other first round game played. Anaheim trailed all the way until the waning minutes when they pulled ahead 23-22 and with only 1½ minutes left in the game. They managed to control the ball for the next 60 seconds, but they fumbled away the ball and the enemy went down court and scored the winning basket. However, Anaheim had a chance to tie up the game when Jerry Schacht went to the free throw line with just seconds left in the game, but the ball just missed the basket and that's just what Anaheim did, missed victory by one point.

Tomorrow night, Stanford opens against the Broncs and USC battles San Francisco in the same arena. The Gaels will be out to avenge a 74-85 defeat by Stanford.

Starting the second time around the large open field Horner was in fourth spot 30 yards behind third Avery Brundage Reveals Plight Hundreds of Refugee Athletes OSLO UP — Avery Brundage revealed today he will bring before the International Olympic Committee the plight of hundreds of refugee athletes from iron curtain countries. "We certainly can't help them to compete in the winter games here and I doubt if we can do anything for them even in the summer games at Helsinki but the situation is a tragic one," said Brundage, a Chicago hotel man who is vice-president of the IOC. The winter games open here Feb. 14. The Olympic executive committee will meet in Oslo Monday and the full committee on the following two days. "Many fine athletes of Olympic caliber are banned from the games because they are refugees," said Brundage. "Under our rules if an athlete once competed for a certain country he never can compete for another even his homeland." Obviously no country point a refugee to its team so this class of shut out from world co The Olympic committeeern European refugees h as an organization for of such athletes.

The "barber" is known to have set $40,000 as his rock-bottom figure for the coming term, bosses regard $32,500 as a more than reasonable reward for its great 23-6 performance last season. He doesn't intend to report to the Phoenix training camp still, and unless he gets same. An important item in all such bary debates nowadays, incidentally, is the rule which forbids a bib to cut a playback more than 25 per cent. Says the Giants, a burst of generosity and because they couldn't get out of it take down and gave Sal the 40 hand. All right, they would oblige themselves to pay him at $30,000 in 1952 or turn him in, no matter how he fares in coming season. It wouldn't be prising if certain players are deriving from this rule. However, what brought on the final observation that Maglie become even more obdurate set of statistics in the Marchaber of Baseball Digest magazine. These figures, prepared by one with time to burn, show Sal was, if possible, even brilliant than he, himself, realized.

Tomorrow night, Stanford opens against the Broncs and USC battles San Francisco in the same arena. The Gaels will be out to avenge a 74-65 defeat by Stanford. The Bronces need a win to keep them in the race for member-at-large bid in the NCAA playoffs. Naumcheff Trial Goes to Jury Fate of Mitchy Naumcheff, former Arizona deputy sheriff, tried on a charge of grand theft for an alleged $200 loan fraud at the Bank of America in Anaheim and a $400 fraud committed against a Santa Ana bank, was in the hands of a jury in superior court at Santa Ana today.

Colleges Begin To Publish Athlete's Grades NEW YORK (AP)—The month-old new National Collegiate A.M., principle which requires athletes to "make satisfactory progress toward a degree" seems to be showing results. In the past week, as results of midyear examinations, at least 25 varsity athletes at major colleges have been dropped from school or declared ineligible for athletics because of scholastic deficiencies. The list probably is incomplete. Such procedure is normal when examination grades are posted. But the attendant publicity isn't normal. In past years the colleges were inclined to adopt a hush-hush attitude when an athlete failed in his studies. Only about a year ago it took several days for sports writers to confirm that Vic Janowicz, Ohio State's all-America football star, had flunked out. This year, possibly because of the NCAA academic principle or because the college presidents have demanded that athletes should also be students, the institutions are rushing into print with the news when a star football or basketball player becomes ineligible. And they're giving out the news in wholesale lots. Brown, for instance, came out last week with the word that Edward Sexton, center and captain-glect of the football team, and four hockey players had run afoul of academic deficiencies. Bee Cagers Travel to Newport to Clinch Loop Crown Tonight, 6:45 By winning tonight Anaheim's Bee basketball team can clinch at least a tie in their bid for the Sunset league basketball title of 1952 and by doing so would be taking a big step forward to making the top position for the past five seasons.

He scored 14 points in his second game of the year with all 14 coming in the second half and 12 of those coming in the final period. Newport Harbor is still in the running for the title and they have a wonderful chance, despite facing Anaheim who rolled over them by such a powerful score in the first round. Newport Harbor plays host to Anaheim tonight and then end their season at Huntington Beach next week. By taking those two contests they would take the title as well and as a result would shove Anaheim down into second spot and Huntington into third spot where the Sailors are curled. Salazar's 68.

Obviously no country will appoint a refugee to its Olympic team so this class of athlete is shut out from world competition. The Olympic committee of Eastern European refugees has applied as an organization for recognition of such athletes. Among the better known athletes who are refugees are, Jaroslav Drobny, Czechoslovakia tennis star and hockey player; Aja Vrzanova, Czech skater; Sander Szegedy, Hungarian swimmer, Cornzi Pajor, Hungarian speed skater; and Imre Rajczy and Imre Erdelyi, Hungarian Olympic fencing champions. "If any athlete never competed in the games and if he takes out new citizenship papers he can compete," said Brundage, "but many might object doing that."

That made a loud noise and a guard game running. He said one of his assistants had reported gun fire. Merkel doesn't know yet what the starlings' reaction is. TODAY'S CROSS-WORD PUZZLE Duff Challenges Taft to go all Out WASHINGTON (P) — Senator Duff (R-Pa.) today challenged Senator Taft (R-Ohio) to go after an all-out victory in the March 11 New Hampshire presidential primary. Duff's challenge came after Taft told a radio audience (MBS) last night that if he gets four or five of the 14 New Hampshire delegates to the July Chicago GOP convention, the result will deflate claims that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has great popular appeal with the voters. A full slate of Eisenhower delegates has been entered in New Hampshire with Gov. Sherman Adams and other state GOP leaders plugging vigorously for the general. Taft said with this backing the Eisenhower forces got "a good start" over the group of delegates running for him. Since the GOP party machinery in the state is in the hands of the general's advisers he said he will regard it as satisfactory" if four or five of its supporters are elected.
