ON THE LAM ... with Jim Lamhofer Onlookers to the PCC Southern division basketball hassle are toying with the possibility of the screwball title race ending in a four-way tie for both first and last places. Such a situation is more than possible—it is almost probable. To have it happen, this is all that has to happen: UCLA splits its series with Cal at Westwood this weekend and SC does likewise with Stanford at Palo Alto. Then in the final weekend the Indians dump the Bears twice while the Trojans and Bruins divvy another pair. The result would find all four teams ending up with a 6-6 mark—a statistician's delight but a league officials' nightmare. In such an event, all 24 league contests will have gone to prove naught, and all the chips would have to ride on whatever sort of four-team playoff could be devised by the harried schedule-makers. Such a situation is almost unheard-of in the annals of American sports. It has always been the case that whenever teams have banded together to form leagues, there has always been one entry, or at the most two or three, which have exercised superiority over the rest of the field. Two-team and even three-team playoffs to break ties are fairly common—four teams or more certainly no. Now consider this. Last winter the Bruins and Trojans ended the regular slate deadlocked for first. So a one-game playoff, won by the Woodenmen, decided who was to face mighty Washington in the playoffs to determine the winner of the Far Western spot in the NCAA tourney. But the UCLA-SC playoff was held to be only for the purpose of securing an opponent for the Huskies, and the Bruins and Trojans were recorded as co-Southern division champions for 1981. This is all by way of getting to this: if all four quintets this year should end up in a four-way snail for first and last places, it would apparently mean the four would be rated quadruple-champions. Thus the four, all cellar-dwellers Do you have Series E Defense Bonds coming due this year? Do you have Series E Defense Bonds coming due this year? Here's a money-earning opportunity for you! Now—a new law lets your maturing Series E Bonds go on earning for you ten years longer! And you don't have to do a thing! Are you one of those patriotic citizens who began buying—and holding—U.S. Series E Bonds ten years ago? Now your government is going to reward your faith with a chance for your bonds to earn extra money—over and above what you'd expected! According to the bill passed by Congress last spring, it is now possible for your U.S. Series E Bonds to continue earning for ten years longer than was originally planned. For example, a Series E Bond which cost you $18.75 in 1942 will pay you $25 in 1952. But if you hold that bond ten extra years, until 1962, it will pay you $33.33, an average interest of 2.9%. And there is nothing for you, as a bond holder, to do. You simply keep your bonds as you have been keeping them. You may still redeem any Series E Bond at any time after you've owned it for sixty days. (The tables on this page show what you can get for it.) But, unless you really need the cash you're much better off to hold your bonds. Cash is too easily spent on nonessential things. And if you lose or accidentally destroy it, you're out that much money. But when you have cash in Defense Bonds, you're more apt to hold on to it. And if your bonds are lost or destroyed, the Treasury will replace them for you at no cost. The cash you have in bond savings is safe and solid; and it's steadily growing toward a sum big enough to buy a dream—something really worth while—a home, a business, a retirement fund, an education for your children. So if you have bonds coming due, take advantage of this also, would find themselves plions and last-placers all at it. It would all be very strange to say the least... We're just depraved enough we would relish seeing success. We think it would larious for fans but admire bewildering to coaches and others.

So if you have bonds coming due, take advantage of this new offer—just sit back and let them go on making money. Meanwhile keep adding to your savings by buying more U.S. Defense Bonds regularly—through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. If you want to be paid your interest as current income—the new law also allows you to exchange your Series E Bonds, in blocks of $500 or more, for Special Series G Bonds which pay interest semiannually at the rate of 1½% per year. For full details, ask at any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch. Look how your maturing bonds go on earning under the new law!

