BOARD OF TRADE ELECTS NEW OFFICERS MUCH LOCAL INTEREST TAKEN IN MEETING MONDAY NIGHT MANY SPEECHES WITH AN OPTIMISTIC RING MADE BY LOCAL ORATORS Fred A. Backs was unanimously elected president of the Anaheim board of trade for the ensuing year at the meeting held on Monday night. F. C. Krause was elected vice president, John Cassou treasurer and Messrs. Bishop, Noll, Eygabroad, Jackson and Prince were chosen as a board of directors. Mr. Backs thanked the board for the honor conferred upon him, saying that he would do everything in his power to further advance the interests of the local organization. H. P. Noll, the acting president are expected to come across. People generally are sending teams out to the river to help with the building of the levee, and it is expected that we will have no more trouble from an unexpected overflow. The annual banquet will be held on January 21, when Thomas B. Fletcher, a well known lecturer, will be a guest of the board of trade and make an address. Mr. Fletcher has a nation-wide reputation as an authority on civic governments and his discourse will no doubt be of much interest. Prof. Prince favored using the backs of envelopes for advertising purposes. He suggested that a half-tone be made, containing condensed information concerning our section, the same to be used by everybody when writing business letters to easterners. He believed much good would be derived from that source. Gerald Simpson suggested that arrangements be made whereby all real estate dealers could buy the new pamphlets, and then using their personal advertising stamps upon one of the corners of the pages. These could be used when sending out correspondence by the various dealers, and besides the board of trade would derive revenue from that course to help pay for the issuance of the pamphlets. President Backs will in a day or two appoint the new advertising commit- of trade for the ensuing year at the meeting held on Monday night. F. C. Krause was elected vice president, John Cassou treasurer and Messrs. Bishop, Noll, Eygabroad, Jackson and Prince were chosen as a board of directors. Mr. Backs thanked the board for the honor conferred upon him, saying that he would do everything in his power to further advance the interests of the local organization. H. P. Noll, the acting president thanked the members for hearty cooperation extended him while chairman, and hoped the same good will would be accorded the new president. Mr. Noll believes in cooperation, and hoped to see every member put his shoulder to the wheel of progress and boost. The selection of a secretary was deferred until the next meeting. The selection of that official at a previous meeting had been referred to a committee consisting of Messrs. Stark, Krause and Ahlborn, but these gentlemen were not ready to report upon the selection of that official. The matter was deferred until the next meeting, when in all probability the new secretary will be elected. That official will also act in a similar capacity for the Merchants' association and the Mother Colony club. Some members favor segregating the positions. Reports of various committees were received. The gentlemen having in charge the municipal Christmas tree reported everything going along nicely and that the festival would be a grand success. The matter of issuing new advertising literature was discussed at length, and many ideas were advanced. A majority of the members present favored the pamphlet form, the same to contain data relative to our resources placed in condensed form, tersely expressed. Haste was advocated because now is the time to reach the easterner. He has bulging pocketsful of money owing to the abnormal prosperity sweeping through the East and it is contended that many tourists will be headed this way soon. Several fine speeches were made extolling the valley's many natural advantages. Mr. Flory making the statement that we have the making of one of the best little cities (in fact, one of the best big cities) in this famed Southland.

