A few minutes later, the Crusader, with ace British driver John Rhodes Cobb at the controls, disintegrated (below) while traveling at an estimated speed of 200 miles an hour.

So far, the team has failed to get a victory, but they have gained valuable experience which will come in mighty handy when the league contests begin. Following the Citrus game, the Blue and Gold will travel to Las Vegas for a little Nevada-style football, then will return to the local area for their league opener. That game will be with Newport at Newport and will be the beginning of the games that really count. The Colonists are learning with every game played and are starting to function as a unit. In Friday's game with Chaffey, the defense showed it had the stuff to stop a big and experienced team when the chips were down—namely inside the 25 yard line. Offensively, the Anahi's weren't as sharp, but Coach Clare Van Hoorebcke must have received a lift when he found that Mickey Gouyd and Phil Wright are more than capable halfbacks, and that Dean Philpott drives through for yardage no matter what position he plays. When Jim Roberts and Aaron Peralta return to the grid wars, and the Colonists have had the benefit of their next two practice games, the Blue and Gold is going to be a tough outfit in any man's league. Spirit counts for plenty in any athletic contest and the Colonists proved Friday night that they have an abundance of that. DOWN FOR THE COUNT—Chaffey Tailback Sam Crowe is brought doyn by an unidentified Anaheim player in last Friday's contest at La Palma park, while another Colonist swings in to make sure. Crowe was a thorn in the side of the local team all night. Chaffey won 18-0. Coast Teams Doing Alright Against Big Ten—So Far SAN FRANCISCO — Pacific coast conference teams, already boasting a perfect 2-9 record over Big Ten rivals in the infant football season, gun for three more Saturday. California's Bears face Minnesota, Stanford meets Michigan, and Oregon State tackles Michigan State's powerhouses. Cal and Stanford are slight local favorites—but Michigan State, the nation's No. 1 squad in the Associated Press poll, should wallop Oregon State. Stanford, which defeated Michigan 25-13 last year—the first time the Wolverines ever lost to a Coast conference team—proprobly will take to the air in an attempt to make it two in a row. "If Michigan has a weakness, it's pass defense," Stanford Scott Joe Ruetz told the Northern California Foothall Writers yesterday. Michigan lost 21-13 to Michigan State Saturday. State piled up 210 yards from Passing. Riefer indicated that in him quarterback Bob Garrett, whose passing carried Stanford in a 14-33 squash over Washington State, will bear the offensive load against Michigan. Although Ruetz said Michigan "is a far better team this year," sports writers already have tabbed host Stanford as the favorite. California Coach Lynn Waldorf's chief problems are to patch up his injury riddled team and smooth out a hot and cold defense. He predicted the Bears will face a greatly improved Minnesota team at Minneapolis—10 per cent better than the aggregation California loved last year. Cal is ranked No. 4 nationally. Waldorf, who has seven players on the injury list, including three starters, said the Bears showed definite progress in their 26-14 win over Missouri. ● "Our men got good training in rushing the passer, in covering, and in rallying when passes were caught," said Waldorf. Cal Scouts reported they were increased by the Goohert four starting backs, although Minnesota got to Washington. 19-13 Minnesota was the second Big Ten team to fall to a coast conference club. Northwestern having lost 31-0 to Southern California. The coast's perfect 1952 record, however, is expected to be shattered by Michigan State when the powerful Spartans clash with OSC at Portland. Only a minor miracle could save the Web-foots, who were hard-pressed to defeat Utah 14-7 in their second outing. Santa Clara continues its big time intersectional schedule Saturday against Tulane and Assistant Coach Mike Searcy predicts the Broncos will win. "Naturally we weren't pleased losing to Kansas, 21-0." Searcy told the sports writers. "But I'll tell you we were mighty proud of the game we played. Our defensive line was down-right vicious." Scarry reported Quarterback Joel Clark, injured in the Stanford opener, and Halfback Bob Daddo hit in preseason practice both will make the trip to New Orleans. Bill Porry, assistant coach at San Jose State, said he looks for a high fencing game when the Spartans tangle with Arizona State at Tempe Saturday. Hampton Pool Replaces Ousted Joe Stydahar in Rami Coaching Shakeup LOS ANGELES (AP)—J. Hampton Pool, named to succeed Jumbo the Stydahar as coach of the Los Angeles Rams, says he has the personnel to win another championship. "I'm not saying we'll win it," pool hastened to explain, "but we have the men who can do it." Pool is the fifth pilot of the club since its National Football League franchise was moved Orange Coast And San Mateo Play Saturday Huntington Beach high school will be the scene of the Orange last college-San Mateo game Saturday night at 8 p.m. It will the third game for the Pirates Orange Coast who open theirue season Thursday night, Oct. against Mt. San Antonio at Huntington Beach. Weights show the teams to be early even with Ray Rosso's late defense 15 pounds heavier than the invaders, but his intensive club is 17 pounds later than the northerners. Al Chafe will start with the one unit in the backfield which is Muir, 7-2, and Harbor 20-0. here from Cleveland six years ago. He was appointed yesterday by owner Dan Reeves after Stydahar's resignation. Stydahar said Pool, whom he had selected as his assistant, wanted to run the club, "the whole works—his own way," and that he asked Reeves to intercede. Reeves, he said, refused to back him up. "I asked for a showdown and it went against me," said the massive Stydahar, one of the pro league's all-time great linemen. "It's probably good for the ball club, I'm glad I'm out." Stydahar received his 1952 salary of $15,000 plus $7500 as provided in the contract he signed after his Rams knocked over Cleveland last winter and won the world championship. He said his plans are uncertain, that coaching staffs are full and that he is not particularly interested in a college job. Pool told reporters he is going to bear down on the Rams, that he is going to be tough where Stydahar was easy going. "Show me the 10 top winning teams in the United States and I'll show you the 10 most hated coaches." Pool told newsmen at the Rams' first practice session under his guidance. The Rams face the Detroit Lions here Friday night. They'll be without their own star ends, Elroy Hirsch and Tommy Fears, who are nursing injuries. Los Angeles has lost four first pitch to Bauer and outside for a ball off the second pitch, Dutch Swimmer Might Enter Fullerton JC His name is Joop Cabout. He's a Holkinder and a championship swimmer. Championship swimmers are familiar around Fullerton junior college. It all adds up. Joop wrote to the secretary of the Amateur Athletic union of the United States. He wants to be a swimming instructor. Where in the United States could he go to learn? And so Jimmy Smith, ace swimming instructor at Fullerton junior college has a letter from Joop. Cabout, an outstanding water polo player, is 24 years of age, says the letter. He has played with the Dutch waterpolo team since 1946. He has been twice an Olympic games participant, at London in 1948 and Helsinki in 1952. In addition he participated in the European championships in 1948 at Monaco; the Trophea Italia in 1949 at Milan and Genoa; and the European championships again in 1950, at Vienna. Whether Cabout has the necessary educational requirements to enter Fullerton junior college is now the question. Robert C. Rockwell, registrar, has written to him asking for transcripts of his educational records. Willie Pep Hits Comeback Trail CHICAGO (AP) — Willie Pep, trying to hit the road back to the featherweight title at the age of 30, tangles with Canada's lightweight and multifunctional equipment. "Show me the 10 top winning teams in the United States and I'll show you the 10 most hated coaches," Pool told newsmen at the Rams' first practice session under his guidance. The Rams face the Detroit Lions here Friday night. They'll be without their own star ends, Elroy Hirsch and Tommy Fears, who are nursing injuries. Los Angeles has lost four straight games, including its first league contest Sunday to the Cleveland Browns. 37-7. Detroit regarded as one of the top teams in the western division, nevertheless was knocked off Sunday by the tough San Francisco '49ers.