The Treasury Department thanks, for their patriotic donation, the Advertising Council and Anaheim Gazette Gazette SPORTS Bee Hoopsters Present Final League Statistics Before Entering Santa Monica Tourney Although the Anaheim Bee hoopsters are still in training for their Santa Monica tourney which starts next week, they have nevertheless, officially been crowned unofficial league champions for the fifth straight year. Looking at their loop statistic look one can easily find pleasant food to feed upon. There were only six players who got into the hick of the action—first stringer George Bishop, Bob Stewart, Fred Frank, Paul Salazar and frank Navarro as well as the nummer one reserve who even started several games, Jon Wright, theough and rugged center. Ending up the season in loop day with the best field goal percentage mark was lefty Val Wiethorn who attempted 18 goals, made ten of them for a percentage mark of 76.9. High from the free throw line was George Bishop who attempted 19, completed 15 for a mark of also, would find themselves champions and last-placers all at once. It would all be very, very strange to say the least. We're just depressed enough that High from the free throw line as George Bishop who attempt19, completed 15 for a mark of also, would find themselves champons and last-placers all at once. It would all be very, very range to say the least. We're just depraved enough that we would relish seeing such a sittion. We think it would be hirrious for fans but admittedly wildering to coaches and players. This last weekend's happenings the Pan-Pacific convinced us the more that California sertity does not belong in first race any more than pre-season opesters thought the Beals did. Nibs Price's outfit needed all the rick imaginable to eke out that friday night win over SC in the driller, and the visitors showed themselves to be hopelessly outpassed and utterly confused by joy Saturday night. Like a lot of other people, we link a clear-cut UCLA divisional hipping is a lot stronger likelihood than the fanciful four-way possible, or than flag-winning performance by any other five. With all four of their remaining as in the cozy confines of their bestwood crackerbox, the Uclans n't figure to lose at worst more on one of them and at the prespace, that ought to be good ough to pick up all the marbles. Never before has a mark as se to mediocrity as 7-5 been enough to take it, but then ever before has there been as easy-turvy a race as this, plaving to play all four "reinners" on the road practically minates the Trojans, and three of four on unfamiliar confines ures to knock Cal off the top. Stanford may be the strongness of the bunch by the season's use, but Bob Burnett's men made it move too late; it appears. Ivy League Bans Postseason Games NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Football was a de-emphasized major sport in the Ivy League today, shorn of its pre-season and post-season hoop-la by order of the presidents of the eight schools involved. Under an agreement announced by the colleges, neither coaches nor players may participate, among other things, in postseason intersectional games. This rules students at Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Cornell, Brown, Columbia and Pennsylvania out of the North-South and East-West games. Nor may Yale's Herman Hickman again coach the North squad as he has for the past two games. Kenny Knapp Hits For 17 to Lead Cleaners in Win Moving up in class last night were the cagers of the Ritz Cleaners team who took on and defeated a team, composed of players from the Santa Ana Junior college hoop squad which competes in the rough and tough Eastern Conference competition.

Adolph Rupp's Southeastern Conference champions drew 38 first place votes and 885 points in the weekly Associated Press poll. Kentucky is riding a 16-game winning streak and boasts an overall record of 22-2. Kansas State remained second with 16 first place votes and 754 points from the 104 sports writers and sports casters who participated in the coast-to-coast canvass. Washington jumped two places into sixth. Seattle climbed from 20th to 16th. UCLA and Southern California each was given honorable mention.

