Loara High Sports By STEVE MILNER As opening game with Nogales nears, Loara head coach Herb Hill will have the additional problem of deciding new quarterback for the new Orange League entry. Larry Lawrence, last season's starring quarterback, will be out of action this year due to a summer leg injury. It is hoped that Larry, who gathered all-Inland League football honors in Loara's infant year, will be back with the constantly improving Saxon squad in his senior year. At the moment, there are two sophomore hopefuls competing for the quarterback slot. They are Dick Armstrong of Trident Junior High and Dale Winterberg of Ball Junior High. Dick is the younger brother of John Armstrong, letter winner in football, basketball, and baseball. "Dark Horses" Herb would make no predictions for the coming season, but remarked: "We're a dark horse. We're untested. No one knows what we can do against the Orange League — not even ourselves." Last year, Loara held an undisputed second berth in the infant Inland League. Tonight's game with Nogales will be the only contest on Loara's schedule with a precedent, as the two teams "I want to be recognized as a pitcher." With this goal in mind, Los Angeles Angel left-hander Bo Belinsky hopes to continue pitching "baseball with a story" for quite a while. Belinsky, the fabled southpaw, would like people to recognize his pitching abilities rather than his off-field exploits. "I don't like all the dramatization of everything I do," Belinsky complains. He claims reports get ridiculously out of hand in some cases. Actually, it was Belinsky's pitching that first thrust him into the spotlight. He opened the 1962 with a string of wins and started receiving rookie of the year support. His no-hitter brought his cinderella story to a climax. Since his no-hitter, he has constantly been in the spotlight. "I exposed myself too soon," he observes. The no-hitter, any pitcher's dream, has been turned into a nightmare for Belinsky because he hasn't been able to relax since then. On the field, his record dipped to 1-7 this year. Reports of off-the-field "endeavors" constantly circulated. Finally the Angels sent Bo to Hawaii. "I was bitter," Belinsky recalls. At a cost of $8,000 in salary, the southpaw stayed out of baseball for more than a month. "I didn't think it was necessary that I be a patsy for the team's bad year," he explains. "No one was doing great." Belinsky lost a couple of games in which he received little support. "With a little luck, I could have been 5-3 or even 6-2 instead of 1-7," he feels. Belinsky feels the layoff was worth the money it cost him. "It gest drawing card in the Pac-12 Coast League while with the landers. 'It always feels good draw,' the lefty smiles. "I drew crowds and helped a won games to help myself." Angel manager Bill Rigney serts that Bo is looking best now than he did before being down. "He is looking like pitcher we felt he was," Rigney plains. Forced to choose between glamor of the movies and frustration of pitching a baseball it looks like Bo has come back to play. If all his playing is done on field, he may succeed in his drive to change his name. Belinsky, the darling of Hollywood, wants to go into the box as Belinsky, the Angel's a southpaw. College Playbill Scheduled A frothy mixture of Shak speare and modern dress, spice with rock 'n' roll, is on the Oange Coast College Theatre for season playbill. Theatre Arts instructor Lucien D. Scott says his OCC Player will present William Shak speare's "Two Gentlemen From Verona" Nov. 21, 22 and 23. Auditions for OCC student-aftors aiming for parts in the Elk abethan comedy will be conducted. Herb would make no predictions for the coming season, but remarked: "We're a dark horse. We're untested. No one knows what we can do against the Orange League — not even ourselves." Last year, Loara held an undisputed second berth in the infant Inland League. Tonight's game with Nogales will be the only contest on Loara's schedule with a precedent, as the two teams battled each other twice in Inland league action. The resulting scores were 7-7 and 34-27 in Loara's favor. Coach Hill remarked: Our 7-7 game was exactly what it should have been. Thursday, we'll take it up from there, and we'll find out if our boys have worked harder and improved more than