Anaheim Personalities Robert H. Boney The west coast has been hearing a lot lately about the fine football teams turned out by the colleges and universities of the southwest, especially Texas, and now we discover that Anaheim has a resident and business leader who did quite a bit of pigskin lugging for Baylor university of Waco, Texas, more than two decades ago. One needs to take only a quick look at Robert H. Boney, Dodge and Plymouth dealer at 328 West Center street, to see that it was entirely possible for him to be varsity left halfback for three years at Baylor. The amazing part is that Boney doesn't appear much larger today than he did in his playing days. Incidentally, the girdiron wasn't the only place Boney shined—he was also a top-notch baseball player. Boney was born and raised in Texas, and attended Baylor prep ANAH VOLUME LXXI ANAHEIM Anaheim Defeats Covina to Close Successful Year Colonists Win Central Group Championship by Beating Colts, 18 to 6 BY RUSS McCOMB Anaheim union high school gridders, CIF central group champions, have today turned their attentions to other sports following the close of the most successful football season in recent years. The Colonists wound up their campaign last Friday by trouncing Covina, 18 to 6, for the central group title. The game was played at Covina. Anaheim wasted little time in assuming control of the game. After failing to gain the first time they had the ball, the Colonists stopped the Colts' first drive on the Anaheim 27-yard line, and from there marched straight down the gold for the opening touchdown. The score came on the first play of the second quarter, with Jim Gesler stepping over the final stripe after taking a 12-yard aerial from Bill Lewis. Another pass, for the extra point, went in complete. Storm This Week ADDS 1.82 Inches To Season's Total The rainstorm during Monday and Tuesday added 1.82 inches of precipitation to the season total, according to figures recorded by the Anaheim Union Water company. Most of the rain fell here during the 24 hour period between midnight Monday morning and midnight Tuesday morning. Anaheim has received a total precipitation for the season of 4.11 inches, the water company reported. At the same time last year the total was 5.91 inches. Death Summons Mrs. Johnston Funeral Services Conduct Tuesday Morning for Prominent Woman Scores of friends of Mrs. Annie Wickett Johnston, wife of Dr. A. Johnston, widely-known Anaheim physician and surgeon gathered at the First Presbyterian church Tuesday morning to pay final tribute to her memory. R Stanley Frederick George, pass school before entering the university. He remained in the Lone Star state for a little more than a year after his marriage to Miss Kathryn Felts at Dallas, Texas, on June 24, 1918, arriving in Anaheim in August, 1919. He chose this city because he like the people living here, Boney said. Dealership for the Jordan motor cars being available at that time, Boney stepped right into the business that he still follows, although he has made two changes in makes of automobiles handled during the 21 years he has been in business. In 1925; he changed to the Hudson and Essex cars, and in 1936 took over the Dodge and Plymouth agency. Boney served as pay officer in the navy during the first World War and is now a member of the Anaheim Rotary club and a director of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. Mr. and Mrs. Boney and their two children, Betty Ruth and Robert H., jr., reside at 421 North Slementine street. Oscar N. Brower Be a musician and see the world could be the motto of Oscar N. Brower of 508 North Claudina street, who for the past 20 years has been turning, repairing and refinishing pianos for Anaheim residents.

After failing to gain the first time they had the ball, the Colonists stopped the Colts' first drive on the Anaheim 27-yard line, and from there marched straight down the gold for the opening touchdown. The score came on the first play of the second quarter, with Jim Gesler stepping over the final stripe after taking a 12-yard aerial from Bill Lewis. Another pass, for the extra point, went incomplete. Marvin Sparks Drive Bob Marvin, hard-hitting and speedy fullback, sparked the scoring drive with a brilliant 24-yard jaunt through the middle of the line, carrying the oval from Covina's 36 to the 12-yard ribbon. The quarter ended as Lewis failed to connect with a pass, but Gesler did a fine piece of feigning on the next play to get clear of the defense and take the quarterback's next toss. Covina threatened again at the start of the third period, working the ball from their own 23 to Anaheim's 28 before Lewis stepped in front of a Colt aerial for an interception on his own 20-yard line. Two fine runs off tackle by Stanley Nigg, and a pair of scrimmage-line passes from Nigg to Fletcher were the principal ground-gainers on the drive. Lewis Runs 20 Yards Lewis' interception not only stopped the Colts, but started the Colonists on the way to their second touchdown. With Lewis and Marvin alternating at hitting the tackles, running the ends and crashing through the middle, Anaheim moved the ball to midfield. With fourth down and a yard to go, Lewis took the pigskin on a jaunt around left end that wasn't stopped until the Colonist ace reached the 30-yard ribbon. When Marvin fumbled for no gain and Lewis' pass fell untouched it looked like the drive had bogged down. But the tricky Colonists pulled a surprise by shifting Earl Williams into Lewis' tail-back spot, and the blond right half broke into the clear at right end with the aid of some terrific blocking and then fought his way down the sideline to go over for a touchdown. It was one of the prettiest runs of the day in that it coupled fine footwork by Williams. Robber Accosts Funeral Services Conducted Tuesday Morning for Prominent Woman Scores of friends of Mrs. Annie Wickett Johnston, wife of Dr. A. Johnston, widely-known Anaheim physician and surgeon gathered at the First Presbyterian church Tuesday morning to put final tribute to her memory.
