Things Seem Pretty Quiet on Colonists Meet Downey Cagers This Afternoon Anaheim's Colonist basketball team, bolstered by footballers Dean Philpott and Gayle Herhel, travels to Downey this afternoon to begin the annual cage wars. Whether the gridders will be an asset or a liability is undetermined at present, since they are still in the process of adapting from one sport to the other. The club, under the tutelage of Coach Bill Hunstock, began working out Monday and have yet so smooth out their attack. Hunstock will have the services of four varsity lettermen of last year and six members of the Sunset League Bee championship team. Herbel and Philpott, along with two other lettermen, Bill Ames and Don Moody, will probably start for the Colonists. The fifth man will come from the group of last year's Bee basketers. Ballman’s TV’ers Beat Beach Team In League Game Ballman's TV'ers won their County League opener against the Huntington Beach basketball team 65-51 in a game played last night at the high school gym. It was the second time the TV'ers had won out over HB, but they did so last night without the services of three top players, Hugh Faulkner, Bill Walker and Don Liebhart. In the absence of Faulkner, Howie Walker took over as high point man for the league. Ballman's TV'ers won their County League opener against the Huntington Beach basketball team 66-51 in a game played last night at the high school gym. It was the second time the TV'ers had won out over HB, but they did so last night without the services of three top players, Hugh Faulkner, Bill Walker and Don Liebhart. In the absence of Faulkner, Howie Walker took over as high point man for the locals, racking up seven field goals and five free throws to account for 19 of his team points. Roger Panier was second high scorer for Ballman's with 12 markers. Elmer Combs of HB scored 18 points and his teammate, Norm Worthy, made 14 points. It was a close fought game until the final quarter when the TV'ers began to pull away with a steady barrage of scoring. Score at half time was 26-21 in favor of the local team and at the end of the third quarter they led 44-41. In the final stanza they scored 22 points to 10 for HB. Ballman's boys missed 10 free throws and committed 12 fouls, while their opponents were missing 11 free throws and making 13 fouls, the only two departments in which the visitors led.

