Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Injury Riddled Colonists Point for Friday Opener Inexperienced Team Still Question Mark as Game with Redlands Nears It won't be long now. Ready or not the Colonists will meet Redlands head on Friday night when they journey into enemy territory for their season opener. And to date things at Anahi are still in a state of flux. Injuries to more than half a dozen griders haven't simplified the coaching jobs of Clare Van Hoorebeke, Bill Hicks and John Wallin—nor have they improved Anaheim's chances of winning which, according to Coach Van were never too bright in the first place. Centers Ray Bokelman, John Wright and Carlos Ochoa, backs Aaron Peralta, Henry Herrera, Mickey Gouyd and Don Leigh, end Floyd Ferrell and guards Mike Troop and Lupe Lamas are all on the injured list. Center chores in Friday's game may fall to Ochoa, who has been switched from a defensive line-backing spot. He is the least badly banged up of the centers. Bud Browns may also get the call to fill in at center. He looked alright yesterday in the spot, an unfamiliar one to him. In a talk to his squad, following a long workout yesterday, Van stressed again the importance of mental attitude. He wasn't too happy with the results of Monday's workout against Corona. He thought his boys would have made a better showing if they had kept the idea that they were supposed to be playing football in mind a little more often. Van remarked that when they were in the right frame of mind they showed they had the stuff, but the frame wasn't there often enough. The workout against Corona indicated again the weakness of the line. That weakness in the main is inconsistency. John Wallin, who works theinemen, said they looked pretty good on defense, but they're too spotty on offense. All the coaches seem agreed that some of the boys are taking too long to make up their minds when carrying out their assignments. Hoorebeke repeated what he has said earlier—if his charges are going to make a mistake then he wants them to make it in a hurry. The idea being to decide what to do quickly and then do it. Van also told his boys that Redlands will be a strong and aggressive team. But he stressed the fact that a scrappy team, such as have come from Anaheim in the years past, can always give a good account of itself. He told them they would have to make up for their inexperience with desire. Fullback Jim Roberts and halfback Dean Philpott were singled out once more by the coaches for their aggressiveness and spirit. Roberts is rounding into shape rapidly and much is being expected of him. Philpott still runs like he means it, and is driving just as hard at the end of practice sessions as at the start. The mental attitudes of both boys got praise from Coach Van Hoorebeke. The starting quarterback spot is still undecided. Strangely enough the three men playing at the key position don't seem to be fighting for the first string spot, Van said. Their performances are half-hearted, he concluded.

But the Stars can do it by win Graziano Rough And Ready for Fight with Davey CHICAGO (AP) — With a weltersweight title shot already promised, scholarly Chuck Davey will only risk getting his feelings hurt and his undefeated ring record shattered tonight against rough-and-ready Rocky Graziano, ex-middleweight champion. Eager to prove he is not over the hill, the 33-year-old Graziano says confidently that he will win the scheduled 10 round in Chicago Stadium with a knockout. Sharpies will lay 9 to 5 odds that he's right. Davey, holder of a Michigan State masters degree in education, thinks his speed and unorthodox southpaw style will keep Graziano combing nothing but air. A ringside crowd of about 12,000, contributing to an estimated gate of $65,000 to $75,000 and a nationwide television audience are likely to see something like this: Graziano, expected by fight time of 9 p.m. EST to outweigh his opponent 162 pounds to 149, trying to use this advantage in bull-like rushes, maintaining incessant pressure for the only logic he knows, complete annihilation. Davey, 26, feinting him off balance, timing his blows to meet him coming in and then dancing back in his perpetual jogging motion. Davey, in his brief spectacular career, has won 24 fights, had two draws and has never been off his feet. He has used systematic punches, instead of one, to keep 23 of his foes from going the route. The home run punch is Graziano's trademark. He will absorb a lot of punishment, like he did in three brutal scraps with Tony Zaln, to get his one big punch across. Philpott still runs like he means it, and is driving just as hard at the end of practice sessions as at the start. The mental attitudes of both boys got praise from Coach Van Hoorebeke. The starting quarterback spot is still undecided. Strangely enough the three men playing at the key position don't seem to be fighting for the first string spot. Van said. Their performances are half-hearted, he concluded. Coach John Wallin pointed to the fine performance of guards Mike Troop, Tom Berg and Lupa Lamas as being much better than average. Wallin feels that his linemen are coming along as well as can be expected considering their inexperience. No starting team has been picked as yet. Coach Van waiting to see how certain members of his squad react to treatment of their injuries. But win, lose or draw, football starts for Anaheim Friday night. SANTA CLARA (P) — Santa Clara Coach Dick Gallagher predicts the Saturday opener with Stanford, will be "Clean, hard fought and close—very close." Stanford nipped the Broncos last year 21-14. Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT By GAYLE TALBOT GROSSINGER, N.Y. (AP) — Charlie Golman, the gnome-like little man who trains Rocky Marciano, was holding forth on his favorite topic while the heavyweight challenger took a sound afternoon snooze in the room above. Raw and Crude "He not only was crude when I first saw him in 1948," Golman recalled, "but he also was about the rawest fighter I ever had laid my eyes on. He was old to be starting out on a professional career, too—nearly 24 he was at that time. "But I saw that Rocky could punch and that he had a fine body for taking punches. He was an awful slow punchers, though, and about all he had was a big, looping right. He's much faster now and he punches a lot shorter, but he still throws the looper now and then and it's all right with me. I told him as long as he gets results, that's all I want." Cooperative "Well, what Rocky looked in learn and he wanted to work. He had never had more than $20 in his pocket at one time in his life. Any time he had more that that it went to help support his family." "Rocky must be something like this golfer Ben Hogan. I read how Hogan will shoot a fine score and then go out and practice for a couple of hours. Rocky's exactly that way. If I should get him on the phone the morning after he wins the championship from Joe Walcott and tell him something's on fire and I want him to start in training again, he would just say, 'Okay, Charlie,' and he would be there." "It's the honest truth, he even sneaked off on me. After a real hard workout he'll finish eating and tell me he thinks he'll go out for a little a walk. I found out later he did eight or 10 miles." Davey, in his brief spectacular career, has won 24 fights, had two draws and has never been off his feet. He has used systematic punches, instead of one, to keep 23 of his foes from going the route. The home run punch is Graziano's trademark. He will absorb a lot of punishment, like he did in three brutal scraps with Tony Zale, to get his one big punch across. Former Colonists Play for Orange Coast College Several members of last year's champion Anaheim high school football club will be seen in action Friday night as the Orange Coast college Pirates invade the famed Rose bowl at Pasadena to fight the Muir Mustangs in a non-conference battle. Of the eight former Colonists who reported to head coach Ray Rosso, Lenny Kolb, Glenn Keminsky, John Steinborn, and Eddie Herrera appear to have landed positions either on the first or second string with Bob Sanders, John Hutson and Gerry Sepulveda still on the squad. Mentor Rosso raves of the Kolb-Steinborn inheritance. "Kolb will undoubtedly be the best T-QB we have ever had," stated Rosso, "and Steinborn," added the Pirate headman, "he can do about everything with that football." Rosso has Steinborn tabbed for offensive ball carrying assignments as well as the special duties of punting and some kickoff work. He also has planned some pass receiving chores for the former Colonist. Kolb will see early action behind lefterman Paul Chute and Kaminsky and Herrera are tabbed for early work at the tackle slots with Herrera being figured as a possible middle guard in a five-man line. "But I saw that Rocky could punch and that he had a fine body for taking punches. He was an awful slow punchers, though, and about all he had was a big looping right. He's much faster now and he punches a lot shorter, but he still throws the looper now and then and it's all right with me. I told him as long as he gets results, that's all I want. Cooperative "Well, what Rocky lacked in experience he made up in being cooperative. He's the most cooperative fighter I ever trained or ever heard about. He wanted to" "Bees" Ready For Opener Anaheim high school's "B" football team will join their varsity brothers at Redlands Friday night to inaugurate the opening of another football season. The B's will go in the prelim game at 6 p.m. Coaches Sam Keith and Bill Hunstock have cut 50 boys from their original squad of 93. As with the varsity injury is a factor. Ronnie Sabo, who probably would have started at the quarter spot, hurt his wrist in a recent scrimmage and is probably lost for this game. Lonnie Jenkins, a returning letterman, has been moved from his halfback spot into the quarterback slot vacated by Sabo. The B's held heavy scrimmage last week but started this week with lighter workouts. SPORTS—FILLERS LOS ANGELES (P)—Two late starting regulars in the UCLA backfield, Don Stalwick and Joe Sabol, indicated they'll be ready to roll against Oregon here Saturday. Both showed good form in yesterday's drill, Sabol particularly in punting. Tiny Ted Narleski doubtless will start at left halfback in place of Paul Cameron, who seems unable to put pressure on an ailing ankle. RETURNING LETTERMAN—Back for this year's grid wars is Jim Roberts, one of last year's outstanding Colonist players. Roberts looks sharp in practice workouts