2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Scanning Sports BY STAN JONES The way the sports picture looks now, Santa Ana college, which in the past and present has been the terror of the Eastern Conference in football, track and baseball, will soon find itself competing on the level with such noted junior college powers as Palomar, Oceanside, Slippery Rock, Greenvy Spoon and any of the smaller, little-known schools of the Southland. No, the Dons aren't planning to leave the comforts of home, the Eastern Conference, but from all indications they will be more than glad to get out into a conference where they will find teams of their own caliber. If the situation ever arises to that, and it could very easily, it probably won't come out for several seasons, but when it does, look out. Santa Ana has the least number of coaches on its staff in the Eastern Conference and for that matter the Southland and it is rumored that the ace recruiter of the Dons, John Ward, will pick up and leave for more lucrative fields very shortly, due to the Second Guessera losing interest in the Don football setup and as a result forcing the Don athletics to take on the color of intramural sports and nothing more. All this comes about as a result of a motion which is suddenly picking up steam in large quantities and seems headed down the road in success. Quite a few schools, probably Tustin, Garden Grove, Laguna Beach and Olive. Schools such as Compton, Pasadena, Glendale, John Muir are right in the heart of prepdom's best athletes and will all favor the ban while the only one against it would probably be Ventura. Most of the schools from the Metro conference would be for it such as Santa Monica and Long Beach. They too are in good areas for drawing top-notch high school athletes. The whole set-up is based on athletic de-emphasis and that is certainly what will be taking place at Santa Ana college if the ban goes through. DEER-BILLING DOGS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA VICTORIA. B. C. (P)—Deer are faced with a new danger—and disciplined domestic dogs. George Stevenson, provincial game inspector, reported the dogs are becoming more savage than mountain lions during some seasons of the year. He said the Game Department had to kill 12 dogs in two weeks recently. The dogs go up into high ground near the shore and chase the deer down on the beach, then bite a hole in the stomach or throat and leave the deer to die. When the snow is deep, they chase deer until the deer are exhausted, then kill them and leave them. "In very rare cases, the dogs make a meal of the meat," Stevenson said.

All this comes about as a result of a motion which is suddenly picking up steam in large quantities and seems headed down the road to success. Quite a few schools, probably more than one realizes want to put a halter on out-of-state athletes coming into this area and competing in sports. If they did, they would have to sit out a year; as a result it would just kill off any good talent to come into the conference around the Southland. If the ban does go into effect then the junior colleges around the Southland will have to rely upon their high school districts to furnish material for their athletic teams and just where will that leave Santa Ana? It will leave them deep in a hole, from which they would never be able to dig their way out. Other junior colleges would certainly benefit from the ban much more than the Dons. In the conference Orange Coast would still be getting athletes from Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Costa Mesa, Placentia, Brea-Ohinda, Tustin and Newport Harbor. Fullerton would get material from Placentin, Brea-Ohinda, Anaheim, Excelsior, Montebello, Bellflower and Fullerton while the Dons of Santa Ana would have to be content with two good sized schools, Anaheim and Santa Ana and other smaller schools as TODAY'S CROSS-WORD PUZZLE The dogs go up into high ground near the shore and chase the deer down on the beach, then bite a hole in the stomach or throat and leave the deer to die.

Lynn Patrick, coach of the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League, is the youngest coach in the circuit. He just celebrated his 40th birthday. Bob Feller of the Indians and Dick Starr of the Senators pitched the most home run balls during the '51 season in the American League. Both allowed 22 homers.

Under the direction of manager Fred Haney the Stars, who finished the PCL race in second spot last season to winner Seattle, will set up camp in Anaheim for the first time, leaving their four-year old camp, San Fernando, due to the recent wet weather which played havoc with the valley ramp. Players for the Stars will live at the Pickwick hotel, located on Los Angeles st., during their weeks stay in Anaheim. More fuel on the famed "shoe-string strip" will probably arise as a result of the Hollywood Stars holding camp in Anaheim, what with their arch rivals, the Los Angeles Angels holding spring training residence in Fullerton, who emerged victorious in the long debate over a plot of ground recently. Opening camp for the Stars will be the pitchers and catchers with the rest of the squad arriving throughout the week. Orange county will certainly be honored to have one of its own athletes in the camp—Santa Ana's Bert Haysom who only last year signed a contract with the team. Last year he made the all-CIF and all-Sunset league baseball teams as an outstanding pitcher. Golden Bears vs. Bruins Tonight in Westwood Gym LOS ANGELES QB — California's basketball team, pace setting the close Southern Division fight in the Pacific Coast conference, hopes to break a three-year jinx on UCLA's home court tonight. The Bears have not beaten UCLA there since 1948. The series here and Southern California's invasion of Stanford at Palo Alto, could go a long way toward deciding the division championship. California holds a one-game lead with five wins and three defeats. UCLA and Southern California are 1-4 and Stanford 3-5. Earlier this season, California surprised the UCLANS in two games at Berkeley, winning both in the final minute. Leading the California attack will be forward Bob Oblo, center Bob McKeen and guard Jim Doan. Big gun for UCLA is a freshman forward, Don Bragg, ably assisted by guard Don Johnson and forward Jerry Norman. USC, featuring such performers as Bob Boyd and Ken Flower, defeated Stanford twice here earlier this year. Stanford, with two wins in its three-league games at Palo Alto, has a good home record. The Indians will concentrate on speed using the fleet trio of forward Ed Tucker and guards Ron Tomsic and Oleg Sugdalef. The Trojans have been strong on the backboards this year, but they haven't been a running team. USC probably will go along. Orange Cross Country It was truly an awful afternoon at Huntington for the Anaheim high school country team as they across the finish in fast time to put themselves in in the All-Sunset league country final championship.