BERKELEY (UP)—California and Stanford grid teams meet here Saturday for their traditional big game—not quite so big as in some years with Stanford rated perhaps a 13-point underdog. Coach Chuck Taylor said his Indians can win "if the boys are up"—a statement far removed from his confident victory predictions early in the season. The California Bears will retire to an overnight hiding place after a sweat suit workout this afternoon. Stanford also will go in hiding without a workout. The season has had its disappointments for both clubs—the especially-the coast conference title-defending Indians. Stanford has five victories and four defeats—wins over Santa Clara, Washington State, Michigan, Oregon State and San Jose State; losses to UCLA, Washington US Cand Oregon. California had clear sailing for five games—through College of Pacific, Missouri, Minnesota, Oregon and Santa Clara. But USC broke the spell with a 10-victory. Losses to UCLA and Washington followed. Then the Bears bounced back last weekend with a win against Washington State. For many fans, Saturday's grid spotlight will be on the little-deciding clash between Southern California and UCLA. But there still was plenty of interest in the big game. The 80,000-seat Memorial coliseum is a sell-out. Taylor and California Coach Larry Poppy Waldorf announced lineup changes. For the Indians, John Bredorck and Carry Smith have taken over at offensive and defensive right tackle respectively. Taylor said the changes might not be definite. Jack Kripner of Burbank was the "big man at the National Spin Fishing Association tournament at Anaheim last weekend, setting one new national record and winning the all-round championship by placing in three of the four events. Jack, casting in the % ounce distance event, had a long cast of 241 feet and a three-cast average of 237½ feet. The spinners really make those little plugs sail. Casting in the¼ ounce accuracy event at targets 50 to 80 feet, Neal Taylor of Inglewood, Hugh Romstedt of Whittier and Kripner tied at 94—equalizing the national record for that event. Taylor won the castoff. Californian Leads Pan-Am Road Races MEXICO CITY (UP)—The 61 automobiles remaining in the third annual Pan-American road race headed today for Leon, some 267 miles from this city, with Giovanni Bracco of Italy showing the way to the drivers of sports cars and Chuck Stevenson of Lynwood, Calif., in the van of the stock car pilots. Bracco, driving a 1952 Ferrari, rolled into the Mexican capital yesterday with an elapsed time of 7:43:11 for the first three laps covering 671 miles of the 1934-mile course ending at Juarez. The Italian driver took over the lead after France's Jean Behra, the first day's pacesetter, snashed up on a treacherous curve 10 miles from Puebla. The stock car division composed largely of drivers and automobiles from the United States, remained a nip and tuck affair with only 37 seconds separating the first three. The four leaders are driving Lincoln. Quiet on the Surface in LA, But Under Tension Mounts as Time for Bruin-Trojan Game New BY BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES (AP)—On the surface, things were normal today in this babble-town on the Pacific. There was business as usual, the traffic was as bad as ever and the citizens were delighted with the temporarily smogless heavens. But underneath, there was an air of expectancy, impatience and pent up excitement. For tomorrow it's "The Bruins and the Trojans." The Bruins, of course, are UCLA, the Trojans represent the University of Southern California. And their football forces meet head on in Memorial Coliseum with much at stake. There are two big prizes for the winner: the PCC championship and the chance to play in the Rose Bowl against the Big Ten representative New Year's Day. If UCLA wins it will wind up the season 9-0, one of the nation's few undefeated, untied college teams. USC has one more game, against Notre Dame next week. The kickoff will be at 2 p.m. The weather prospects are fair; a chance for light showers late Saturday. Jamming the Coliseum will be a crowd of over 100,000, if all the customers show up. The game officially is a sellout, at $5 a seat. Millions more will see the battle as television's game of the week. Led by rival halfback stars, Paul Cameron for UCLA and Jimmy Sears for USC, the payoff game marks the climax of a wonderful season for Los Angeles fans. UCLA waded through Oregon, Texas Christian, Washington, Rice, Stanford, Wisconsin, California and Oregon State, scoring 208 points to 41. Troy defeated Washington State. Northwestern, Army, San Diego Naval Training Center, Oregon UCLA and USC rate third and fourth, in that order, behind Michigan State and Georgia Tech in The Associated Press' national poll. The experts call it a strictly even game. If there is a slight edge, it leans toward Coach Red Sanders' Uclans, who for the past two years have won from their neighbors, 39-0 and 21-7. There are stars aplenty to watch for in this clash of two single wing machines. For UCLA, Cameron, No. 34, a tall, hard-running back and a fine passer, is the key man on offense. A junior, Cameron provided the punch that sank the Bruins' major foes this fall. But keep an eye on Right Halfback Don Stalwick 30, who shared honors with Cameron in this game a year ago; Left End Ike Jones 22, a handy pass catcher and dangerous on reverse; Right End Ernie Stockert 50, for passes, and Fullback Cappy Smith 20. SC Captain, Bob Van Doren, To Miss Game LOS ANGELES (AP)—Capt. Bob Van Doren of Southern California's defensive platoon will not start against UCLA in tomorrow's big game, Trojan Coach Jess Hill said today. Van Doren suffered a slight concussion in last week's game against Washington and has been bothered by headaches all week. "Naturally, we will miss him," said Hill. "But no football game ever was worth a boy's health."

Because of this, Southern Californians live better, spend less. Even families of modest income enjoy this clean, modern fuel for cooking, water heating and house heating. Thousands use it for refrigeration and clothes drying too. Natural gas is also amazingly cheap in comparison with other items. What else costs as little today as it did ago? Certainly not food, clothing or hair nishings! In fact, your over-all cost of life just about doubled. But the price of gas for customer is still about the same as in 1938!

Anyone who owns a television set will be in position to judge whether Southern California or UCLA, as the case may be, is a strong enough aggregation to make things interesting for the Big 10 champion. Always before, in the six years since the coast conference was trapped into inviting the Midwest toughs to its big game, it has been necessary for the nation's fans to rely upon the written word of California football writers for an appraisal of the host team. This has led in some instances to a widespread notion the Rose Bowl game was going to be at least an epic and that the Big 10 champions might not even win it. Probably some persons who believe everything they read even lost money betting on some of the contests. If they do so this time they will have only themselves to blame. As a refresher course, we will give you the scores of the six games played thus far under the current Rose Bowl agreement: Illinois 45, UCLA 14; Michigan 49, USC 0; Northwestern 20, California 14; Ohio State 17, California 14; Michigan 14, California 8; Illinois 40, Stanford 7. That adds up to games: 6-0; points 185-55. The West Coast has at least proved it can take it, but there must be a great upsurge of hope that way every time some influential member of the Big 10, such as Dr. John Hannah of Michigan State, comes out and says he doesn't think bowl games are beneficial. This could, of course, be the big turning point. From all accounts, as usual, both teams you will see tomorrow by courtesy of the NCAA Television committee are big, rough, single-wing sluggers who can move the ball on the ground as well as through the air. This sounds promising, for no team which relies primarily on its passing game has much chance against a typical Big 10 club. This would be an awfully good year, incidentally, for the coast boys to break into the win column. Next year might be too late, because Michigan State becomes eligible to represent the Midwest bloc.
