Sports Roundup BY GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (P)—Meet some of the football players you will see on your TV screen Saturday when Texas A&M is the guests of Michigan State at East Lansing, Mich. We will introduce you first to Johnny Wilson of Michigan State. His number is 45. He is 21 years old, 6-feet tall and weighs 163. His position is defensive halfback. Off the football field Wilson is listed among the honor students in journalism and he also is president of the senior class which numbered 2200. Michigan State is one of the larger brain factories with an enrollment of 13,800. In fact, Wilson is such an all-around man on the campus that he is a candidate for Rhodes Scholar. Athletic and scholastic achievements are the main requirements for a Rhodes Scholarship, which entitles the winner to do graduate work at Oxford University. Coach Biggie Munn says Wilson is probably the surest tackling, quickest thinking defense back we have. Today's football in a game of chess—at high speed. Dullards only mess up the works." Wilson however, isn't the only scholar on the Michigan State team, currently rated the second best in the land. Thirteen members of the squad are B students. Among these are Ferris Hallmark 55, defensive guard, a pre-med student; Defensive end Ed Luke 55, who sparkles in business administration; and Doug Weaver 54, who sets his high grades in literature and foreign languages. Now for some of the Texas A&M giants. Herb Scott 24, another defensive halfback, has a better than B average in mechanical engineering at the Texas school, which is patterned along the lines of West Point. Copper Press with the study of solids. Ben Sinclair 85, plays a slick game at end but he also is better than average in the classroom where his grades are B plus in petroleum engineering. Perhaps what will impress you most about the Texans is their size. No. 81 is Darrow Hooper, an end. This summer he won second place for the United States in the shot put at the Olympic Games. He stands a relaxed 6-3 and displaces 225 pounds. Jack Little 78 is a tackle. He also is 6-3 and is two pounds heavier. Except for the guards the Texas line averages about 6-2 and 220 pounds. The guards, Marvin Tate 66 and Sid Therio, are 195-pound mites. TAKING IT EASY with TOM MARQUIS (Gazette Sports Editor) Once over lightly on the football predictions for the week—I'll have to turn my back on old Anahi this week. I've stuck by them to my sorrow once too often. This time I'll go along with Los Vegas and hope that will break the Colonist's non-winning jinx. Santa Ana draws a bye this week, so I get a breather along with them. Fullerton looks good to me for a win over Chaffey. The game will be played in Ontario. Orange Coast college met Mt. San Antonio college at the Huntington Beach High school field last night, so along with Santa Ana they are eliminated from the predictions. County football will be at a minimum this weekend and fans will have to journey to the city or tune in the television or radio to get their eridron thrills. CONTACT WORK—Clerk hard this week to pep experienced Las Vegas 'Cats have won three U.S. Can C WASHINGTON (P)—The national Boxing Association Marine Gridders Are Kept Busy Between Games SAN DIEGO—It’s education in the morning and football in the afternoon for the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot gridders this season. The current impression among football followers that the athletes just be around or sleep in on the days they have practice just doesn’t hold true for the members of the 1952 Devildogs. The program set up here at the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot is in line with the successful policy of the Marine Corps to keep all its members, even those on barracks duty, up to date on combat techniques and the book learning connected with being a “soldier of the sea”. The football squad, except for those who have regularly assigned jobs, go to class each morning during the week. In these classes they learn the basic military subjects and principles of leadership. It is a 13-week course involving non-comissioned officer indoctrination, leadership, close order drill courses on military courtesy and discipline, sanitation in the field and barracks, fire team tactics, and scouting and patrolling. The gridders will learn the functioning of the .45 calibre pistol, the BAR, the Carbine, and the M-1 rifle. They will also receive instructions in interior guard, platoon tactics, and cold weather tactics. The Recruit Depot gridiron warriors are defending champs for the All-Marine title and are favored to repeat in 1952. State Faces Huge Losses from Waterfowl Damage By JIM THOMAS SAN FRANCISCO — California agriculture and sportsmen faced by a possible return to the days of million dollar crop losses, renewed pledges of cooperation in development of the California waterfowl conservation program this week. The action was taken at the reorganization meeting of the state-wide joint wildlife management committee, made up of agricultural representatives, major sportmen's groups, the fish and game department and the U.S. fish and wildlife service. Lugene B. Bennett, San Francisco attorney, was