This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding That Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others in The Field VOL. XXV—NO. 63 GRID SEASON OPENS HERE SATURDAY Santa Ana High Plays First Game of Orange League Season A. U. H. S. Field The official opening of the Orange-co League football season in Anaheim will take place when Coach Youngmen's aggregation will tangle with their ancient enemy, Santa Ana on the local gridiron tomorrow afternoon. There will be a gala event on the high school campus tonight when the student body will hold the inevitable bonfire to spur their pigeon warriors to victory. Santa Ana's victory over San Diego last week by the score of 14 to 0 indicates that they have an extra strong team or the San Diego bunch is weak. However, those who have seen the Santa Anans in action declare that they have a good organization and, with several games under their belt will be a hard aggregation to beat. On the other hand the wise ones are pointing out the advantage Anaheim will have in speed, declaring that will more than offset the visitors, which means that the home squad will probably resort to an aerial attack. San Diego's aerial tactics were successfully broken up a half dozen times last week by the neighbor team. In Clayes, Cook and Kitchens, Anaheim has a heady and speedy back field. Given a stiff line, Anaheim will score. Coach Youngman is seemingly enthralled with that old spirit, which has not many a varsity squad to victory ever staring defeat in the face for FRIENDS DEFEND UNIVERSITY HEAD LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14—Friends rushed today to the defense of Arthur F. Torrance, Ph. D., alumnus of the University of Southern California, former pastor of the Zaferia Methodist Episcopal church at Long Beach, and at present head of a university in China, who was dropped from the Southern California conference of the Methodist Episcopal church following charges that he was intimate with a woman other than his wife. It was asserted by friends that Torrance, because of his presence in China, was unable to defend himself personally before the conference, as is required and that Torrance's failure to appear means only that the prominent Los Angeles university student has chosen to retire from the ministry.
