Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (F) — For a long time about this season of the year we have frequently found ourselves sneaking looks at certain members of the sports writing brotherhood and wondering if they had, perchance, been bounced upon their heads in extreme youth. These fellows would go afield on cold, snowy Saturdays and attend college football games as a job of work. They would return home late, frost-bitten and tired. They would bounce out of bed on Sunday, bright eyed and eager, and beat their way through traffic to witness a professional football game—on their day off. In reply to casual inquiries, they said they did this because the pro game was vastly superior to the college brand. They said they found pure relaxation in watching skilled artisans in action after they had spent an afternoon with the rahrah boys. They didn't seem to think this especially strange, no matter what anybody said. Well, this is in the nature of a confession. After having been exposed, kicking and screaming, to the pro game twice this season, we are beginning to suspect that it bears about the same relation to the college variety that the baseball Yankees do to, say, the Memphis Chicks. It isn't quite as noisy, but it is much finer football and much more consistently close and exciting. Having done considerable arguing on the other side, we are not going to propose that every club in the National Professional league can lick any college team in the land. We wouldn't be surprised if such campus outfits as Michigan State, Maryland, Oklahoma and maybe two or three others could step right into the money circuit and fully held up their end. But the point is that there aren't enough of them, and that it is all too seldom until the bowl games roll around that one gets to see two really powerful college teams have at one another. SPORTS MIRROR By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO — Leo Durocher of the New York Giants was voted manager of the year in the Associated Press poll. FIVE YEARS AGO — South Carolina defeated Clemson, 24-19 in football. TEN YEARS AGO — North Carolina pre-flight romped over Temple, 34-0. TWENTY YEARS AGO — No trot Dame, Southern California. BUT IT DIDN'T COUNT—(12) fleet Ohio State back Washington State for five first period play in the in battle, but it didn't count offside. Sailing into the pl Mickey Mantle Undergoes More Testing Today OKLAHOMA CITY (P)—There were more army draft physicals in store today for Mickey Mantle, the New York Yankee outfielder, who yesterday went through his third selective service checkup in less than two years. The 21-year-old Commerce, Okla., Comet has been ordered to Ft. Sill this morning for a "more comprehensive examination" of a leg bone alliment which has so far kept him out of military service. How much longer it will be before an anxious baseball world learns of the talented youngster's status is still conjecture. Mantle, who starred in the World Series despite an added handicap of another physical hanging over him, is forced to wear protective pads on hisailing left leg while playing. He suffers from esteemyelitis, a bone disease. Mickey, whose rise from sandlot baseball to Joe DiMaggio's spot in the Yankee outfield in four years has captured the imagination of millions of fans, processed exactly like 200 other state draftees at the armed forces examining station here yesterday. He then spent the night at the home of an aunt in Oklahoma City. The powerful switch hitter, now supporting his widowed mother, three younger brothers, a sister and an expectant wife, is expected to request a dependency deferment in the event Ft. Sill doctors find him acceptable. Under a presidential proclamation issued several months ago, local draft boards are authorized to grant such deferments. But IT DIDN'T COUNT—(12) fleet Ohio State back Washington State for five first period play in the im battle, but it didn't count offside. Sailing into the pl This Boy Lives By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK (P)—A season average of .781 means that every 24 selections, 19 are correct. It also means that five are wrong. There's no indication which "winners" of the following college football games this weekend are incorrect. Michigan State over Penn State: Penn State is unbeaten and has an outstanding end in Jease Arnell. But Michigan State should preserve its No. 1 ranking with absolute