COLONY QUIPS A trip north to a football game is always a great pleasure to a fan but when you ride along on the 'Team Special' with the ball club itself then the outing is truly worth remembering. Taking off on this train last Friday night we watched the team devour really enormous portions of roast beef and a lot of trimmings, heard the Trojan band play "Fight On" as we pulled out (The band train was delayed by a broken switch which put them in Berkeley for the last part of the second quarter) and were able to sit around with a few old team mates of other years and tell a lot of tall ones. Arriving in Oakland Saturday morning we found all of 'Superior' California in a state of great dither. After years of only being able to talk of their tremendous educational advantages, they finally thought they had something vastly more to their liking to brag about; a winning football team. With notable reserve they pointed to the record of all wins by large scores and not a tie among them. Russ Newland of the AP picked Cal by six, Bill Lieser said it could and would be done. Prescott Sullivan said Cal would win, then had a change of heart and picked SC 21 to 7. The man in the street figured this was only done for physiological reasons. Even the Cabby was able to tell you about 'Pappy' Waldorf's three interchangeable lines and of the great VOLUME LXXVII ANAHEIM Hallowe'en Day Program — All Of It And Remember It's Thursday, Oct. 30 6:00 A.M.

Grand Hallowe'en Parade, Andy Devine, grand With notable reserve they pointed to the record of all wins by large scores and not a tie among them. Russ Newland of the AP picked Cal by six, Bill Lieser said it could and would be done. Prescott Sullivan said Cal would win, then had a change of heart and picked SC 21 to 7. The man in the street figured this was only done for physiological reasons. Even the Cabby was able to tell you about 'Pappy' Waldorf's three interchanegable lines and of the great depth in the backfield. They told you how the first line would wear the Trojans down and then how the second line, coming in fresh, would deliver the 'coup de grace.' (They were right because the game was won in the line.) Cal would score quickly, hold SC and go on to win. It was as simple as that. As early as 10 o'clock people started tramping into Strawberry canyon. Parking places on lawns and in driveways were selling for $3.00 per copy, traffic was snarled on all streets. This Berkeley stadium has a fine playing field, for the turf is not used as much as the Coliseum but there are no backs on the seats and the parking conditions are terrible. By 1:30 nearly all the seats were full and Cal supporters were treated to the win of their Frosh over the Trobabes, 12 to 13. This was rather a heart breaker for the Trobabes for in the last moment of play a perfect pass was dropped in the end zone and with it the ball game. When the Frosh game was over a hush of expectancy came over the assembled multitude and when the two Varsity squads came out for their warm-up the noise nearly shook down the old stadium. Then the game started and on the first play from scrimmage Cal went all the way and put seven points on the score board. The stands shook as if by an earthquake and the Cal's jaws dripped as they dug into the raw meat and a lot of others felt their heart sink. That is a lot of Trojans, except the team on the field. The SC team just took the ball on the next kickoff, calmly quick-kicked over their opponents heads and when the Cal backs 500 Expected To Participate In Horse Show Bob Simon and Horse "Golden Boy" Are Products of Rehabilitation Bob Simon, motion picture company executive and World War II casualty, who was told he could never ride again and his horse "Golden Boy" who once was so far gone it was thought he could never again be ridden, will appear at Hallowe'en Festival horse 500 Expected To Participate In Horse Show Approximately 500 horses are expected to participate in the biggest amateur horse show to take place this year in Orange county which will be held at 9 p.m. Thursday in the City Park as a gala culmination to Anaheim’s 24th Annual Hallowe’en Festival. Jim Elliott, chairman of the show, has announced the program and rules for participants who plan to ride in the parade. Equestrian participants in the parade must be with a uniformed group, in matching pairs, participants in the Horse Show, or individual riders in Hallowe’en costume, Elliott said. A special highlight of the horse show is to be the silver judging. The largest gathering of silver equipment yet assembled in southern California is anticipated. The Long Beach Mounted Police will lead entries in the silver judging, which will be followed by competition in the plain western classification, other contests, races and novelty numbers. Four couples on horseback will present a quadrille team dance, complete with music and caller, as another interesting feature of the evening. Carolina Cotton, blonde heroine of western films and grand marshalette of the parade, will participate in the show, riding “Tony,” famed pinto performer of the movies. Republic Studio official Bob Simon will also appear, with his prize-winning palomino “Golden Boy.” Bob Simon, motion picture company executive and World War II casualty, who was told he could never ride again and his horse “Golden Boy” who once was so far gone it was thought he could never again be ridden, will appear at Hallowe’en Festival horse show. Both Bob Simon and his palomino horse “Golden Boy” who will participate in Anaheim’s Hallowe’en Festival represent a singular rehabilitation job. O. Robert Simon, an executive of the Republic picture studio and an authentic working cowboy, was so severely wounded in World War II that the medicos told him he would never be able to work or ride again. Simon wasn’t convinced. To prove the medicos wrong he began looking for a horse he could train so that he could ride him. He eventually ran into a castoff palomino which seemed to be badly in need of veterinary attention and other services. Simon saw possibilities in the horse apparently not visible to others, bought him, had him doctored and began training him for his own use. Simon and the horse made their physical come-back together. The discarded palomino now is “Golden Boy” on which Simon will participate in Anaheim’s Hallowe’en Grand Parade and afterward participate in the horse show at the City Park. Simon will also serve as one of the judges of the Slick Chick contest. BACKS RECOVERING FROM ILLNESS Fred Backs is recuperating from an illness of several weeks in the Anaheim hospital.

South To Get 55% of State Highway Funds Fifty-five percent of all California highway funds is slated for expenditure in the 13 southern California counties during the next five years as compared with the outlay of 43.7 percent that went for highway construction in the same counties during the last 34 years. An analysis indicates combined funds to correct critical highway deficiencies and to construct freeways in the 13 southern counties will amount to $193,231,000 in the next five years as compared with the anticipated statewide total in the same period of around $351,-330,000. Highway expenditures in the 13 southern counties in the 34 previous years, 1912-1946 amounted to $252,564,000 as against a statewide total of $577,484,000.
