I am from Rochester and am in

and l have been in such cities as

Even schoolboys have their dis
putes, and the following argument
| is in answer to communication ap-
pearing in these columns last week:
| J. p. NJ:
I have noticed Joseph Pollicastro's
| letters in your column denouncing
CentraPs basketball team. Up to this
time | have been silent on this mat
bcI, D6cduSe IL SBelueu, WHEN the
records would come out, one could
| easily see which was the better team,
but when a fellow like this comes out
| and says things which are not true,
then / feel it my duty to respond. 1
know that Pollicastro's letter is not
representative of the East Side High
| School.
First. I will settle the argument
with Pollicastro himself. In the first
place, Joseph, it was not necessary
to mention South Orange to let us
know that you are in the habit of
taking vacations when you should
be in school studying and learning
something. Next, Poly, I think you
do not understand j. p. N, for he is
not the man who would yell "Robber,
Robber, . Robber at any athletic
performance. We would expect it
from you. as you said you did. When
you accuse a fair official, who has
been chosen by both sides, and who
| has been picked by the supervisor
of athletics as one who is capable
in such disgraceful terms, you are
going out of bounds as a gentleman.
BY the way, the officials name was
Mr.. Malloy, not Ma1oney, as you say
Concerning the relative merits Of
Leonardis and Lehrhoff, you must
remember, Joseph. that Leonardis is
forward while Lehrhoff is q guard
The position of the former on the
team gives him greater opportunity
for scoring, and as you are judging
the men by the number of points
scored he must surely be the better
player in your eyes. When J. p. N.
picked Lehrhoff he picked him for
all-around ability, because he is not
only q dependable guard but also
sure shot
After you have had your say you
suddenly switched from the subject
and make daring attempt to write
poetry CD, the merits of which l
refuse to discuss as a gentleman
You queer yourself here, for l have
seen better poetry in your "Orient."
AS poetry is one of the studies in
the school curriculum, why not spend
more of your time in school learning
your studies instead of picking up
an argument on some minor sport
topic and visiting South Orange? SIN
cerely, ALBERT JACQO ELS.

Joe Hill Is a mighty fine fellow, the
Bay View Juniors are a grand little
team, but it isn't likely his friend
"Sauint" will be able to pull off any
such game as the following sugges-
ton:
J. P. N:
There is great talk going on among
basketball fans about Joe Hills Bay
View Juniors as to how they stand
with teams in their class. l am a
steady follower of the Bay Views,
and Sunday after Sunday see them
outclass their opponents. / must say
as n rooter that Joe Hill has mighty
| fast team, and / would like to see a
! strong five play them which would
be able to give them some kind OF a
close battle.
| | am herewith picking team made
up of high school students which
would give the Bay Views "a battle
and probably bring home the bacon.
| The all-star juniors selected are as
! follows: McDermit, Baader and Dono-
I hue, of st. Benedict's; Lefkowitz,
! I.ehrhoff and Shartoff, of the Central
High school, and Eddie Gilhooley. the
star forward of last years st. Bene-
dict team
! If a game was booked between these
two teams it would surely stir up
considerable interest among students
| of the two schools. l hope that Joe
| Hill will try to bring these teams to-
gether and give the fans treat.
SQUINT
| Such n contest would SAVIOR entirely
too much of professionalism, and it
| isn't likely that the schoolboys men
toned would be permitted to play the
game.
! No matter what the subject is,
you'll always find someone to differ
with you. Here is an examples
j. P. NJ;
| THURSDAY the letter of IN. A. f. on
the snow-removal question. IN. A.
e." saws mat if there is law con-
corning property-owners removing
| snow from the sidewalks, why is 1t
not enforced, to give the army OF UNI
employed men something to do?
wonder where M A. f." finds the
army of unemployed men who are
looking for work. If these men were
not such laggards they would not DE
unemployed
From our garage to the emo OF our
propertv is a hundred-foot walk. That
is mic n ioh to clean off, and not one
of IN A. ELS" army of unemployed
appeared to clean it. The job was
finally given to a crowd of kids, and
they were paid just as much as any
| of IN. A. Els" unemployed would
have received.
| always understood the people on
the first and second floors of three
family house kept the walks clear
But / suppose in this particular case
the first and second floors are rented
TO some of IN. A. IS" army OF UNI
employed, and the work of clearins
the walks falls back on the Landlord
Best wishes to j. p. n EAopoS.
