Colonists Open 1950 Schedule Tonight With Tussel Against Bell Gardens New season, new team, new coach, new formation—all the way down to new uniforms, the Colonists christen their 1950 season tonight at Bell Gardens high school. Game time is set for 7:30. The preliminary B game will begin at 6. For Head Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke, it will be his first appearance before Anaheim rooters as a coach. No stranger to the Sunset league, he is a former Colonist foe, playing for Huntington Beach during his prep days. But this time he's on Anaheim's side, taking over the head coaching job this year from Dick Glover, who moved to the post of director of boys' athletics. Now Run T Van Hoorebeke, who came here from North Phoenix high school, brought the T formation with him, and he has installed it at AUHS. Last year the Colonists ran from the single wing. In the backfield—the most drastic change in the T—he has inherited Bowron Recall Move Carries, Makes Ballot LOS ANGELES (AP)—A recall movement against Mayor Fletcher Bowron qualified for a vote today. The City Council ordered the balloting held in conjunction with the general state election November 7. City Clerk Walter Peterson certified the required 89,427 signatures to petitions—after a dispute which was carried to the state Supreme Court. Peterson argued unsuccessfully that the petitions had not been filed within the period required by law. Bowron is accused in the recall petitions of claiming that corruption and organized vice had been cleaned up in the city “when as a matter of fact he either knew such representations to be false or was grossly negligent in his official duties.” The petitions also claim that “because of the exposure of police department corruption and brutality,” the mayor “has lost the How to Get There Here's how to arrive on the scene of the Bell Gardens-Anaheim game: North on Manchester boulevard to Rosemead boulevard.

Bonding Company Preps to Sue Musick For $11,000 Bergthold Defalcations A bonding company which repaid sheriff’s trust fund defalcation of Frederick Miller Bergthold prepared today to sue Sheriff James Musick to recover the money. Bergthold admitted looting the fund while he was the sheriff’s chief civil deputy. He is now in San Quentin prison. The Fidelity and Casualty co. paid $11,452 to the county to repay bulk of the misappropriation Bergthold admitted he used for gambling—and for which defalcation he was sent to prison. Sheriff Musick said he was informed by the bonding company he will be held personally liable for return of the money. He said he will resist the suit. Another bonding company had paid $1000 on Bergthold’s personal bond. This money is not subject to further suit. Personal assets held by Sheriff Musick would be seized if the bonding company wins the case against the sheriff. Bergthold said he lost $10,000 of the trust funds in slot machines at the Santa Ana Elks club, after dropping another $3000 on the horses. His total defalcation was put at about $13,500. The misappropriation was over a two year period. Bergthold has a wife and a son of high school age.

Off what has been shown by the Colonists thus far in practice, they will probably stick principally to the running game, and success will most likely come from runs outside the ends with any of three or four halfbacks—Leonard Weaver, Augie Huesca, Ira Webber, or Johnny Herrera—carrying. Passing is only fair, mainly because the quarterbacks have failed to smooth out their movements enough to fool the opposition.

ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1950 Allies Halt Red Chase a South Koreans Regroup on Commie Border LATE NEWS WASHINGTON, (AP) — President Truman today cabled congratulations to Gen. Douglas MacArthur "on the victory which has been achieved under your leadership in Korea." TOKYO, Sept. 29—(AP)—South Korean forces chased broken-down communist invader units to the Parallel 38 border of red North Korea tonight and then were called to a halt by the Allied command. Hallowe'en is On the Way Hallowe'en approaches and Anaheim gets the spirit. Next week, locals are prepping to blossom forth in costume for a month-long masquerade, in response to declaration of intent by Festival chairman Ken Kellyer. Western motif is expected to predominate and already Anaheim merchants are stocking up on buttons and bows, calicos, to say nothing of range-style cowboy hats and blue jeans. And Anaheim men are fast forming a beard brigade—to enhance the festive atmosphere, to, in some cases, prove that they can do it, and to take a crack at Whiskerino prizes awarded at Hallowe'en time. Whiskerino chairman Ralph Rouland reports more chin garnishing apparent every day. Local agencies and organizations are getting in the swing. Police department men today received a batch of ten gallon chapeaus which they can wear on and/or off duty. The Post Office is reportedly urging bigger and better beards among its members. A number of local merchants and their staffs are poised to burst forth in costume. The ball is rolling. The 27th Annual Anaheim Hallowe'en Festival is under way. Last one in is a monkey's uncle.

Douglas MacArthur "on the victory which has been achieved under your leadership in Korea." TOKYO, Sept. 29—(AP)—South Korean forces chased broken-down communist invader units to the Parallel 38 border of red North Korea tonight and then were called to a halt by the Allied command. The Allied vanguard was pouring artillery fire on red positions astride the line between the red North and democratic South. A U.S. 8th Army headquarters spokesman said the South Koreans were ordered to stop their advance and wait for what he called re-grouping. He declined to say or speculate on what would happen after re-grouping took place. There was still no announced decision on whether the victorious Allied armies in the south would strike into red Korea to police it against any future invasion or Soviet-inspired uprisings. Nor was there any indication that border-crossing might be left alone to the U.N.-armed South Koreans or other non-American allies as it had been suggested in diplomatic circles elsewhere. Among the suggestions was that American might be kept out of any police force going north of 38 in order not to provoke bordering red China and nearby Soviet Siberia. The avancing South Koreans in twin armored prongs stabbed up to the red border on the east coast. Other South Koreans were reported nearing 38 due north of Seoul, the liberated Korean capital 30 miles south of the border.

General MacArthur and some of his top generals flew to Seoul this morning. They were joined there by Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, 8th Army commander, and other field commanders of the United Nations forces. A few hours before the ceremony began in a hastily cleaned assembly room, security officers found several sticks of dynamite and a lead in wire on one of the room's balconies. The officers said the charges, if set off, would have been enough to blow out the front of the building.