By GAYLE TALBOY NEW YORK (F)—No what anybody says, we the Sugar Ray Robinson, the weight champion, eventually go through with that two-poned fight against Carl Olson out in San Francisco; be not on March 13, the day set, but one of these days. Also, we think there is a possibility that the Mercuriumite will in time get arched to giving Rocky Graziano lated title shot in Chicago; one, which necessarily has set back, too, as Sugar Ruthued to experience terrific trouble, now is tentatively uled April 16. This powerful vote of cone in the 31-year-old Negro is based partly on the knot almost certainly shared by inson, that he still is man to whip both Olson and Graziano on the same evening, and on the fact that Sugar Ruthued to experience terrific trouble, now is tentatively uled April 16. That, however, is as far this staunch admirer of the great pugilist is prepared with Robby's future. Will and his manager, the E George Gainford, talk about ing Joey Maxim for the heavyweight crown and men Henry Armstrong's feat of ning titles in three weight sions, that's when we have reach for our hat. There might have been when Sugar could have given him or any other 175-pound Liberty Radio Files Suit Against Baseball CHICAGO (P) — Baseball's broadcast difficulties were further entangled today as the result of a $12,000,000 suit by a big radio network against 13 major league clubs, their league presidents and commissioner. The Liberty Broadcasting System filed the suit yesterday in U.S. district court here. Liberty charged violation of the Sherman and Clayton anti-trust laws and a "continuing conspiracy to monopolize and restrain competition in broadcasting and recreating play-by-play accounts of professional baseball games." The suit said the Liberty network had been frozen out of the 13 major league ball parks although it had offered more money than other bidders for broadcast rights. As a result, the suit said, Liberty has had to cancel plans for its game-of-the-day broadcasts for 1952 and has lost $4,000,000. It asked triple damages totaling $12,000,000. Defendants are Warren C. Giles and Will Harridge, respective presidents of the National American leagues; Commissioner Ford Frick, and all major league teams except the Brooklyn Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox. The Dodgers, Reds and White Sox were omitted for "legal" reasons, said Gordon McClendon, young president of LBS, at a news conference in New York. Danny Devine, 27-year-old graduate of the University of Minnesota, is the new coach of the freshman football team at Michigan State.

