(AP)—Several players were bruised and cut Monday night in a fight that broke out after the University of Louisville handed Seton Hall its second straight basketball defeat, 70-67. Harry Brooks, a Seton Hall guard, was taken to a hospital to see if stitches would be needed to close a gashed hip. Coaches of both teams spoused the other of using roughhouse tactics in a game that was played all the way in a high pitch of excitement. Both squads were drawn into the melee as two players from each team exchanged words after the game. Both Brooks and Billy Sullyan of Louisville were knocked down but opinions differed on which was struck first. Several persons said a spectator instead of a player hit Brooks after Brooks swung on Chet Beam of Louisville. Coach Honey Russell of Seton Hall said tempers were fired up by "roughhousing" on the part of Al Rusak, a substitute Louisville center. Coach Peck Hickman of Louisville blamed the troubles on Brooks. "Brooks appears to me to become a little belligerent when his team is losing" Hickman said. "He takes a wise guy attitude." Sullyan, who suffered a big hum on the side of his head.

She John Wallin-coached nine must take the back seat to the Varsity basketball team, for a while, as many of his key returning lettermen are playing for the local quintet in the big playoffs. Coach Wallin will have everyone in the game as he looks them over for the first time in game conditions. Val Wiethorn, last years starting hurler will see some action, but Wallin is looking for other pitching talent to supplement the proven work of his ace southpaw. In one of the practices it was noticed that Don Leigh, a transfer from Chicago, sported a good fast ball. Lupe Gonzales is back on the diamond at second base, but his keystone combination, Gayle Herdel is still doing yeoman work on the basketball courts. Gayle, last year's leading hitter, plus George Bishop, Joe Clark, Dave Moody, Dennis Ryan and others will be out to help the hardballers when the basketball season is over. Coach Wallin may be hard pressed to insert these boys into the lineup with many of the players out now fighting hard for the positions. Batting Practice ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—If the Washington Nationalists don't improve their hitting it won't be from lack of practice. Manager Bucky Harris is giving his team the longest batting workouts any Washington team ever has had. Sports Calendar TUESDAY C. I. F.

REPARE FOR RELAY — Anaheim high school tracksters try out new Santa Ana college track oval in preparation for the 3rd annual relay carnival to be held this year under sponsorship of Santa Ana High School. School at the Santa Ana College track oval. Shown above are Bob Calvo, Aaron Peralta, Erlin Eberhard and Dick Reed, all of Anaheim High School. Shorty-Five Invitations out to Annual Santa Ana High School Relay Carnival University of Houston Gridiron Solons Aiming at Top Brackets HOUSTON, Tex. (UP) University University of Houston Gridiron Solons Aiming at Top Brackets HOUSTON, Tex. UPI-University of Houston, which made quite a splash in big-time football last season, attacked the project through the schedule instead of high-pressure recruiting. That's what Coach Clyde Lee decided to do when he came in with the determination to make the school a top-fliighter. He said it would require about five years. He thought if an attractive schedule could be arranged the material would come in the natural course of events. So Lee and Harry Fouke, the athletic director, went after the top teams. It worked out. In 1949 the school scheduled its first major rival. That was William and Mary, which then was going great. Last fall Houston, now one of the biggest colleges in the country with its 13,287 enrollment, played three Southwest Conference schools—Texas A&M, Arkansas and Baylor—along with Mississippi of the Southeastern Conference-Houston won the Missouri Valley Conference championship, beating among others, Tulsa, which played in the Gator Bowl. The Cougars' record of eight victories against only two defeats to Texas A&M and Mississippi, each by a touchdown, was one of the best in the country. And the University also fanded its first All-America—J. D. Kimmel, offensive tackle who formerly played for Army. The season was a far cry from Lee's first year as coach. That season the school won five while losing six and sold a grand total of 25 season tickets. Last fall the university sold 10,327 season tickets and drew 180,000 for six home games. So rapidly did football grow that the Cougars started playing their games in the 72,000-seat stadium of Rice Institute, which is a member of the Southwest Conference. Houston had used a public school stadium that handled only 22,000 until 1950. The university was a junior college when it was founded in 1927. It became a senior college in 1934. In 1946 when it first fielded a football team it won four games while losing six. In 1947 it won three and lost eight. Lee arrived in 1948. His record has been: 1948—won five lost