Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK — Aldrich Man of New York who takes off for Australia today to act as business manager of the American lacrosse cup team, refuses to concede until the cause is hopeless and is dusklight short-tempered with the suggestion that we might lose Italy in the Interzone final. I honestly think we will have a good chance against Australia on the challenge round at Adelaide, especially if Tony Trabert gets his leave of absence from the navy," Man said before his departure. "What some of our critics overlook is that Vic Ottoska defended Frank Sedgman in straight sets in the Pacific Northwest tournament. He feels he's learned how to beat Frank by going to the net constantly." Who can say wheher Ken McGregor will be back at his top form for the Aussies? After all, he wasn't able to play in our nationals because of a pulled stomach muscle. If he doesn't play, I'll guarantee they can't beat us with their younger fellows. "As for our losing to Italy, that's absurd. Straight Clark, who's already over there with Seixas, has proved he can beat any of the Italians in straight sets." Six Teams Play In City Casaba Opening at AUHS Anaheim Recreation department City League basketball play got underway last night at the high school gym. Three contests officially opened the casaba season, with El Toro beating Ritz Cleaners 44-42. Optimists taking Bob Williams 33-31 and Coller's edging out Northrop 37-35 to keep all force contests just one basket apart. The story out of Washington telling of Mickey Mantle's deferment because of a knee injury said the young Yankee centerfielder hit a "sensational." 311 past season, his second in the big leagues. At first blush it looked like a pretty strong word. But we got to thinking. Few players in the two leagues hit higher than the Mick, and they didn't hit for the distance he did. The mark of a real good hitter today must be close to 20 points lower than it was when Mantle was born. The oldtimers insist they just don't turn out great hitters anymore, and that those who might develop into great hitters don't work and sweat at improving themselves. Our own theory is that today's batters are looking at better pitching, day after day, than the oldsters did. Maybe Mickey was sensational at that. Dads Guests at Whittier for Arizona Game WHITTIER — Whittier college students will welcome some favorite guests Saturday, Nov. 15 when the Poet campus will be the scene of the seventh annual "dads' day." The traditional event, one of the most popular on the Whittier calendar, is now being planned by a student committee headed by Dee Holcomb and Art Turman, seniors from Puente and San Maiteo, respectively. A variety of activities with especial interest to fathers of offspring now attending Whittier have been planned. The traditional dads' day barbecue in Wardman gymnasium will be followed by a dance. Passers Elite of NEW YORK — It takes pass to join the elite among top ground gainers in major league football circles these days forward pass, that is. Eight of the nine players we have managed more than 1000 yards this season are primarily forward passers, statistics released by NCAA service bureau showed this day, and the ninth has had no good deal of tossing him self. Don Heinrich of Washington the total offense leader, with 19 yards in seven games. He heads the passers in practice everything: 203 attemptps, completions, 1337 yards and a scoring passes. Roy Williams of Hardin-Simmons displaced Gene Flipski, Villanova, atop the rushing stings all season long, by accumulating 301 yards in his last games for a season total of 7 Flipski has 703 and Harvard Dick Chasby in third place, is the most frequent major college runner in the country with 137 tempts. The only aerial department Henrich doesn't hold first place in completion average. John Rydalch of Dish has connected with 65 out of 105 for 61.9. Heinrich also is working his way toward the top of the list in coer totals. Heinrich now has 304 completions for third play behind Don Klosterman, Loyola L. A., who finished with 368 and Kentucky's Babe Parilli, who has 331. In touchdown responsibilities though, Heinrich must share honors with Yale's Ed Molloy, earning credited with 14. Heinrich has scored twice and pitched for 12 tallies, Molloy has made four and thrown 10. Still in contention in the close battle among the