there's." Squad Reduced With 55 hopefuls out for varsity, the squad has been cut down to a 33-35 man road team. As last year, Hill will use a modified T formation, and, for variety, the I formation may be used. As things look, Hill will probably use Mike Lind and either Mike Anderson or Ken Griggs as ends, tackles Dennis Delfs, and Jim Carlson, Bob Davie and Dale Pekarek as guards, and Mike Carr at center. In the backfield, Dave Dykes and either John Armstrong or Steve Buchleiter will be at half-back. All-league Jon Wheaton will return to fullback spot, and the battle for quarterback between Armstrong and Winterberg still goes on. On defense, the front line will probably include Dennis Delfs, Mike Carr, Dale Pekarek, and Steve Lehmer, with Gary Hering pressing hard as competition Linebacker will probably be Bob Davie, Earl McKay, and Steve Buchleiter. Steve Ditmar is applying pressure to Dykes, Griggs, Lind, and Ullom for secondary positions. Coaches Under head coach Herb Hill are Bill Hicks, line coach; Gib Dear, backfield coach; and Glen Thomas (formerly of Fremont), end coach. As Loara emerges into the Orange League in its second year of operation, Loara will play each game as it comes. Kickoff for tonight's contest at $8,000 in salary, the southpaw stayed out of baseball for more than a month. "I didn't think it was necessary that I be a patsy for the team's bad year," he explains. "No one was doing great." Belinsky lost a couple of games in which he received little support. "With a little luck, I could have been 5-3 or even 6-2 instead of 1-7," he feels. Belinsky feels the layoff was worth the money it cost him. "It got the bitterness out of me. I wouldn't have been ready if I went down right away," he reveals. While on the sidelines, Belinsky wasn't sitting around polishing his sun glasses. "I had a few deals going," he admits. He said most of the deals involved long term, seven or eight year contracts and he wanted no part of being tied down for so long. "I would have stayed out if I could have gotten a one or two year contract," Belinsky reveals. "I had to make a fast move. I had to take a long term contract and quit playing baseball or get back into baseball," he continues. "So I refused the long term offers and came back. When I reported to Hawaii, I wanted to play baseball. "I had to push myself to get back into shape," recalls Belinsky as he ponders his first few day in Hawaii. After two weeks he had fired a nine inning shutout. "My heart is competitive and I'd want to do my best to help if I was in D or semi-pro ball. I just wish people would leave me alone — I know when I pitch badly." While at Hawaii, Belinsky just tried to work out his rythm and form. He didn't work on specific pitches: "I wasn't going to start outguessing myself." Belinsky proved to be the big- One Unit Set Scott plans a "large one-up set" to create a modern Italian coffee house atmosphere. Collections are to be ultra-modern Italian style. Shakespeare's forest scenes in "Two Gentlemen" will be set at the coffee houses. The "outlaw" described by Shakespeare in the play will be modern leather jackets, booted motorcyclists. Scott describes "Two Gentlemen from Verona" as a "frothy, light comedy, which Shakespeare wrote as a parody of his own style." It mix-up of love couples — how to win the girl and how to convince her father. It's not serious at all — in fact, we're going to put in a little rock 'n' roll." Taking Liberties Scott admits, "We're going to take all kinds of liberties with Shakespeare, but," he adds, "don't think Shakespeare would mind at all." One casting problem already faces the director. "I need a fun dog." Scott says, "He needs to be a baggy-pants comic of a dog. He's got to be able to sit and let an actor talk to him." Rare Play Chosen Scott says he chose to produce "Two Gentlemen from Verona" for OCC's 1963 fall play because this year is the quadricentennial of William S. Shakespeare's birth. "Players are doing Shakespeare all over the country. I thought we'd choose a play that is rarely done." Coaches Under head coach Herb Hill are Bill Hicks, line coach; Gib Dear, backfield coach, and Glen Thomas (formerly of Fremont), end coach. As Loara emerges into the Orange League in its second year of operation, Loara will play each game as it comes.