AUHS Basketball Team to Meet Strong San Diego The Anaheim High school basketball team will attempt to climb the ladder of the CIF Playoffs, as they meet the powerful San Diego High school team tonight at the AUHS gym. Game time is set for 8:00 p.m. Admission to this classic event will be $1.00 for adults and .50 for students. The Colonists won the toss of the coin for the privilege of playing here in Anaheim. This will give them the advantage of playing on their own court, but the powerful San Diego team is rated a slight favorite to win. The locals will be up for this crucial game, gaining confidence after upending the high-seeded Huntington Beach five. Winning that game from the League Champions gave the Hunstock quintet a new out-look on the coming playoffs. Probable starters for the Anaheim quintet, will be Bill Ames, the boy who tossed in 25 points against the lowering Oiler's last Saturday to lead his teammates for their stunning upset, at one of the forward spots. Gayle Herbel is slated to accompany Ames at the other forward position. Dave Moody will undoubtedly fill the center position, and 6'5" Dennis Ryan one guard slot. The remaining guard will be one of three or four boys. Rebounding Dean Philpot, hustler Joe Clark, veteran George Bishop, or the new addition to the team, automatic Mike Beach. Probably all of these mentioned will see plenty of action, but Beach, a sophmore, showed up very well in the last encounter with Huntington Beach. With Beach, in the lineup the Colonists have a good scoring five on the floor. It was Beach's clutch shooting in the final minutes that brought Anaheim their win over the Oil City five. The San Diego Hillers sport a large team, in that they have a rangy five, that not only dominates The Fullerton Junior college men's basketball team will work out on the Beach City College gym in preparation for their forthcoming game with Menlo Junior College, Saturday night at the LBC gym. The Eastern Conference champion will start the show rolling the first of four games to be played Thursday night. In other contests, Compton will play Rosa, Long Beach vs. Colo Sequois, and Antelope Valleys. Grant Tech. The basketball fan this is dream come true. Four great boys for the price of one. The alum fans will see two of local boys in action as both Goff and Dennis Denny have playing a good game at the by JC. Next season there will be 23 lettermen back—three more than last fall. The schedule includes the University of Texas, kingpin of the Southwest Conference; Texas A&M and Baylor and Oklahoma A&M, Detroit and Tulsa of the Missouri Valley Conference. Tennessee is expected to be scheduled for the first time and negotiations are under way to get three more top teams. There is a strong hint that Notre Dame will be on the card in 1954. The university has only about 150 less enrollment than Texas. It is self-supporting from tuition but gets funds from a $160,000,000 foundation through oil properties set up for it and a medical center in Houston by H. R. Cullen, the school's greatest backer. Last year Houston made application to get into the Southwest Conference. It didn't make it but that still is the goal, says Lee. He thinks the school would be an asset to the conference and would in no way cut down the attendance for Rice. "There is a vast territory that would mean big crowds each week-end in Houston." Lee says. "We would be playing in Houston one Saturday and away the next with Rice doing the same." Rice has taken the attitude that it would not be good for colleges in the same city to play each other, because of leads that might be generated. "UCLA and South- new addition to the team, automatic Mike Beach. Probably all of these mentioned will see plenty of action, but Beach, a sophmore, showed up very well in the last encounter with Huntington Beach. "With Beach, in the lineup the Colonists have a good scoring five on the floor. It was Beach's clutch shooting in the final minutes that brought Anaheim their win over the Oil City five. The San Diego Hillers sport a large team, in that they have a rangy five, that not only dominate the majority of the rebounds, but have used their height to an advantage to score also. This is evidenced by the 326 points their ace forward, Wally Pitts, has dumped through the basket during the Hillers 21 game season. Tom Coffield, the rebounding center for the San Diego ball club, is also a high scorer and the local team may be hard pressed to stop the attack of the bigger boys from the south. Brave Rookies Impress Grimm BRADENTON, Fla.