These could be used when sending out correspondence by the various dealers, and besides the board of trade would derive revenue from that course to help pay for the issuance of the pamphlets. President Backs will in a day or two appoint the new advertising committee, and it is the intention to issue literature at the earliest possible date. ANAHEIM ORANGES FOR THE CHRISTMAS TRADE Thirty Cars Have Already Been Shipped by Association Many people in the east will eat Anaheim oranges on Christmas day. The crop is several weeks earlier this season than usual, and an excellent quality of navels is being shipped. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit association reported Saturday that thirty cars had already been shipped. Packing of the new crop began on Thursday, Nov. 23. The association's navel crop this season will approximate 130 cars, and it is expected it will be cleaned up by the end of January. Heavy banks of smoke in the sky to the north and east of us two or three morning last week indicated that the growers in the foothill regions had been smudging to protect their crops, but there was no evidence of it in this neighborhood. It is reported also that in some localities the crop was considerably damaged by the high winds. In the Anaheim region slight damage was reported, some of the orchards not being injured at all. Manager Sandilands of the association was engaged in a congenial task Saturday. He was sending Christmas presents to each of the members of the association. In other words he was dividing up the $18,000 refund money and mailing checks to the parties to whom it belongs. VISITOR FROM ORANGE DIES IN ANAHEIM Mrs. Palmiter is Suddenly Stricken While Visiting her Son and Daughter The funeral of Mrs. E. S. Palmiter, who died while visiting her children in this city, was held at Orange Sun- prosperity sweeping through the East and it is contended that many tourists will be headed this way soon. Several fine speeches were made extolling the valley's many natural advantages. Mr. Flory making the statement that we have the making of one of the best little cities (in fact, one of the best big cities) in this famed Southland. The speaker said he is here to stay and will do all in his power to advance Anaheim's best interests. Mr. Flory's address, while it was short, had the true ring, and that he is a wide awake and good citizen, full of optimism, as to our ability of taking a place at the head of all progressive towns, if there is heavy cooperation upon the part of all our citizens, was evidenced at the largely attended meeting. Mr. Flory made a very good impression upon his auditors and was given the glad hand with a will. Other gentlemen made neat little addresses, all of the booster spirit. Chas. Eygabroad, who always has a good word to say, spoke of our manifold resources, and advised sending out literature to the eastern cities, giving the tourist an insight to our wonderful valley. He says our climate is a valuable asset, and it is the magnet that draws many easterners hitherward. Dr. MacFarlane made a strong appeal for manufactures with a payroll—that's the word. Institutions that gave work to the masses are what we need. We have the orange orchards, the walnut groves, and the chicken pens—they all can take care of themselves. But what we also need is payroll enterprises. Chas. Eygabroad said the river protection work was progressing satisfactorily. All the work being put in is of a substantial character. The Santa Fe railway has donated a handsome sum, and the other companies VISITOR FROM ORANGE DIES IN ANAHEIM Mrs. Palmiter is Suddenly Stricken While Visiting her Son and Daughter The funeral of Mrs. E. S. Palmiter, who died while visiting her children in this city, was held at Orange Sunday afternoon. Rev. Galbraith read a brief service and a quartet consisting of Miss Spotts, Mrs. Ralph Welsh, Harry Putman and C. W. Riggle gave some beautiful musical numbers. The body was sent to Hart, Mich., for burial. E. S. Palmiter and Mrs. Hannum left for Hart with the casket. Mrs. Palmiter was born in Medina county, Ohio, September 11th, 1856. She moved to Ocena county, Michigan in 1862. She was married to Edwin S. Palmiter at Hart Michigan, November 17th, 1877. For several years they lived at Newaygo and Grand Rapids, then at Hart, until 1910, when they came to Orange. Mrs. Palmiter's entire life was elevated by a spirit of service that endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. She was prominent in W. C. T. U. work in Michigan, and was at one time vice president of the state organization. She leaves a husband, one son, Jay Palmiter, of Anaheim, and two daughters, Mrs. V. W. Hannum of Anaheim, and Mrs. J. E. Lyon of Muskegon, Michigan and A. J. Garver of Clarkston, Wash., and a sister, Mrs. Benton Gebhart, of Hart, Mich. Ed Bruns has taken up his residence in Santa Ana and has engaged in the Miller tire business. Mr. Bruns reports a good trade coming his way, in fact, at times finds himself unable to fill all the orders when desired.