Doormat Owls Eye EC With Optimism Citrus College eyes its nine game Eastern Conference schedule with a note of optimism. The Owls have a new coach, new uniforms and a new stadium, plus an original turnout of 60 prospects and some excellent prep transfers. Dave Peterson, who look over the coaching reins from Sam Vokes, is schooled in the positive thinking trend. He played for three years under the late Red Sanders. Peterson has as his assistants Jack Kakuuchi and Frank Anderson, who joins the Owl staff after four year at Clovis High in Fresno. In addition, Bill Kilmer, former Citrus College great and currently employed by the San Francisco Forty-Niners, is helping with the practice session while his injured ankle mends. Nine letter-winners were on hand for the opening workouts, but veteran quarterback Kris Karelius had to drop from the squad. He and his roommate, Richard Scott, a promising All-League guard from Birmingham High in Los Angeles, both came down with mononucleosis. Veteran ends Conrad Wozney and John Rhodes, place-kicking specialist Dan Keyes, 60-minute man Pat Cushing, Phil Holmes, former quarterback who is being switched to end, halfbacks Bob Gross and Tom Bruner and quarterback Joe Rife are back in the fold. Giant tackle Charley Davis from Detroit, who red-shirted for the Owls in 1961, and guard Jim Simmons, who sat out his eligibility last year, are expected to help. Darwin Ball, who played last year for the UCLA frosh, looks like an excellent end prospect, and swift Pat Collier, a starter in '61 before getting tangled in eligibility red-tape, is expected to grab a halfback berth. Among the promising newcomers are a trio of stars from last year's Monrovia eleven, tackle, Art Forrest and backs Dennis Wadkins and Bruce Hall. Judd Lincoln, who starred on the '61 Wildcat team, is also in the fold and looking good at halfback. City of Orange Mayor Max Reynolds has been nominated to serve as president of the Orange County League of Cities next year. Reynolds name was submitted by the nominating committee last night. He currently serves the League as vice president. Under the chairmanship of La Habra Mayor Bruce Ward, the committee also recommended San Clemente City Councilman Stanley Northrup be named vice president and Santa Ana Mayor Al Hall continue as the League's representative on the state board. Reynolds would succeed Durane Winters, Fullerton City councilman, if he is elected. Winters has served two term. Election will be held at the Leagues Sept. 25 meeting at the Santa Ana Elks Club. Nominations will be taken from the floor at that time. College Paybill scheduled Bothy mixture of Shake- and modern dress, spiced cock 'n' roll, is on the Or- Coast College Theatre fall playbill.

It's a billion-dollar savings association that gives you federal charter protection, too. California Federal is the first association in the nation to provide both protections. Assets over $1 billion put giant strength behind your savings. And, as a federally-chartered association, accounts are supervised under strict provisions of a permanent agency of the United States Government. Provisions of another agency, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, insure accounts. It took 38 years of sound management to build this giant California Federal protection for your savings. It takes just minutes to open your California Federal savings account and enjoy billion-dollar strength plus federal charter protection. There's nothing better. 4.8% CURRENT ANNUAL RATE • 4 DIVIDENDS A YEAR OPINIONS People Should Demand Distinctive City Hall Proponents of the $12,400,000 Anaheim bond issue to be voted on Oct. 8 have wisely insisted that foresight be used in planning a new City Hall. City officials have provided for professional space studies before architects are consulted. Survey reports indicate that the city's minimum requirements call for 50,000 square feet of space, not including elevators. City Hall and all the rented space occupied by city offices provide only 2,000 square feet of jammed space. The $3,000,000 outlay asked for a new City Hall should be adequate. Provisions should be made by the architects, however, for additions to the facility in the future. Ten years from now Anaheim may find itself in another pinch for office space. Besides providing for expansion, Anaheim should go to the ends of the earth to find a spectacular but practical design for this building. Let's not stop with just another functional structure but insist on one that will, if possible, match Anaheim's distinction as the home of the greatest entertainment facility in the world—Disneyland. Rafferty Should Of Said That A member of a local school board asked Dr. Max Rafferty, State Director Education, if something couldn't be done about "the murdering of the king's English by cowboy TV actors." Dr. Rafferty reminded the questioner that such actors are portraying characters who are expected to use imperfect English. Let us add that they should be expected to speak with a Hereford accent.
