Anaheim Netter Out of Tourney In Semi-Finals After surviving the first weekend play and advancing three rounds in the boys junior singles tennis championships and the second annual Whittier tournament, Mike Bouck of Anaheim finally lost out in the semi-final round to Joe Winkler of Los Angeles, 6-4, 6-3. Handcapped by the pressure of his first major tournament and a jaw badly swollen from a beating suffered the day before, Bouck was unable to pull his game up to a normal pace and was beat- Star Athletes Involved in New College Scandal WILLIAMSGURG, Va. (P) — A new scandal involving star athletes exploded at the troubled old college of William and Mary Monday when it was learned that some 30 students had been dismissed from school for violating the honor code. Seven football players and five basketball performers reportedly were involved in the scandal, the result of cheating on a final ROTC examination last month. Tight-lipped college officials declined to reveal names in this the second major scandal to rock William and Mary in a year and a half. Shakeup In August of 1931, there was a big shakeup in the school's athletic department after the disclosure that high school transcripts had been tampered with and grades jacked up to make athletes eligible for varsity sports. Eventually, the W&M president himself resigned as an outgrowth of the revelations. Monday's cribbing case was the worst to hit a major college since 90 cadets at the United States Military Academy were expelled for cheating in 1951. It was believed that only a Clean Up Is Urged By Committee By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA (P) — Sports leaders have demanded full scale congressional investigation and new laws to clean down on gambling and bribes amateur and professional athletics. A nine-man committee created by a former U.S. attorney general acknowledged a "wast infiltration" of gambling and bribery in sports and recommended methods of meeting the issue head-on. Their report was submitted to the U.S. attorney general's office last December by Francis T. Murray, committee chairman, athlete director at the University of Pennsylvania. Murray said at the time it would be up to the just department to release the report. Under Study The department has said no that the document is under study. Information on what the report contains was obtained Monday this reporter from a source that cannot be disclosed. The committee was organized more than a year ago by form After surviving the first week-end play and advancing three rounds in the boys' junior singles tennis championships and the second annual Whittier tournament, Mike Bouck of Anaheim finally lost out in the semi-final round to Joe Winkler of Los Angeles, 6-4, 6-3. Handcapped by the pressure of his first major tournament and a jaw badly swollen from a bee sting suffered the day before, Bouck was unable to pull his game up to a normal pace and was beaten by the narrow margin created by his own errors. The second weekend of tennis was one of general hard luck for the local netter which is one of the most promising juniors in the Anaheim Tennis club. Bouck had been informed during the week that his semi-final opponent was found to be overage, and had been forced to default, placing Bouck automatically in the finals. On reporting to the tournament desk for the final round, the Anaheim boy found that the tournament committee had reversed its field, deciding that it was unfair to those eliminated earlier to give the default in the semi-final round. The entire bracket was replayed with Bouck again going back to the semi-final section. The confusion, combined with his physical ailment, threw the local youngster completely off stride. In last week's play, Bouck defeated Harry Coleman of El Monte, 6-2, 6-3, Russell Olson of San Bernardino, 6-3, 6-1, and Bill Andrews of Whittier, 6-4, 6-0, to complete an unusually successful debut for a first start in a Southern California sanctioned tournament. Grace Lutheran Defeats Nazarene Scoring 23 of his team's 36 points, Gil Henning last night led the Zion Lutheran church to victory over the Church of Christ, 36-27, while in a second Church League basketball game the Church of the Nazarene defeated the Grace Lutheran church, 57-36. Snagging high point honors for the Nazarene team was Howard Bassett, who dropped 22 points into the bucket. High scorer for the losing Grace Lutheran five, posting 19 points, was Gene Gibson.