runners are Leon Hardeman, Georgia Tech... Opening at AUHS Anaheim Recreation department City League basketball play got underway last night at the high school gym. Three contests officially opened the casaba season, with El Toro beating Ritz Cleaners 44-42. Optimists taking Bob Williams 33-31 and Coller's edging out Northrop 37-35 to keep all force contests just one basket apart. In spite of having two scorers on their team who tacked up over 16 points, Ritz Cleaners couldn't win their game. Berg accounted for 16 points and Panier for 11. High man on their opponents team, El Toro, was Boden who dropped in seven field goals for 14 points. Although the Optimists failed to floor a single man who could score over seven points they managed to beat the William's team. Joe Bruce, of the William's quintet, pushed in five field goals and a free throw to lead both teams with 11 points. Eddie Ochoa of Northrop was high individual scorer of the entire evening, bucketing also field goals and two free throws for a total of 20 points. It wasn't good enough, however, to carry the same for his crew, who could only add 15 points between them to Ochoa's tally. John Vuksanovich, scoring 14 points, got more cooperation from his teammates in clinching the 37-35 victory for Coller's. Coller's led at the half, 18-15, and scored one less point than their opponents in the second half, 19-20. The traditional event, one of the most popular on the Whittier calendar, is now being planned by a student committee headed by Dee Holcomb and Art Turman, seniors from Puente and San Mateo, respectively. A variety of activities with especial interest to fathers of offspring now attending Whittier have been planned. The traditional dads' day barbecue in Wardman gymnasium will be followed by a talk by President Paul S. Smith, father of the Whittier college family. Dads and their student hosts and hostesses will witness the Whitter-Arizona State football elast at 8:15 that night from a special reserved section at Hadley field. Earlier that afternoon the guests will have an opportunity to go on a student-conducted tour of the campus and will then meet the Poet at an informal get-together. SYDNEY, Australia (AP)—America's Davis Cup Captain Vic Seixas expects a tough fight from Italy before his team reaches the Challenge Round against Australia. Seixas and Straight Clark are the first two members of the U.S. team to reach Australia. They arrived last night from New Zealand where they had played in exhibition matches. BERKELEY (AP) — California's Beats resume drills on pass defense today as they prepare for Saturday's game at Seattle with Washington's aerial happy Huskies. FORMER COLONIST Jamie Lopez is now playing for Fullerton Junior college. Lopez worked as fullback for the locals and lettered twice in the grid sport. He was chosen on the All-Sunset league second team for his rugged play. Jamie is now married and has two little girls. He is a Navy veteran. RIDER UP — Jockey Ronald Holly warms up a mount on the Los Alamitos course in preparation for some racing later in the day. Racing at the Vessels' ranch track will continue for ten more days. Attendance and pari-mutuel records of last year have been broken at this year's meet. GAZETTE PHOTO Saigh and Veeck See Eye to Eye on This BY 'DE REICHLER NEW YORK UP—Fred Saigh and Bill Veeck, rival owners of the St. Louis Cards and Browns, respectively, haven't seen eye to eye on many things during the past season. Both, however, are in perfect accord on one point. They believe their teams should share in the television receipts from games on the road. "My Browns provide half the cast in a ball game that is televised in any American League city they visit," Veeck contends. Therefore, the St. Louis club should receive its share of the fee that is paid the home club for the show." Saigh already has announced he will not allow his Card games to be televised in New York, and Brooklyn next year unless his club shares in the television fees received by the Giants and Dodgers. A total of 35 major league players are due to leave military service in time to join their respective clubs for the 1953 season. The Boston Braves will have a new battery in pitcher Johnny Antonelli and catcher Del Crandall. Other prominent returnees include pitchers Ed Ford, Yankees; Bill MacDonald, Pirates; Dick Weik, Indians; Ray Herbert, Tigers; infielders