Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK (NY) — There is a possibility that the most interesting college football result of the season up to this time—Army 37, Dartmouth 7—was widely overlooked by fans absorbed in the profligious feats of such gridiron roblatha as Michigan State and Maryland.
Off this one victory the Cadets do not, of course, leap back to their long accustomed place among the nation's elite, but it would seem to indicate that Coach Karl Blakke is far ahead of schedule in rebuilding his wrecked forces. Those who figured it would require three or four years for the military academy to recover from the ravages of its wholesale expulsion in the summer of 51 vastly underated the redhead's coaching ability.
Dartmouth is no football power-free yet on the Saturday before playing Andy the Big Green displayed a defense.
Bud Wilkinson
Chosen to Coach
All-Star Squad
LOS ANGELES—Bud Wilkinson, head football coach, University of Oklahoma, has accepted the invitation of Paul Stupin, general manager of the college all-star squad, to coach the collegians in the seventh annual Hula bowl games played in Hawaii. The games will be played on the 4th and 11th of January, 1953.
The famed Nooner mentor, coach of the year in 1949 and 1950, will present his split information for the first time, to Hawaii's football public.
Stanach enough to hold Penn to 26 yards by rushing and the Quakers since have snapped Princeton's long winning streak. Before the whistle blew at West Point, the game was considered a tossup.
What the Cadets, led by yearling named Pete Vann from Hamburg, N.Y., did to the Greenvies in a wild first half has been duly recorded, but it might bear brief repeating. Five of the first seven times that Blakke's amazing youngsters got the ball they whirled down the field for touchdowns. The sixth sustained march ended in a fumble at the goal line but produced a safety against Darlmouth.
This all happened in the first 25 minutes of the contest and turned into a 27-0 rout.
"Actually, we're not nearly that good," Blakke insisted by phone from the Point. "Dartmouth made a lot of mistakes to let my boys get started. I have to admit that once they started they went like a prairie fire. But don't let it fool you."
"Naturally I'm mighty pleased with them at the moment. This will make them a better team and I think our game with Pittsburgh might be a great one. Don't go picking us to win, though, on the strength of that one outburst."
Very well, we won't, but the fact remains that this sounds suspiciously like those Army teams or the Blanchard-Davis era, and later which made a practice of paralyzing the opposition in the first half dozen plays. It is a sort of Blakke trademark, his pouring it on at the outset of a game.

LOS ANGELES—Bud Wilkinson, head football coach, University of Oklahoma, has accepted the invitation of Paul Stupin, general manager of the college all-star squad, to coach the collegians in the seventh annual Hula bowl games played in Hawaii. The games will be played on the 4th and 11th of January, 1953.
The famed Boomer mentor, coach of the year in 1949 and 1950, will present his split information for the first time, to Hawaii's football public.
These games, played annually for the benefit of the Elks milk fund, feature the top senior collegiate stars against the all-Hawaii Stars. The all-Hawaii Stars are selected from the islands' strongest amateur football teams.
The Hula bowl games are always played after the New Year's day bowl games. This enables the stars of the bowl games to make the annual trip to the Paradise of the Pacific.
The Westwood Sporting club, Inc., is the mainland organization handling the selection of the college seniors for these annual games. According to general manager, Paul Stupin, invitations for the all-star squad will be made as the season progresses.

Horsemen Have High Praise for Alamitos Track
LOS ALAMITOS — Trainers and riders alike were unanimous in their praise today of the Los Alamitos race course's completely rebuilt racing strip.
The track, relocated 50 feet south to make room for a $100,000 program of improvement and expansion for the 16-day all quarter horse meeting Oct. 29 through Nov. 15, was opened for training this morning for the first time and the horses were quiet to put it to use.
Eddie Moreno, top trainer of quarter horses in the state, summed up the feeling of the horsemen with the remark that it was not only "safer, but faster" than last year, and that is something for last year two world records were set on the Los Alamitos course.
John Hazelwood who trains Finley ranches' world record holder, Little Egypt, was particularly pleased with the "cushion" on the new track and this was seconded by Frank Garcia, conditioner for Leo Lopez's Miss Tacabuya and Midnight Charge, a couple of real swifties who will be heard from during the meeting.
The only race meeting in the Southland this fall, the 16-day quarter horse session gets under way two weeks from today with racing six days a week, eight races daily and nine on Saturdays and holidays.
Orange Coast Pirates Sail to San Bernardino Friday on Raiding Trip
Orange Coast college will attempt to bounce back into the eastern conference championship race, which is rapidly taking shape Friday night as they invade San Bernardino in hopes of snapping the Indians' 14-game winning streak.
The Pirates will enter the game as underdogs as a result of their scorching at the hands of Mt. San Antonio last Thursday night.

Bernardino Friday on Raiding Trip
Orange Coast college will attempt to bounce back into the eastern conference championship race, which is rapidly taking shape Friday night as they invade San Bernardino in hopes of snapping the Indians' 14-game winning streak.