the unanimous choice of the committee as chairman, with Clay McGowan, Butte county rice grower, vice chairman, and Bob Handley, farm bureau representative, secretary. Yesterday's meeting considered actions to avoid further crop damage from the hundreds of thousands of pintail ducks already in the central valleys from the Alaskan marches, and the additional bottles of birds which will move south from the lower Klamath-Tule lake refugees, when the freeze comes there. Dr. A. W. Word speaking for the Buck Hunters association of California warned that should an sandhose die the waterfowl off the northern refugees, one of the greatest waterfowl crop damage problems in the history of the state could develop. Phil G. Larner, president of the Sutter Basin corporation, told the committee the rice harvest is barely under way in the northern Sacramento rice area and that the danger period for farmers there will run until the end of this month. California fish and game director, Seth Gordon, and Paul Quick, assistant regional director of the U.S. fish and wildlife service, said all floddable areas on state and federal refuge lands, and some private areas, have been or are being flooded to make waterfowl poode. All the feed the ducks can eat is being spread on refuges now, if it was reported by Ben Glading, chief of the game management branch, fish and game department. Gliding said the feeding would continue until the emergency had passed. Quick was commissioned to check into the possibility of obtaining feed from the Commodity Credit corporation, and arranged to send communications of emergency to the interior and agriculture departments in Washington. The committee also voted to ask fish and wildlife service director, Albert Day, to extend the hunting season white fronted and white going to the end of January to prevent deparadations from increased numbers of those cities. Agricultural representation agreed present efforts to prevent crop damage appeared to be that can be done, but urged the development of waterfowl refuges both by the state and federal agencies be speeded up. Ernest Hatch, Glenn county grower, pointed out instances what he termed inadequate farming practices on state and federal refuges. It was pointed out that the creek depredation problem in the Imperial valley, where the rising Sierra Nevada has almost totally destroyed the federal and state waterfowl refuges totaling more than 24,000 acres, will be particularly acute next January and February. Everett Horne, coordinator of the California wildlife conservation board, told the committee preliminary negotiations had been undertaken to acquire needed new feed and refuge lands in the Santa sea area and he would return shortly to complete arrangements. J. M. Winton of Freeso, representing the San Joaquin Grasslands association, told the committee emergency feeding operations in the Dos Palos area has been totally successful in averting crop losses. Gazette SPORTS CONTACT WORK—Colonist gridders worker hard this week to prepare for a fast and experienced Las Vegas Wildcat team.

U.S. Can Claim only Four Boxing Champs WASHINGTON (AP)—The National Boxing Association today served that only four of the eight world champions are from the United States. And it pointed out that the way things are going it isn't likely that U.S. will improve its position. The observation came in a news case accompanying the NBA's fiercely rating of the world's leading boxers. Among the big boys, this country is doing okay. Heavyweight champ: Rocky Marciano. No. 1 challenger: Jerry Joe Walcott, followed by Alex Layne and Ezzard Charles. The top eight heavyweights by the NBA are from the United States. Not until you reach Johnny Dillahms, who gets an honorable mention, do you find a foreigner from England. The same situation prevails with the light heavies, Joey Jim is the champ, with Archie Moore and Harry Matthews the final contenders.

But starting with the middleweights, and working down the weight scale, the situation changes rapidly. Ray Robinson is middleweight champion. But right below him is the man who once beat him and briefly held his title, Randy Turpin of England. Kid Gavilan of Cuba is welterweight king, Lauro Salas of Mexico rules the lightweight, Vic Towel of South Africa is champion of the bantamweights, and little Yoshio Shirai, Japan's first world boxing champion, tops the flyweights. Sandy Saddler breaks this foreign hold on the lighter weights, being the feather champ. But the NBA rates his No. 1 challenger as Ray Famechon of France. In this country the heavyweights have always claimed the main interest. The NBA is trying to drum up more interest in the little fellows, but its own ratings show it's a tough job. It suggests that Pappy Gault of South Carolina fight Fernando Gagnon of Canada in a bantam-weight bout to see who should challenge Toweel. But 10 names precede Gagnon's on the list of fine bantams, and Gagnon is a notch ahead of Gault. Porky Oliver Shatters Par in Tourney Opening RENO (AP)—A record breaking field of 275 golfers, led by par-shattering Ed Porky Oliver and Smiley Quick, tee off today in the second round of the $7500 Northern California-Reno pro-amateur tournament.

