4 Anaheim Gazette SUNDAY MORNING, Dec. 26, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Gazette SPORT Stage Set For Browns, Lions Game CLEVELAND, Dec. 27. (P) — Detroit's Lions, hot after their first pro football championship in 17 years, moved into the payoff game tomorrow against the "worried" Cleveland Browns. Around 50,000 are expected to turn out in sub-freezing temperatures and possible snow at Municipal stadium—more than 5000 making the 150-mile trip from Michigan for the joust. Odds favoring the Lions jumped after Cleveland Coach Paul Brown announced end Mack Speedie and halfback Dub Jones would miss the game because of injuries. Speedie leads the National league in pass catching. Jones, also a nifty ball grabber, once scored six touchdowns in one game. “This really hurts us,” Brown added. “There is the crux of our pass offense all shot to pieces. We’ll be without our top scoring threats.” Coach Buddy Parker of the Lions expressed doubt the two key men would really miss the game. I'll believe it when I see it," he declared. With or without Speedie and Jones, the Detroit coach still "This really hurts us," Brown added. "There is the crux of our pass offense all shot to pieces. We'll be without our top scoring threats." Coach Buddy Parker of the Lions expressed doubt the two key men would really miss the game. I'll believe it when I see it, he declared. With or without Speedie and Jones, the Detroit coach still thinks it will be an "even-stephen" game between the "two great clubs." He said the kiting odds wouldn't affect his team. "After all, they've played the Browns before and know what Cleveland has." Parker said. "Odds mean nothing to players." Neither does being an underdog." Detroit beat Cleveland, 17-6, earlier this season. Brown asked for the underdog roll in the past six championship games, but now he says it isn't "nearly as much fun" as he expected. This is the first championship game in which the Browns have been on the short end of the odds. Moneywise, each player gets at least $1000 out of the game, with the winners getting a few hundred dollars more than the losers. The weatherman predicts the mercury will be in the low 20's, the sky cloudy, some snow flurries and a 15 to 20 mile wind off Lake Erie. Both passers—Bobby Layne of Detroit and Cleveland's Otto Graham—are used to such dipping temperatures and it should not affect their throwing overly much. The field has been covered with a tarp and should be fairly dry—if hard. The Browns ended their practice by working out in tennis shoes in case it is really hard. Chico Cagers Win From Willamette CHICO, Calif., Dec. 27 (UP) — Chico State's basketball team turned on the heat late in the last quarter tonight to come behind and down Willamette University of Salem, Ore., 70-67. The Wildcats were trailing 67-58 with only three minutes to play when they suddenly got the range up 12 straight points while holding the visitors scoreless. Mighty Football Machines to Vie In Salad Bowl PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 27 (UP) — A collision of two mighty offensive football machines—liberally studded with former All-America and professional grid performers—is in store for an expected 18,000 Salad Bowl fans here Jan. 1. The sixth annual showing of the charity contest will put the San Diego Naval Training Center Blue-jackets against the undefeated Screaming Eagles of Camp Breckinridge, Ky. They are rated two of the top service teams in the nation. The Eagles, a 101st Airborne Division unit, rolled over all opposition in their regular season campaign, then climaxed their preparations for the New Year's Day battle with a 48-0 defeat of an Ohio Valley all-star team last week. That made San Diego NTC sit up and take notice. The sailors were generally favored to win until they took a 35-14 drubbing from Bolling Air Force Base in the Poinsetta Bowl at San Diego last week. Now the picture is completely scrambled, and there is good reason. NTC, defeated only by University of Southern California prior to the Bolling AFB contest, can boast of such backfield stars as Jim Monachino, Jim Waddell, Odie Posey and Dale Atkeson.