The Pirates will enter the game as underdogs as a result of their scorching at the hands of Mt. San Antonio last Thursday night in the first league game of the season. Chaffey is at Riverside in the only other Friday night game, while Santa Ana invades Mt. San Antonio Saturday night and Fullerton hosts El Toro the game night.
Ray Rooso's Pirates will be out to scalp Clyde William's Indians who, while being impressive, haven't proved impossible. Compton tied them and San Diego held them 29-10. Orange Coast racked up three straight convincing wins before suffering the setback last week and many observers believe that was a result of the Pirates looking ahead to the Indian crucial.
San Bernardino has all but three members of last year's first string back. Lost through graduation were all conference nominees John Rushing, end, and Tim Vanick, fullback. All American Willie Nims was drafted. Don Meyer will operate the Indians "T" machine and will match wits against Coast's "T" operator, Paul Chafe; likewise a two year vet. Perry Jeter will lead the Indian attack from the right half slot. He is a hard runner and a capable passer.
Coast's offense will be multiplied with John Steinborn, Wayne Braga and Jim Hagey all sharing ball carrying duties. Chafe does most of the passing but Steinborn and Braga may throw some.
The game will feature a duel between two defensive combinations. Al Muniz anchors Coast's wall at 267 pounds while John Trivonovich is the Indian mainstay at 270 pounds. Trivonovich's club outweighs Muniz's 222-217. The Indians' offensive team averages 181 to Coast 180.
LOS ANGELES (P)—Halfback Paul Cameron of UCLA, handicapped though he is by an ankle and a shoulder injury, apparently is destined to play in the North tailback position against S.Ford here Saturday.
BEARING THE BRUNT—Meeting head on with the El Toro team Friday night will be this offensive forward wall of Fullerton JC. The Hornets will use the services of (from left to right above): Bill Foster, Bob Johnson, Paul Torena, Vance Baldwin, Wayne Payne, John Crawford and Ronnie Smith in an attempt to keep their winning streak going.

Jimmy Carter Will Try to Retake Brown He Lost to Salas Tonight
HICAGO (P)—Jimmy Carter, running fisted New York Negro, is to repeat the feat of another weight of a dozen years ago recapture the 135 pound from Lauro Salas tonight. Carter will try to emulate Lou Berbers, who lost the title to Erry Armstrong in 1928 and it back the next year.
Other lightweight has ever scraped promises to sizzle start to finish and run a 15 rounds. Only 5000 or so customers are rated at ringside, which would be the smallest turnout for a title ever promoted by the International Boxing club. The Chicago stadium attraction will be televised and broadcast nationally starting at 10 p.m., EST.
Each fighter will receive nearly $10,000 as his share of television receipts. This sum should far overshadow their 30-30 split of a gate not expected to exceed $25,000.
A big Latin following will be on hand to cheer the 25-year-old champion. The confident little mauler from Los Angeles via Monterey is boxing's first bona fide Mexican titleholder.
While compiling a record of 45 victories, 20 losses and six draws, Salas has never been knocked out. Usually a slow starter, he opens up with explosive flurries at the close of each round. He is a hard-shooter, somewhat wild, and has scored 18 knockouts.
Salas finished strongly in defeating Carter for the 135-pound crown five months ago in Los Angeles. He is confident his mauling style will again take care of his 28-year-old rival.
Carter, the more polished clever fighter, likes to mix it up. This is his third meeting with Salas. The Mexico hero was beaten in their first battle although dropping Carter in the 15th round by catching the little Negro off balance rather than with a staggering blow.
Carter rules a 2-1 favorite. He has kayoed 21 foes in winning 58 fights, losing 13 and drawing one. Like Salas, he has never been flattened. He has fought only once since losing his crown while Salas has kept busy scoring four victories, each by a knockout within five rounds.
There is no rematch clause in their contract for tonight's bout. If Salas loses, there are reports he will go after the featherweight title. He has done most of his campaigning in that division and will weigh in at about 131 pounds, four less than the lightweight limit packed by Carter.
Fullerton High Meets Orange in Sunset Opener
First of a five game series of Sunset league football games opens this Friday evening when Fullerton's Indians meet Orange at Orange. Huntington Beach plays Santa Ana at the county seat, and Anaheim tackles Newport Harbor at the coast city.
Orange Panthers have won none of their pre-league games this year, and racked up only 20 points against competitors' 60. Fullerton, on the other hand, has lost three pre-league contests and won one, to tally 25 points against 53 for opponents.
Varsity scores in practice games employing Coach Joe Merlo's Tformation for the first time, were Fullerton 13, Montebello 6; Fullerton 6 Whittier 20; Fullerton 0, Monrovia 14; and Fullerton 6, South Pasadena 13.
Fullerton's Bee football team has a pre-league score of two wins and two losses, victories over Monrovia and South Pasadena and losses to Montebello and Whittier. Point score for all games is 52 for Fullerton compared with 59 for opponents.