BRYAN WILL BE ONE OF THE SPEAKERS IF CITIZENS SUBSCRIBE MONEY ENOUGH There is a possibility that Anaheim will have a Chautauqua association next summer, and that some of the best speakers in the United States will be heard. It is only a question of whether or not the town will guarantee a subscription of $1800 for six lectures. Of course the speakers are among the best that can be procured, but it all depends upon whether or not the people consider them worth $300 per speech. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and Florida, is promised as one of the speakers. The chief speaker at the business men's lunchon Thursday stated that he was the will be accomplished through it. A. B. Stickney in writing to poultry producers on the matter says: "The main points are as follows: 400,000 hens must be represented by the signers to the formation agreement or the attempt will be abandoned. Producers must take at least one share of stock at $10 par value and one share for each 1,000 hens or majority fraction over that number at the time of signing the agreement and pay for these shares in money, one quarter of the amount at the time and the balance when the 400,000 hens have been secured. Then in addition, when the organization is assured by the necessary number of hens, the signer agrees to take so many or more shares and these additional shares are to be paid for by deducting one cent per dozen from the proceeds of sale of the signer's eggs. A commission of two cents per dozen will also be deducted. The agreement to deliver all eggs to the corporation runs three years. Ten directors are provided for, nine of whom are to be elected by the poultry producers and one appointed by the state market director. The active management will be conducted by a committee of three directors, of whom the director appointed by the state market director must be one. "Neither nor the consumers of AUTO DISPLAY IS SEEN BY MANY PEOPLE THOUSANDS VISIT THE TENT AND BUY MACHINES AT FULLERTON SATURDAY ANAHEIM DEALERS HAVE SPLENDID EXHIBIT AT THE ANNUAL SHOW Hundreds of people from Anaheim and its vicinity went over to Fullerton Saturday, most of them to attend the Northern Orange county automobile show, but some of them to see the football game between Fullerton and the heavyweight Citrus Union high of Azusa, to determine which should play in the finals for the championship of Southern California. In the big tent on Spadra avenue where the automobile show was held, seventeen dealers were represented and more than sixty well-groomed cars were on exhibition. Most of them best speakers in the United States will be heard. It is only a question of whether or not the town will guarantee a subscription of $1800 for six lectures. Of course the speakers are among the best that can be procured, but it all depends upon whether or not the people consider them worth $300 per speech. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and Florida, is promised as one of the speakers. The chief speaker at the business men's lunchon Thursday stated that he was the greatest drawing card in the United States, but it is doubtful if the people of Anaheim would care to pay $300 to hear him talk on religion and educational subjects. We have men hired by the year to keep us posted on such matters. Manager Miner of the Chautauqua association, with headquarters at Los Angeles, was the speaker Thursday. He is organizing the Chautauqua circuit and gave a brief history of the work. He stated that this Chautauqua circuit would begin in California on April 15, and would end the 15th of September. The association has recently paid $35,000 for new tents, and travels in a special train. He said there were a number of America's most remarkable orators on the list, among them being Thomas B. Fletcher, editor of the Marion, Ohio, Tribune, one of the world's greatest speakers. He promised to have Mr. Fletcher here at one of the January luncheons, and have him speak for himself, provided the board of trade would guarantee an attendance of 250 at the luncheon. In addition to the splendid orators listed Mr. Miner stated that two plays were on the season's program. The first was "Little Women," adapted from Louise M. Alcott's popular novel, and the other was Gilbert & Sullivan's famous opera, "Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore." It costs $3 for a season's ticket, and if enough will be subscribed to guarantee $1800, Anaheim will be listed on the circuit. He has established the Chautauqua in San Jose, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monrovia, Santa Ana, Riverside and San Bernardino, and wherever it is tried the people maintain it. Dr. Dubols and Mr. Matthews, who accompanied Mr. Miner, each talked for a few minutes on the subject, and briefly told of the success of the venture in the various towns. Every city where it was tried last year has signed up contracts for next summer. A commission of two cents per dozen will also be deducted. The agreement to deliver all eggs to the corporation runs three years. Ten directors are provided for, nine of whom are to be elected by the poultry producers and one appointed by the state market director. The active management will be conducted by a committee of three directors, of whom the director appointed by the state market director must be one. "Neither we nor the consumers of our products have the slightest thing to say about the price or market regulations governing the sale of our product. We are large consumers of all kinds of feed, yet here in Southern