Legion Concert Date Postponed In deference to the services to be held in most of the Anaheim churches during Holy Week, the American Legion band committee has announced a change, in the date for holding the benefit concert and vaudeville program originally scheduled for April 14 in the high school auditorium. April 25 has been set for the concert and tickets have been placed on sale at Heying's and Larson's pharmacies. Tickets already sold bearing the original date will be honored on the 28th, according to O. E. Mauss, chairman of the committee. All members of the band have tickets for sale. The band holds regular rehearsals every Wednesday night at the high school with Director Carl F. Ecklund in charge. There are several vacancies in the band which it is desired to fill with Anaheim musicians and any players interested will be welcomed into the band, according to Mauss. Southern California Athletic Activities The dual meet championship of the Pacific Coast Conference will be decided at Palo Alto this Saturday, April 2, when the Southern California team meets with the Stanford outfit. The Trojans, intercollegiate champions, are defending their dual meet title. Southern California smothered the California Bears under a 76½ to 54½ score here last Saturday afternoon. Stanford is considered an easy winner over the Bears, which makes the meet this week a titular affair. Dope is so close between the Trojans and Stanford that practically none of the experts are attempting a prediction on the outcome. The Cardinals have a slight edge. Both teams are unusually well balanced and, after scrapping it out for the duel meet championship this Saturday, are expected to be the two leading contestants for the national intercollegiate title at Philadelphia: May 28 and the Pacific coast intercollegiate here a week later. Stanford is doped to win firsts in the 340, high hurdles, low hurdles, relay, shot, discus, javelin and high jump. Dope is so close between the Trojans and Stanford that practically none of the experts are attempting a prediction on the outcome. The Cardinals have a slight edge. Both teams are unusually well balanced and, after scrapping it out for the duel meet championship this Saturday, are expected to be the two leading contestants for the national intercollegiate title at Philadelphia May 28 and the Pacific coast intercollegiate here a week later. Stanford is doped to win first in the 440, high hurdles, low hurdles, relay, shot, discus, javelin and high jump. The Trojans should carry off top honors in the 190, 220, 830, mile, two mile and pole vault. The event in question is the broad jump, where each team has three men jumping consistently over 25 feet. Meeting Stanford on Monday, California Tuesday, St. Mary's Friday and Santa Clara Saturday, the Southern California baseball squad leaves Saturday evening for a trip to the bay district. The Trojans are in second place behind St. Mary's in the California Intercollegiate League. Coach Sam Crawford's squad has pitched even with every team played to date, winning the first game and dropping the second in each series. The trip will decide the series between Southern California and Stanford, California and Santa Clara, while St. Mary's will be played for the first time. If dope holds true, the Trojans and Saints are to play for the league title here on April 22 and 23, when St. Mary's comes to Los Angeles for their two-game series with the Cardinal and Gold team. Southern California's sprinters still reign supreme on the Pacific coast. After Charles Borah and Captain Ed House had defeated Phil Barber and Russell Sweet, former coast champions, in the Olympic club meet earlier this month, the two came in first and second as named in both races against California here last Saturday. In addition, Johnny Parsons, who ran the furlong last year but switched to the 449 this year, came back to his original event to place third in the 220. Herschel Smith ran the 160, but a pulled muscle, sustained in practice two weeks ago, kept him from placing, and the Bears took third in the century. The place occupied by Kenneth Grumbles, national intercollegiate and national A. A. U. low hurdles champion of 1925 and 1926, may not be so hard to fill at Southern California. Grumbles' graduation last spring left only one Trojan in the lows. This was Morton Kaer, all-American halfback during the 1926 football season. Since Kaer did not bring Troy a single point all last year in his first season of varsity competition and since he reported late this year, Coach Dean Cromwell has been expecting to be thoroughly beaten in all low hurdle races; but last Saturday in his first race of the season, Kaer won the even from California in the fast time of 24 seconds. The Bears had been favored for first and second. The well-known cry of coaches for reserve power is proving well founded in track as well as football. At least Dean Cromwell has found it so in his sprinting group at Southern California. Cromwell possesses four sprinters of more than passing ability and has yet to experience the gratifying feeling-of having the entire quartet in good shape at the same time. Three men are all any team can enter in a single event, and this is the sum total out of the list that Cromwell has been able to