 BOWLING NOTES

Thanksgiving turkey encores, no doubt, proved too much to five of our bowlers, as they failed to appear for. last Fridays games: here's hoping their digestive or- gans have completed the evolution of MT Turkey by tonight. We want 40 men to appear at the Grand Alleys on league nights.
 What a break the two leading teams had last Friday, the Giants faced three man team and cop ped two, while the As were doing ton, representing the lowly Red Sox. The Braves finally got scr ious long enough to win two games from the Tigers.
 The great Pirates machine, boosting the strongest line up In the league. are in the red by three games, having won 15 games anu lost IS. Last week, the Pirates hit 1883, but still were only able to take one game from the Tanks. Can Jimmy Barber pin out? You tell him. Rudy.
 To our "Hal of F'ame," last week, came two "Paesanf' seeking ing a placc to hide their shame, both culprits are members of our Big Five team, Louis Piedmonte now occupies the throne, his SZ score i'm the first game puts him Tn q class by himself; on his right. sits Joe LovalIo. the new prime minister Joe had S4 in the last game. Bill Tato, who rollcd' S4 few weeks ago, offers congratuia. tions to his successor, "Kfng IMgg' the Barb" Browning ceremonies will take place tonight with Kay Farrell officiating.
 "Swede", a cheer me up" Lar son, put in a big week. Friday night he broke by one pin. the high single mark for the season. He also had high three for the week. with a fine total of 393. Saturday night in Bristol Swede pinched-hit for Bill Tato against the Bell City Five. Did he make good? Don't he foolish - can a duck swim" Not only did our blonde worrior give a great bowling exhibition. he was also a cheering section in him self, and how the Bristol maidens took to his golden locks. Any mall yet, Swede?
 Tonight's best bet is carded TOT 7-8 alleys. where smiling Jhl Cooney's Champs line up agains. the. hard hitting Pirates. Roden and Company should win by two touchdowns. but don't quote me-

John Williams Yale boys went into triple tie for first place with Balanda's Holy Cross team and Stanford, in the K. of l.. Cummun- ity league last night, when the Yale boys nosed out Holy Cross 24 to 23 in a rough and tumble con- test, with numberous fouls com mitted by players of both teams. Aside form the rough playing the game was fast and both teams play ed on the par, until the last min- ute of play, when Al Venslovas of the Yale team was fouled, and made a free throw good to clfnch the contest 24 to 23. Bakutis of Yale and Kvietkus of Holy Cross were both banished from the game on four personals.

Brisk and Sena
 Bowl Tomorrow

The Blue Ribbon bowling team will be at Bob Stones alleys to- morrow afternoon to lend moral support to Carl Frisk who will engage Sam Sena for 10 games as part of their home and home series of 20 games, in which total pinfall will decide.
 The second half of the match will be rolled at the Lucky Strike alleys in Willimantic. city which Is fast stepping ahead in bowling circles. The visiting pinster is showing a marked improvement over his last seasons record and Is hitting with the best of Hart ford's crack bowlers. Bowling fans will recall the memorable series that Carl Frisk rolled with Bill Tato during the progress of the na- tional tournament held at Genlots. when on three occasions the Hart ford bowler made triple strikes in the tenth box to win from the Chase company representative. He is fast getting back to that form and should at least make it inter- esting for our Sam.

THOMASTON PONIES
 TO CLOSE SEASON i
 AT HOME SUNDAY
'EittIe Horses" Billed in Return Game Against All.Naugatuck-RecOrd Crowd Expected
(SpeciaI to the Democratl

NORCLbaA UV Uhh[ A<OhhhO(kesSV
 Thomaston, Dec 6.-Football fans from all sections of the val ley will flock to the Plume and Atwood field here tomorrow after noon where the Thomaston Ponies, closing their 1891 season, are billed to oppose the All-Nauagtuck eleven in a return game. The tilt will start at ? o'clock and the follow ing officials have been engaged to handle the combat: Referee, Clyde Waters, Bristol; umpire, Dutch" Forst, Seymour; head linesman. Tracey Carey, Torrington.
 Perbick Injured.
 The Ponies went through a hard workout Thursday night and all members of the squad, numbering 22 with the exception of Leese Perbick will be prepared to answer the opening whistle. Perbick acci- dently wounded himself while hunting Thursday and will be lost to the local eleven for the final game.
 Naugatuck will bring a strong team to the local field, bent on handing the Ponies defeat for the second straight time this sea- son. The borough boys upset Thomaston, so last October, and the down valley aggregation is coming to the Clocktown with high intentions of repeating the feat.
 Locals Seek Revenge
 However, the Ponies are anxious ly awaiting the game in order to gain revenge for the defeat suf- fered in the initial combat. The probable starting Thomaston line- up will be: Ends, Smith and Bert angle; tackles, Bristol and Abra- ham; guards. J. Sarog and Kane; center, Concannon; quarterback, Shearer; halfbacks, M. Sarog and Novacowski; fullback, Innis.