California we are the helpless victims of the organized greed which buys the farmers feed product at San Francisco price, minus the freight to San Francisco and then sells it to us at San Francisco prices plus the freight, although the stuff never goes to San Francisco at all. It is impossible that we shall ever have a more favorable chance to form an organization strong enough to remedy these evils which we all loudly complain of." MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS TREE TO BE MEADRABLE EVENT Bountiful Supply of Presents Being Assembled by Santa Claus to Gladen Young Hearts The board of trade committee, who have charge of the municipal Christmas tree, promise the people of Anaheim that the Yuletide cheer will be in abundance when Santa Claus arrives to see that all the kiddies receive full stockings of goodies and other things upon the gladsome occasion. Robt. Corcoran, chairman of the committee, who is ably assisted by Messrs Fred Gresswell, A. Bayliss and George Bishop, have decided to have the Christmas tree upon the vacant lot across from the City Hall on East Center street. Appropriate services will be held, and the Anaheim City Band will be in attendance and render a musical program. The little orphans of St. Catherine's Acadamay will march to the tree in a body and will render Christmas songs. Word comes that Santa Claus will see that every child in Anaheim will receive a present. Liberal donations have been received from citizens Saturday, most of them to attend the Northern Orange county automobile show, but some of them to see the football game between Fullerton and the heavyweight Citrus Union high of Azusa, to determine which should play in the finals for the championship of Southern California. In the big tent on Spadra avenue where the automobile show was held, seventeen dealers were represented and more than sixty well-groomed cars were on exhibition. Most of them were from Anaheim, but the Fullerton dealers were all represented. The popular little Ford occupied a conspicuous place in the tent, being in charge of R. B. Ingram. Tom Ingram and Colonel Wickersheim of Fullerton, had five cars in this display, showing coupes, touring cars and roadsters. P. J. Weisel was on hand with a Hudson Super-Six and a Dodge, both cars that are rapidly coming into the limelight. One of Mr. Weisel's exhibits was the famous "Death Valley Dodge," which was exhibited here some months ago by O. K. Parker after his memorable drive through the desert country. It is covered with labels, showing the points visited—in fact there would be more labels if there was more room on which to paint them. In his description of the trip Mr. Parker said: "The total distance of the trip was 957 miles, made in exactly seven days. We had no mechanical trouble of any kind and only had one puncture, and that while passing through the town of Searchlight. Our report was that we did not believe any man could take a Dodge Brothers motor car and break it up so long as it remained on its wheels. If our Dodge had not been dependable it would have been left as Bush's car was—a wreck in the dunes, soon to be covered with drifting sand, and some day perhaps to be again revealed to recall the fate of one daring motor car party that had attempted to make the terrific drive, but without the success accomplished with 'Death Valley Dodge'." Sedan cars are a recent creation and there were several of them on exhibition. J. B. Reeve of Fullerton, the Hupmobile agent had three cars in his section—one a Sedan, one a roadster and the other a five-passenger touring car. A. H. Sitton had on exhibition a Wileys-6 touring car, Springfield-6 Overland Sedan, and a 4-cylinder Overland touring car. J. R. Gardner's principal exhibit was a four-ton Ford truck. C. R. Rockwell had Chautauqua in San Jose, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monrovia, Santa Ana, Riverside and San Bernardino, and wherever it is tried the people maintain it. Dr. Dubols and Mr. Matthews, who accompanied Mr. Miner, each talked for a few minutes on the subject, and briefly told of the success of the venture in the various towns. Every city where it was tried last year has signed up contracts for next summer. Gerald Simpson presided at the luncheon and introduced the speaker in a few well chosen words. At the close of the speaking Secretary Duckworth announced that A. B. McCord would be the tostmaster today, and would provide something worth hearing. If Mr. McCord carries out the program he whispered to those at the table in his immediate vicinity it will be the most interesting luncheon ever held. You will regret it all your life if you miss it. Secretary Duckworth also told of the accident in which little Marie Betke lost her life the previous evening, and asked that a collection be taken up for the stricken mother. A considerable sum of money was turned in. CALIFORNIA HENS ARE FORMING A TRUST President Wilson Should Take His Pen In Hand and Write a Note With nearly all of the required 400,000 hens signed up it is but a matter of organization to perfect the Poultry Producers of Southern California, incorporation, a branch of the state organization for the marketing of eggs. Poultry ralsers, whether or not they have signed the contract to market through the organization, will be interested to know just what the Christmas tree upon the vacant lot across from the City Hall on East Center street. Appropriate services will be held, and the Anaheim City Band will be in attendance and render a musical program. The little