Eventually, the W&M president himself resigned as an outgrowth of the revelations. Monday's cribbing case was the worst to hit a major college since 90 cadets at the United States Military Academy were expelled for cheating in 1951. It was believed that only a small number of the students involved here actually cheated on the exam. The school's honor society found most of them guilty for failure to report those who did cheat. The honor system for American colleges was established at William and Mary in 1779. San Fernando Joins Women's Softball League San Fernando was accepted as the fifth team in the Pacific Coast Women's Softball league at the annual Board of Directors meeting held Sunday in the home of Shorty Hill, manager of the Buena Park Lynx. San Fernando will supplement Buena Park, Orange, Phoenix, and Fresno, who composed the league last year. The majority of the new club will be built around the disbanded Monterey Park team, which played last year in another league. The season schedule drawn up at the meeting calls for each team playing 40 games. All of the 1952 officers were retained for the new season; C. G. Chandler, Fresno, president; Ford Hoffman, Phoenix, vice president; and Kay Rich, last year's all-star shortstop from Fresho, secretary-treasurer. Others in attendance at the meeting were Dottie Wilkinson, Phoenix, all-star catcher; Elwood Case and Melita Forrester, Orange; Lou Mahoney, all-star third baseman and Coach Bud Everett, Buena Park. Representing San Fernando were Coach Ernie Lloyd and Manager Val Hammer. The local season opens May 4, pitting Buena Park against Orange, although several practice games are scheduled beforehand, Everett said. Durando Offers The only way we can fully reveal the impact of gambling on sports and the extent to which has infected them is to have an intensive investigation by a congressional committee, vested with the necessary prestige, power funds and facilities to delve further into the matter," he reported said. "Such an investigation should have to reveal the scope of gambling activities in sports and f..." Frisco 49ers Sign Star College End SAN. FRANCISCO (UP)—Harry Babcock, star end from the University of Georgia, signed a contract Monday to play for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League. The 49ers won the "bonus" choice at the recent league meeting and immediately chose the 8-foot-2 195-pounder. Babcock was one of the standouts for the eastern team in the East-west charity game here last Dec. He was named to the all-Southeastern conference team in 1951-52. MEN'S SUIT PRODUCTION NEW YORK (UP)—The men's clothing industry produced just under 19 million suits in 1952, according to Harry A. Cobrin, executive secretary of the Clothing Manufacturers' Association. In 1951 the industry turned out 19½ million suits. MORTALITY RATE DROPE TAIPEI-FORMosa (UP)—The mortality rate on Formosa Island, Nationalist China stronghold in the first six months of 1952 was the lowest in 50 years, says Yen Chun-Hui, commissioner of health. He reports the death at 9:08 per 1,000 population. DURANDO OFFERS TO MEET Young NEW YORK (UP)—Contender Ernie Durando of Bayonne, N.J., agreed to meet Paddy Young of New York in a middle-weight elimination bout, but Young's manager asked 24 hours to think it over. Durando's managers, Abe Bressler and Al Weill signed contracts with the International Boxing Club for a 12-round bout in Madison Square Garden, March 27. Harry Stickevers, manager of Young, said he would give the IBC his answer Tuesday. The joint board of the New York Athletic commission and the NBA ruled that Durando and Young should fight it out for the right to meet Carl Bobo Olson of San Francisco for the American middleweight crown with the winner to meet the victor of a European elimination between England's Randy Turpin and France's Charles Humez. PARMERS GET U. S. AID MANILA (UP)—The U.S. Mutual Security Agency has signed two agreements with a Philippine government agency which make available two million dollars for loans to farmers. Two MSA reports dealing with land tenure and rural conditions in the Philippines have urged sweeping reforms including crop loans at reasonable rates of interest.

