Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 24, 1927 Trojan Football Captain Candidate for All-American When Morley Drury, Trojan football captain quarterback and candidate for All-American honors, doffs his gridiron gear after the Washington game in the local coliseum, on the afternoon of December 3. he will have completed three years of excellent service on the tanbark in the service of his Alma Mater. But he will be far from having completed his athletic career. There is no more versatile athlete on the Trojan campus than Drury. He plays any position on the football team. He played center and end in high school, and under Jones has performed at quarterback, halfback and fullback. He has made his letter as a guard on the basketball team. He has earned minor sport awards in water polo and swimming. He plays golf, soccer, tennis, lacrosse, and ice hockey with equal ability and efficiency, having gained a minor sport numeral in the latter sport. He didn't have time to perform with the other teams. He hasn't had time to go out for everything, but performs at second base with the Sigma Chi nine in the inter-fraternity baseball league. He picked up a couple of points in the javelin throw in the inter-fraternity track championship meet last spring. At one time last semester, Drury was playing four sports at one time. He was with the basketball varsity, the ice hockey squad, the water polo and swimming teams, and in his spare time worked out with tennis and golf. In between times he found plenty of opportunity for study, and worked spare moments in the students' store. That he is an apt and ready scholar is indicated by his scholastic record. Not a single "funk" is registered. Drury is a physical education major at Southern California, and intends to follow coaching as his profession when he graduates in June. There is some talk that Drury will be retained on the Trojan coaching staff. Leo Calland, Gordon Campbell, Manuel Laraneta, Jeff Cravth, Kenny Cox and Henry LeFebvre, all recent Trojan graduates, aid coaches Howard Jones and Aubrey Devine in tutoring the varsity and fresh grid squads. His passing offensive, which, by the way, was responsible for the Irish 13-12 victory over the Trojans last year, is claimed without equal. With two such dynamic offensive drives, the tilt, which is expected to draw a capacity crowd of 114,000 fans, should prove spectacular from the first whistle to closing gun. In Captain Morley Drury, the Trojans have a candidate for All-American fame, fully as capable, if not better than Morton Kacey U. S.C. star of last year, who was practically unanimous choice for national honors. Drury played halfback for two years under Jones, but this year was shifted to the quarterback position. In the Jones system, the quarterback carries the ball almost exclusively proven himself a wrist pill. For instance game alone he gains yards from serimma has proven equally Stanford he intercept more than one ooche has kicked off and made the tack the only California game, and later intec and ran 50 yards best.

Merriam Is Speaker At Rotary Luncheon Tells of Early Struggle to Establish Permanent Capital Hon. Frank Merriam of Long Beach, former speaker of the California assembly not leave San Jose for the session. "Finally Sacramento was selected as the location for the capital. This was on February 24. 1854. Since then Benito has made a stubborn fight to get the capital moved; Oakland, in 1858, made a great effort to get it; San Francisco tried in 1866, and as late as 1907 Berkeley put up a stubborn battle for the honor." Confessed Taking Cash Baseball enthusi county are highly o that the Portland coast league will tr Merriam Is Speaker At Rotary Luncheon Tells of Early Struggle to Establish Permanent Capital Hon. Frank Merriam of Long Beach, former speaker of the California assembly, made the principal address of the Rotary Club luncheon Monday. His talk was chiefly on the capital cities of the state, and the difficulty confronting the lawmakers in early days in their efforts to find a place to meet. He said in part: "Monterey was the capital of the district under Mexican rule, an honor it relinguished to San Jose after being the scene of the first constitutional convention in 1849. "San Jose was a real estate promotion venture, and it promised to erect certain buildings needed for state offices and to give them to the state if the capital were located there. However, when the legislators arrived for the first session to be held there they found that all available room had been occupied by lobbyists. They sought to go to Monterey, but bad roads prevented, and the session finally was held at San Jose. "Then General Vallejo offered a site for a capital on the head of the San Francisco bay, at the present site of the city of Vallejo. He promised 156 acres of land and $370,000 in cash for buildings. "Governor McDougal moved his offices to Vallejo, and the second session of the legislature actually opened there. But General Vallejo lost his fortune and was unable to complete his part of the deal, and it fell through. San Jose thus became the seat of the second session. "The third opened at Vallejo, but conditions were not satisfactory, so the solons chartered a steamer and went to the present site of Sacramento for their law making. The governor did not leave San Jose for the session. "Finally Sacramento was selected as the location for the capital. This was on February 24, 1854. Since then Benito has made a stubborn fight to get the capital moved; Oakland, in 