Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Taking It Easy with TOM MARQUIS (Gazette Sports Editor) Last week at this time I hazarded a few predictions as to the outcome of several football games. I am sorry to say the results were not too startling. On the local scene I lost on Anaheim, who lost to Chaffey, which makes everybody but the Tigers unhappy. Another low blow was the final 14-0 score in the TCU-UCLA game, with the edge going to the Bruins. Looks like UCLA is going to take Stanford's place in the luck department this year. I still am unimpressed by the Bruins' play, but darned if they don't have a perfect score so far. Also in the loss department was a close one up at Bullman, Wash., where Stanford came through to beat Washington State 14-12. On the credit side, Cal did take Missouri, USC walloped vaunted Northwestern, Santa Ana beat the U.S. Naval Air Facility and my underdog-pick-of-the-week," Fullerton over Redlands, paid off. That makes a total of three wrong and four right and a percentage figure of about .572 correct. Thank heaven I didn't venture any money on my own predictions. For this week's predictions (wild guesses) I'll again say Anaheim will win. Might be better to say can. If their offense can just match last week's defense they'll do it. Also close to home, I'll go along with that Fullerton team. Those boys have played some sparkling ball an surprised a lot of people while doing it. They have the stuff to take El Camino with ease. I'll also say Santa Ana will win. They have done it in all their games so far. Long Beach is in for trouble. Away from the home front I'll pick Michigan over Stanford, Michigan State over Oregon State, California over Minnesota and Oregon over Idaho. I'll probably hate myself for this one, but I'm going against UCLA again. I say they'll lose to Washington. USC gets the nod over Army. The Trojans seem to be loaded for bear this year. Coach Jes Hill was reportedly dissatisfied with his team's 21-0 rout of Northwestern and will no doubt have his boys gunning for a real solid win for a change. I'll also say Santa Ana will win.

Coach Jes Hill was reportedly dissatisfied with his team's 21-0 rout of Northwestern and will no doubt have his boys gunning for a real solid win for a change. There will be another recap next week after the ax has fallen. It has reached that time of year again when baseball flares up for one final moment of glory before fading away for a short time. World Series fever has gripped baseball fans all over the nation, and even football addicts like myself are caught up in the swing of it in spite of ourselves. It is a time of excitement in the game of the present and a time of remembrance of baseball games and stars of days past. And that naturally brings to mind my personal baseball idol, Lou Gehrig. Gehrig was a star on the diamond and off—a sportsman and a man of rare courage. And he was a workhorse; the "Iron Man" they called him. That day in May, 1939, when Lou walked off the field after performing in 2130 straight games was the end of an era in baseball. I never saw him play, but I feel a warmth for the man that is as personal as if I had known him all my life. He was a great American. Pacific Coast Football Features Some Headline Games This Weekend Rams Try Again With New Coach LOS ANGELES UP—The National Football League in general and the local fans in particular will find out a lot tonight about the unpredictable defending champion Los Angeles Rams. The once spectacular Rams struck by an internal coaching fued that cost Joe Stydahar his job and elevated Hampton Pool to the position just last Monday, tangle with the power laden Detroit Lions. The game, starts at 8 p.m. in Memorial Coliseum. Tonight's game finds Detroit favored to hand another loss—the second league and fifth straight—on the Rams. Cleveland humiliated the champs, 37-7, Sunday. Physically, the Rams are far below par. At least six players are alling, including the two pass-catching ends, Tommy Bauer and Jake McGraw. SAN FFANCISCO UP—Pacific coast football comes up with some headliners tomorrow. Michigan hooks up with Stanford in Palo Alto in the nation's televised game of the week. Millions will have a chance to view it over the air. Upwards of 50,000 will see it first hand. Local odds-makers think Stanford, defending Pacific coast conference champion, is the better team by a point. Last year at Ann Arbor, Stanford beat its Big Ten rival, 23-13. Michigan State, tops in the Associated Press pre-season and first weekly polls, takes its No. 1 ranking to Portland for a meeting with Oregon State. The Spartans took Michigan 27-13 last week and will be strong favorites to flatten Oregon State, 14-7 winner over Utah in its opener. High powered Southern California is expected to beat Army at Los Angeles.

The Spartans took Michigan 27-13 last week and will be strong favorites to flatten Oregon State, 14-7 winner over Utah in its opener. High powered Southern California is expected to beat Army at Los Angeles. The Trojans walloped Washington State and Northwestern by impressive counts but Army looked ok in winning from South Carolina 28-7 last week. An important conference clash pits UCLA against Washington at Seattle. UCLA is a mild favorite but will have to defend against Washington's Don Heinrich, who pitched touchdown strikes in victories over Idaho and Minnesota. UCLA may not get full service from its alling tailback star, Paul Cameron. It holds a league win over Oregon and an intersectional one over Texas Christian. Oregon rates the call over Idaho in their conference game body and a '46 engine which had been rebuilt to deliver 360 horsepower. This car required more than eight months of work by Hill and partner. The record-breaking run was officially timed by AAA.

There's nothing personal between Billy Graham, 30, of New York, the challenger, and Champion Kid Gavilan, 26, Havana Negro, but they do have a lot to say about close decisions in their three previous fights. Officially, the score is two to one in Gavilan's favor, but there are many—Graham among them—who ray the New Yorker should have had the title after their New York fight Aug. 29, 1951. "Very sincerely," says Graham, "I won that fight. In fact, I think I won all three, but tomorrow night I'm going to make the victory so obvious nobody can question it." Gavilan is a slight favorite. But even the Cubans have been impressed by Graham's powerful punching, and his magnificent condition. Several times in workouts his sparring partners were knocked down. Gavilan had no such knockdowns. It will be Gavilan's fourth title defense. Football Picks SAN — FRANCISCO (AP)—Ruse Newland's football selection: FRIDAY Occidental over Santa Barbara by 6.