orphans of St. Catherine's Acadamye will march to the tree in a body and will render Christmas songs. Word comes that Santa Claus will see that every child in Anaheim will receive a present. Liberal donations have been received from citizens and much candy, oranges and other fruit will be cheerfully dispensed to all. Santa Claus will also remember the grown-ups and it is said that the giant tree will be well laden with a bountiful supply of presents. The committee is exerting itself to the utmost to make the event one long to be remembered and the festival will be observed wit htrue Christmastide cheer. Miss Elsie Rust, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust, who graduated from the Manual arts department of Columbia university last spring, has accepted a position as instructor in the public schools at Hackensack, N. J. Miss Rust received a special diploma at her graduation, and was selected by the principal of the school as the most proficient teacher to be obtained in New York. She was expected home for Christmas, but writes that her duties are such that it will be impossible for her to come home this year. James Mann in Justice Howard's court Saturday was held over to the superior court on a charge of passing a fictitious check on William Jackson. He had signed the name of Ed Gebhard, West Chapman Avenue, Orange, to the check and was fitting himself out with some new clothes when arrested. His ball was fixed at $1000. Sedan cars are a recent creation and there were several of them on exhibition. J. B. Reeve of Fullerton, the Hupmobile agent had three cars in his section—one a Sedan, one a roadster and the other a five-passenger touring car. A. H. Sitton had on exhibition a Wileys-6 touring car, Springfield-6 Overland Sedan, and a 4-cylinder Overland touring car. J. R. Gardiner's principal exhibit was a four-ton Ford truck. C. R. Rockwell had the latest models of the Maxwell and the Chalmers, both cars of wide reputation, while T. L. Longworth, also of Anaheim, had space of a six-cylinder National, an eight cylinder, seven passenger Oakland, and a siv cylinder five passenger Oakland. The Sidnam Motor company was making a specialty of the Saxon car, which the company claims is superior to all others, also the classy Packard, and R. W. Eden of Fullerton was showing a truck, a Dort and a Reo. Thompson & Dreyer of Fullerton had a good display of Chandlers, while the Taggart Motor company of Anaheim was exhibiting the Cheverlet. Edd Armstrong of Santa Ana, was the only man below the river who had space in the tent. He was showing the Cole, and his cars were in charge of M. V. B. Thompson. The Brisco, a new machine, was displayed by A. G. Oswald of Fullerton, and A. B. Gilbert was handling the Buick and the Grant-6. Tommy Thomas of Anaheim had on exhibition the Beardsley coupe, one of the most comfortable looking cars in the bunch. The Oldsmobile cars were in charge of W. A. Luce. He also had on exhibition an Oldsmobile built in 1900. It was ludicrously out of place among the great modern cars, but Mr. Luce says it is still healthy and able to travel under its own power. It has carried its passengers over many thousands of miles of good, bad and indifferent roads and its owner, who DISPLAY IS MY MANY PLE BY THE TENT AND AT FULLER-URDAY HAS HAVE SPLEN-AT THE AN-SHOW le from Anaheim over to Fullerton them to attend the county automobile them to see the then Fullerton and Citrus Union high of which should play championship of Spadra avenue the show was held, were represented well-groomed cars Most of them lives in Santa Ana, is proud of it. These 1917 machines are all beautiful and show many new improvements. Several of them were marked sold. All had their good points, and it would be difficult for a purchaser to decide between them. Over on the gridiron the Fullerton big school football team completely upset the dope of Southern California interscholastic football followers when it trounced the touted Citrus Union High by a score of 19 to 13, in the first round of the play-off for the high school championship. The first quarter of the game saw no scoring, but with both teams fighting and scrambling up and down the field. Straight football tactics were used throughout this period, with seemingly little advantage to either side. The last part of the game was open football. A noticeable feature of the game was the fact that no time out was asked, no injuries occurred and the line-ups of both teams remained the same throughout the game. The Citrus team members were heavier than the Fullerton team, but the fast and snappy plays of Fullerton proved the undoing of the Azusa eleven. The first touchdown was made by Fullerton at the start of the second half by Right Tackle Dean on a forward pass. Fullback Jones scored the CHILD KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD-MARIE BETKE STRUCK MY MACHINE, SUSTAINS BROKEN NECK CORONER'S JURY EXONERATES THE DRIVER OF THE CAR AT THE INQUEST Death came suddenly to little Marie Betke, the thirteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Julia Betke, who resides at 120 Stueckle avenue, when at five o'clock Wednesday evening she was struck by a touring car driven by Z. Z. Hagerman. The little girl was playing tennis at the home of C. A. Griggs on South Los Angeles street. A ball flew into the street and she ran after it, apparently failing to notice the auto that was bearing down upon her. When she observed it so close she evidently became bewildered, and the The total distance is 957 miles, made by O. K.

