2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Colonists Head for MAINSTAYS — Important links in the Colonist offense this year have been Jim Roberts (left) and Aaron Peralta. The two fleet backs will bear much of the brunt of the battle against Fullerton tomorrow night. The game will be played in Fullerton stadium. Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (P)—Baseball finally has shocked itself into a state of sobriety on the bonus issue, with the result that the average young prospect's chances of be mighty sure it has a live wire before it talks bonus. At the moment there is no rule at all. A bonus baby may be schooled in the minor leagues in Bruins Will Try To Solve Baker And His Mates By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES (A)—The beaten Bruins of UCLA have more grid problems to answer before they can graduate to the Red Bowl class. The first one comes tomorrow when Oregon State moves into Memorial Coliseum; but the Beavers don't appear to pose much of a problem in view of the fact they have been solved by their last five opponents. Prof. Henry R. Red Sanders doesn't propose to let his Bru students take this next examination lightly, however. He has not forgotten that he took Michigan State, now the nation's No. One team, almost entire game before the Spartan came through with the final answer against the Beavers from Corvalis, Ore. The Bruins' next, and final quiz, comes up Nov. 22 against a stern taskmaster, the Trojan of Southern California. What ever, if anything, happens to the Trojan between now and Nov. 22 is not the Bruins' concern. Their main objective is to pass this next test and then be ready for anything two weeks later. Sanders has his pupils in ideal attitude for Oregon State, physically and, he thinks, mentally. This includes his star pupil one Paul Gamble. Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (P)—Baseball finally has shocked itself into a state of sobriety on the bonus issue, with the result that the average young prospect's chances of signing for a gift of $50,000 and a red convertible will in future be very slender. The thing finally got completely out of hand during the past year when the 16 major league clubs paid out a staggering 4½ million dollars in bonuses to a lot of growing boys who have yet to prove that they can stick in any company higher than an Elks picnic. Of this outside sum, the Boston Red Sox are estimated to have contributed $425,600. As they recover from this magnificent spree, the club owners are holding their throbbing temples and vowing it will never happen again. This time they mean it, and Commissioner Ford Frick has appointed himself as a committee of ones to see that they do not backslide. "It's gotten completely out of hand," he declared in outlining the new plan to produce a sensible compromise. "Nobody objects to an occasional bonus for a particularly brilliant prospect, but this thing of throwing millions of dollars around to a bunch of kids who are just out of high school and probably never will make a league player is plain foolish. It's just that much money gone from baseball." The new plan, which is virtually certain of adoption at the point meeting of the leagues in Phoenix next month, has been carefully thought out and is equipped with sufficient teeth to make it effective. Stripped of cauca word lettuce, it simply provides that a club had better be mighty sure it has a live wire before it talks bonus. At the moment there is no rule at all. A bonus baby may be schooled in the minor leagues indefinitely. Under the rule coming up, if a club feels like shelling out, say $30,000 for some juvenile hotshot, it will have to be prepared to carry him on its big league roster for two full seasons or risk losing him in the unrestricted draft. This will cause a clubowner to do some heavy thinking before he reaches for his roll. Places on big league rosters are at a premium, particularly after they are cut down to 25, and it is a rare manager who would like to have two or three bonus kids taking up bench room and reading comic books, after the weather gets hot and his regulars begin to need a rest now and then. A pennant-contending club needs all the grown men it can carry. A Brooklyn team of some years back, the 1947 outfit, practically ostracised a rookie named Joe Tepsic because he refused to be farmed out late in the campaign to make a place for a more seasoned player who was believed needed to win the flag. Tepsic had exacted an agreement from Branch Rickey that he would be kept up all year, and he held stubbornly to it. Wonder what ever became of him? There will of course, continue to be some bonus players. To venture a guess, though, they will at least have had to prove themselves pretty sensational in college to be on a big league bench.