Los Angeles St. Anaheim Gazette SPORTS Orange Panthers Capture All-Sunset Cross Country Championships By STAN JONES It was truly an awfully slow afternoon at Huntington Beach for the Anaheim high school cross country team as they strolled across the finish in fast enough time to put themselves in last spot in the All-Sunset league cross country final championships. Orange won the team championship and the gold-plated trophy as a result of Ed Denbow scooping around the Oller's course in the speedy time of 8:22. Fred Stading placed fourth in 8:45 and Orin Grunkee tenth to sidel the Panthers to emerge victorious over the rest of the league competition for the first time in quite some time. Huntington Beach placed second in the team championships with Fullerton third, Newport fourth and Santa Ana in fifth spot. Orange totaled 44 points while Huntington Beach's runners scored 52. In contrast Anaheim scored 133 for their unique team finish. The best an Anaheim runner could accomplish in the field of some 50 runners was 17th spot with Dick Reed carrying across the finish line the Blue-Gold colors first. Reed's time was a hokey-pokey time of 9:04. Following Reed across the finish line for Anaheim was Gene Winger in 24th spot with the time of 9:13; Bruce Horner, 27th in 9:16; Ceil Veyna, 31st, in 9:24; Bob Calvo, 33rd in 9:28; Erlin Eberhard, 34th in 9:28; DeLeon Salvador, 37th in 9:31; Ray Bokleman, 39th in 9:33 and Sam Azzara, 40th in 9:36. Behind Azzara was a cloud of dust and many, many more runners, but it was getting cold on the Oller track and everybody was ready to go home and your reporter couldn't wait for the "hikers" to come back into civilization before he left. At last report track officials were planning to send out a couple of Huskies with food to aid the lost and straggling ones. Benbow jumped out to an early lead in the race over the mile and seven-tenths course and right on his trail was Dick Reed. As the runners hit the tennis courts Denbow was leading his teammate, Fred Stading, by a half yard, who was in turn leading Reed by another half yard. Running along the golf course, Denbow had a five yard lead over unbeaten Ray Stafford of Newport Harbor, who in turn had a lead of some five yards over Stading. At that point Stading was 40 yards out in front of Roy Montoyoa of Huntington Beach. As the runners hit the track for their final 440 yards, Reed was back in about 28th spot, but he really put on a final stretch kick to pull up into 17th spot. Azzara scooted by two Huntington Beach runners on the final straightaway. Veyna won over his nearest rival from Newport Harbor by 15 yards. Charles Flynn also put on a last stretch kick to pull away from several runners. RESULTS 1. K Denbow, Orange 2. R Stafford, Newport Sugar Ray Not the Same Robinson as Four Years Ago; Still to Meet Olson By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (P—No matter what anybody says, we feel that Sugar Ray Robinson, the middle-weight champion, eventually will go through with that twice-postponed fight against Carl (Bobo) Olson out in San Francisco. Maybe not on March 13, the date now set, but one of these days. Also, we think there is a strong possibility that the Mercurial Harlemite will in time get around to giving Rocky Graziano a beaten title shot in Chicago. That one, which necessarily has been set back, too, as Sugar Ray continued to experience terrible back trouble, now is tentatively scheduled April 16. This powerful vote of confidence in the 31-year-old Negro fighter is based partly on the knowledge, almost certainly shared by Robinson, that he still is man enough to whip both Olson and Graziano on the same evening, and partly on the fact that Sugar, himself, says he's going to fight 'em, yes or no. That, however, is as far as even this staunch admirer of the once-rarest pugilist is prepared to go with Robby's future. When he had his manager, the Emperor George Gainford, talk about fighting Joey Maxim for the light-bavyweight crown and matching Benny Armstrong's feat of winning titles in three weight divisions, that's when we have to reach for our hat. There might have been a time when Sugar could have given Maxim or any other 175-pounder a really shooting. But the Robinson of now was lucky to beat Turpin at all. If he had not—buttered and bleeding like a stuck hog—put on that almost miraculous rally and pounded the Englishman into helplessness just before the 10th round ended, he would have lost, sure as the world. That was a magnificent thing, that rally, and it gained Sugar the admiration of the fight world, but we somehow felt at the time it was the final, splendid gesture of a great artist. There couldn't be another like that in his system. As for fighting a large, rough customer such as Maxim at this stage, Robinson is just too smart ever to sign the papers. A man who owns practically everything in an entire Harlem business block except a girdle shop—and he's probably angling to get that—isn't light in the head. In the past, when Gainford would talk grandiloquently of matching his star against some big fellow, Sugar would sit there and grin and say: "that George, he wants to get me killed." Robinson weighs around 158 now, and he couldn't put on any more weight without losing some of his speed. Without all his speed he would be in bad shape against a big man who can hit. Ring Rioters to Settle Differences At OCAC Monday Wrestling ring rioters were planning to send out a couple really put on a final stretch kick to pull up into 17th spot. Azzara scooted by two Huntington Beach runners on the final straightaway. Veyna won over his nearest rival from Newport Harbor by 15 yards.

Pending final entries this morning, guesses on the size of the field ranged from a dozen to 16 starters. Windy City II, racing for Mrs. Gus Luellwitz of Los Angeles, topped the cast as the favorite in the mile and one-eighth fixture. Among those expected to give the $150,000 Irish importation a hefty challenge, if not upset him, are the Calumet Farm's Hill Gail, Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Whither, the King Ranch's Marcador and Lee McCoy's Indian Land. Other eligibles were Tiger Sir, Red Charger, Dark Count Cold Command, Tenedos, Haltafire, Kingly, Smoke Screen, All's Fair, and possibly Arroz and Quick Solution. Ring Rioters to Settle Differences At OCAC Monday Wrestling ring rioters An Fasha and Freddie McDaniels will be given an opportunity to settle their differences Monday night at the Orange County Athletic Club. The two brawlers who almost caused a small-scale ring riot this week after Fasha had defeated Billy McDaniels on what brother Freddie charged was illegal use of the cobra hold, will meet in a three-fall match of a four bout card. It is the first such "natural" the club has fallen heir to in months and it promises to be a combination alley fight and a wrestling match, if it follows the pattern set this week when Freddie took a hand in the proceedings. Hans Schnabel, one of the toughest grapplers in the heavyweight ranks goes up against Jim (Black Panther) Mitchell in the other three-fall event. Billy McDaniels ties into giant Ivan The Terrible in the special, and the hooded Golden Terror takes on popular Donnie Cary. Carl Perrillo, outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers, started six double plays from his rightfield position last season. Five American League baseball clubs use Florida as their spring training headquarters. Two prefer California. One goes to Arizona.