Danny O'Connell, Pirates; Preston Ward, Cubs; Gwen Friend, Browns and outfielder Dick Kokos, Browns. Is Tommy Byrne, recently acquired by the Chicago White Sox in a trade with the Browns, en route to Washington? Senator manager Bucky Harris, who tutored Byrne in New York as a rookie, is anxious to land the veteran lefthander and has dangled outfielder Gil Coan as bait. The addition of Byrne gives the White Sox six southpaws whereas the Nats finished the 1952 season with nary a one. Of Washington's 78 wins, only four were registered by a lefthander last year, Lou Sleater, and he has been shipped to Chattanooga. Did-You-Know-That Department On June 27, 1932, five straight Boston batters reached base against Brooklyn on four hits and a walk, in the ninth inning, but the Braves failed to score. Brooklyn won 9-8. Here is how it happened. McDonald, first up, went out. Campbell singled and was caught off first. Rucker to Daubert. Sweeney and Kirke singled. Titus walked. Houser was credited with a single when his boulder hit Titus on the baselines. No runs, four hits, one walk, three left. Massers Elite of Nation's Gridiron Ground-Gainers NEW YORK (UP)—It takes a to join the elite among the ground gainers in major col- football circles these days—ward pass, that is. Right of the nine players who managed to accumulate more than 1000 yards this season, the ninth has had to good deal of tossing him. Heinrich of Washington is total offense leader, with 1343 in seven games. He also the passers in practically nothing: 203 attempts, 106 reti- tions, 1337 yards and 128 passes. Williams of Hardin-Sim- displaced Gene Filipski of Iowa, atop the rushing stand- ill season long, by accumu- 301 yards in his last two for a season total of 738. It has 703 and Harvard's Chasby in third place, is the frequent major college run- the country with 137 at- only aerial department which doesn't hold first place completion average. John Chich of Dish has connected 55 out of 105 for 61.9. Chich also is working his way the top of the list in ca- totals. Heinrich now has implications for third place Don Klosterman, Loyola, who finished with 368 and Klys Babe Parilli, who had touchdown responsibility. Heinrich must share hon- nth Yale's Ed Molloy, each credited with 14. Heinrich bored twice and pitched for Jes. Molloy has made four down 10.

Ray Rosso's Pirates from Costa Mea will enter the fray as three touchdown underdogs to the team which only last Friday night burst the balloon of previously undefeated San Bernardino, 34-12 in the rugged Eastern loop. Ray Rosso has his charges on the comeback after opening the league with two straight 14-0 set backs at the hands of Mt. San Antonio and San Bernardino. Last week, the Pirates battered Chaffey 41-0 and the previous week thumped Riverside, 51-6. Practice games saw the Pirate roll over Muir, 7-2; Harbor, 20-0 and San Mateo, 42-0. Santa Ana hit its peak last week in jolting the Indians but has provided other upsets this season in edging Pasadena, 21-13 and tieing Long Beach, 0-0. Rosso will hinge his attack on an all Orange county combination headed by former Huntington Beach and Newport Harbor players as well as boys from other local area prep schools. Paul Chafe will direct the "T" attack with Mel Smalley and Ned Parsons at halfbacks and John Steinborn fullback. The offensive line will have Chuck Hansen and Jack Meeks at ends; Al Kerr and Jim Prinslow at tackles; Bob Woodhouse and Gil Marsh at guards and Ken Wire at center. Bob Smith will engineer Cook's attack which features the single wing and a spread formation, Augie Huseca, Bob Griffith and Harvey Brian complete the Don backfield. Johnny O Still Leads Coast Loop in Rushing LOS ANGELES (AP) — Johnny Olszewski of California, stopped by UCLA last week, still leads the Coast Conference in rushing yardage, and Don Heinrich of Washington heads the league in total and passing offense. Olszewski has gained 656 yards in 116 carries for a 5.7 average gain, and shares the scoring lead in the conference at seven touchdowns and 42 points with George Black of Washington. Heinrich, the nation's leading passer, has completed 106 out of 203 throws for a .522 percentage and 1337 yards. His total offensive yardage is 1343. Two UCLA players, Milt Davis and Bill Stitt. In contention in the close among the runners are Hardeman, Georgia Tech. Chaffey 41-0 and the previous