Horace Mann Beats Jeff 13-0 Horace Mann bounced back into the win column in their recreational football play yesterday downing Thomas Jefferson 13-1 on the City park football field. Jefferson couldn't muster touchdown drive, although he made some nice runs. Dan Madison, Julio Acosta and Ken Dunto took the ball on long rambles, but never got to the end zone. Mann's first score came on a 15 yard run by Salvador Herrera with the conversion attempt falling. Second TD was made by Ricky Schaeffler who trotted 2 yards for the tally. Ed Schaeffler made the conversion and the scoring ended their, 13-0. SPORTS MIRROR By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO—The Detroit Red Wings scored three goals in less than two minutes of the final period, to tie the New York Rangers, 4-4 in a National Hockey league game. FIVE YEARS AGO—The Chicago Rockets won their first victory in 11 attempts by defeating the Baltimore Colts, 27-21, in an American Football League contest. TEN YEARS AGO—a crowd of 76,000 fans watched Notre Dame win wip Army 13-0. TWENTY YEARS AGO—Lou Lush, Massachusetts State halfback, became the first football player in the nation to pass the century mark in scoring as he raised his total to 108 points. The Anaheim B, League Mid-Cities Tennis team plays host to the Fullerton club on the local City park courts on Sunday morning in a regularly scheduled round of the winter series of matches. Singles matches get under way at 10 o'clock according to Larry Harvill, playing manager of the team, with doubles rounds immediately following. Tentatively signed to play in the men's singles are Floyd Baker, Dick Hanson, Larry Harvill, Barry Ryan and Mike Bouck, with Mary Flynn playing the only women's singles match on the program. Singles players then team for the men's doubles and mixed doubles to complete the nine matches. Competition should be very good as Fullerton is now leading the five team league by a fairly substantial margin. Final match of the season for the Anaheim squad is also a local event against Santa Ana on the City park courts Nov. 23. FULLERTON BRAVES—Ready for action. Johnson, Garcia and Sitton. On the line in tomorrow night's game with Anaheim's (l. to r.) are Kraemer, Pitts, Barrera, Tal-Colonists will be these Indian warriors. In lant, Cartwright, Wood and Schade. The backfield are (l. to r.) Ledbetter, G. for Fullerton and Crucero A chance for revenge and a chance for a second straight league title. Those stakes, part of them, in tomorrow night's game between the Anaheim Colonists and Fullerton Indians. The game starts at 7:30 in Fullerton stadium and should be a down drag out affair all the way. Anaheim is trying to husband its Sunset League crown against the onslaught of an Indian team determined to gain revenge for last year's title loss handed them by the Colonists. At present the Colonists are in second place, but a win tomorrow night would put them back on the top of the heap. Fullerton leads the league and if they can win the contest tomorrow night will bring home the elusive Sunset League trophy they couldn't quite get their hands on last year. The Colonists handed the Indians a 13-7 beating last year to deprive their arch rivals the title honors. Fullerton has won three league games in a row now and have vowed to erase the mistakes of last year's debacle with a resounding win. Joe Merlo, new to Fullerton this year, has coached his Indians in the ways of the T formation and they have proven adept at the system. Merlo, a graduate of Cal Berkeley, coached his Richamond team to a Northern California championship last year. Anaheim is the underdog again this year. If they win over the Indians it will be classed as an "upset" as was the outcome of the meeting last year. Anaheim has been surprising in their attempt to retain their crown. After a rough beginning they settled down to win two league games and tie third. Added to the many reasons for their wanting to win this game, the Colonists have the incentive of Homecoming. A team always seems to try harder than ever on that occasion. Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke had his charges in contact workouts Tuesday and Wednesday and yesterday had his kickers sharpening up at the goal posts. This afternoon signal calling drills, punting and kickoff returns and ball handling in a tapering off move was planned. Added attractions at the game will be the pre-game appearance of the Homecoming queen, Jo Ann Faust, and her four class attendants, Ramona Schley, senior; Kay Forbes, junior; Gildie Barchenger, sophomore; and Susan Reed, freshman. At halftime, the Anaheim band will perform five intricate marching formations in a salute to Fullerton. The game was moved to Fullerton stadium because of the anticipated crowds. The "traditional" game draws a heavy crowd each year and this year should prove no exception. The stakes are high and the players are all up for this one— Bruins Will Try Solve Baker And His Mates By BOB MYERS ANGELES (P)—The un-Bruins of UCLA have two grid problems to answer before they can graduate to the Rose class.