muster for any meet. The Trojan sprinters are Captain Ed House and Herschel Smith, seniors, and Charles Borah and Weldon Draper, sophomores. With Borah, national champion; House, Pacific coast dual meet champion last season; Smith, former national junior champion, and Draper, a LEGION NOTES California war veterans on Uncle Sam's pension roll will receive their customary monthly allotments from the government in spite of the fact that the appropriation bill taking care of the budget for the interior department was fillibustered to death in the closing hours of the last congress, according to Dr. John F. Slavich, state commander of the American Legion. Adjustment of funds to take care of the already allotted war pensions has been made at Washington, and Civil war veterans, their widows, Spanish-American and World war veterans will not be without this help, as was originally feared. "We are however greatly disappointed," declares Slavich, "that the small increase in pensions requested of congress for certain types of tubercular cases is not to be realized at this time for disabled World war veterans, and I am personally disappointed that the few remaining veterans of the Civil war and their aged widows are not to enjoy the few comforts made possible by the small increase requested for them from the government." of 1926 and 1928, may not be so hard to fill at Southern California. Grumbles' graduation last spring left only one Trojan in the lows. This was Morton Kaer, all-American halfback during the 1926 football season. Since Kaer did not bring Troy a single point all last year in his first season of varsity competition and since he reported late this year, Coach Dean Cromwell has been expecting to be thoroughly beaten in all low hurdle races; but last Saturday in his first race of the season, Kaer won the even from California in the fast time of 24 seconds. The Bears had been favored for first and second. Alex Graham, a newcomer, ran two yards back of Kaer to take second for the Trojans, and Charles Webber, another unheard of, tied with Enos, Bear star, for third. With three men who have all jumped over 23 feet this year, Southern California has developed unexpected strength in the broad jump this season. Last Saturday against California with Clif Reynolds, star Trojan leaper, out with a bad leg, Jesse Hill, a sophomore, jumped 23 feet 6½ inches to win. Morton Kaer wound up in second with a mark of 23 feet 2¼ inches. Reynolds has done 23 fee 7½ inches this year for a new Southern Pacific A. U. record. MINNESOTA PICNIC The Minnesota picnic at Municipal park last Saturday was attended by a large number of people, former residents of the Gopher state. Among the speakers were Judge Moll of St. Peter, Minn., now visiting at Pasadena; Judge E. B. Krams of Tracy, Minn., now at Long each for the winter; Judge W. H. Thomas of Santa Ana, a former resident of Albert Lea, Minn., and others. Officers elected for the ensuing year at the business meeting were: Jack Martin, president; H.C. Lawrence, vice-president; George Varnum, secretary; C.C. Relnert, treasurer, and Dr. Long, publicity man. Speaking of having a tug of war when Greek meets Greek, the same thing happens in the Senate when Reed meets Reed. Assurance from Mrs. Florence P. Kahn, congresswoman from California, that every effort will be made to see that this state secures its proper allotment of German war trophies has been received by State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the American Legion. "It was feared for a time," Fisk states, "that due to the great distance from the Atlantic coast, California would be awarded only the smaller pieces of captured guns and other war accoutments. These trophies, we are informed, will be shipped on a government boat via the Panama canal and will be dispensed by Adjutant General R. E. Mittlesteaudt." Los Angeles has formally entered the field to secure the 1930 national convention of the American Legion. Civic organizations of Los Angeles have joined with Legion leaders in California to bring the World war veterans there two years hence. At the testimonial banquet tendered by the American Legion of San Francisco to United States District Attorney George J. Hatfield, Saturday evening last, and which was attended by more than three hundred former World war veterans from all parts of California, presentation of several tokens of cateem was made. From his California comrades in the Legion, a gold badge, testifying to his previous service as national committeeman, was awarded Hatfield by Dr. John F. Slavich, state commander of the Legion. From the San Francisco posts a large Legion wall plaque was presented by Frank Belgrano, commander of the San Francisco war veterans, their windows. Spanish-American and World war veterans will not be without this help, as was originally feared. "We are however, greatly disappointed." declares Slavich, "that the small increase in pensions requested of congress for certain types of tubercular cases is not to be realized at this time for disabled World war veterans, and I am personally disappointed that the few remaining veterans of the Civil war and their aged widows are not to enjoy the few comforts made possible by the small increase requested for them from the government."

