Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA California Outdoors BY JIM THOMAS (Associated Press Outdoors Editor) San Francisco fish and game department employees yesterday held a farewell party for John Ey Chattin, assistant chief of the game management branch, who will transfer from the state of California to the U.S. fish and wildlife service this month. No official announcements have been made of Chattin's resignation nor his future duties, but the fish and wildlife people have been "fishing" for his services for nearly a year, presumably to fill the post of coordinator of the Pacific Flyway. The position has been vacant for some time and Chattin's wide experience in state waterfowl problems, plus his close work with the federal agency, makes him a logical man for the spot. During his 11 years with the late department, since finishing his graduate work at the University of California, Chatton has become known as one of the west's outstanding waterfowl biologists. Among other things he developed the aerial censusing technique for waterfowl which was adopted last year by both the state and federal agencies. He will report to the Portland, Ore., regional office of the fish and wildlife service on Sept. 15, and presumably the official announcements of his employment and duties will be made then. While the transfer will be a distinct loss to the California department, the entire Pacific Flyway will benefit from his employment in the federal waterfowl program. For thousands of students, Labor day signaled the end of vacation, but for other thousands—those who relieve their special form of "fishin' pox" by seeking weighty striped bass in the Sacramento - San Joaquin waters it was just the start of the season. The first two big strippers of mond. Al, who has been fishing out of Otto's Big Break resort for some 15 or 18 years, broke the ice with a 27-pounder Sunday. Then Murphy topped him with a $0-pounder Tuesday. "We were pretty sure the big run was in the Break last week." Otto said, "from the reports of broken lines and hooks, but you can't weigh them in until they are on the dock. As it is, the run is a couple of weeks later than usual and should be hot for the rest of the fall." Big stripers also were reported in the lower delta and at Frank's tract. California's annual Sept. 1, one-day sagehen season, which this year was expanded to include Lassen and Modoc counties as well as Mono was a great success in all three counties. Modoc-Lassen hunters reported seeing hundreds of birds and averaged 1.5 birds per hunter, indicating that a majority filled their two-bird limit. In the Mono area, 49 per cent checked out with birds, and the average for the successful hunters was 1.97 birds per hunter. The limit was three. The coastal counties deer season, which closes Sept. 14, continues to run ahead of last year, with 11,875 bucks reported on the 25th day of the season, compared to 11,826 in 1951. Rugged Mendocino county continues to lead the list of top deer counties, followed by Lake Sonoma, Monterey and San Luis Obispo. San Luis replaces San Benito as the No. 5 county on the coastal list. Mendocino, only county over the 2000 mark had 2219 buck tags returned as compared with last year's 2-174 on the 25th day. Two notable increases were registered by Ventura and Merger LONG DAY—in the west when Anahi for work in the morning east before they get a chance. King Kong Keller Back at Plate For NY Yankees By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA (AP)—The New York Yankees apparently ran out of National Leaguers and duck back into their memory book for the club's newest replacement-Charles Ernest Keller.

For thousands of students, Labor day signaled the end of vacation, but for other thousands—those who relieve their special form of "fishin' pox" by seeking weighty striped bass in the Sacramento - San Joaquin waters it was just the start of the season. The first two big stripers of the season were taken in the Big Break at Oakley over the weekend by Al Magini of Oakland and P. B. Murphy of Richland. Gil Turner 9 to 5 Favorite Over Bobby Sykes NEW YORK (UP) — Aggressive Gil Turner is a 9 to 5 favorite to get back on the winning trail today when he takes on stiff-pursuing Bobby Dykes of Miami in rounder at Madison Square Garden. Hopped in 11 rounds by Welterweight Champion Gid Gavilan in his last start in July, the 31-year-old Turner has been handed one of the toughest possible foes for his comeback effort. Dykes, a 22-year-old six-footer with dynamite in either fist, has 42 knockouts to his credit in pro fights. The transferred exxon was barely nosed out by Gavilan in a title fight in February and has won six in a row since. Like Turner, he has ambitions to fight Gavilan again and is ready for the fight of his life. The winner figures to share some rien pursues in the near future. "We figure that Gil is in the position of the plane pilot who has cracked," said Turner's manager, George Katz. "The pilot usually is sent right up against to regain his confidence. We feel the same about putting him right back with the best." Turner's loss to Gavilan was the first of his career. He had won 32 in a row with 25 knockouts. Dykes' record is 78-7-5. The 9 p.m., EST, bout will be broadcast and telecast nationally. A. A. Stagg Starts 63rd Year as Football Coach SELINGSGROVE, Pa. (UP)—The largest opening day turnout in years greeted Amos Alonzo Stagg, "grand old man of football," as he started his sixth year at little Susquehanna University. More than a score of football aspirants pranced around the practice field yesterday and hurled and kicked the old pigskin for America's dean of football coaches. Some of the lads were so enthusiastic that their running took them off the limits of the practice field and they knocked over their 90-year-old mentor. But Stagg, spry and chipper as a college freshman, merely surveyed a torn shirt sleeve and yelled: "Now I've become the dummy." Stagg, in his 63rd year as coach, gained his principal fame with his great teams at Chicago and the College of the Pacific. In these more recent years he has been assisting his son Amos Alonzo, Jr., in handling Susquehanna. "The boys love him and his enthusiasm is reflected in their play," beamed Stagg, Jr. The elder Stagg and his wife, Stella, who still helps him chart plays, arrived Monday after a three-day trip from their Stockton, Calif., home. "It takes more than a little train trip to tire me," the veteran coach commented. Last year Susquehanna went 25th day of the season, compared to 11,826 in 1951. Rugged Mendocino county continues to lead the list of top deer counties, followed by Lake, Sonoma, Monterey and San Luis Obispo. San Luis replaces San Benito as the No. 5 county on the coastal list. Mendocino, only county over the 2000 mark had 2219 buck tags returned as compared with last year's 3174 on the 25th day. Two notable increases were registered by Ventura and Merced counties. Ventura jumped from 288 last year to 474 due mostly to the opening of the Fraser mountain refuge. Merced reported 181 bucks, compared with 55 on the same day last season. PHILADELPHIA (UP)—The New York Yankees apparently ran out of National Leaguers and duck back into their memory book for the club's newest replacement—Charles Ernest Keller. And the sight of old Charley once one of the most feared sluggers in baseball, acted like a show of adrenalin on the Yankees. The walloped the Athletics and pitched ace Bobby Shantz last night 12-2 with an awesome display of power hitting. What do the Yankees want with Keller? The 34-year-old fielder ap artently had outlived his baseball usefulness as a Yankee back in 1949; he summer he underwent a operation for a ruptured spinal disc. Manager Casey Stengel supplied the answer: "Charley looked pretty good working out with us and we can use another pinchhitter. You never can tell, maybe he'll deliver one that could mean a lot to us." Maybe Stengel figures Keller will provide his club with a pay chological lift. The sight of King Kong Keeler at the plate has sent chills running down plenty of pitchers' backs. Charley, who first became a Yankee in 1939, might still be blasting the ball as a regular if it nadn't been for that back injury. How does Charley feel about being a Yankee for the second time? "There's nothing like it," he said, as he ran his hands over the letters "New York" spread over his massive chest. "I feel fine and I really think I can help Casey and the boys." The old power is still there. Keller hasn't played baseball since retiring in 1951. He played for the Detroit Tigers in 1950 and 51. as a pinchhitter and utility through its six-game season undefeated. "It's unlikely that we'll have another this year but that's not worrying us." Stagg declared. "It is playing the game that's important, not winning." The Staggs will celebrate their 48th wedding anniversary Sept. 10—if they remember it. Last year, like many in the past, they completely forgot about it in the excitement of football practice.

Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP)—One of the more disquieting reports about the approaching football season has it that a large number of college coaches are planning to equip their teams with the recently disinterred spread formation. Maverick This is a maverick formation which was originated 20 or 30 years ago by kids playing touch football in the streets. Every play was, of course, a pass play, and offerive mainstay will find that it is saving on manpower and that he will need to expend fewer of his precious scholarships on ball-carriers. But, unless he is lucky, he also will find himself getting licked by scores that will curl his hair and rouse the alumni. It has long since been proved that winning football calls for keeping possession of the ball a majority of the time.

They are playing their baseball of the year, just NEW YORK (AP)—One of the more disquieting reports about the approaching football season has it that a large number of college coaches are planning to equip their teams with the recently disinterred spread formation. Maverick This is a maverick formation which was originated 20 or 30 years ago by kids playing touch football in the streets. Every play was, of course, a pass play, and the little shavers discovered that by placing their ends and spare backs up on the neighbors' lawns, possibly concealed by fir trees, they stood a much better chance of connecting with a receiver than if they employed the orthodox offensive lineup. Despite its obvious advantages, the spread never really caught on in the better collegiate circles. From time to time some coach who found himself in bad shape for authentic talent would haul out this form of scattergun attack as a last resort and perhaps rattle the enemy for a play or two. The average mentor with manpower at his command regarded it strictly as a carnival novelty. National Prominence The first time we recall the spread receiving something like national prominence was a couple of seasons back when the Southern Methodist Mustangs, who were crippled up, sprang it on Notre Dame in a big way in a game at Dallas. Came dadburn near beating the Irish with it, too, before Frank Leahy's lads came out of their trance. Then, last season, the Ponies' near neighbor, Texas Christian, scattered its players around like a covey of frightened quail from September right through to the new year and, somehow or other, won the Southwest Conference title. That evidently was enough to start a lot of coaches to thinking despite the fact that TCU wasn't able to beat any team outside its own conference and caught a 20-7 licking from Kentucky in the Cotton Bowl. Immunity The truth of the matter is the spread will work only so long before opponents become immune to it and the fans begin to yearn for some coach who adopts it as his outfielder. But he doesn't feel that it will take him long to get in shape. offensive mainstay will find that it is saving on manpower and that he will need to expend fewer of his precious scholarships on ball-carriers. But, unless he is lucky, he also will find himself getting liked by scores that will curl his hair and rouse the alumni. It has long since been proved that winning football calls for keeping possession of the ball a majority of the time. A team which employs the spread is gambling about 50-50 that it either will lose the ball or have its passer thrown for a big loss on nearly every play against a strong and alert defensive outfit. In the long run this proves ruinous. The only exception comes in that rare instance where a team has a passer who also is an exceptionally dangerous runner. In such a case the wide spread, used with discrimination, can prove potent weapon. Otherwise, it simply ain't football. San Diego Loses Championship To Cincinnati DENVER (AP)—Superior fielding and pitching carried Cincinnati to a 5-2 victory over San Diego for the championship of American Legion junior baseball. Cincinnati won also in 1944 and 1947. Howie Whitson, a 17-year-old righthander weighing 145 pounds, last night shut out San Diego for the first seven innings on two hits. He gave up a triple to Horace Tucker and then uncorked a wild pitch for the Californians' first run in the eighth. San Diego jumped on Whitson for three successive singles in the ninth but a double play, in which the ball was handled eight times, trapped two runners and ended the threat. Cincinnati sewed up the contest in the third with four runs on two hits, two walks and an error. The big blow was Russ Nixon's two run. Outfielder Horace Tucker of San Diego won the batting championship with a .451 average in tournament games.
