ANAHEIM GAZETTE Sports News Thursday, October 24, 1963 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA CRYSTAL BALL By DOUG HUFF Ouch! One more week of mispredictions like last week and we'll be another Len Mangle, a sports editor friend of ours. After a couple of weeks of picking all but one game right we slipped and lost both Fullerton JC and Magnolia High. To make matters worse, Magnolia is our alma mater and we been goofed up twice by them. But let by gones be by gones and we're off to better our 81.5 per cent average this week. ANAHEIM vs Newport Harbor at La Palma tonight at 8 p.m. When you pit a first place team with a seventh place team the only prediction we can make is ANAHEIM by 18. LOARA vs Lowell at La Habra Friday night 8 p.m. According to our Loara Stringer both schools have a pretty good team this year and this could be close. Loara lost to Laguna Beach last Saturday 6-0 as forecast. In return we say LOARA by TWO. MAGNOLIA at Tustin, I hate to even predict Magnolia footwill most likely lose, but we must be bold and pick SERVITE by TWO. WESTERN vs Westminster at La Palma Friday night 8 p.m. All Anaheim residents are urged to get out and see this one. This is the start of the "PUMPKIN BOWL," something that Anaheim C of C officials hope will become traditional between Western and Anaheim. In picking this games winner we say WESTERN by SIX. EC Games FULLERTON vs. Riverside Saturday night in Fullerton Stadium. After a great comeback last Friday at San Berdoo the Hornets collapsed defensively and the Hornets lost 28-20 thus giving our ball its second stinging of the week. As Riverside is in Fourth place in Eastern Conference standings and Fullerton in the cellar the only thing we can predict is RIVERSIDE by 14. Upset possible. ORANGE COAST at Mt SAC Saturday night. This is the JC game of the week. Both schools are tied at the top in EC stand. Loara High Sport By STEVE MILNEY The Artists of Laguna put together a late score tack to tip the Loara 6-0 at La Palma Stadium Saturday night. The contest the Saxons with a 2-1 record and a 3-2 mark the season. The lone touchdown with less than three m left to play in the third when Saxon quarterback Armstrong fumbled to L on the Loara 13. Laguna Wally Lansdale, out for near the end zone, leap and held onto a falling from quarterback Dennier. Falling toward L goal, Lansdale was able achieve the touchdown fingertip's length. The kick for the convoy was blocked, but Laguna the lead which was never linquished. Both teams threatened eral times during the game Artist touchdown was o as a clipping penalty came out a beautiful 54 yard r Laguna halfback Jerry This would - be touchdown cured about three minutes fore Laguna's touchdown. Saxon Roll Stopped After recovering a fumble the Saxon 44, Dick Arms fired to his brother John carried 18 yards to the 38. On fourth and six, strong pitched out to halt Dave Dykes who ran a nine power play for the first on the Laguna 27. Another the only prediction we can make is ANAHEIM by 18. LOARA vs Lowell at La Habra Friday night 8 p.m. According to our Loara Stringer both schools have a pretty good team this year and this could be close. Loara lost to Laguna Beach last Saturday 6-0 as forecast. In return we say LOARA by TWO. MAGNOLIA at Tustin, I hate to even predict Magnolia football games anymore. But Magnolia looks like a sure bet since even Orange High walloped Tustin in one of few victories OHS ever has. Magnolia by 13. SAVANNA vs Lowell at La Habra Stadium Saturday night. We weer just a mite conservative when picking Savanna last week. SAVANNA by 20. "Pumpkin Bowl" SERVITE vs Mater Dei at the Santa Ana Municipal Bowl tonight. This will be the game of the week. These two teams have what possibly may be termed the two best teams in the county. Anything can happen tonight and probably will. Whichever team we pick to win Hornets collapsed defensively and the Hornets lost 28-20 thus giving our ball its second stinging of the week. As Riverside is in Fourth place in Eastern Conference standings and Fullerton in the cellar the only thing we can predict is RIVERSIDE by 14. Upset possible. ORANGE COAST at Mt SAC Saturday night. This is the JC game of the week. Both schools are tied at the top in EC standings and since only one team can come out the victor let it be ORANGE COAST by TWO. Upset possible here too. SANTA ANA at Chaffey Saturday night. Looks like a good game here too. However the less said about what Santa Ana has done so far this year the better. Santa Ana could take Chaffey if they were mentally up to it but as of the moment CHAFFEY by 12. That wraps it up for another week, Sports Fans. Looks like a lot of upsets possible, so keep your fingers crossed and remember ya can't win 'em all cause that's the way the ol' ball bounces...

'Do or Die' Game Friday By RICK McQUISTON After breezing by Newport and Rancho in the last two weeks, it's time for Western High School to settle down to the business ahead. By virtue of a win over previously-unbeaten Fullerton, 21-13, the Westminster Lions figure to be still very much in the running, and standing squarely in the path of the Pioneer title hopes. "Do or Die" It's a "do or die" situation for both squads Friday night at La Palma Stadium Pumpkin Bowl game when the two square off, a loss practically eliminating either team from the pace Anaheim is setting, although Western still has a shot at the powerful Colonists in the last game of the season. Western's only defeat in the Sunset scramble thus far came at the hands of the driving Santa Ana Saints in the league opener, 13-12, while Anaheim's offensive machine rolled over Westminster, 19-0, to give the Lions their initial loss. Comeback However, in the Colonist set-back, the Westminster brigade was without the passing abilities of their top quarterback, Alan Lemerande, who has come back in the last two.

Catfish Planted Over 150,000 channel catfish fingerlings were planted Ia st week in five Southern California waters by the Department of Fish and Game. These fish are expected to begin showing up in the angler's creel starting next winter. The waters given allotments of the little channel cats were Casitas Reservoir, Ventura County, 50,000; Puddingstone Reservoir, Los Angeles County, 25,000; Chet Harritt Reservoir and El Capitan Reservoir, San Diego County, 25,000 each, and the Colorado River, in the Palo Verde Weir area, 26,000. The per cent of the Colorado River fingerlings were fin-clipped before release, so that DFG biologists may check their survival, growth rate and movement. All the fingerlings were trucked down from the DFG's Central Valleys Hatchery at Elk Grove near Sacramento. They were planted by crews from the Department's Chino Fisheries Base. After runs by Keith Komaki, a nine-yard pass play from Earl Graves to George Moskies, and a personal foul penalty had netted 32 yards, Pioneer quarterback Jim Reese riffed a 10-yard aerial to John Toth for the fourth TD. Toth's third in the last three games, closing out the first half and the Western scoring, with the Pioneer "11" leading by a hefty 26-0 margin. Lone Touchdown Rancho tallied its only touchdown in the final period on a 1-yard keeper by quarterback Jim Koury, whose backfield collected an anemic total of only 1.9 yards per carry, although Dave Fredine, Rancho's able fullback, churned for 59 yards in 14 carries and sparked the Vaqs to their lone TD. Western's offense garnered a total of 128 yards in 38 carries as compared to Rancho's 78 yards in 41 carries, while Reese and Graves completed four of nine passes for 49 yards, and Koury completed one aerial in three tries for five yards. Dam Costly A 57 year old gold miner from La Porte ran afoul of two legislative laws recently, the Department of Fish and Game reported. The man built a dam across the South fork of Feather River without notifying the DFG, which is a violation of section 1602 of the Fish and Game The dam also obstructed the passage of fish upstream, preventing them from reaching spawning grounds. This is also a violation of Fish and Game Code regulations. The miner was fined $250 on each count. Half the fine was aid and the other half was suspended.
