2 Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1932 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Scanning Sports BY STAN JONES Although he was the top and fastest sprinter on the Bee squad last year, Aaron Peralta will probably confine his sprinting over flat land to the relay team this season. His relay partners could be Larry Kirchman, Ira Webber and Bill Walker. Peralta will try the hurdles this season and don't be too surprised to find him up at the head of the class when the big, important track meets roll around in the next few weeks. One big element in his favor is his will. He really likes to run. Huntington Beach's swimmers are not content to boast of winning the Sunset league title this season—they feel they are just about good enough to place second and with a little luck falling their way, they figure they can take El Segundo for the CIF crown. Anchored by ace breaststrokeer, Tom Wigginton and freestyleer, Buddy Belhe the Oilers figure to take the league title rather easily this year, but with Dale Moist, Fred Frank, Al Clayes, Joe Hoffman and Gene Geselle (he dives) leading the way the Colonists could possibly finish first. Thinking along the lines of swimming, did you know that the ace defensive right halfback for Stanford's Rose Bowl participants and Pacific Coast conference pool. Thompson also set a national record in the 220 which has since been broken. With a little luck and a few more points the Ritz Cleaners could possibly win the Anaheim city league basketball championship despite their third spot hangout. Fullerton's, leading cagers will be going their different ways soon while second place Huntington just isn't the team they started out to be. Most of the Fullerton players consider Roger Pannier the toughest defensive guard they have ever faced in loop competition. They say that he not only guards close when one has the ball, but he seems to guard even closer when one doesn't have the ball. Mel Smalley, all league half-back of a season ago for Newport Harbor and the loop's leading scorer while a junior, dropped out of school at Orange coast college due to illness in the family, but he will be back in action with the Pirate football team next season to help them defend their title. A look at the Hollywood Stars' spring training schedule leaves much to be desired in the way of more games at Anaheim, but due to the late change of camps the reason for more good opponents not appearing can easily be understood. One should be happy to have Winter Olympics to Open Thursday With or Without Nature's Help OSLO, Norway (UP) — With or without the cooperation of nature, the winter Olympics will open Thursday as scheduled. That was the final word today from the Olympic Organizing Committee and ski officials, who have been plagued with worries about the lack of snow. The officials at Norefjell, where the ski events get underway Thursday, are thoroughly convinced their efforts to haul snow and put it in place with the help of some 200 soldiers, will give the competitors a perfect run. Water is being sprayed on the snow. Sub-freezing temperatures assure a quick coating of ice. However, the skiing Technical Committee decided to postpone the women's downhill race from Saturday until Sunday. This will enable the soldiers to concentrate on getting the courses ready for the Thursday and Friday events which follow the original schedule. Hoper for snow to cover bare spots on the ski courses all but vanished this morning when the day dawned cold and clear. The official Norwegian Weather Bureau said a snow storm that paralyzed traffic in Northern Denmark had been swept away from the Oslo region. The bobsled run, scene of the only other opening day event, will be all right without more snow. It's made of almost solid ice and sub-freezing temperatures have kept it well preserved. The two-man sleds ended their practice runs today with the Germans, Swiss and Americans still battling for superiority. The German combination of Anderl Ostler and Lorenz Nieberl holds the world's title and will be favored to keep it. Columbiana is the only fully ever to win the Widener at Hialeah race track.

A look at the Hollywood Stars' spring training schedule leaves much to be desired in the way of more games at Anaheim, but due to the late change of camps the reason for more good opponents not appearing can easily be understood. One should be happy to have the Stars in Anaheim and in the future, if the Stars are appreciated, wanted back, and welcomed with open arms, then maybe one will see a long list of major league teams stopping off to play the Stars at La Palma park.

The Seals play host to Cleveland twice, Pittsburgh twice, St. Louis Brown's twice and the New York Giants once. They really meet the Browns three times, the last day being a double header at Seal stadium. Oakland also has a very attractive schedule—facing Cleveland twice, New York Giants twice, Pittsburgh twice and the St. Louis Brown's once.

Thats' high praise for a dog Dick Button in Rare Form for Olympic Finals OSLO (AP)—Dashing Dick Button—one of the greatest performers on skates since the storied Hans Brinker—is ready for his second Olympic competition. And when Dick says he's ready that means the engravers can start putting his name on the Olympic gold medal for the men's figure skaters. "I'm in better physical shape than I've been for the past four years," Dick said today. "He's skating better than he was at the last Olympics," added trainer Gus Lussi. Dick isn't overconfident or cocky and he won't venture any prediction. But he hasn't been outscooped on either free skating or school figures since before the 1948 Olympics. He won the Olympic title at St. Mortiz by the biggest margin in history. He's taken the past four world championships and the last six U.S. titles. Button has a three-month leave from Harvard where he is a senior honor student. For the past month and a half he's been in Europe working hard to get his form as sharp as his skate blades. He still has a week before the men's figure skating starts Feb. 19. There will be 18 competitors St. Bonaventure (16-1) ed in fourth place. Top ten (first place with parentheses): 1.

But Nate Levine, Bang Away's handler, warned before the show that it would take a really great dog to beat the California-owned boxer. Levine said his charge was in the best shape of its career. But there are several pooches still in the running that could win if they're at their best. Every member of the 18-man Notre Dame basketball squad is at least six feet tall.