A main objective is to pass first test and then be readything two weeks later. Bruins has his pupils in idealfor Oregon State, physiciel, he thinks, mentally. Includes his star pupil, Paul Gamble. Taking It Easy with TOM MARQUIS (Gazette Sports Editor) The apex or the acme or the whatever you will takes place in Fullerton tomorrow night—at least so far as Anaheim and Fullerton football fans are concerned. The game between the Colonists and the Indians will in all probability decide the outcome of the Sunset league. Winning it means a lot to the Colonists and their supporters and the same holds true for all loyal Fullertonians. The Indians saw their championship hopes blasted last year by invaders from Anaheim and they won't be in any mood for a repeat performance. So many people are expected for the game that it was decided to play it in Fullerton stadium to accommodate them all. So, if you are looking for some excitement and some thrills on Saturday you'd better plan to join the throng and see this game. When the game with Huntington Beach ended in a 6-0 tie last week it made me start wondering all over again why the place kick isn't stressed more in high school and college ball. At most schools kicking is a sort of part time activity—a good way to loosen up tight muscles and will in a little time. If Anaheim had made the conversion following their one and only touchdown they would still be tied for first place honors in the Sunset league. Instead they now down the number two spot. This isn't an isolated case of a game lost for want of a well placed kick. Games are lost all the time for lack of them. Usually a field goal is the item that would have saved many a day, but conversions are important too. A good place kick can account for both. Professional ball clubs rely on the place kick as a real offensive threat. They don't hesitate to use it and they make darn sure they have a good "toe" on their club. More than one pro game has depended on a field goal or conversion and a 45 Barbara L. Favre "Shue Fly" Publisher A. B. Green's Barbara L. year-old mare who has earned title of second best quarter in the west by the consistentner in which she has finished on to famed —Johnny DiDal her big break tomorrow at Alamitos race course. She heads a field of 12 quarterhorses named for $2500 Shue Fly purse yards and where she gets big break is that Johnny isn't included among them. The Dial is skipping tomorrows big number to concentrate on $6000 California quarter championship a week here closing day, Nov. 15. But even though she break in that she won't contend with Johnny DiDal Sports Editor Goes Out on Loose Limb Agents Another bad week last week the sorcery department. Like I'll have to get a new ball and make arrangement consultations with a diff soothsayer. Out of nine predicts I got five correct, three incand and one tie. That adds up to a seasonal total of .704, a drop from week's season average of which is definitely going wrong direction. For this week I'll take Anas as my "fingers crossed" or This is the "big" game of them on the home front. I'll pick ange Coast over Santa Anas Fullerton to bounce back over Bernardino. Along the coast I like the of UCLA over Oregon State more than before. They won out my prayers last week. Sern Cal should power over Ford and California will get the famine trail to beat Was ton. Oregon will do it ag lose, this time to Washington State. College of Pacific ge If Anaheim had made the conversion following their one and only touchdown they would still be tied for first place honors in the Sunset league. Instead they now hold down the number two spot. This isn't an isolated case of a game lost for want of a well placed kick. Games are lost all the time for lack of them.

