OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
daughter was born on March l.
to MIR. and Mrs ]. Eddie Tryon a
Rutherford. N. J. Eddie Tryon Il
the former Colgate football star Ia
ter with the New York Yankees. II,
is now employed at the Rutherfors
High school as athletic director.
Jack Curry. manager of the Meri
den Endee basketball team is evid
emily in panic over the state
championship situation. Accordin,
to the Meriden Morning Record TO-
day, he has blasted the team which
was defeated by New Britain Thurs.
day night.
An announcement is made today
that besides Ed Wineapple, Provi.
dtnce college star, Curry has signed
two more players. They are Entrup
who played center for the Hudson
n. Y, team against New Britain and
Colland. star of the Hoboken St
Francis quintet.
He plans, SO the article states, to
shift his entire lineup. Curry plans
to start Hennie Cohen and Collani
at the forwards. Entrup will play
center while Wineapple and Jerry
Conway will play guards.
Herm Cohen, Billy Cook and Jack
Rothenfeld, three regulars all sea-
son. will be on the bench at the
start of the game although they may
get into the contest before it has
run very long
While Curry is doing this, New
Britain will stand pat on the lineup
that gave it its victory the other
night. More than ever. New Britain
Is the favorite to win tonights game
although it will probably be a clos
er battle than the game Thursday
night.
We are of the opinion that Jack
new combination than he would with
the old. A team Of all-stars doesn't
generally work out well in practice
and although the Meriden Endee
quintet might go better with its new
lineup, we would place our conf
dence in the regular team rather
than in the newcomers.
However, the game tonight will
reveal either the wisdom or the folly
OF Currys tactics.
A large number of fans will at
tend tonight's game for the sole rea-
son of seeing Ed Wineapple in ac-
ton. He stood third in scoring N
the intercollegiate league ranking
next to joey Schaaf of Penn who in
turn followed Charley Hyatt of
Pittsburgh.
Manager Clarence Lanphcr pre-
diets that his crew will stop Wine-
apple tonight. Just who will get
the task of playing him, is a qucs-
ton.

Ca Basketball Team written by Jo-

Both names are contained in the |
statement anent the finest guards in

pie. the author states:
Edward Wineapple is not only an
excellent guard. but his basket
shooting has been SO perfect that he
has been leading all the players in
scoring along the entire Atlantic
seaboard, and this includes the
scores which have been made by
Schaaf. Wineapple whose home is
in Salem, Massac husetts, won all
New England honors in sports, but
owing 10 his phenomenal success at
Providence College as basketball
player and pitcher. he has forsak-
en- the grid game. Six feet one inch,
and weighing over 200 pounds.
Wincapple is fast and will soon be