Ward will contions tomorrow night a Eager Colonists Play at Citrus Tonight Ankheim’s Colonists will be up against “a good team with fine spirit” when they tangle with Citrus in an away-from-home game tonight, according to head coach Clare Van Hoorebeke. The Colonists have been undergoing heavy drills in preparation for what they hope will be their first winning game. Having dropped hard fought contests to Redlands and Chaffey, the Blue and Gold team is eager for a win. Tapered Off As usual, they tapered off yesterday afternoon, figuratively speaking. It was the usual long ball handling drill in game jerseys. The team didn’t leave the practice field until nearly dark. Colonist Line, Coach John Wallin says the team is in much better shape than they have been for some time, with many players fairly off the injury list. Phil Wright, who played a fine game at halfback last week, has had a cast on his leg and won’t be available for tonight’s contest. Aaron Peralta will suit up, but in all probability will not play. The good news is that Jim Roberts may play in tonight’s game. Coach Wallin said the rugged full-back should be back at his old position. Loaded with Lettermen Anahi faces a Citrus team that has about 20 returning lettermen. Cougar Coach Blas Mercurio has said this is a team which “could go all the way” to a championship. His squad has beaten Downey 26-0 and has been beaten by Pasadena 12-6. 19 meet the heavily lettered Cougar offense. Anaheim coaches with send John Wright, Bud Brown, Mike Troop, Bob Padilla, Jim Sterba, Sam Azzara, Don Switzler, Hank Herrera, Mickey Gouyd, Dean Philpott on Jim Roberts, and Tom Berg into the fray. On otterseason they plan to use Berg and Troop at guards, Bolselman at center, De Grof and Padilla at tackles, Azzara and Switzler at ends, Gouyd, Roberts and Philpott at backs, and Gayle Herbel or Paul Grover at quarter. SC Favored Over ‘Wrecked’ Army Squad LOS ANGELES (AP)—Army’s 44-man football squad, the first ever to encamp in Los Angeles, scheduled a light drill today in Memorial coliseum, where tomorrow it encounters the Southern California Trojans. Coach Earl Red Blaik’s Cadet aggregation, still on the road back from its wrecking in the cribbing scandal last year, figures as a two-touchdown underdog. But Jess Hill, headman of the Trojans, made it plain he is not underestimating Army or its reuperative powers. His assistant, Don Clark, scouted Army’s sparkling win over South Carolina and came back loaded with information. “The team is fast. It plays fast, and above all, it plays an aggressive brand of football. None should take this team lightly. It would be a grave mistake.” The Trojans toyed with West Point in the mud at New York last year, winning 28-6. Blakus has about 22 lettermen back but certainly lacks the reserve depth possessed by the over laden men of Troy. Directing the T-attack will be... Dodgers' Beautiful Dream Blasted By Merciless New York Yankees By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (UP)—Anyway, it was a beautiful dream the Dodgers had while it lasted, and the feeling remains strong that they would give the Yankees a fit if Joe Black could pitch every day. As it is, Manager Chuck Dresen's shocked athletes probably will do well to carry the series to six games. You do not recover easily from such a belaboring as Mickey Mantle, Billy Martin, Vic Raschi and their mates dealt out in the second game. It was brutal. Cold and Merciless The score—7-1—was one-sided enough, but it was more the manner in which the American leaguers went about the execution, cold and merciless as ever when the big money is on the line. Raschi, as mean a looking pitcher as there is in the game, was hurlitating in his mastery through the final six innings. Down in their hearts, when it was over, the Dodgers must have realized that they were overmatched, that they had no such breath-taking young star on their side as Mantle, the 20-year-old wonder from Oklahoma, and that they were certain in the end to be betrayed by their shortage of really fine pitching. Still Capable The picture could change again today, of course. Preacher Roe, the thin man from Ida, Ark, still capable on occasion of pitching a whale of a ball game, and the deep expanses of Yankee stadium are ideal for an old timer. Tennis Juniors Represented at Net Tourney Six of Anaheim's tennis juniors will represent the Anaheim Tennis club and the Anaheim Recreation department at the Eighth Annual Pasadena Junior Tennis Championships which start tomorrow on the Pasadena Junior college courts. Play will continue Oct. 4-5, 11-12-13. With 15 different singles and doubles divisions of competition, including every classification from the 11 year old boy's and girl's singles through the 18 year old groups, Pasadena annually attracts one of the largest junior entries in Southern California. Jean Williams and Rita Flynn will compete in the girls' division with information. "The team is fast. It plays fast, and above all, it plays an aggressive brand of football. None should take this team lightly. It would be a grave mistake." The Trojans toyed with West Pollin in the mud at New York last year, winning 28-6. Blaik has about 22 lettermen back but certainly lacks the reserve depth possessed by the over laden men of Troy. Directing the T-attack will be sophomore Pete Vann, 180-pounder who led the Cadets last week. Halfbacks Freddie Meyers, 200, and Johnny Wing, 175, are perhaps the best offensive threats behind Vann, along with the starting fullback, Paul-Schwelkert, 178. The Trojans may miss one of their best ball carriers, Al Carmichael, because of injuries, but Hill has plenty more. He picked Kudy Bukich, the best passer and an improving runner, for the tailback position, and Lindon Crow for the right, or wingback spot. Leon Sellers probably will get the fullback call and either Bill-Riddle or Charley Anz, a merger 256 pounds, the blocking back. USC can field a line that averages 208 to Army's 193, and an overall team average of 197 to 189. Defensively, USC has loomed large in defeating Washington State and Northwestern. Hill says he is not disappointed with his offense but "We have a long way to go with it."