and will be called upon to carry a heavy share of his team's offense. California Outdoors By JIM THOMAS (Associated Press Outdoors Editor) RETURNING LETTERMAN—Back for this year's grid wars is Jim Roberts, one of last year's outstanding Colonist players. Roberts looks sharp in practice workouts and will be called upon to carry a heavy share of his team's offense. California Outdoors By JIM THOMAS (Associated Press Outdoors Editor) The 70-day waterfowl season announced by the fish and wildlife service recently gives California hunters an extra 10 days of shooting this year and increased bag limits for both ducks and geese. Opens Oct. 24 The season opening, at noon Friday, Oct. 24, provides a three-day weekend opener and there appears plenty of ducks to take care of the extra load. Already unusually large numbers of waterfowl have come into the Sacramento valley, necessitating extra precautions to keep them out of crops. Big flights of canvassbacks have been observed as far south as Napa. The bag and possession limit remains officially at six, but with the provision that an "additional" two widgeon or sprig, or one of each, can be taken. Most northern California shooters would have to go out of their way to fill a limit without one or the other, so for practical purposes the limit is eight. Limit of Six The goose limit remains the same—six, with only two of the dark geese permitted—but brant have not been included in the goose limit this year and three additional brant can be taken. That however is more practical than real, since it is unlikely that the average California hunter will ever be in position to pick up the full mixed bag of two dark geese, four white geese, and three brant. In this connection, California hunters should take note that in referring to brant, the fish and wildlife service means the black sea brant, which is found along the coastal bays. There are records of only one or two black sea brant ever having been found in inland California. They are not to be confused with the cackling goose, which although nick-named brant in some areas is a subspecies of the common Canada goose, or honker. The only place where the black sea brant appear in any numbers in California are in Humboldt, Drake, Bolinas, Tomales, Moro and San Diego bays. Tragedy Strikes Tragedy struck the Seattle club in the death of its general manager, Earl Sheely. Sheely, who had been ill of a heart ailment, attended the early innings of the Rainiers game with San Francisco but left early. STOCKTON (A)—Coach Ernie Jorge gave his College of Pacific football team the word today—stop the running of California's fallback Johnny Olszewski and the aerial antics of Quarterback Billy Mais. and tell him something's and I want him to start g again, he would just Charle,' and he would he honest truth, he even ff and trained some on ymoon.

PRICE WITH YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR '395 Plus Ta Pay As Little As $18.98 Per Month BALLMAN' Leo’s Gamble Doesn’t Pay Off; Giants Now Trail by Four Runs By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer “I just gambled and lost, that’s it.” The quotes are those of Manar Leo Durocher, who yesterday rounded the experts, fans, opposition and his own players by pinning the New York Giants’ penultimate hopes on the shoulders of a pitching neophyte who had never ridden an inning of big league ball. Youngster The youngster is 25-year-old Rick Harsiman, a former first-season stop, who turned to minor league pitching last spring and is brought up to the Giants day before yesterday after a 7-7 record with Minneapolis of the American association. Harsman walked to the mound under his own power, but collapsedickly and the Chicago Cubs, behind Warren Hacker, breezed to 0-0 victory. The defeat was the rare bitter because it was followed by Brooklyn’s 4-2 triumph over Pittsburgh that boosted the Dodgers’ National league lead over the Giants to four games with only 10 go for each side. Who Else I had to go with Harshman. No else did I have? The others all overworked.” Durocher said. Harshman couldn’t escape an injury without being scored upon and was derricked in the third inning, which ended with the Cubs joying a 6-0 lead. The Giant players who raised their eyebrows questioningly when they learned of Durocher’s plans, didn’t help the cause much, either, taking out a meager three wide-scattered hits of the Cub knucballer. Heartened by the Giants’ loss, Brooks stepped out in the evening and knocked off the Pirates in the help of home runs by Hodges and Duke Snider. Gil Ammered his 32nd off loser Murray. 28-year-old righthander in the ninth and had two on and the tying runs on the bases when Black sauntered in and fanned Frank Thomas for the third out. No Change Cleveland remained stationary in its pursuit of the American league-leading New York Yankees despite their 10-inning 4-3 triumph over the Washington Senators. The Yankees maintained their 2½ game margin—with 10 to go—when rookie southpaw Bill Miller twirled a three hit 7-0 shutout over the Detroit Tigers. Joe Collins and Hank Bauer homered to hand Art Houtteman his 19th loss. It was the Yankees’ fifth straight win. Mike Garcia kept the Indians in the running, spinning a 10-hitter for his 21st triumph against 10 defeats.