The Indian Cee team has dropped all its pre-league contests to Whittier, Monrovia and Alambra by a margin of 32 to 6 points.
Brave junior varsity games have resulted in two wins, over Whittier and Pomona, and one loss to Brea. Total point score: Fullerton 32 points to opponents' 40.
Following the varsity game with Orange Friday, other Sunset contests will be with Huntington Beach in Fullerton stadium Friday, Oct. 24, during homecoming celebration; with Newport in Fullerton on Oct. 31; with Anaheim there on Nov. 8, and at Santa Ana on Nov. 14.
LOS ANGELES (P)—Right Half-back Lindon Crow is a doubtful starter for Southern California against Oregon State and may be replaced by Aramis Dandoy, a sophomore.
Sensational Substitute is His Own Worst Enemy; He’s Just Too Good
EUGENE, Ore. (P)—George Shaw, a somewhat sensational 19-year-old, has cracked two foot-chance on offense last week, starting him at quarterback against strong California.
Sensational Substitute is His Own Worst Enemy; He’s Just Too Good
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — George Shaw, a somewhat sensational 19-year-old, has cracked two football records and still cannot land a regular position on the University of Oregon team.
In a way it’s George’s own fault. It’s like this:
He broke into the lineup last year when freshmen were allowed to compete in the coast conference. Used almost entirely on defense, he played the safety position in such style that he made the conference all-star team and set a national collegiate record by intercepting 13 passes.
Then Coach Len Casanova gave this fast, 6-foot-1-inch player his chance on offense last week, starting him at quarterback against strong California.
Shaw promptly set another record, throwing 50 passes and completing 23 for a conference mark.
So will he be the No. 1 quarterback?
"I’m not even sure I will start him” said Casanova, explaining George is just too versatile. Too versatile, that is, to be anchored at any one position on a team that has limited manpower and a record of one win against three losses.
“George is also an excellent pass receiver and a good halfback. We may save him for spot plays at halftack. And then he’s valuable on defense. We may play him there some games. It depends on the other team, and what the situation is.”
Shaw, who is to Oregon what Billy Goodman is to the Boston Red Sox, may not even start against Washington Saturday at Seattle in a game that is expected to be the coast’s big passing duel of the season. Washington’s passer is Don Heinrich, the 1950 standout who held the coast record of 21 completions in a single game until Shaw cracked it.
If Shaw does not start Hal Dunhaw, a senior who has an impressive passing record of his own, will be at quarterback.
“We started George against California because California rushes hard and George is fast and can maneuver better. But that doesn’t take anything away from Hal. He can throw some, too,” Casanova said.
So Shaw may be back at his role of sensational substitute, keeping Washington jump and trying to figure out where he will bob up next—at safety, halfback, or quarterback.
Jefferson Drops Game to Horace Mann Team 18-6
Thomas Jefferson school dropped a hard fought football game to Horace Mann yesterday 18-6 at the city park field.
Horace Mann scored in the first quarter on a pass from Robert Godoy to Rudy Delacruz who later raided back to Godoy who legged it 73 yards to a touchdown. The conversion was not good and Mann led 6-0 at half time.
Godoy, the star of the day, scored again in the third quarter on a 60-yard jaunt, and racked up another tally for his team in the final quarter on a pass interception that was good for another 60 yards and a TD.
Jefferson’s lone tally came in the final period when Gary Rampler sprinted 55 yards on a double reverse. Some nice blocking by his teammates cleared the way for the touchdown.
Colonists Start League Play on Friday
League play for Anaheim’s Colonists begins Friday night at 8 p.m. when the local team journeys to Newport for a contest with Newport high. Anaheim, the defending Sunset league champions, will have their work cut out for them in their attempt to hang on to the title for the second time running. So far, the Colonists have failed to win any of their games, and even their scoring ability has lagged.
The locals managed to get six points in their opening game with Redlands, then went scoreless for two games before getting another point. They made a better showing against Las Vegas, picking up two TD's against a strong team.
Whether this means they have improved enough offensively to win their remaining games is yet to be seen.
Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke feels his boys have improved offensively in every game so far. If they continue this steady improvement it could mean more success on the gridiron for the Colonists.
Van wasn't as happy with his defensive team’s play against Las Vegas. The defensive unit has usually made the better showing in outings this season, but they slipped a little Friday night. Van felt. He said they would have to show definite improvement if they are going to stop Newport.
The Harbor team has a fine runner and passer in quarterback, Bonnie Pulaski, and his efforts are backed up by a couple of good halfbacks and a big line. The Newport line has a couple of tackles who weigh in at better than 195 pounds, the Colonist head coach said, and their guards weigh 185 and 210 respectively. The ends weigh about 165, which gives the team a nice balance of power and speed.
The Colonists will be without the services of End Sammy Azzara. Sammy was banged up badly enough in the Vegas game to require surgery on a broken four touchdown attempts by Las Vegas single handed."
End Don Swittler, who is "coming along very well."