St. Bonaventure (4) 17-2 193 Nettles Scores 30 Points for Sailor Victory With ten seconds left in the game, the score reading 49-48, Sam McGaughy of the Fullerton Indians fouled guard Dick Lunk of Newport Harbor while he was attempting to shoot a field goal. Lunk missed the first shot, but made the second to hand Newport Harbor a hard-fought, cleanly-played Sunset league final over Fullerton in the Indiana Tespee yesterday afternoon 50-49. Taking high scoring honors in the game was seen forward for the Sailors, Armand Nettles who scored 30 points, 16 in the second half. Nettles, as a result, contributed the league scoring for the second straight year. Jim Mendon, who had a chance at the scoring title, going into yesterday's game, could only make six. He could have scored more in the second half, but with Nettles way out in front at that point, he turned into a real team player and started to feed the ball to Nettles. Newport led throughout the game despite their using the platoon system. Fullerton would put in their second team members and the Sailors first team would rush back into the game. When Fullerton's first unit would go into the game Newport's would come out and that's the way it went for the most part until the final period when both coaches played their top five men right down to the end. Colonists Conclude Current Contests With Interesting View at Statistics With the Anaheim varsity basketballers through for the season, except to play a proposed alumni game soon, the season statistics for the team reveal some very interesting facts. Bill Ames, who topped all field goal makers this season, was quite a distance behind the leaders of last season's team which tied for the loop title with Newport Harbor. Ames scored 69 field goals while last season Sheldon Welch scored over 100 as did Ronnie Faulkner. Ames, however, will be back next season, along with Dave Moody, Gayle Herbel and Joe Clark, other Colonist hoishots in the 21-game season which saw Anaheim win 12 and lose nine games. Dave Moody, guard and at times center, was the only player on the squad to get into every Anaheim game this season. Ames and Herbel missed just one game each while Ira Webber missed three and Johnny Steinborn six. Leading in the fouling department were Ames and Moody with 44 each, followed by Webber with 35 and Herbel with 34. In the reverse department, the free throw line, Webber topped all scorers with 80 points with Moody second, 27, and Ames third with 23. Taking high points per game the most times was Ames who scored more points in ten games than any other team member, although he did four times. Hoop Playoffs In CIF Revealed By Commissioner Pairings for the 1952 CIF basketball playoffs were revealed today by CIF commissioner Bill Russell with action starting Tuesday, Feb. 26, with four games and eight games for Feb. 29. Playing sites will be selected after the roster of 20 teams is completed. As yet, several positions for the playoffs are not yet positive with loop play still in progress in several of the leagues. Games until the semi-final round will be played in a neutral gym in or adjacent to one of the two communities involved in the playoffs. Quarter-final games will be played Tuesday, March 4; semifinals Friday night, March 7 with the finals the following evening. Teams winning first or second place in any of the 10 CIF Southern Section leagues will qualify for the playoffs. Representing the Sunset League are champion Huntington Beach and runner-up Newport Harbor. Huntington finished their loop slate undefeated and with a season record of having only lost one game—that to San Diego in the Beverly Hills tourney. San Diego will not compete in the playoffs as a result of ending their league competition in third spot. Huntington Beach is scheduled to meet with the winner of the Cathedral-El Monte games. New- Huntington Beach is scheduled to meet with the winner of the Cathedral-El Monte games. Newport will go against the number two team of the Citrus Belt League who right now is San Bernardino, but the Sailor's opponent could end up to be besides San Berdoo, Chaffey or Redlands, who are still in the running for the runner-up spot. Defending champion of the CIF S. Compton, will open the defense of their crown against the number two team of the Bay League which will be either Inglewood or Sahara Monica. It could possibly be Redondo who is leading the loop now. The winner of the Newport Harbor-Citrus Belt number two team will tangle with San Diego Hoover and the winner of that game will meet the winner of the Whittler-Fillmore-Glendale Hoover game. Fillmore, number two team of the Ventura League will up against the runner-up in theoothill loop who right now is Glendale Hoover and Burbank. The winner of the Huntington Beach-Cathedral-El Monte game will battle with the winner of the South Pasadena-Ventura game and after that round it gets pretty complicated. Major bright spot for Uncle Sam's winter athletes was Olympic and world champion Dick Button's brilliance in the figure skating where he topped the field in today's compulsory, or school, maneuvers. The free skating will be held Thursday. Button, of Englewood, N.J. scored 111.1 points virtually to clinch his title again. His forte is in the free skating. Brooks Dodge of Gorham, N.H., who tied for sixth in the giant slalom on the second day, came out ninth in the slalom, won today by Othmar Schneider, the Austrian ski master. Schneider's victory snapped a four-event winning streak by Norway but the Norsemen swept second and third in that competition.