1888, made a great effort to get it; San Francisco tried in 1866, and as late as 1907 Berkeley put up a stubborn battle for the honor." Confessed Taking Cash But Acquitted by Jury Although he is said to have confessed taking $1500 from the cash register of the Hardy pharmacy, at Fullerton John Johnston, former employee there, is cleared of an embezzlement charge in connection with the alleged thefts, following an instructed verdict of not guilty, returned by a jury in Superior Judge James L. Allen's court. According to the instructions of the court, there is no evidence that Johnston is guilty of embezzlement in the legal sense. Money of another, coming into one's hands through legal operations and later misappropriated, constitutes embezzlement, according to the court's definition. Judge Allen instructed the jury to render a not guilty verdict on the grounds that Johnston's alleged purloining of cash does not fall within the bounds of this definition. B. D. Hardwlek, an investigator of Los Angeles, testified that a close check kept on Johnston showed that he was taking money from the cash register. Hardy has alleged that his former employee confessed the supposed thefts after Hardwick's investigations were concluded. The operations are said to have covered a two-year period. Herbert G. Moody, Redding, Shagia county publisher, has been named department historian for the American Legion in California, according to an announcement made by Phil Dodson, state commander of the World War veterans' organization. Moody recently returned from abroad, where he attended the Paris, France national convention of the Legion.

Orange wants the next Armistice Day Local Lightweights Trample Excelsior Two Touchdowns in Closing Minute, While Led 7 to 6 Anaheim high school's Class B football team came from behind in the last two minutes of its game with Excelsior (Norwalk) high school, yesterday, to make two touchdowns and win the game, 19 to 7. Gastellum recovered the ball from Excelsior, after Anaheim had kicked off to start the game. On the second play, Kuchel went around left end for a touchdown. McKeehan tried to pass for the extra point, but failed to complete. Score: Anaheim, 6; Excelsior, 0. In the second quarter, Excelsior scored on a pass over Anaheim's left side, and also passed for the point. Score: Anaheim, 6; Excelsior, 7. The ball teetered back and forth in the second half. Anaheim holding its opponents twice for downs on its four-yard line. Two plays after the fourth quarter had opened, the final whistle blew, as per sundown rules. Conch Demaree protested, and as it was Excelsior's ball, first down and six yards to go for a touchdown, the Norwalk coach agreed to play on. Anaheim held for downs here, but on a reverse play lost the ball on the two-yard line. The Blue and Gold again held the opponents for downs. Then an exceptionally brilliant passing attack from its own one-yard line, McKeehan to Jones, put the ball on Anaheim's 11-yard line; McKeehan to Kuchel was good for 10 yards, and he ran to the Norwalk 40-yard line, due to good interference. Two more passes put the ball on the 15-yard line, and a pass. Bleewett to Kuchel, was good for the touchdown. A pass, McKeehan to Hite, made the score 13 to 7. On the first play after Anaheim kicked off, McKeehan intercepted a wide Norwalk pass and ran over for the third touchdown. The game ended with the final score Anaheim, 19; Excelsior, 7. Excelsior's playing was marred by its displeasing brand of tactics on the field. Anaheim's playing was made ball almost exclusively. Drury has proven himself a wonder at packing the pill. For instance, in the California game alone he gained more than 200 yards from scrimmage. On defense he has proven equally adept. Against Stanford he intercepted five passes. On more than one occasion this season he has kicked off to start half, and made the tackle. He recovered the only California fumble in the Bear game, and later intercepted a Bear pass and ran 50 yards before he was downed. The Chicago battle will be the sixth intersectional clash for the Trojans, and will mark the first time they have left their home grounds. They won from Penn State in a New Year's game at Pasadena, and defeated Syracuse, Missouri and Iowa in regular schedule games. Their only defeat came at the hands of Notre Dame, 13-12, last year. Coaches Jones and Rockne are even in competition however. Rockne even the score last year, for previously Jones, while at Iowa, had defeated Notre Dame. Harry Edelson, stellar Trojan sophomore fullback, is expected to be in shape for the Notre Dame game in Chicago, November 26. He suffered a leg injury in the California game that has kept him on crutches until recently. Now he is walking with a cane, but expects to be in condition to oppose the Irish. Mrs. L. M. Grunshaw, of Long Beach, was instantly killed Sunday night, when her car was struck by a Pacific Electric train at Cypress. Mrs. Prastugard, who was riding in the car, was severely shocked. She was taken to Long Beach. The body of Mrs. Grunshaw was brought to the parlor of Packs, Terry & Campbell, in this city, where Coroner Brown held an inquest Monday. Orange wants the next Armistice Day celebration, and has petitioned the county council of the American Legion, which sponsors the event, to designate this city as the place. Formal petition for the celebration was sent Friday by the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce. It is reported that the city council will take similar action at its next session.

