Santa Ana’s Donn Moomaw Tabbed Lineman of Year By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr. NEW YORK, Dec. 8. UP—Don Moomaw, a guy with double letters in his name who deals out double damage with his tackling, was the outstanding lineman in college football during the 1952 season, in the opinion of the nation’s sports writers and broadcasters. Moomaw, the all-America linebacker from UCLA and nearby Santa Ana, was chosen in the annual Associated Press post-season balloting over 35 rivals from every section of the country. In a season during which defensive play was stressed by most of the major teams and linebackers received special attention, Moomaw was a standout in his department. He’s a huge hunk of man, six feet four inches tall and weighing 222 pounds and moves up to tackle runners with agility as well as force. Moomaw’s line backing was one big reason why only eight touchdowns were scored against UCLA in nine games during the past season. And in spite of his fearsome reputation as a tackler, he never has been charged with undue roughness. He just doesn’t let anyone get by. Still Moomaw barely managed to beat out another big, rugged character, center Tom Catlin of Oklahoma in the balloting. Moomaw received 31 votes to Catlin’s 29. Another linebacker, Dick Tamburo of Michigan State, was third with 16 votes. Moomaw received a strong vote Badger Official Finds Rose Bowl Setup ‘Ideal’ PASADENA, Dec. 8. UP—The University of Wisconsin’s business manager, William Aspinwall, took an official look at the Rose bowl site today and pronounced it ideal. Aspinwall was here to ar range for the invasion of the Badger forces for the New Year’s day football game — the Big Ten co-champion team, the 53-piece school hand and thousands of rookers from the midwest. His visit was coincidental with the annual meeting here of the Pacific coast conference which concerned itself with numerous intercollegiate matters including the Rose bowl game. Conference spokesman H. P. Everest of Washington said the faculty representatives discussed Rose bowl game details. But he said he doubted if anything of a concrete nature would be decided at this meeting about renewal of the conference contract with the Tournament of Roses association. The conference has until March 15, 1954, to notify the Rose committee about renewing the contract. Operational details of the coming post-season game were discussed by the conference bowl committee, headed by the host school’s athletic direc- Old Pro Himself Sammy Baugh, Finally Retiring WASHINFTON, Dec. 8 Sammy Baugh, possibly the best passer in football history nounced today he will retire one more game.

Mystery Results From Charges of Rough Playing PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 8 (UP)—The biggest mystery at the Pacific Coast Conference meeting tonight concerned movies of the Stanford-Southern California football game. There were reports that Stanford brought the pictures here to be shown, presumably to the conference coaches. Stanford officials denied such a thing, however, and conference officials said it was news to them. Stanford Coach Chuck Taylor denied one report that he had accused USC of rough playing, but he did say that there might be a question involved of officiating the game. Frank McCormick, supervisor of PCC officials, said this was news to him, too, and that no one had questioned the officiating as far as he knew. H. P. Everest of Washington, conference spokesman, promised to look into the matter on the urging of sports writers. Last year Everest brought movies to the conference meeting of the USC-Washington game, but only to demonstrate the need of a fifth official, he said. The fifth official was added this year. H. P.

Illinois Choice to Repeat By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN AP Newsfeatures CHICAGO — Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota selections of coaches to be ringleaders of the Big Ten basketball title grind through an expanded 18 game schedule. Illinois has lost only two of its first 10 men on last season's championship outfit and is a unanimous choice to repeat for the crown. Indiana and Minnesota are ranked the closest contenders, and Northwestern possibly the No. 1 darkhorse. With the addition of four more conference games, each team will get two cracks at each other on a home and home basis. Coaches agree that this will make the race more wide open and provide a "true champion." 14-4 Could Win Title "The 18 game schedule definitely could be a levelling factor," says coach Harry Combes of Illinois. "Most teams go in streaks and the addition of four more league games; two of which must be on the road, might wreck the chances of any club. No team is likely to go unbeaten and a record of 14-4 could be good enough for the title." Coach Bud Foster of Wisconsin agrees with Combes. "The new schedule enables us to get away from top teams playing each other only once and getting the best breaks in arranging home games," says Foster. "We probably will have our first honors, 100 per cent championship—fair to everyone and a scramble down to the last game." Illinois not only rates high in the Big Ten but also figures among the first five nationally in pre-season polls. Only one sophomore is likely to break into an otherwise veteran starting five. The newcomer Ed Makovsky, 6-5 guard from cero, a Chicago suburb, H team with Capt. Jim Breden, 10 senior, on the back line. At center is John Kerr Jr., junior. Two seniors are at ward slots, Clive Follmer, 6-3½, Irv Bemoras, 6-3½. Two Are Sophomores So packed is Illinois, with soned talent, only two sophomores are listed among seven players. They are Jim Dutcher, 6-3 ward from Downers Grove and Elmer Plew, 6-0 guard, is, Ill. Minnesota is geared by Eileafat, junior center from Amda, Mont., and Chuck Mencel phomore guard from Eau Claire. They averaged 14.6 points, respectively, to top the phers scoring season. Two 1951-52 reserves, C Bennett and Earl Johnson, teamed at guard with sharper Mencel. Capt.

