SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1944 Rangers Face All-Stars -SIX -x tc yi-i A 'hkx''" 'H in Shrine Game Today Gets Show Jock Woodhouse Is All Smiles but Speechless BY JOE HERXAXDEZ For Hedley Woodhouse. the little mite of a gentleman of the saddle, it was all smiles, all thrills and hardly an intelligi ble word. Hedley could hardly talk. He waved excitedly to his fellow riders and at the vast throng surrounding the winner's circle when he waltzed back with Happy Issue after winning the $75,000 added Hollywood Gold Cup at Hollywood Park yester day. Just Good Filly "She's just a cracking good filly," quoth the lad whom Charlie Pinon hired to ride his "bone cherie" of a filly early this season.

Then he would wave again and laugh and. almost cry at the same time. Ferril Zufelt, who battled it out with Okana and Arlin Bas-sett for the second part, had little to say. "I thought I was going to get it all," the Utah boy stated, "but when I looked to the inside and saw Happy Issue get ting through, it was all over. Yeah, it was all over and I had my hands full to get the place." Bassett, who took the lead from Stronghold around the far turn, said: "We just ran out of speed." And from the I a George (the Iceman) Woolf, who handled Paperboy, the favored one from the W-L Ranch there was nothing.

He circled the field with the English thoroughbred, was in a contending position at the turn for home but from there on he was carried wide, and Paperboy just could not get to the leaders. Bluejackets Edge Bruins SAN DIEGO, Dec. 16. VP) Maintaining a slim lead throughout, the San Diego Naval Training Center basketball team defeated the University of California, LOs Angeles campus, 35 to 32, tonight at the training center. The Sailors led, 16 to 13, at the half.

Tom McCarty topped the winners with 14 points and Bill Rankin made 12 for the Bruins.

one of the dark horses, was fifth. Records were broken right and left on the closing day of Hollywood Park's 34-day meeting. Not only was the $3,000,000 betting mark reached for the first time in California $601,574 of it on the big race alone but Happy Issue, under the smart and heady guidance of Hedley Woodhouse, cracked the track record of 2:02 by spinning the mile and one-quarter in 2:01 35. Challedon held the old mark. Total wagering on the eight races was $3,290,356.

Perfect Day Contrary to weather reports of showers, it was a perfect day with the sun shining on the lakes, swans, flowers and green grass in Hollywood Park color- ful infield, and the day's eight races were all run over a fast strip. Ordered to stay back off the early pace and keep his eye on Paperboy, Woodhouse obeyed his riding orders perfectly, was 10th around the far turn and did not move until he reached the three-eighth pole. There he turned Happy Issue loose, and dropped her along the rail as Paperboy took to the outside. Okana Ahead As the field sprayed off the turn Okana was in front by three lengths with Bull Reigh, which had been running fourth most of the way, now in second place, First to Fieht third and Happy Issue fourth. In the battle through the stretch Happy Issue overhauled the tiring Okana about 100 yards from home and then Bull Reigh came along to nip him in the final strides.

After the race Woodhouse said he enjoyed all the racing luck, and that the conditions were exactly reversed in the American Handicap, when Paperboy was the winner and Happy Issue was second. In that race Happy Issue had -to take the overland and lost valuable ground. Yesterday it was Paperboy, well placed early by George Woolf, who lost the ground. Good Luck "When I saw Woolf go to the outside with Paperboy, I looked for an opening along the rail," said Woodhouse. "It is a little softer there than through the stretch and sometimes the horses swing wide to avoid it.

I spotted my hole and through it I went. I had good luck, and that's how I won the race with one of the hardest hitting and gamest fillies I have ever ridden." Of the horses which were close to the early pace only Okana and Bull Reigh survived to finish in the money. Stronghold, which led the early part of the journey, fell back to dead last, and First to Fight was sixth. Happy Issue, third choice in the betting, paid $12.50, $6.30 Tarn to Page 7, Column 1 "I do not believe that the Japs or Germans should be allowed to compete In the Olympic Games when this competition is resumed after the war. "The Japs and Germans are not on our civilized team! "Until they have proved to the satisfaction of civilized people that they are capable of conducting themselves in a civilized manner they should have no part in the Olympics." The speaker was Col.

Frank Kurtz, one of the nation's greatest flying heroes and himself a competitor in the last two Olympic Games. The opinion of Col. Kurtz Is particularly interesting at this time because of what's being said around the country about Including the Japs and Germans in our postwar Olympic Games plans. REMARKABLE QUOTE It may not have been published locally, but I was hit 6quarely between the eyes by a recent United Press dispatch from Chicago. It quoted Herman J.

Fischer, president of the central association of the A.A.U., as saying: "The athletes of Japan and Germany will be welcomed and readily accepted as participants in the next Olympic Games. Concurring In this opinion, according to the U.P., was Avery Brundage, former national president of the A.A.U and head of the Olympic committee. Brundage said further. "Among athletes who participate in the Olympics there has always been a mutual admiration and respect. We hope eventually, as a collateral purpose, to gradually eliminate through sports the animosity between nations." FIXE IDEA Brundage and his associates have a laudable ambition and If I know my sports history this, in essence, is the true spirit of the Olympic Games.