Professional ball clubs rely on the place kick as a real offensive threat. They don't hesitate to use it and they make darn sure they have a good "toe" on their club. More than one pro game has depended on a field goal or conversion and a 45 yard boot by the pros is no longer a novelty. A few more pains on the part of college and high school coaches to develop kickers and kicking might mean the difference between a good season and an indifferent one for many teams. Just as a sidelight, Coach Clare Van Moorebeke had his boys booting the ball between the goal posts this afternoon, so it could be he is trying to avoid a repeat of last week's weakness. This doesn't have exactly to do with sports, but it happened at a sports event, so I guess it comes within my province. At last week's Anaheim-Huntington Beach game there was a disturbance in the stands that eventually required the attention of a police officer. I don't know what the fracas was all about, but that is unimportant. What is important is what happened when the officer stepped into the picture. The crowd, at least about 90 per cent of it, turned their attentions away from the game—in spite of exciting action on the field—and began booing the police officer. I'm afraid the younger generation was responsible for most of the offensive noise and jibes. And I wondered where this disrespect of the law comes from and why it is generated so early in this breed of man known as American. This would be a sorry country to live in if it weren't for the police systems functioning all over the U.S. Life would not only be unpleasant it would be downright hazardous. But in spite of this fact, officers of the law are subject to abuse from all quarters, from people of all sizes, shapes and colors. I hope the younger generation isn't picking up this suspicion and dislike of the law from parents who make snide remarks about "cops hiding behind billboards" and the like. I've known and been associated with a great number of police officers at one time or another (in a perfectly legal capacity, of course, and for the most part they have been serious and unassuming men who's life has been dedicated to, and built around, service to all the people. It is a real shame that police officers are subject to public abuse and dislike. It just makes a tough job all the tougher. Crucial League Game Gordon Morley Wins Trautman-Sholz Perpetual Trophy at a Fall Field Day The Anaheim Golf Ass'n annual fall Field Day held at the Willowwick course yesterday turned out to be a big success. Forty-six divot diggers dared the fairways and some came in with surprisingly good scores. Gorden Morley came through to win the Trautman-Sholz Perpetual Trophy with a low net of 66. There were four tied for second place with 68s, but only one could receive a prize, so Bud Stahlman's name was pulled. Frank Donaldson out shone the field as he came in with a sizzling low gross of 74. High net went to Stan Whieldon with a mighty 93 and Marks Beebe walked off with the high gross 107. The winners of the blind bogies went to George Royer, Harry Pearson, Joe Elliott, Rock Conklin, Gorden Morley, Joe Sholz, Les Moon and Carl Lemcke. The members enjoyed a steak dinner prepared by Eddy and Larry Lane in the Willowick club house, following their activities on the course. President Vern Rold thanked the committee assisting him in putting over the Field Day. Special thanks went to Earnie Moeller for handling the score board and the financial end of the Field Day. Here is the way the AGA mem- Barbara L. Favored to Take $2500 "Shue Fly" Purse at Los Alamitos ANAHEIM GAZETTE, INC. Theodore B. Kuchel, President Max Besler, Vice-President Mra. Henry Kuchel, Secretary-Treasurer H. C. Burkhelmer, Assistant Secretary-Treasurer Barbara L. Favored to Take $2500 "Shue Fly" Purse at Los Alamitos A. B. Green's Barbara L., a 54-year-old mare who has earned the title of second best quarter horse in the west by the consistent man in which she has finished second to famed Johnny Dial, gets big break tomorrow at Los Alamitos race course. She heads a field of 12 quick quarterhorses named for the 2500 Shue Fly purse at 400 yards and where she gets her big break is that Johnny Dial not included among them. The Dial is skipping tomorrow's number to concentrate on the 200 California quarter horse championship a week hence on Sunday, Nov. 15. But even though she gets a walk in that she won't have to spend with Johnny Dial, Barbara L. takes on no easy task. For one thing she is the high-weight of the field at 128 pounds and for another the list of those lined up against her includes such recent stakes winners as Lewis Blackwell's Monita, Oscar Cox' Miss Ruby, Leo Lopez' Miss Tacubaya and Rancho Sahuaro's Tonto Bars Gill. Monita shapes up as the most dangerous Holder of the world record of 22 seconds flat for 440 yards but unable to win at Los Alamitos last year. Monita served warning earlier this week that she is at peak form again by taking the election day purse in track record time of 19.8 seconds for 385 yards. Miss Ruby and Tonto Bars Gill were both stakes winners at Bay Meadows, the former winning the Western purse and the latter the Pleasanton, while Miss Tacubaya captured the Inaugural at Los Alamitos and then came back to run third to Monita in the Election Day. The others mamed for the Shue Fly were Chappo S., Little Sister W., Tonta Lad, Question's Gold, Mickey's Muck, Black Easter Bunny and Blob Jr. Post time for the first race of the nine-race program has been advanced to 12 noon and a crowd of upwards of 6500 fans is expected to turn up for the second Saturday card of the season.
