CITY TO HAVE
BOWLING ALLEYS
Eight Alleys Installed in Old
Mill Building-Open
December l

Pleasantville is to have bowling
alleys of it's own. Announcement
was made today that w. c. Karrer.
former director of tournaments at
the Atlantic City S. S. alleys, has
completed the installation of eight
alleys in the old Taubel mill build
ing, and will open the place on
December 1.
During the months of next sum-
mer, eight more alleys will be in
stalled, giving this city a bowling
and recreation parlor that should
outclass anything in this section.
Thousands of dollars are being
spent by the promoters, the Will
Kar Bowling Enterprises, of which
Mr.. Karrer is the head, to make
the new alleys modern in every re-
spect. The hall will be refinished
throughout, and the playing equip
ment will be Brunskick-Balke.
Any teams desiring to enter or
form leagues in this city may reach
Mr.. Karrer by addressing mail to
Box 14S, Route 3, Pleasantville.

dear than just a last whitewashed
strip of turf.
The sight of goal posts, white
against a bule October sky or black
against November's gray, caused
a lump in fans throat. They
were as colorful and sad as Connie
Mack, huddled in the bench watch
ing his never-get-their Athletics.
And now they've taken them
away.
1t is a safe bet that this season
there will not be so many last
yard, last-down desperate stands.
The line always held better when
it felt the posts at its back. You
can't give your life to save a stripe
of whitewash-but to keep the
dear old goal posts unsullied by
enemy touchdowns, that's different.
Nobody Knows Why
Why they took our goal posts

2 Harbor Eleven Meets Aceys in Home Game
HIGH SCHOOL II
PLAYS VINELAND
Team Will Meet Opponents
Away; Forward Passing
Strength May Be Used

The Pleasantville High School
football team, undaunted by its r.
3 setback at the hands of Millville
Saturday, will journey to Vineland
tomorrow to face the strong high
school team there.
Vineland's student troubles have
been ironed out, and its entire
squad, slated last week for elimina-
ton because of scholastic marks,
has been reinstated. The Vineland
team is a strong one, and has sew
eral victories to it's credit thus far.
The Pleasantviiie team learned a
few things in the game last Satur-
day. Among them is the fact that
If they really want to they can put
over an aerial attack. Heretofore
the maroon team has been cautious
in it's use of the forward pass. 1t
has depended almost entirely on
the line plunging of Griscom and
Tripician to carry the ball down
the field.
Last week, with the score 1873
against them and only few min
utes to play, the eleven put over a
dazzling forward pass attack which
showed remarkable skill Although
the attack did not serve it's purpose
(the final whistle intervening), it
had the fans asking, why didn't
they do that earlier in the gamer"
Tomorrow's game at Vineland
ought to produce some results. If
the local team cannot win the Glass
B championship this year, it can at
least prove stumbling block to
the other aspirants.
1t is expected that large crowd
of supporters will travel with the
team to Vineland. The high school
student fans, incidentally, ought to
learn that a team needs cheering
most when it has it's back against
the goal line. Moral encourage
ment, as guaged by cheers, was
sadly lacking Saturday after the
team seemed beaten.

WHO'S COT Sc?
ANY Man With One Nickel
Can Buy Himself a Cigar
That's Mild, Sweet, and
Satisfying From First
Puff to Last

Any cigar smoker can afford to
invest one nickel to try out a new
smoke. But many men are afraid
of fve-centers. They've had hard
luck with them.
But the inside, ground-foor fact
is that there's an amazingly good
smoke on the market at five cents
today. Not an experiment, but an
old-time brand that's been satisfy
ing critical smokers for thirty
years. 1t used to cost more than a
nickel. 1t sold so well that the
manufacturer first reduced the
price, and then bettered the cigar.
Now it's selling in the millions.
The name of this smoke is
Hapano Ribbon. 1t is made of ripe
tobacco. 1t is mellow, mild, and
fragrant. Give it a chance. Invest
five cents in Hauana Ribbon. We
know you'll join the smoke-wise
men that swear by this satisfying
cigar.

Hanley coached the Pendleton high
school in Oregon to a state champ
ionship. From there he went to the
Haskell Indians at Lawrence, Kas.,
where he met with almost I'M
believable success.
Little was heard of the Haskell
Institute before Hanley's arrival,
but he soon brought them along
until they began to be known in a
national way and were considered
worthy successors to the famous
Carlisle Indians. Their first note
worthy performance was in 1928
when Minnesota was lucky enough
to win a Is to IL victory
Two years later they came east
and showed Brown the short end
of a II to Is score and that was
evidence enough that Haskell had
arrived. And now with Northwestern
his success continues.

The game Sunday against the
Olympics, in which the locals re-
ceived their first defeat of the sea-
son, showed up several weaknesses
in the defense which Coach Craig
has ironed out during the past
week of practice. The game, fur
thermore, demonstrated that the
team had real strength, despite the
reports that the Olympics feel they
have clinched the sectional title
with their victory.
Egg Harbor is coming here with
a strong team. The men from up
the pike defeated the Chelsea Vel
low Jackets recently by a score
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-10-28

which was greater than the margin
the Olympics had over the Chelsea
team. But the locals are prepared
to put up a good fight, and are OPP
timistic about their chances for a
victory.
The game tomorrow is the first
of series of four home games to
which the local football fans will be
treated. Then, on December 8, the
Aceys meet the Olympics again.
The Atlantic City team will meet
some opposition then, according to
predictions made by the locals.
The game tomorrow will be play
ed on the Floral avenue field, and
will be called at 2.45 O'Clock.

rs BACK

Loss of the goal posts has al
ready caused several tangles. Twice
in the east this season touchdowns
were scored and nobody knew it.
Bill Ingram, shown in inset
above, coach of the Navy, is one of
those who wants his goal posts
back and Bill doesn't care who
knows it.
THE boys have nothing to de-
fend now" says Bill, and the
spectators lose because football has
less color"
There is another angle. Think OF
the sports writer's. Where will they
find another phrase so beautiful as
1.-The team stood in the shadow of
its goal posts ?" To do that now,
teams will have to stand in the $3.50
seats or outside the stadium.
We want our goal posts and it's
a safe bet we'll get 'em-before an
other season kicks around.

They've taken our goal posts
away from us. And we want them
back.
Even this early in the season,
football fans and players are rails
ing mighty howl about their be-
loved goal posts. And they have
right to.
When the rule makers in their
august wisdom moved the gaunt
uprights and cross-bar from the
end of the gridiron to ten yards
back, they took something out of
football which cannot be replaced
Something to Defend
The goalposts gave the teams
something tangible to defend. There

The first victory ever scored by
Northwestern over an Ohio State
eleven, and the first time the

touchdown against the Ohioans.
That is the result of Dick Han

Northwestern in a Big Ten game,
and his Wildcats will score many
more touchdowns before the sea-