week thumped Riverside, 51-6. Practice games saw the Pirate roll over Muir, 7-2; Harbor, 20-0 and San Mateo, 42-0. Santa Ana hit its peak last week in jolting the Indians but has provided other upsets this season in edging Pasadena, 21-13 and tinging Long Beach, 0-0. Rosso will hinge his attack on an all Orange county combination headed by former Huntington Beach and Newport Harbor players Sports Mirror By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO—Charlie Dressen was rehired as Bodger manager for the 1952 season. FIVE YEARS AGO—Mexican army jumpers won the team event at the International Horse show, at Madison Square Garden. TEN YEARS AGO—Unbeaten Sugar Ray Robinson scored his 38th straight victory, but pointing Vic Dellicurti in a 10-round bout. TWENTY YEARS AGO—Army trampled Harvard, 46-0, to give the Crimson its worst defeat in football history. NEW YORK UP — A guard switched to tackle—Bob Lenzini of Illinois—won the Lineman of the Week award today. Lenzini, a 198-pounder from Waukegan, took top honors in the weekly Associated Press poll for his sterling defensive work last Saturday as the Illini upset Michigan, 22-13. Unbeaten Fullerton Meets Unbeaten Anaheim in Crucial League Contest Fullerton Indians and Anaheim Colonists, only two varsity football teams as yet unbeaten this year in the Sunset League, will meet Saturday night at Fullerton stadium in a match which may be the decisive factor in league championship for the current year. Fullerton has won three league games, from Orange, Huntington Beach, and Newport; while Anaheim has won two, over Newport and Santa Ana, and tied one game with Huntington Beach last week at 6-6. Last year's Indian-Colonist classic in the Fullerton stadium, on the occasion of Indian Homecoming, was called a crucial contest, too, with the winner expeted to annex the Sunset title, as turned out to be the case when Anaheim defeated the Braves 13-7, thereby clinching the pennant. This year, another Homecoming but for Anaheim, the championship is again at stake between the North Orange countryside. Hoorebeke has only six returning lettermen from last year's championship squad, including Jim Roberts, 160-pound full-back; Aaron Peralta, 150-pound half; Center Ray Bokelman; Dean Philpott, 150-pound half; Bob DeGrof, 180-pound tackle; and Bob Padilla, 210-pound tackle. Fullerton has nine varsity lettermen returned. Eight are seniors: Co-captains Gary Johnson and Jack Cartwright, Art Schade, Lin Sitton, Bob Garcia, Stan Tallent, Ronny Pitts, and Danny Dass. One is a junior, Bob Hatfield. Last year's Indian-Colonist classic in the Fullerton stadium, on the occasion of Indian Homecoming, was called a crucial contest, too, with the winner expeted to annex the Sunset title, as turned out to be the case when Anaheim defeated the Braves 13-7, thereby clinching the pennant. This year, another Homecoming but for Ansheim, the championship is again at stake between the North Orange county rivals. Should Fullerton win from Anaheim Saturday night, the Indians would win the coveted Sunset crown by reason of four victories. Anaheim has only two victories and a tie, and could not beat the Indian record thereafter. In pre-Sunset games, both the Indians and Colonists lost three and won one game. Only two members of the Sunset League held championships for four or more seasons, over the past 15 years. These are Fullerton (1947, 1948, 1949, 1950) and Anaheim (1939, 1940, 1941 and 1951, with a three-way tie in 1943). Colonist Coach Claire Van Washington Hands Defeat to Mann George Washington dished out the first defeat of the football season to Horace Mann yesterday 7-8 in Recreation league play. Mann has been the powerhouse of the league thus far. Mann scored first on a pass from Sal Herrera to Ricky Scheffler who ran 50 yards for the TD. The play was good for a total of 65 yards. The conversion attempt failed. A 15-yard pass from Joe Munoz to Bob Loes in the end zone tied up the game and the Washington conversion made by Munoz on a run around end, sewed up the contest. Gazette SPORTS DRIVE—Huntington Beach Halfback Van-Over (10) broke through the Anaheim line on this play and had to be brought down by the Colonist secondary. The game ended in a 6-6 tie. Colonist player Don Switzer (23) and HB man Russell (28) move in on the play. Anaheim faces Fullerton this Saturday in a crucial Sunset league game.
