Race Track History!
Santa Anita Opens SeUenth Season While Golden
Gate Turf Club Makes Its Debut

SANTA ANITA, Dec. 27.-For
the first time in California history,
two race tracks - one of them a
new one-wilI open tomorrow.
The huge plant at Santa Anita
opens its seventh season, while at
Albany, Cal, near San Francisco,
the new Golden Gate Turf Club
will make its debut.
Both tracks will operate under
a new ruling by the California
horse racing board. Jockeys for
all races, excepting stakes. will
not be made public until 11:30 a.
m. each racing day. according TO
Chairman of the Board Jerry
GieSler.
Giesler announced last night
that the jockeys would be locked
in their rooms at that time. and
that programs would be sold 81
simultaneously, revealing which
jockeys would ride which horses.
The ruling was passed as a re-
suit of evidence disclosed in a re-
cent expose of fixed races.

Stanford IT. Drills
at Pasadena
International News Service Wire

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. q
Stanford's football team was in
tact at Pasadena today, and after
counting noses, Shaughnessy called
for a workout at Brookside Park
to continue the serious drills for
the Rose Bowl battle with Ne
braska on New Years Day.
The Indian mentor, however,
planned to take things bit easier
than the knock-down-drag-out
sessions at Patio Alto, which may
have cost Stanford Milt Vucinich,
alternate fullback.
Vucinich, who substitutes for
Norman Standlee, received a leg
injury Tuesday and it is extremely
doubtful whether he will be able
to see much. if any, action against
the Cornhuskers.
The team took a run on the
practice field late yesterday for
the benefit Of cameramen, but il
was largely passing drill, with
adroit frankie Albert throwing
them smoothly and accurately.

Recess Committees
Take Up Inquiries
For LEGISLATURE

(COntl0ueQ from 4 aSc ollc)
the assembly to vote on Gov. OIL
sons veto of a bill returning relief
control to the counties. The admin
istration sought thus to defeat the
coalition, which admittedly could
not muster the required two thirds
majority to override.
But the coalition refused to rise
to the bait and the veto carries
over until the May session, since
the senate likewise refused to act.
Advocates of county control claim
the change would lower costs, re-
move radcalism and politics from
relief and give local officials au-
thority over expenditures.
Olson forces argued it would low
er standards, endanger federal dis
tribution of surplus commodities,
and force relief clients to accept
substandard wages, particularly IN
agriculture.
The temper of the legislature re-
garding Olsons policies was clearly
indicated when administration rep
reSentatives were left entirely OF
the Joint relief committee.
Members of the committee are
John Phillips, Banning, chairman,
whose original report of Communist
influences within the SRA stirred
up a tempest; Roy j. Nielsen, Sac
ramento; j. l. Wagy, Bakersfield;
Frank Mixter. Exeter; Jesse Mayo,

tration Democrats. Senate PreSi-