But I do not believe that Fischer, Brundage, myself or any other person without fighting experience in this terrible war should even attempt to decide when we should resume sports competition with the Japs and Germans. Surely a man of CoL Kurtz's experience, both as an athlete and soldier, is far better equipped to make such a decision. In my estimation this decision should be made solely by those who have met our enemies on the field of battle. If they never want to play with the Japs and Germans during their lifetime, that's good enough for me. ALL OVER WORLD Col.

Kurtz has been meeting the enemy all over the world since the day the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. He has every decoration of merit and has flown more than 500 combat hours, which probably is tops for this nation's air heroes. "Do pilots of established athletic ability make better flyers than those with no previous athletic training?" I asked Frank. "No, not up to a certain point," was his reply. "The shoe clerk, soda jerker or farm boy can become just as efficient as the boy with athletic training.

But once they get in the heat of little the athlete has a distinct ev, He's been trained to fight '1 it gives him that confidencesnd lve of combat which is Xim- portant." GERMAX BETTER The German a better flyer than the Jap, says Col. Kurtz. The Jap will stick with his predetermined plan of attack, no matter what he encounters. The German is aggressive, intelligent and thinks all the time. He knows how to go it on his own.

Just before returning to his country CoL Kurtz completed 60 flying missions. He led the bombing of the Ploestl oil fields, a highly successful at. tack which reduced the fuel aupply of the enemy to a mere trickle from this source. Normally the flyers come home after 35 missions but Frank preferred to stick with his men. The Los Angeles Athletic Club presented Col.

Kurtz with a life membership the other day and Frank said this took care of much of his postwar planning. the folks," was his parting shot, "that we've got the championship team and that I'm proud to be a member of if Oxy Water Poloists Top Bruins by 6 to 3 Occidental's visiting water poloists splashed their way to a 6-to-3 victory over U.C.L.A. vesterdav to grab second place in the Southern California Col lege League.

The ageless question of wheth er a group of all-stars, with a week of training, can keep up with a seasoned unit of veterans again is up for decision. Side line critics, however, have installed the Rangers as slight favorites. Wide Open Game This much s'eems certain, fans will see a wide open brand of ball, probably the best they've seen at Gilmore thus far this sea son.

Pacing the Rangers, as usual, will be a former teammate of Robinson and Washington, Ned Mathews. Ned has spark-plugged the Rangers all season, but has taken more or less a back scat in rave notices to Merle Hapes, the Memphis Flyer. Mathews Start Today Ned starts at Hapes' halfback spot with the Southern er moving into the fullback post.

Bob Winslow will call signals with Earle Parsons taking the other halfback chore. Coach Mike Pecarovlch or the All-Stars has one of the most potent threats to be tossed at the Rangers this season in Rob inson and Washington. While they're in the game an air or ground attack always will be imminent. There are several familiar names on the All-Star starting line, including Johnny Schiechl, center; Jack Mulkey and Sugar-foot Anderson at ends and Roman Bentz at tackle. But Pecarovlch is supposed to have on his roster several former pro greats now playing under assumed names for one reason or another.

W) The Randolph Field Ramblers, play ing their football in Installments and flirting with trouble too oft en for their own good, squeezed through with a 13-8 victory over the 2nd Air Force Superbombers in a Treasury Bond Bowl game at the Polo Grounds today to end their season undefeated and untied.

A sparse crowd of 8356 saw the two Air Force rivals in a bitter battle on a slick field, with the first half of the game being played under a salting of snow-flakes.

Blocking Back Billy Bevis of Marianna, was elected captain for 1943 aid will serve as captain in the bowl game. Bob Dobelstein, also a junior, was elected alternate captain. Meanwhile, extent of the knee injury of Troy's ace place-kicker, Pat West, sustained during practice Friday, was still unknown. West, who backs up first-string Fullback Duane Whitehead, is being hospitalized at the Good Samaritan Hospital. Filling the casualty's position at yesterday's drills was Ken Mitchell, a 190-pounder who starred for Santa Ana Jaysee two years ago and played for the C.

"vinning tne statistics Dy a wiae BY BRA VEX DYER Busting out with a barrage of goals in the overtime stanza, the Los Angeles Monarchs trimmed the Hollywood Wolves, 7 to 4, before 4000 fans at the Pan-Pacific last night. The win left the league leaders on top with five wins and no defeats, but they had to rally to subdue their determined foes. With the count tied at 4-all when regulation play concluded, Big John Polich knocked in the deciding goal 53 seconds after overtime began, getting the puck on an assist from Ossie Asmundson and Paul Tremblay. Just to make things sure, Hec Jarvis and Carl Dragovich followed with tallies which insured the triumph. Jarvis Cracks Ic Jarvis put the Monarchs ahead with his tally in the first period.

But at the end of the second heat the rivals were tied at 2-all. Novickl made a brilliant unassisted tally for the Wolves in this heat, after which both Mirtle and Gardner scored. Johnson broke the two-all tie less than one minute after the closing stanza started, but Junk. in came back and tied it up aeain at three-all at the 6:23 point. Asmundson put the league leaders out in front again after 15m.
