Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1953 ANAHEIM, GALIFORNIA Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (UP)—The hottest talk of conversation among this town's football fans in recent days is the manner in which Freddie Benners, the former Southern Methodist passing ace, has suddenly lifted the New York Giants to top the slack of their pants and pushed them into the thick of the race for the professional championship. The tall, rangy rookie had been sitting on the bench and picking up nothing but hip humps during the Giants' first eight games, in which they had posted the not impressive worst record of 5-3. After a fine start, the club's regular quarterback and passer, Charlie Conerly, had lost the knack of hitting his receivers. As far as three games back, the cry had gone up for Coach Steve Owen to forget his loyalty to Conerly and at least give Benners a shot at the job. "Do you want me to shoot Conerly just because he has a bad game or two?" Owen demanded. "Anyway, Benners is too fine a prospect to be thrown in there and ruined before he has learned the information thoroughly. He never worked from anything but the spread formation in college. I don't put him on such a spot until I know he's ready." And that was how matters good when Sunday's game began against the Redskins. It was taken for granted that if the Polo Grounders lost that one they would be out of the running for the title in their division. There was Conerly still crouched behind center, and the discontent among the Harlem alumni was vast. Before one quite knew what had happened, Washington was crampling the Giant defense and running up a 10-0 lead. The reaction of the Giants was somewhat electrifying. The kid looked as though he had been weaned on the T-formation. In 11 plays, mixing his tactics skillfully, he drove his club 77 yards to a touchdown, then he went 48 yards in seven plays for the winner. Another long march in the fourth period was broken up by a fumble near the goal line. In the course of turning an apparent rout into a vital 14-10 victory, Benners hit on eight of 13 passes for 113 yards. No Fauntleroy, Charles; He’s A Smasher Now CHICAGO (UP)—Ezzard Charles, who says he has forsaken his Little Lord Fauntleroy conduct in the ring and how is like a Dead End Kid, will try to smash veteran Jimmy Blivins into oblivion tonight at Chicago Stadium. Their scheduled 10-rounder will be televised nationally at 7 p.m., PST, but only about 4000 customers will be at ringside to see if Charles, the ex-heavyweight champion, keeps his promise. Charles at one point was recognized as quite a chiller, having scored 48 knockouts. Then he decided a good defense is better than a good offense, and promptly lost his title to Jersey Joe Walcott. Now he appears to be returning to the killer type. Tom Tannas, co-manager of Charles, says Esa is "a much better fighter now than when he won the title." Charles added: "I don’t intend to take any charge changes." Balboa Bay Club Site of Banquet Football players, conches, and guests will be honored at the fifth annual Orange Coast college football banquet to be held Wednesday evening at the Balboa Bay club overlooking Newport Harbor.

For Carter Bout NEW YORK (UP)—Johnny Gonsalves, a Johnny-come-lately from Oakland, Calif., thinks he is ready—but definitely—for a title shot at lightweight champ Jimmy Carter. "I saw Carter fight Lauro Salas on the Coast," he said. "I think I'm ready for him anytime. We all were surprised when Salas beat him. Out there we consider him a featherweight. "All my life I've had just one goal—to win the lightweight championship. I'll fight anybody to get the chance. I never saw this guy Orlando Zulueta I'm fighting Friday night but I don't care. I'll take anybody to get Carter." Gonsalves, a 22-year-old boxer of Portuguese descent, is a unique character in this date of three-weekly network television shows. He never has been on the national TV cable. Johnny appeared locally on TV in the San Francisco area but this is his big time debut. ANAHEIM GAZETTE, INC. Thodore B.

Bishop and Herbel Lead Colonist Cage Team to 62-35 Win over Brea-Olinda Anaheim's Colonist basketball team wrote their second victory into the record books yesterday afternoon at the high school gym by beating Brea-Olinda 62-35 in a practice game. The Anahl team presented a much smoother floor game against the Brea boys than they did at Downey last week. Although they won the Downey game 58-54, Coaca Bill Huntstock was not overly pleased with his team's attack. Coach Hunstock wouldn't commit himself to an outright approval of the team's entire game yesterday, since he was still in the process of evaluating the outcome. But he did think the offense was coming along nicely and that the defense was better on picking up their men. The Colonists led in the game all the way against the rather ineffective attack of the Brea team. The first quarter score was 21-10, but the half it was 30-17, the third quarter showed 50-27 and the final tally 62-35. Forward Gayle Herbel, coming along nicely since moving over from the Colonist grid team, was second high point. Northrop Beats Ritz Cleaners In Close Game Bob Williams beat Cotler's 49-7, Optimists beat El Toro 40-37 and Northrop beat Ritz Cleaners 0-39 in City League basketball games played at the high school gym last night. Hugh Faulkner scored 22 points or his Northrop team and they needed every one of them to finally beat the Ritz quintet. Jack Baber's 15 points weren't worth much man in yesterday's game, racking up 12 points. Guard George Bishop led the way with 13 points and Dean Philpott, another footballer, was third with nine points. The other two starters, Center Dave Moody and Forward Bill Ames accounted for seven and six points, respectively. Hunstock used every member of his squad yesterday, experimenting to see which combination could produce the most effective game. He feels things are progressing nicely, but that there is lots of work to be done yet. The Colonists had prepared a zone defense for Brea but the Breans started a man to man. Injured Gridder Sammy Azzara Gets Good News Sammy Azzarra who is receiving a host of AUHS friends from his hospital bed in the living room of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Azzarra on Main st., Stanton, is comfortable as a man in two casts can be. Through the efforts of Clinton Wells and Edward Trotter, also seniors who played in the game at Los Vegas when Sammy had his leg broken, Sammy has a set of metal bars to raise himself up in bed and a refreshment table and reading stand that can be wheeled right over the bed. This last piece of workmanship was delivered by the boys this week. They said this clever device was made in the AUHS workshop under the instruction of the workshop teacher Richard Ryan. Another piece of good news that comes via the grapevine is that since insurance for boys on the sound is not sufficient to game, Since that is the usual style used at Anahi it failed to weaken the local's attack. Amheim's next game is scheduled for this Friday at Bellflower at 8 p.m. Other varsity Colonists who scored points: Navarro, Frank—5. Roberts, Pat—2. Salazar, Paul—1. Wielhorn, Val—7. Amheim's Dee cage team beat La Jolla yesterday afternoon at Placentia 41-11. Ken Harker led the scoring with 13 points. The Cees weren't quite so lucky, losing 34-44 against the La Jolla Ceez. Ortiz of La Jolla scored 16 points. Oaks Manager OAKLAND UP—Augie Galan, former major league outfielder, today succeeded Mel Ott as manager of the Oakland Oaks. He had coached the Pacific Coast League Oaks under Ott the past season. Galan, 41, signed a one year contract. Ott had finished a two year contract. Galan started playing professional baseball in the Arizona-Texas League in 1931. He moved to San Francisco and hit .356 in 1933. He entered the majors with the Chicago Cubs the next year, and played outstanding ball until he injured both knee caps crashing into an outfield fence in 1941. He played later with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics. ANAHEIM RADIATOR REPAIR Rear Crowell Olds 252 North Los Angeles St. Anahim, Calif.