Two of the loftiest players SORTS Old Pro Himself, Sammy Baugh, is Finally Retiring WASHINFTON, Dec. 8. (AP)—Sammy Baugh, possibly the great passer in football history, announced today he will retire after more game. Baugh will play against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, and then quit after 25 incredible years as a player. This is his 60th year in the National Football league. That’s longer than any other player ever lasted. The announcement concerned by Baugh the player. Baugh also can assistant coach. It wasn’t war whether Baugh would return help coach next year or wheth- he would stay on his ranch or Rotan, Tex. As a pro, Baugh has gained more than 23,000 yards with his passes. That’s more than 12 miles. He has thrown the most passes, the league the most often, completed the most passes, gained most yards, thrown the most chickdown passes and had the highest percentage of completions any pro football player. Twice he has thrown six touchdown passes in a game against the New York Yanks in 448, his passes picked up 446 yards. In six different occasions, in 7, 1940, 1943, 1945, 1947 and 1949, the official statistics made the league’s top passer. For lety, he also has been the league’s top punter and its lead-pass interceptor.

Their high-powered opposition, which included the AAU San Pedro Dolphins (74-71), Peperdine college (73-70) and Saturday night's strong Air Force five (70-64), are all teams which practice everyday and are perfectly conditioned. The TVers do only one thing—"play." This week they played too often. Minus two of their stars—center Hugh Faulkner and Don Liebhart, the TVers were handicapped against the experienced fives. Faulkner sprained an ankle against San Pedro Thursday and missed both of the other games. Don Liebhart spent the weekend scouting the University of Hawaii against SC.

Salas weighed 131 to Collins' 128. The tough little Mexican dumped Collins with a first round left hook and then—after Collins took the mandatory eight count on one knee—unleased a savaga two fist-ed assault that left Collins helpless on the floor, only to be saved by the bell as the count reached seven. The Boston battle; was dragged to his corner by his handlers, but was strong enough to slug through on even terms in the second session and then begin a terrific comeback that gave him the fight by a large margin.

Bad Back Forces Cancellation of Heavyweight Bout LONDON, Dec. 8 (AP) Jack Hurley, usually a happy, gabby, fight manager, sat dejectedly in his hotel room tonight talking about the ailing back of his heavyweight Harry Kid Matthews and "the loss of one of the biggest purses ever offered us." Matthews had just cancelled his Wednesday fight with British heavyweight champion Johnny Williams when a five-day-old injury to his lower back failed to heal. "Why, the boy hardly could get off a punch," Hurley said in describing a short, unsuccessful, unhappy workout Matthews took to determine if he was fit to meet Williams. Matthews' aimment was called a pulled muscle. Jack Solomons, London fight promoter, watched Matthews for a moment during the workout and called the Seattle, Wash., heavy out of the ring. "Come out Harry," Solomons said, "there's no point in killing yourself." After announcing Matthews could not fight, Solomon said he would substitute Werner Wiegand, champion of Luxembourg, in the card at Harringay arena.

Seixas' triumph came three weeks before the Davis Cup challenge round, which will be played at Adelaide, Dec. 29, 30, 31, and convinced the spectators that Australia's "sure thing" no longer is sure. Before today's final began at Kooyong, there were plenty of admirers around the courts prepared to lay 3-1 on Sedgman's winning his third successive Victorian title. Now they're not so certain that Australia can be sure of two matches in the Davis Cup final—Sedgman's two singles. As soon as the match was over Seixas and Hamilton Richardson of Baton Rouge, La., prepared to leave by plane for Sydney, where they were to join teammates Tony Trabert of Chicago and Straight Clark of Pasadena, and begin serious preparation for the cup matches. The Americans are scheduled to play either Italy or India in the inter-zone final at Sydney, Dec. 18, 19, 20. Trabert and Clark arrived there Saturday and American Davis Cup Manager Alric Man went to meet them, missing today's final. Richardson and Maureen Connolly of San Diego, defaulted their mixed doubles and semifinal at match point in order that Ham's departure would not be delayed They were leading Don Candy and Mrs. Mary Hawthon, 6-4, 6-5, 40-30, with Maureen serving, when they defaulted. Earlier today Miss Connolly became the third American to win the Victorian women's singles title, beating Julie Sampson of San Marino, Calif., 6-2, 6-3, on courts that still were slippery from three days of rain. Previous American winners were Dorothy Bunday in 1937 and Doris Hart in 1948. ANAHEIM RADIATOR REPAIR Rear Crowell Olds 252 North Los Angeles St. PHONE: 509-278-5000