East Upsets West 20-4 Last-Minute Win Sparked By O'Connell SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27 (AP) —Eastern college all-stars, led by pass-pitching Tom O'Connell of Illinois, who set a new East-West passing record, scored a thrilling last-minute 21-20 victory over the West today in the 28th annual Shrine football classic. A capacity crowd of 62,000 fans in Kezar stadium, drenched by rain in the final period, saw the great Illinois quarterback engineer his teammates to the surprising win in the benefit game for crippled children. The All-America-studded West had lined up as a 6-point favorite. The Eastern team came from behind to win with a 71-yard aerial and ground drive. O'Connell threw three passes—among the 21 he completed for his record—in the march through the mud. With the ball on the 5-yard line, he handed off to halfback Bill Reynolds of Pittsburgh who swept around the West right end behind great blocking to score. Bob Haner of Villanova made his conversion score perfect for the day—three for three—as he booted the winning point. In the same period, the West had gone into a 20-14 lead when All-America quarterback Don Heinrich of Washington passed 24 yards to All-America left half Billy Vessels of Oklahoma.

In the same period, the West had gone into a 20-14 lead when All-America quarterback Don Heinrich of Washington passed 24 yards to All-America left half Billy Vessels of Oklahoma's Fleet Billy ran 25 yards more to score. Both teams scored touchdowns with the East leading at halftime 14-13. Beside the capacity crowd, millions saw the game which was nationally televised. The vast audience saw O'Connell win the plaudits of the crowd and become voted the most valuable player of the 1952 contest. His 21 completions out of 37 throws bettered the old mark of 14 out of 31 set by Don Klosterman of Loyola for the West last year. The thrill-packed engagement was played under skies so gloomy that the stadium lights had to be turned on in mid-afternoon. Recovered fumbles paved the way for three of the touchdowns. Early in the opening quarter, J. D. Kimmel of Houston, giant guard, recovered a fumble by O'Connell on the East 14. California's hard-hitting fullback, Johnhny Olszewski, drove through left guard for the last six yards. The East's Bill Reynolds of Pitt, rushed in to block the try for point by Nebraska's Bob Reynolds. Late in the same period, Ohio State's Tony Curcillo recovered Olszewski's fumble on the West 20-yard marker. The East moved the ball up to the six. From there O'Connell passed to Harry Babcock, great end from Georgia, in the end zone. Haner's conversion put the East ahead 7-6. The East scored from the West 22 in the second period after Bob O'Neil, defensive end from Notre Dame, recovered a fumble by Bob Reynolds. O'Connell completed one pass to Gene Gedman of Indiana, for nine and another to left half Don McAuliffe of Michigan State, for eight. McAuliffe drove through left tackle for the last yards. Haner again converted or 14-6 East. Leo Reise, defenseman on the New York Rangers, is also an accountant. PASADENA, Dec. 27 (UP)—The kickoff hour draws nearer and the margin of favoritism draws to co-champion of the Big Ten, and Southern Californian Most of the experts still lean toward Southern of these feel overly confident. The Wisconsin bandwagon is almost as crowded well represented among the Badger selectors are Witnesses. These Westerners have been well indoctrinated by the six previous visits of Big Ten teams to the Pasadena bowl—Illinois and Michigan twice, and Northwestern and Ohio State. Ignoring these experiences, which is a difficult matter of course, the Western observers feel: I. That Wisconsin is a far better team than some have tried to make them believe, and II. Trojans have yet to display championship offensive tactics. Most all agree that Coach Jess Hill's Trojans are tremendous, defensively. Only against Notre Dame to whom they lost were the Troys ineffective. Their season's feat of holding 10 foes to 2.8 yards per play as compared to the Badgers' 3.9., indicates this strength. Seemingly Wisconsin's defensive platoon is not as effective as that thrown up by Bob Paviani, Elmer Willhoite and Bob Van Dorren in the line or the two line-backers, Marvin Goux and George Timberlake. Notre Dame found a way, however, and admirers of Wisconsin Coach Ivy Williamson believe he is more than smart enough to do the same with his quick breaking T-style of play. Williamson has kept his practices closed to all but intimate followers of the Badgers. He has said he plans nothing particularly new in his attack. It'll be the usual T-stuff with "some spread formations," he declared. The Trojans might take this casual comment with a large grain of salt. The Williamson offense hammered out 3497 yards running and passing and averaged 5.2 yards each play. He is genuinely honest when he labels the SC defense as "tremendous," so it stands to reason he isn't going to be content to hit them with the "usual" attack he employed all season. Key man in this assault is the quarterback Jim Haluska, a sophomore from Racine who pitched 112 completions for 1410 yards touchdowns. Work horses in the right department are fullback Horse Ameche and right Jerry Witt. Wisconsin's worries are back are well known: I breakaway artist; Hail missed a lot of the season of injuries, and Bill filled in. Now Carl is new knee injury and won't start the game seems tical. Williamson has not unduly worried about merely pointed out that "nothing new." The contest will be held and telecast by the Broadcasting Co.