Many Anaheim growers have been reporting monthly to the farm advisor's office during the past year. Summaries of the year's business will be compiled in January, 1928. Thanksgiving turkeys were listed on the Anaheim market at 55 cents a pound, dressed. The Thanksgiving demand was greater than usual, but there is an ample supply left over for Christmas. W. W. Burson, aviator, has filed suit against W. D. Tremaine, Harry Becker and M. J. Wolfe, Brea airplane builders, demanding damages to the amount of $12,500.

This announcement was made during the past week, when it was learned that officials of the Portland Baseball Club had agreed to accept the $5000 advance sale guarantee which the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce officials agreed to for the county. The plans of this organization are to dispose of 1000 books of 10 admissions each at $5. Orange county boosters point to the fact that the coming training season will give this county a world of favorable publicity through the sport columns of the papers of the entire country, and that furthermore, the sport will be given a big boost in this community. Executives of the Portland Baseball Club have assured local boosters that there will be at least ten games played on the Orange county fair grounds during the spring training season, and that they expect to arrange four games with major league clubs, among which, in all probability, will be the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburg Pirates. This is the first time that Orange county has afforded the opportunity of entertaining such high class exhibitions of the national pastime. There is little doubt of the fact that each community will get behind the sale of these books whole-heartedly and insure the success of the training period of our visitors. Advance sale tickets will admit the holder to all games played on the fair grounds during the Portland Beaver training season. J. R. Hunt, manager of the Orange county fair, is supervising the advance sale of the tickets. Dates for next summer's California Valencia Orange Show have been fixed by the directors. The show will open on May 24 and close June 3. This stretches the duration of the show from 10 to 11 days, and two Sundays are included in the exhibition days. There might be a slight change in this arrangement before the show is staged. Approximately 2,500,000 cans of tomatoes were shipped this season by the Cutler-Lobinger cannery of Fullerton, it was announced by H. L. Dalbey, manager. Dalbey announced that preparations are now under way to care for the annual spinach crop, packing operations on which will start about February 1. String beans will be packed after the spinach is packed. All the schools in the city closed Wednesday evening for the Thanksgiving holiday. They will resume work Monday morning. Says U. S. Now Crime Paradise America is the paradise of the criminal, charges Edward Hale Bierstadt, crime statistician, who has just completed an extensive survey of world crime conditions. "In Chicago—that jungle of the underworld—six policemen are shot for every criminal who is hanged. There are 36 more chances of being held up and robbed in New York than in London. The New York burglar has 13 changes to one in his favor. In London the odds are 10 to one against him. In 1918, to cite a typical year, all of England and Wales together had 154 cases of homicide, murder and man-slaughter. During the same period, New York City alone had 221 cases and Chicago 222. We have America safe for democracy, but we certainly haven't made it safe for the law-abiding citizen." The crime situation, Mr. Bierstadt states, is complicated by the inefficiency of police and detectives, and by the fact that in the United States we have 1,900,000 laws to be enforced. Pretty Wedding at Jongewaard Home Miss Alice Jongewaard and Mr. Justus Kirkman United A pretty wedding ceremony, witnessed by only a few intimate friends of the bride and groom, was held at noon Monday, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Jongewaard, at 515 Vine street. The bride was Miss Alice Jongewaard, sister of Mr. Jongewaard, and the groom was Justus Kirkman, both the principals being residents of Maderna. Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood performed the ceremony. The wedding was a quiet affair, only about a dozen guests being present, but among them were Mrs. R. C. Jongewaard and Miss Marie Jongewaard, mother and sister of the bride, who had come from their home in Sioux City, Iowa, to attend the wedding. The bride is a faculty member of the Maderna high school, and the groom is engaged in the grain commission business in that city. After partaking of the elaborate wedding breakfast which the host and hostess had provided, the young couple left for San Diego, but were expected to return in time to partake of the Thanksgiving dinner at the Jongewaard home today. They will return immediately to Maderna, where they will make their home.
