Anaheim Puts T By DOUGLAS HUEF Local grid fans are going to have a rough time this week deciding who they want to see play in the CIF 1963 California Interscholastic Federation playoffs, all of which open this Friday in widely located spots. On the local front, Anaheim, Magnolia, Savanna and Mater Dei high schools have won CIF berths. Competing in the large school grouping will be Anaheim High. They will face Montebello High School in a "home stand" at Pirate Stadium in Costa Mesa. The colonists won a spot by virtue of their 7-0 victory over Western last weekend, and a three way tie for first in the Sunset League. Magnolia, Crestview champs, will tangle with Buena Park High School in La Palma Stadium. Buena Park is co champs of the Freeway League. The Sentinels played them in their third practice game of the season this year and were subsequently defeated, 20-7. Deserved Honor Savanna, second in Crestview standings, will be paired with the champions of the Suburban League, La Mirada. They, like the Sentinels, are in the CIF "AAA" division. Scene of the scrap will be Cerritos Junior College. The rebels won their berth as the only second place team in their catagory, this despite a 14-0 pasting by Magnolia last Saturday evening. CIF officials placed them in the playoffs because they felt that the Rebels most deserved the honor. Determining who would play at La Palma Friday night was an easy question to solve. Solution: a flip of the coin with the other teams in the Anaheim Union High School District. crown could prove very interesting. If Magnolia defeats Buena Park, and Savanna should best La Mirada, the two Crestview League teams would advance to the second round. Then, if the clubs win their clash for the second time this year, but in a semi-final CIF game the night of Dec. 6, at La Palma. Equally fascinating is the assignment Coach Clare Van Hoorebekes charges are confronted with. If they are able to beat Montebello, they too would head for second round CIF and challenge the winner of the Muir-Arcadia scrap. Mater Dei Muir is co champion of the Pacific League with Montebello and is "seeded" third in the TOMORROW—Ten live donkeys and perhaps 10 riders will take to the hardwood of the Loara High School Gymnasium tomorrow at 7:30 for a faculty vs. Students Basketball stampede. Lots of laughs, spills and bruises are in store tomorrow, so come early, and watch the fun (??). Children under 12 will be admitted for fifty cents; adults $1. (Gazette Photo) Frosh Schedule Told ORANGE — Chapman College fresh coach Gary Larson announced a 22 game freshman schedule this week, the largest fresh slate in recent college history, as the 10 man yearling squad prepares for their season opener with the Varsity on November 26th. Former Chapman All American Larson, in his initial coaching chore, is highly optimistic about his fresh and lists six of the 10 as outstanding prospects. Several, in fact, have caught the eye of interim varsity coach Don Livingston and might wind up on the varsity roster before the end of the season. NCAA eligibility regulations permit colleges with male enrollments under 750 to play freshman on the varsity and several of Chapmans past greats have enjoyed a four-year varsity career. Verbal Stops Polled Current leading candidate for future Chapman stardom is 6-4 Sam Edison, a 187 pound frosh from Compton who has caused Larson to pull out all the verbal stops in describing his ability. In addition to Edison, former New York all-city players Ken Halliburton and San Gabriels Sam Coulter look like the Cub's front line starters. Halliburton, who can easily dunk the ball with both hands from a flat-footed start, will BOWLING SPOTLIGHT By Jack Scagnetti California leads the nation in total number of sanctioned women's bowling leagues, according to official information received from the Woman's International Bowling Congress Inc. in Columbus, Ohio. During the 1962-63 season California had 14,870 sanctioned leagues, compared to 9,249 for runnerup New York. Los Angeles also led in number of sanctioned women bowlers, having 3,194 leagues to 2,623 for second-place Chicago. Daytime women's bowling leagues are common place in Southern California, while they are quite rare in other parts of the nation. Women seem more interested in recreational activities in Southern California, where the trend toward leisure living is so strong. Just to prove how interested women are in bowling in this area, we point to a free learn-to-bowl class held last Friday at Linbrook Bowl in Anaheim. Twenty-five women showed up for the lessons despite a heavy rain. Manager Wes Sorensen said more women would be welcome to enter the class in its second week starting Friday at 10 a.m. It's a five-week course. Speaking of Linbrook Bowl, the Brookhurst at Lincoln center is one of two bowling establishments in Orange County that is hosting the Bowl-A-Round Singles Handicap Tournament. The other is Futurama Lanes in Garden Gorve. The tournament is open to both men and women. Bowl-A-Round's fourth round ends this Sunday night, so bowlers better hurry if they want to win the $40 for high series ($20 for second high series) awarded during this round in each of four classes. The top 10 bowlers in each class move into a Big Ten rolloff, from which two out of 10 move into Area Finals where $1,400 is guaranteed. Champions in each of the Area Finals win a round trip by jet flight to Hawaii plus hotel accommodations on the islands. LAST WEFOOTBALL CONTINUED 1st Prize $15 M. V.

Santa Ana’s Wilhelm Builds First Team On Two Lettermen SANTA ANA — In just four weeks, Bob Wilhelm, first year basketball coach at Santa Ana are freshmen so Wilhelm will have to form a raw and inexperienced hand of coagents to be sunshine and roses for he still doesn't know the coaches Santa Ana’s Wilhelm Builds First Team On Two Lettermen SANTA ANA —In just four weeks, Bob Wilhelm, first year basketball coach at Santa Ana College, will unveil the 1963-64 squad as it hosts El Camino on Nov. 29. Wilhelm, taking over the position formerly held by Bob Boyd, now at Seattle University, has planted Riverside, defending Eastern Conference champion, as the team to beat with Citrus and Orange Coast running a close second and third. Wilhelm has only two lettermen, Charlie Dean and Jim Moore, back from last year's team which fashioned a 14-4 EC mark to tie for second. Jim Broomell played last year but failed to get a letter. Of the 18 squad members, 15 are freshmen so Wilhelm will have to form a raw and inexperienced band of cagers into working unit good enough to win ball games in the rugged EC. Wilhelm, however, expects to be in the thick of the race when it begins if the freshmen develop and lady luck falls his way. The former Santa Ana High coach doesn’t expect everything to be sunshine and roses for he still doesn’t know the coaches nor the teams too well. Wilhelm expects some help from four frish players. Dale Finney, All - County at Santa Ana High; Dick Barnard from Mater Dei; John Pitts, All-CIF at Laguna Beach; and Terry Klaus from Santa Ana Valley should all see plenty of action according to Wilhelm.
