PASADENA, Jan. 1.-The local Young
Mems Christian association held a very
pleasant open house tonight in its aud
itorium to celebrate the close of a very
successful year and the auspicious
opening of another new year. The occa-
sion was made quite Informal, but
was none the less enjoyable. About
FIVE hundred members and friends OF
the association gathered in the spa
cious auditorium after a period of hand
shaking and social gossip and listened
TO short program
Mr.. Jones gave a number of vocal
solos, the association quartet sang and
there was music by the orchestra.
Miss May MCGOWAN favored the
gathering with two readings. Then
there were brief talks on association
work, after which light Refreshments
were served by the ladies of the aux
iliary. The fact that tournment day
is hard day for nearly everybody
caused the crowd to separate at all
early hour.
The wish was expressed by many that
the year 1906 see the successful rails
ing of the money to make the needed
additions to the present association
building.
Whittier Loses Game
Early this forenoon the husky basket
ball heroes from the Whittier high
school met the local Y. NJ. Q. A. team
at the latter's courts in an effort to
settle which of the two is really the
better team. The game was played
early in the day in order to arrive at a
decision before the Tournament parade
should attract the spectators to the
downtown streets. Both teams put up

stood tie. The playing was continued
by common consent and the association
men secured the first goal, winning the
game by the score: Y. NJ. c. A., II;

Stanford GIee Club
clubs gave a very enjoyable concert
tonight at the Lowe opera house and
were favored with a good crowd Of
personal friends and friends of the uni
versity. Two Pasadena young men are
with the club this year, Roy Kellogg
and G. L. Severy, both we'll known here.
Their work, as well as that of the
entire clubs, was of the highest order.

uate visitors given warm welcome.
Submit Compromise Tomorrow
The matter of Sunday afternoon band
concerts will be brought before the city
commissioners it is hoped for the last
time at the meeting tomorrow. Every
commissioner will be in his place and
the compromise proposed by Rev. NJ. j.
Mcleod will receive consideration. The
friends of the concerts are confident
that their desires will finally receive
the boards sanction and say that they
are ready to meet the church people
more than half way.