ORDINANCE NO. 504 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, AMENDING SECTION 15 OF ORDINANCE NO. 442, AS AMENDED BY ORDINANCE NO. 498, ORDINANCE NO. 442 BEING ENTITLED: "AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE LICENSE OF BUSINESS, PROFESSIONS, SHOWS, EXHIBITIONS AND GAMES CONDUCTED OR CARRIED ON IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM. FIXING THE RATE OF LICENSE THEREFORE, PROVIDING FOR COLLECTION THEREOF, AND FIXING PENALTIES FOR DRESS consistent 9.8 seconds hundred man in high school, things looked rosy at the start of the present season and there was talk of shifting Smith to the 440, along with Johnny Parsons, who was a 220 man last year. Borah, House, Smith and Draper had all previously run under 10 seconds in the century, and Parsons, as well as the other four, had done under 22 seconds in the 220. Then Draper injured his ankle before the first meet of the year. The sophomore's leg is still weak and he may be out the entire season. So in the sprint relays at the A. A. U. carnival Parsons had to run with Borah, House and Smith. The quartet did 42 seconds in the 440 and 1:28.6 in the S80 relay events. This wouldn't have been so bad, but Smith pulled a muscle in practice and the injury is still troubling him. He may have to confine his activities throughout the year to the 100 and let Parsons take his turn in the 220, instead of going into the quarter mile. House and Borah have to date remained off the hospital list, while Parsons joined the others by being sick for the past several weeks. If Draper gets into condition again, he will run the 100 with House and Borah, while Smith should be round into shape, will race inthe 220 with the other two. That would leave Parsons free to do the quarter mile. Should Draper be out all-year, he will have three years of competition left. Borah has two more seasons after this, and Parsons one year of competition. Bert Darling, star freshman, will join the varsity dash men next year, so Cronwell is assured for two more years of three capable sprinters. If they dodge injuries. county council, while George Stout, secretary of the California veterans' welfare board, in appreciation of Hatfield's long service on that board, presented Hatfield with a gold watch. Urging World war veterans not to borrow on their adjusted compensation certificates unless in dire need, Earl E. Jensen, state chairman of the veterans' rehabilitation committee of the American Legion and chairman of the state board of California institutes, has issued an appeal to his California comrades. "Your 'bonus certificate,' as it is commonly known," advises Jensen, "is a nest-egg for your old age, and is payable in 1945. The average loan that can be made now is in the neighborhood of 750; the interest on such loan will be compounded at 6 per cent annually and, in 1945 would amount to more than $250. The prudent veteran will not borrow on his certificate unless he knows that he can repay or unless he is in real need. We, in the Legion, are urging our comrades not to impair this forethought intended for later needs when their earning capacity has been lessened." Jensen states. Three hundred American Legion posts throughout California are arranging to assist in the activities of American Forest Week, scheduled for April 24-30, according to Charles G. Dunwoody, assistant chairman of the state committee in charge of the program. Governor Young, as chairman, has given the movement his full approval. The Legion will place speakers in the public schools and before many-of-the civic and service organizations through-out the state, urging protection of our forest and water resources.