Johnson and Jim Cox corporation of S372 Orange ave., Anaheim. Blue and Gold Tries Again Bruins Take on Second Texas Foe in Coliseum LOS ANGELES (AP)—Coach Red Sanders' Bruins of UCLA take their second whack of the season at a southwest conference team tomorrow and are favored to defeat Rice Institute and make it two in a row. The thumping Bruins shut out Texas Christian university, 14-0, two weeks ago, and appeared ready to defeat this new threat from the Lone Star state. Rice got off to a good start with a 34-7 win over Texas Tech, but a Louisiana State Jax prevailed last week and the Owls bowed, 7-27. This is the first match between the Bruins and Rice, and the first duel between Sanders and Coach Jess Neely, both products of Vanderbilt university. Rice employs the straight Tformation attack, with Quarterback Dan Drake, a 6-foot-2, 190-pounder from Fort Worth, the key man. Bill Ed Daniels, 168, and Carl Johnson, 179, were named as the starting halfbacks, with David Kosse Johnson, fleet 176 pounder at fullback. Drake threw 11 touchdown strikes last year and is the fourth straight star passer the Bruins have faced this season. Hal Dunham, Oregon; Ray McKown, TCU; and Don Heinrich, Washington, were the others. Once again Sanders will alternate the tailback position in his single wing between Paul Cameron and Ted Narleski. Cameron is still on the lame side with an ankle injury, and Narleski broke his nose last week. Colonists Meet Fast, Experienced Las Vegas Team in Nevada Tonight Anaheim's Colonist football team will try again tonight to break the non-winning streak that has plagued them all season. The Colonists will meet a fast and fancy Las Vegas High school team in the desert city tonight. The Blue and Gold team left for Las Vegas at 7 a.m. this morning. They face one of the toughest tests on their gridiron schedule. Speed seems to be the hallmark of this year's Wildcat team. They can boast the services of two state track champions, Wilbur Harris, state 100-yard dash champ, and Elmer Cotton, state 440-yard king. In addition to speed, the Colonists will face some hard-charging runners who have compiled outstanding yard-gaining percentages in their four earlier contests. Cotton is the top Wildcat ball carrier, knocking off better than 100 yards per game in the first three games played. He gained an average of 13.2 yards per carry in those contests. Not far behind is Fullback Robin Hill who has racked up an average of 10 yards per carry. Back Dick Pribble can boast an 8.6 average and Speedy Wilbur Harris has a respectable 7.6 mark. This is just a sampling of what the Colonists are up against. To meet this threat, the Blue and Gold has been working diligently all week long to tighten up their defense and to put together an offensive combination that can punch across the goal line for a score. In last week's game with Citrus, the Colonists had three scoring chances and failed to capitalize on any of them for a score. Coach John Wallin said his linemen have looked good in this week's practice sessions, but of the starting nod tonight. Injuries are still a factor in the Colonist scheme of things, as they have been all season, but the coaches hope they can find a combination that will click. They have to field a team that can slow down a speedy offense and can work against an experienced defense. Las Vegas has won three out of their first four games. This bodes ill for the victory-hungry Colonists. Southern Cal Meets Rough, Tough Navy Team LOS ANGELES (AP)—The University of Southern California football team, with two important conference games coming up, will tune up tonight at 8:30 p.m. in Memorial coliseum against the San Diego Naval Training Center. The tune-up could prove sour adventure for the Trojans, because the Bluejackets can field a world of talent and quite likely whip the collegians if they feel so inclined. Last year the sailors apparently didn't feel so inclined and took a 41-7 lambasting from the Trojans. Coaches Jess Hill of USC and Comdr. Tay Brown of the Tars are old ex-Trojans and personal friends, but both gave assurance they are out to win. Drake threw 11 touchdown strikes last year and is the fourth straight star passer the Bruins have faced this season. Hal Dunham, Oregon; Ray McKown, TCU, and Don Heinrich, Washington, were the others. Once again Sanders will alternate the tailback position in his single wing between Paul Cameron and Ted Narleski. Cameron is still on the lame side with an ankle injury, and Narleski broke his nose last week. Don Stalwick and Cappy Smith round out the other offensive positions behind blocking back Lewis Williams. The Bruins have the best rushing defense in the Pacific coast conference, but the next worst passing defense, however, they have successfully throttled Heinrich, McKown and the other throwers as far as scoring is concerned. Each team boasts unusually good linebackers — giant Donn Moomaw and 178 pound Terry DeBay, for UCLA, and Don Rhoden and Leo Rucka, a pair of 200-pounders, for the Owls. THE S.Q.R.
