Perkins gave Anaheim its opportunity to score its second touchdown when he intercepted an Excelsior pass, being down on the Anaheim 37-yard line.

What steps member cities and sanitary districts of the Orange county joint outfall sewer will take toward complying with an order by the state department of health to replace the temporary settling basin will be discussed when the executive board meets a week from tonight.
Anaheim, and other members of the joint outfall sewer, received official notification of the department's decision on the matter of sewage odor last Friday, the terms of order being somewhat different than originally reported.
Must Improve Treatment
The order pointed out that the temporary settling basins that were constructed after the flood or March of last year are not suited for prolonged use and must be improved. It also pointed out that the state department of health had asked the member cities to provide better treatment of its sewage in 1936 when Newport connected with the joint outfall, but "no substantial progress has been made."
"Pending the replacement of the temporary settling basins by adequate modern sewage treatment works, and also the elimination of sewer line odors," all permit granted by the state department of health relating to sewage disposal of the Orange county joint outfall have been suspended, effective January 1, 1940," the order stated.
No Penalty Named
It has been previously reported unofficially that the permits were to be revoked on January 1, rather than suspended. The previous reports also said that a penalty of $1000 a day would be assessed for each day the line was used after January 1, but the official order made no mention of such penalty.