S. Cage Team NEW YORK UP—For the fifth straight week undefeated Seton Hall ranks as the nation's No. 1 college basketball team in the Associated Press ranking poll. Racking up two more victories this week and with only six more to go to complete an unbeaten season, Coach Honey Russells Pine continue to dominate the show as the teams head into the home stretch with one eye on the few games and the other on tournament invitations. Barring a complete form reversal, Seton Hall likely will be in line for bids to both the NCAA and the National Invitation tournament. The Pirates are eligible for one of the "at-large" spots in 23-team NCAA event, but they appear more likely to follow fourth-ranked La Salle into the NIT. La Salle, which held fourth in the weekly rankings, behind Indiana and Washington, accepted a bid to the NIT Monday. As title defender, La Salle will be seeded for this event and won't risk elimination in a preliminary round. Indiana and Washington, both apparently heading for their conference championships, are NCAA tournament candidates. Placed first on 34 of the 83 ballots cast by sportwriters and broadcasters this week, Seton Hall polled a total of 707 points on the usual 10-9-8, etc. basis. Indiana, with 15 firsts and 644 points, polled up about 30 points closer to the leader than it was a week ago while Washington, with eight firsts and 561 points lost a little ground in the national race. Illinois, Indiana's leading rival for the Big Ten title, held fifth place behind La Salle. The rest of the first ten were shuffled around considerably after last week's returns were received. De Paul, ranked seventh a week ago, dropped to 14th place when it lost to Temple and Duquesne. Louisiana State, bidding impressively for the southeastern conference championship, jumped from eighth to sixth, showing Oklahoma A & M down a notch. Kansas State climbed from tenth to eighth and Kansas advanced from 14th to the tenth spot. Local Net Star Ranked 15th In Southland Ronald Brandon of the Southern California Automobile club in Anaheim was receiving the congratulations of local players and fans this morning on his 15th-place ranking in the Southern California tennis rankings for 1952 in the veteran's singles division. Rules require that for ranking a player must compete in a minimum of three sanctioned tournaments, one of which must be the Southern California or the Pacific Southwest in Los Angeles. This district which covers all tournaments between San Diego on the south and Bakersfield and Santa Barbara on the north, comprises one of the most competitive tennis areas in the United States. Herb Flam of Beverly Hills in the men's singles, and Maureen Connell of San Diego, feminine holder of the United States, Australia, and Wimbledon crowns in the women's singles, give some idea of the caliber of play. Local players will find Brandon in the role of a committeeman for the ninth annual Fullerton invitational tennis championships which get under way on the Fulberton high school courts Feb. 28. Method Only way we can fully impact gambling on and the extent to which it affected them, is to have an investigation by a conical committee, vested with necessary prestige, power, and facilities to delve fully into the matter," he report said. An investigation should reveal the scope of gamble activities in sports and the action of gamblers therein, to enlighten the people as ultimate effect of their ing on athletics, no matter what the wager amount." Committee said such an intention would reveal weakness in enforcement and strengthened laws to more closely control gambling, bribery and illegal activities inure. Report said that legislation the individual better; as the bookmaker, guilty of case would "act as a strong hit" and particularly would be the small gambler to respond placing illegal bets. Inimation of the small and non-professional gamble would greatly reduce the risk of gambling and ultimate on the elimination of gamble and bribery from sports," committee said. Saddler Flings Defy at Bassett WUERZBURG, Germany (P)—Featherweight champion Sandy Saddler, his dander up, says "I'm not afraid of any featherweight active today and I'll fight any of them, including Bassett, providing the money is right." Percy Bassett of Philadelphia is the interim world featherweight boxing champion. He won the title if Paris a week ago when he knocked out Frenchman Ray Pamechon, and will be recognized as top man in the class until Saddler, who was world champion, gets out of the Army in April, 1954. Saddler's dander was up because of a remark Bassett's manager, Mike Sokoloff, was reported to have made at the Paris fight, which Saddler attended. It was to the effect that Sandy had been "ducking" a fight with Bassett for the last two years. Saddler angrily told the U.S. Army newspaper, Stars and Stripes: "I'll fight Bassett anytime, anywhere." Davey in Shape For Gavilan Go CHICAGO (P)—The Illinois Athletic commission Monday was told that Chuck Davey was in excellent physical condition for his fight with Kid Gavilan; showed no symptoms of the flu and bad vitamin shot instead of a penicillin shot, a day before the bout.

If you were lucky you got one a year—in the toe of your Christmas stocking. Today, millions enjoy healthful orange juice packed in cans. The vitamins and minerals you get this way are just one example of an everyday miracle of modern living that every California family takes pretty much for granted. What brought about this miracle—and many others like it? The answer is simple. It was your demand for better, more appetizing, more healthful foods of all kinds. These demands were met by American business (including American Can Company), devoted to bringing you better products at lower cost. Satisfying your needs has created thousands of jobs in farming, food processing and distribution. It has required a lot of research—which has produced better and more convenient food containers. It has increased and stabilized farm income. It has even meant higher property values in some areas. In fact, it would be hard for you to go through a single day without enjoying many of the benefits that have resulted directly from the activities of the canning and can-making industries in your State. The 35,000 American Can Company people are proud of their part in this story of industrial progress. Your free choice in buying more and more of what you need in cans has enabled them to perform many miracles in the past—and to promise even greater things in the future.