Evangelho, a six-foot five-incher, topped scoring with 21 points. Forward Len Tucker paced the Bulldogs with 20. USF led 18-16 after the first quarter, but Fresno took a 42-38 halftime edge, USF pulled ahead again 64-57 in the third quarter and outlasted the wearying Fresnans.

Stanford Cagers Spurt to Defeat Loyola 67 to 65 SAN JOSE, Dec. 27 (AP)—Stanford's basketball team stayed barely ahead of Loyola of Los Angeles most of the evening, and then put together a fourth quarter spurt to down the Southern California quintet, 67-57, tonight at the San Jose Civic auditorium. The game, opener of a double header which put together Santa Clara and San Jose State in the nightcap, was Loyola's second straight loss after seven wins. Santa Clara downed the Lions last night 82-67. Stanford held a first quarter edge of 12-8. Loyola thinned it to 25-24 at the half and Stanford came back to a 44-41 advantage when the third quarter ended. But the Indians, paced by Don Carlson and Ron Tomsiic, rang up 11 points in three minutes while a snift into a tight zone defense held Loyola scoreless. Tomsiic took game scoring honors with 26 points on 11 field goals and four free throws. Forward Johnny Kurtz topped the Lions with 19 points, scored mostly on long shot shots. San Diego State Beats New Mexico SAN DIEGO, Dec. 27 (AP)—San Diego State outscored New Mexico Western 69-63 in a tight basketball game tonight. San Diego led 39-42 at the half, but the visitors staged a strong rally in the closing minutes. Forward Bob Bradley was high scorer for the home team bucketing 26. ARCADIA, Dec. 27 (AP)—The Springhill Stable's De Anza won the $25,000 California Breeders Champion Stakes and Alfred G. Vanderbilt's First Glance captured the $20,000 Palso Verdes Handicap in a twin-bill racing feature at Santa Anita park today. A crowd estimated at 40,000 turned out in an afternoon that started drizzly and wound up with the clouds clearing away. Jockey Ralph Neves piloted De Anza to a surprise length and a half triumph in the mile and one-sixteenth Breeders stakes for California-bred 2-year-olds. The time was 1:45 1/5. The inquiry sign went up for the place and show finishers. As a result, C. L. Hirsch's Book Circle was awarded second and Ross and Brunk's Atomic Speed, the favorite with Eddie Arcaro aboard, moved into third. Merryman, which had raced second, was moved back to fourth for interference in the stretch. De Anza paid $14.69, $8 and $4.90; Book Circle $39.40 and $12.90, and Atomic Speed $3.20. In the Palos Verdes, Eric Guerin piloted Vanderbilt's First Glance into a half-length victory over another favorite, Reighs Bull, again with Arcaro up. Stranglehold finished third. The time for the six furlongs was 1:10 1/5. First Glance paid $12.20, $5.70 and $4.20; Reighs Bull $4 and $3, and Stranglehold $4.90. In the 2-year-old special, jockey Willie Shoemaker was thrown from Busterbegood, which stumbled leaving the gate. Shoemaker limped off the track. It was the second mishap of the afternoon. In the first race, Ray York was unseated and bruised in a spill when his mount, Delfan, stumbled at the start.