RANCHER ARRESTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE Villa Park Man Facing Long Term in Penitentiary Just as he was about to flee from California with the 12-year-old child upon whom he has showered his attentions since she was eight years old, E. H. Burger, Villa Park rancher, was arrested Saturday in San Diego and brought back to Santa Ana Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff Cravath and lodged in the county jail on a serious charge, on which he was arraigned before Justice Cox. His bail was fixed at $2000 and the preliminary hearing set for Wednesday, December 27th at 2 o'clock. Burger has been separated from the girl, whose name is Theodora Lawrie, for two years. Early last week he learned she was in San Diego and went there to see her. It is said he often referred to teh child as his little coul mate. It is also said Burger admits his relations with the girl are not what they should have been and there is also said to be a witness to his acts with the child in one instance. Burger and the girl were separted from Mrs. Julia Betke, who resides at 120 Stueckle avenue, when at five o'clock Wednesday evening she was struck by a touring car driven by Z. Z. Hagerman. The little girl was playing tennis at the home of C. A. Griggs on South Los Angeles street. A ball flew into the street and she ran after it, apparently failing to notice the auto that was bearing down upon her. When she observed it so close she evidently became bewildered, and the driver was unable to stop before striking her. She was placed in the auto and hurried to the hospital, but died shortly after reaching there. It was found her neck was broken, her skull fractured, and other injuries were sustained. Coroner Winbigler came over Thursday morning and held an injurest. The jury exonerated the driver and returned a verdict to the effect that death resulted from a broken neck and a fractured skull, the injuries being accidentally received. Mr. Hagerman, with his wife and daughter, were on their way to Laguna Beach, coming from the north. Hagerman is one of the colony of professional baseball players wintering at the beach town. He belongs to the Portland Coast League team. He and his wife both testified at the inquest, and their story of the accident was corroborated by eyewitnesses, showing that it was unavoidable on the part of the driver. The jury which heard the evidence and rendered the verdict was composed of G. M. Simpson, V. U. Simpson, H. S. Menicke, F. F. Davis, R. Beers Loos and F. T. Edmiston. Funeral of the little girl was held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parors Friday, the remains being buried in Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Julia Betke, mother of the child, is a widow and is in straightened circumstances. She has two other children, both younger than Marie, and has been compelled to work at the washtub to support them. While the mother was absent at her work Marie took charge of the house and cared for her two little sisters. Her sudden death is a sad blow. Subscription money has been raised for the relief of the stricken family. C. A. Griggs, at whose house she was playing, passed a paper, and a sum was collected at the business men's luncheon Thursday.

It is also said Burger admits his relations with the girl are not what they should have been and there is also said to be a witness to his acts with the child in one instance. Burger and the girl were separted about two years ago, when Mrs. Burger, it is said, learned of the relations existing between the girl and her husband. The girl had been adopted by the Burger family a short time previous to this. She was left an orphan without home or relatives and pity for the child first prompted the Burgers to make her one of their family. After Mrs. Burger made her discovery, however, the child was taken to Los Angeles, and placed in an orphanage. Later she left the orphanage, going from family to family and finally being adopted by a San Diego family. JOHN HARTUNG ILL John Hartung is seriously ill at his home on West Center street, suffering with congestion of one lung, and being threatened with pneumonia. Mr. Hartung was taken ill two weeks ago, when he contracted a bad cold. He also was troubled with an affliction of the heart, and was compelled to take to his bed. His condition yesterday was reported by Dr. Truxaw to be improving, and his many friends hope that he will soon be restored to his usual robust health. One hundred Elks assembled at the board of trade roms Friday evening and unanimously agreed to organize a lodge in this city.The new order will start with about one hundred and fifty members. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Last Friday afternoon the Huntington Beach basketball team won over Anaheim in the first of the Orange county league basketball games. The score when the final whistle blew was 36 to 19. At the end of the first half the game looked as if it was ours, the score being 13 to 10 in our favor. During the first few minutes of play in the second half Huntington Beach piled up such a large score that although our boys held them down the rest of the game they were unable to overcome the large lead. At center Capt. Dalton had the best of it, getting the touchoff nearly every time. Our plays as a rule worked very well but the fellows failed to shoot baskets. eW were not disappointed because we lost, for the members of the team never played basket ball before except in interclass games. Coach Malcolm certainly has worked hard in making a team out of new material. We feel sure that the rest of the teams in the county will hear of Anaheim before the season is over. The next league basketball game is to be with Fullerton, next Friday, Dec. 15 at Fullerton. There is a possibility that this game will be postponed as the Manual Arts-Fullerton football game may be played the same day and in such case the basketball game will be played at a later date.