ease. Maryland over LSU: Maryland nickname and mascot is that of turtle. And if you remember the turtle always got there first. Oklahoma over Kansas State: Kansas couldn't stop the Sooners the K-Staters certainly aren't strong enough to do it. Illinois over Purdue: your Saturday afternoon TV feast. The Illini hospital list is long but the homiecoming enthusiasm should be just enough to get them past the ambitious Boller-makers. Southern California over Cali forma: the Trojan defense, fourth best in the country, to shackle Johnny Olszewski and Company. But it will be close. Georgia Tech over Vanderbilt: Vanderbilt had been good for an upset a year since Bill Edwards became coach but this doesn't appear to be the spot for it. Duke over Virginia: two unbeaten teams with potent defenses and everything indicates it should be a 21-21 deadlock. Duke's superior reserves get the nod. Wisconsin over UCLA: in the belief that Alan The Horse Amche will bust loose for a big day. The Green Bay Packers were third with 1456; Chicago Bears fourth, 1261, and New York Giants fifth, 1178. In passing the Browns also led with 992 yards gained. Second are the Philadelphia Eagles with 741 yards, Green Bay third, 692, San Francisco, 660 and Pittsburgh, 636. The 885 yards gained on the ground by the 15ers was tops in that department. The Giants have picked up 760 rushing, the Bears 667, Green Bay 604 and the Chicago Cardinals 608. The Pittsburgh Steelers showed the best defense against rushing, allowing opponents only 2.9 yards per try, with Detroit second at 3.2 and the Giants and Cardinals tied for third at 3.3. He then spent the night at the home of an aunt in Oklahoma City. The powerful switch hitter, now supporting his widowed mother, three younger brothers, a sister and an expectant wife, is expected to request a dependency deferment in the event Ft. Sill doctors find him acceptable. Under a presidential proclamation issued several months ago, local draft boards are authorized to grant such deferments. Mantle was first classified 4-F by his local draft board in 1950. In Tulsa, medical examiners again found him unfit six months later. PHILADELPHIA (UP) — Clyde Scott, Philadelphia Eagles half-back, was claimed on waivers by the Detroit Lions yesterday. ACE SPORTSCASTERS — Russ Hodges and Mel Allen are busy every Saturday through the season telecasting the football "TV Game of the Week" over NBC's 64 station television network, under the sponsorship of General motors. Both veteran baseball and football analysts, Allen handles the play-by-play and Hodges the color comments. Gazette SPORTS IT DIDN'T COUNT—Fred F.

Backfield Stars Get Nod of AP Panel As Possible Future All-Americans LOS ANGELES (AP)—Backfield stars, led by Fullback Johnny Olszewski of California, merited the nod of members of the coast panel of experts this week in their all-America candidate deliberations. Named for attention and possible future consideration were Olszewski and Passer Don Heinrich of Washington, both tabbed for the second straight week; Quarterback Lynn Aplanalp of San Jose State; Paul Cameron of UCLA, and Tom McCormick, halfback at College of the Pacific. Paul Zimmerman of the Los Angeles Times, Bill Leiser of the San Francisco Chronicle and Royal Brougham of the Seattle Post Intelligencer make up the sectional panel for the Associated Press. Heinrich, the nation's leader in total offense and passing yardage, and Olszewski who leads the coast conference in rushing and is second in the nation with a figure of 536, are well established in the all-America scramble. Aplanalp, wife is 24; stands 5-9½ and weighs a slight 162, is the main gun in Coach Bob Bronzan's San Jose Spartans. The Los Angeles man is runner-up to Heinrich for total offense, 916 total for Don, 896, running and passing for Aplanalp. "This guy can run any team in the court," Leiser reported. McCormick, playing in virtually the same company as Applejack Aplanalp—and losing to San Jose State last week—owns a school three-year mark of 2129 yards rushing, including 147 against San Jose Saturday. Six-footer Cameron missed action in four games. But with the pressure on, and hampered by injuries, he took just one half last week to stink then unbeat-Stanford. Cameron's three touchdown passes, plus his effective running, were enough. DOWN THE ALLEYS MEN'S 750 HANDICAP LEAGUE Team No. T. (1)—I. Kettering 452 J. Walker 426, F. Murray 428 K. Howard 478, A.