Michigan Staters Smell Roses Even Though They Aren't Big 10 Memoirs EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Some of the dreamers among the Michigan State football followers already are stiffing a heady scent-Roses. They're looking forward to 1953, when the Michigan State Spartans finally will become official Big Ten football members and can enter the race for the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately for the Spartans, they aren't eligible this year. Michigan State, unbeaten last year and once-bestened in 1950, crumpled Michigan 27-13 in Saturday's opener and thus retained No. 1 rating in this week's Associated Press football poll. The win was Michigan State's 16th in a row. In conference play next year, Michigan State will meet Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue, Ohio State and Michigan. The Spartans won't have to bump heads with either Illinois or Wisconsin, two perennial powers of the conference. Although graduation will take its inevitable toll, Michigan Vanderbilt Filly Favored to Take Belmont Race NEW YORK (AP)—Alfred Vanderbilt's Next Move was the overnight favorite to win the $50,000-added Ladies Handicap today at Belmont park. Eleven filly and mares were entered for the 1½ mile event with Next Move under high weight of 129 pounds. Belmont announced 12 nominees for the $75,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup over the two mile route Saturday. The Gold Cup which will go for State still figures to be well loaded. Halfbacks Don McAulay, Vince Pisano and Fullback Benson and Dick Panin goode. But quarterback Tom will be a game-seasoned sacker you could already name of the starting backfield fences Leroy Bolden and Wells and Fullback Evans Coach Biggie Munn. 17 seniors that could do less classed as lettermen. But he lost as many tall and so far Michigan State seem to be hurting. It may seem premature there is some excuse for the tan fanatics to be looking for 1953 with rose colored gloves.

The nationally televised and broadcast 10 rounder will start at 7 p.m. PDT. Fiery little Pep owns one of the greatest boxing records in history: only five defeats in 174 pro bouts since 1940. Two of those defeats came in the last year. He was knocked out in the ninth round on Sept. 26, 1951, trying to regain his featherweight crown from Sandy Saddler. June 30, Pep was stopped in six by Tom Collins. He has five victories since the Collins scrap. Savole, a rugged battler, has won 34 fights; 20 by knockouts, lost 7 and fought four draws. The 24-year-old is shooting for a lightweight title bout with the winner of the Oct. 15 match in Chicago between Champion Lauro Salas and Jimmy Carter.

But quarterback Tom Wewcic will be a game-seasoned senior and you could already name the rest of the starting backfield from half-backs Leroy Bolden and Billy Wells and Fullback Evan Slonac. Coach Biggle Munt will lose 17 seniors that could definitely be classed as lettermen. But he lost as many this year, and so far Michigan State doesn't seem to be hurting. It may seem premature, but there is some excuse for the Spartan fanatics to be looking toward 1953 with rose colored glasses.
