2 Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1932 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Sports Roundup BY GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (P) — Ezzard Charles, the cautious pugilist, starts back up the long comeback trail this coming Friday night when he fights Oscar Brion, a big awkward galoot from the Argentine at Madison Square Garden. Ezzard figures to win this one without too much trouble. Almost everyone over voting age has beaten Brion at one time or another. But in Ezzard's particular case, a simple victory will not be enough and he knows it. If the former heavyweight champion is to become one of the foremost contenders for Rocky Marciano's title, he must win one impressively, preferably by a knockout. The situation really is a very peculiar one. The Cincinnati Negro has proved on occasion that he comes close to being a great fighter. Actually, he won the crown back from Jersey Joe Walcott in their last meeting at Philadelphia at several million televiewers can telegraph. Just about the only one who didn't think Ezzard deserved the decision were the officials, and they had the vote. And now, such a short time later, Charles finds himself on the outer fringe, striving desperately to get back in the running. A purely personal hunch here is that no matter what he does, Ezzard will never get a shot at Marciano. On a given night, Ezzard might cut Rocky into ribbons. The men who guide the next champion's destinies are among the smartest in the business. They will make few mistakes. Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, playing captain of the American Davis cup tennis team, is scheduled to leave for New Zeland and Australia within a few days, and there still seems to be some uncertainty about who is going with him. Though no official announcement has been made, our information is that Straight Clark of Los Angeles probably will be on the plane with Seixas. Ham Richardson, the former junior champion from Baton Rouge, will not leave for Sydney until late in November. So far only Seixas and Richardson have been named on the team. It has been taken more or less for granted that Tony Trabert would be given another leave of absence from the navy to help challenge the Aussies for the cup. Yankees Garner Loads of Gold In Series Split NEW YORK (P)—The old saying that a Yankee uniform changes a ball player is correct—it changes him from a poor man to a rich one. Red Patterson, New York Yankee publicity director, today turned out figures to prove that playing for the Yankees was almost as good as owning an oil well. The figures showed that since 1921, the Yankees' first pennant year, members have earned $3,-184 extra per season in World Series cuts. In the 32-year span the Yanks have won 19 pennants, 15 world championships and $3,265,698 in series cuts.

California, its high scoring offense led by torpedo-like John Olszewski, is No. 4 in the Associated Press poll of the nation's top teams. USC, No. 7, is one of the top defensive teams in the nation. Navy Defense Fails to Stop Maryland Team COLLEGE PARK, Md. (P) — Maryland and Navy, their guns still smoking from Saturday's vicious encounter, probably have ended their bitter football rivalry for many years. So pleased with Terrapin supporters with the manner in which Maryland manhandled the Midshipmen, $8-7, they began comparing this club with the fabulous powerhouse of last season. Saturday's swamping of Navy, supposedly on its way back to gridiron glory, was a rout of the team with the second best defensive record in the nation. Navy had allowed Yale, Cornell and William and Mary an average of only 121-3 yards a game. Maryland rolled for 128 in its first two touchdown drives and for 439 all told. Seven players were ejected from the heated rib cracking battle—four Midshipmen and three Marylanders. But Tatum and Navy coach Eddelatz both attributed this to hard, rather than dirty, playing. "My boys gave it all they had," said Erdelatz, "but they were beaten by a great football team." Tatum seemed as pleased as a high school coach with his first victory, instead of one of the nation's best college pilots whose boys had just extended their unbeaten string to 17. The teams are not scheduled for 1953. Navy officials have indicated they are not interested in resuming hostilities for sometime. FJC Gridirder Plays for Army Army Cpl. Gordon L. Steward, former Fullerton junior college football player, is now playing one. Red Patterson, New York Yankee publicity director, today turned out figures to prove that playing for the Yankees was almost as good as owning an oil well. The figures showed that since 1921, the Yankees' first pennant year, members have earned $1,184 extra per season in World Series cuts. In the 32-year span the Yanks have won 19 pennants, 15 world championships and $3,265,098 in series cuts. In addition, the Yanks have finished second six times, third five times and fourth once to swell the gravity to a grand total of $3,525,809. The only time the Yanks failed to whack up additional dollars was in 1925 when they came in seventh. Based on the usual 35-man split each year, the extra gold averaged $3148 per man. Coach Frank Crosetti, the team's former shortstop, has taken home most of the extra dough. Crosetti has been with the Yanks since 1932 and has received more than $75,000 from World Series jackpots. Second best over the same span according to Patterson were members of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Redbirds averaged $1465 for winning nine pennants and finishing in the money 26 times. The average World Series share for the remaining clubs: New York Giants, $1147; Brooklyn Dodgers, $775; Detroit Tigers, $771; Chicago Cubs, $700; Cleveland Indians, $572; Pittsburgh Pirates, $517; Philadelphia Athletics, $501; Washington Senators, $458; Cincinnati Reds, $427; Boston Red Sox, $358; Philadelphia Phillies, $223; Boston Braves, $213; St. Louis Browns, $189; Chicago White Sox, $121.

SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Two umpires defended football giants, California's powerhouse and USC's defenders, collide Saturday in a game that goes a long way to award deciding the Pacific Coast representative in the Rose bowl. California, its high scoring offense led by torpedo-like John Olszewski, is No. 4 in the Associated Press poll of the nation's top teams. USC, No. 7, is one of the top defensive teams in the nation. "We have a chance to win everything has to break right for us." California Coach Lynn Wardt told the northern California football writers yesterday. "If we are to be in the game we have to improve 100 percent," added Waldorf who, for the first time this season, has real reason to worry. Jess Hill, coach of the host Trojans, said in Los Angeles: "We'll be ready for 'em." FJC Gridder Plays for Army Army Cpl. Gordon L. Steward, former Fullerton junior college football player, is now playing halfback for the 24th division artillery football team at Camp Younghans, Japan. Steward is the son of Mrs. Mae Steward, 9380 Maplewood st., Bollflower. He graduated at Fullerton in June, 1950. He joined the 24th division in Korea in August, 1951, and has been assigned as a medical aidman. The unit was transferred to Japan last January after 19 months at the front. At Fullerton, Steward played two years on the football squad, 1948-49 and 1949-50. All-American Speaks at Dinner Ted Shipkey, former All-American from Stanford, was guest speaker last night at the monthly meeting of the Men's club of St. Michael's Episcopal church. Shipkey played in the famous game between Stanford and Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl in 1926. This was the year the Four Horsemen played on the Irish Bowl team. Shipkey spoke on football of that day and of the present and answered questions from the audience following his talk. A turkey dinner and community singing rounded out the evening's activities.

He Waldorf wasn't beaming over Cal's 27-7 Saturday win over Santa Clara: "Our offense was the poorest of the season. We were held to only 269 yards gained on the ground." Coach Chuck Taylor whose Stanford Indians meet fired-up Washington Saturday at Palo Alto, told the sports writers he'll concentrate on stopping the Huskies' Don Heinrich, a riflearmed quarterback. Taylor said because of injuries to defensive linemen Chuck Essegian and Ron Eadie the Stanford defenses will have to be shaken up. Essegian has been the Indian defensive mainstay. Of Stanford's 24-14 loss to UCLA, Taylor said it was simply a case of "too much Paul Cameron" Cameron flipped three touchdown passes in two quarters, then retired. Santa Clara meets Idaho in San Francisco Saturday and Bronco Coach Dick Gallagher said "It should be a dilly. Idaho is sound and well balanced on both offense and defense." "Gallagher apparently was unimpressed with California, saying: 'They're on a par with Kansas.' Kansas tripped the Broncos, 21-9. Coach Ernie Jorge, whose College of Pacific Tigers dropped a thriller to San Jose State 26-21, said it was the best Spartan team he's seen in six years." Keep an eye on them," he said. "They're going to do great things. Independent football is struggling and when a team as good as San Jose comes along it should get due recognition." Jorge said the COP injury list was a whopper from the San Jose State game and that would hurt his team's chances against San Diego Navy in Stockton Saturday night. Spartan Coach Bob Bronzan declared his club has a good chance to upset Stanford Nov. 1.

The result gives Michigan State a record of three out of four firsts. Only in the second week did the Spartans falter. That was when Wisconsin took over the top rung. State was second then. The undefeated Spartans, who are making the experts look good they were selected as the best aim in the country in the AP's season poll—had a margin of 5 points over Jim Tatum's powerful Maryland outfit. Maryland also was second last week, but the margin that time was 65 points, so the Terps are gradually trimming the margin. State garnered 1191 points, along with 49 first, from the 138 sports writers and sportscasters from coast to coast who cast ballets. Maryland, which has won one more game than Michigan State, five, had 1141 points and 36 firsts. The votes are tabulated by giving 10 points for first place, nine for second, eight for third and so on down the line. There were two newcomers to the first 10—Virginia, No. 9, and Wisconsin, No. 10. To make room for the pair, Kansas and Purdue, both of which were defeated last Saturday, went tumbling downward. The most impressive gain, however, was made by Oklahoma, which vaulted from sixth to third and gathered 23 first-place votes along with 913 points. The Sooners just about wrapped up the Big Seven title for the fifth straight year with their triumph over Kansas. After Oklahoma came California, No. 4; Georgia Tech, No. 5; Duke, No. 6; Southern California, No. 7, and UCLA, No. 8. The leaders with first-place votes in parentheses: 1.

Considering 1939 the base year, the dollar bought only forty cents worth of labor last year, forty-three cents worth of construction, or thirty cents worth of raw materials—but it bought $1.12 cents worth of industrial electric power. In your home, that dollar bought only forty-four cents worth of food, forty-nine cents worth of clothing or seventy-four cents worth of rent—but it bought $1.05 worth of electricity. The figures are national averages released by the National Industrial Conference Board. They show that the one great exception to the upswing in prices is your electric service. In Edison territory, electric service is an even greater bargain than the national averages indicate. "Edison electricity is your best buy—you can depend on it!"