-Bob Giggie, a 19-year-old right hander, and southpaw, Bill Wilson, a pair of rookies up from class B competition, impressed Manager Charlie Grimm Monday as the Boston Braves went through a two-and a half hour drill under a hot sun. Giggie who posted an 18-7 record with Hagerstown, Md., in the Inter-State league last year, displayed speed, control and a fine sinker. Wilson who compiled a 10-3 record with the same club after his graduation from Amherst college last June showed good control and excellent form. California haven't found it like this in Los Angeles," says Lee. "I would say that competition between University of Houston and Rice would be good for Houston." Gazette SPORTS Middlecoff Bangs out Three under Par to Win Playoff in Houston Open HOUSTON, Tex. (UP) — Cary Middlecoff banged out a three under par 69 Monday to win a five-way playoff for the Houston open golf tournament's four thousand dollar jackpot. The Memphis dentist was as deliberate on the sloshy, 7150-acre Memorial park course as if he were measuring a molar for a one way trip—or remembering that lapse on the 18th green Sunday when a missed three foot putt made a five-way jam in the top spot. Middlecoff held a two stroke edge over Jim Ferrier of San Francisco and Shelly Mayfield, Edarhurst, N.Y. Earl Stewart, Jr., of Dallas, was surorth with an even par, 72. Bill Nary of Los Angeles was sixth with a 75. A crowd estimated at from 3-40 to 5,000 braved misting rain and soggy, muddy ground to watch the rare five-way playoff. Nazarenes Win Crown in Church Cage League The Nazarane church basketball team won the Church league title last night without ever running away. Players Claim Walkout Proper If Tournament Golf Courses Poor Anaheim Netters Win Honors in Fullerton Tourney Mary Flynn, Dick Hanson and Ron Brandon took the honors as the only netters' original 17 players from Anaheim to remain in the ninth annual Fullerton tennis championships after the first week end of play had been completed. Miss Flynn gained the semifinals of the girls' singles with a first round bye, a second round 6-0, 6-1, defeat of Margie Williams of Whittier, and a quarterfinal victory over June Pearson of Los Angeles, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4. She returns to the Fullerton high school courts Saturday for the semi-final match against Janice Sterley of Bakersfield. Hanson also drew a first round bye, won a second round 6-1, 6-0, against Bob Hawkey of Bellflower, and a third round match, 6-3, 8-6 with Tom Ryan of San Ber- BY HAROLD V. RATLIFF EL PASO, Tex. (UP)—Should a top golfer pick up during a tournament? That question was batted around plenty here during the El Paso Open tournament when such stars as Cary Middlecoff and Lew Worsham quit in the middle of a round in protest over the condition of the course. The golfers say it's entirely proper and that the player should pick up if he isn't doing well. The tournament sponsors don't like it because it hurts the gate. Middlecoff caused most of the furore when he stalked off the course in the first round, complaining that he never before had three-putted three holes in a row and gone over par on six holes straight. Compared to Baseballers There are 100 golfers on the tour who compare with 100 major league baseball players." said Middlecoff. "The baseball players have the proper facilities. With this course in the condition it was, the tournament should have been cancelled. The top men of golf deserve the proper facilities to play." Nazarenes Win Crown in Church Cage League The Nazarane church basketball team won the Church league title last night without even walking the court. Their opponent, Bethel Baptist, led to show. In the other two games First Baptist dropped Zion Lutheran, 23, and Grace Lutheran won a 35 decision over the Church of Christ. First Baptist ended in the second spot in league standings with 12 and three record. All of the baptist losses were to the Nazene team. Grace Lutheran and on Lutheran occupied the third and fourth places. The Church league playoff will begin Monday with the Nazarene being with the third place Grace Lutheran five. In the games played last night, no Clamp took scoring honors or the evening as he sank 19 points in the First Baptist game, who was followed in scoring by John Steinborn with 12. Wayne Davies and John Bultena Grace Lutheran hit for 16 and respectively, to lead their team its victory over the C. C. of King. Richard Carrol and Bob Kearnd connected for 13 and 12 of the losers. ON VS. FIRST BAPISTIST Miss Flynn gained the semi-finals of the girls' singles with a first round bye, a second round 6-0, defeat of Margie Williams of Whittier, and a quarterfinal victory over June Pearson of Los Angeles, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4. She returns to the Fullerton high school courts Saturday for the semi-final match against Janice Sierley of Bakersfield. Hanson also drew a first round bye, won a second round 6-1, 6-0, against Bob Hawkey of Bellflower, and a third round match, 6-3, 8-6 with Tom Ryan of San Bernardino. Because of the large boys' singles card, the three wins still put Hanson only in the quarter final round where he faces Bill Reed, Jr., of Santa Ana when play is resumed next weekend. Ronald Brandon of Anaheim, playing in the veterans' singles received a first round bye, and then defeated Hubert Mau of Bakersfield, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, to go into the quarter final round against Robert Abnot of Los Angeles.