NEW BRITAIN FANS
 CONTINUING DRIVE ON COACH CASSIDY
Want New Grid Coach Next Year = Principal Slade Defends Mentor Successors Are Men. toned

New Britain, Dec 5-- Agitation for the removal of Coach George M. Cassidy from active charge of athletic teams at the New Britain High school has reached the stage where a sword of Damocles" is being held over the heads of the school board if action Is not taken. Some of the. more conservative of the high school alumni body are in favor of waiting. They argue that many members of the board share the same point of view but others feel the board has taken the attitude of "let well enough alone" and alumni members are anxious to spur the board to great CT activity.
 Agree With SIadc.
 The principal reason advanced is not that Coach Cassidy has been a consistent loser or winner as coach. Many of the alumni mem bers, especially the older men. feel that victory or defeat is of minor importance. In this respect they agree with Principal Louis r. Slade who in a published statement spoke, strongly In favor of Coach Cassidy because of his moral 1n- fiuence over the boys in his charge.
 Vice Versa.
 Some of the New Britain fans who have the physical interests Of the boys at heart disagree with Principal Slade when he said the coach has the physical well being of the boys at heart. They point to the fact that he has kept the starting regulars in the lineup for the entire game regardless of how badly used up they might be while capable substitutes sit on the side lines until the last minute or two.
 Claim FavOritism.
 While some of the alumni critics express dissatisfaction with the fact that more boys do not have the necessary athletic training 10 place them in line for college scho- larships, others feel the high school athletics should not be con ducted for the personal gains or certain boys. Some of the prom inent physicians, lawyers and other professional men In this city say they owe their education to ath- letic training at the local high school.
 Nothing Tangible.
 Although complaints continue to pour into the school board, none of the critics wants his name used in connection with the drive. The board would like to have some thing tangible to work on, one member said. Criticisms given newspaper men always end with the statement: Don't quote me on this"
 Successors Mentioned.
 Those mentioned as successors to Coach Cassidy in the event that he does not have his contract re- newed next spring are Attorney David l.. Dunn who recently re- signed as coach of Vermont Uni versity; Line Coach William Dud- dack of Columbia University and Attorney Bernard Connolly. A large portion of the alumni body would like to have Bob Patterson as coach.

Considerable ''color'' has been injected into the circuit this
 season, in addition to a better division of playing strength. which assures some sizzling hoop contests throughout the coming Sunday af- ternoons between December and April. Tn the opinion of City amateur league officials, hoop fans will appreciate the new site of the weekly games, which has ample seating and lighting ar- engagements for, the complete en- joyment of the game.
 Kelley's Silent Men
 Two attractions of this years six team makup are the deaf and dumb players assembled by Harry Kelley. They will carry the col ors of the Sacred Heart Athletic club and frome advance reports will have a team in action cap- able of opposing the best in the circuit. Henry Darlington will return to playing uniform again with his brothers, Louis, Jack, and Teddy, while Mandy Green, the Thomaston sharpshooter will be an adopted brother for the season. Winslow, Belmay. the Neville brothers and De Mars will work with Harry Kelley for the east end club, whose leather-lunged cheer ing section will be out in full force to urge on their representatives.
 BrOOklyns Stronger.
 Skiddo Dumschott will present an even stronger lineup for the Brooklyn A. c. than won the title last season. In addition to John ny Dunn, Matty Sheehan, Joe Swa- sey, Yanol Carroll and Mike Hig- giston, there will be Tom Wagner. ex-Pennsylvania guard. Alex Mag zarella of last years Hopeville team and Billy Donahue of Valley Forge Military academy. Frankie Con roy has some familiar north end faces with his Thomas club com bine. but they showed 100 per cent in an early season game Q few weeks ago.
 Herb Colby. ripper and Bossy Ralph Santopietro. Tom my Jackson and Earl. Lewis will wear the classy new red and black uniforms this season, with the pos- sible addition of Harp. Dunn, who is ineligible for the hoop sport at Crosby this season, because of the 20-year age rule of the Connecti- cut Interscholastic Conference.
 From the Borough
 Naugatuck's stury Emeralds with Jay Daly at the helm in an executive capacity will show up for their game with the Hearts includ- ing Norman Johnson, Andy Daily, Joe Rozint, Ray Lodge. Stanley Poscavage, who is quite center, Ciewleski and Samborski ex-Nau- gatuck high court dependables.
 Admission to all games this sea- son will be 25 cents for adults. 10 cents for children under 12 years of age. Pat Moran's Washington Hills and the Darlington brother combine are booked for next Sum day afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. John Cluney will referee to-morrow's games.

Ex- Eagles To Battle
 Eagles At N. H. Arena
 With Jakie Forbes, Billy Bouch- CT and Gene Chouinard, former Eagles, returning to the Elm City for the first time as enemies plenty of fireworks is anticipated when the New Haven team and the Bronx Tigers meet on the ice at the New Haven Arena tomorrow night.
 For several seasons the three players mentioned were outstand- ing on the New Haven club and an interesting study of something or other will be provided when they skate out attired in the colors of the opposition.
 Tn baseball and other sports players can be transferred from one team to another and not think any more of 1t than they do of talk Ing a shower bath. But in hockey It's different. Perhaps this is caused by the game itself. which calls for more or less personal contact be- tween the players while the game Is in progress, such as body checks, trips, board slams, etc.
 When the Americans took over the New Haven club several years ago and the New Haven team of the year previous was transferred intact to Philadelphia there was al- ways a hot battle when the Ar rows played at the Arena. Bobby Roberts. Arrows goalie until last year, was just another net hinder while wearing a New Haven. uni- form, but in every game he played in New Haven against the new Eagles he was the greatest goalie in the world.
 In addition to the three players mentioned the Bronx team also tn- cludes In its lineup Ellis Pringle, husky defenseman who was used to teamup with "Yip" Radley for New Haven. When Pringle was in the Elm City he and "Yip" were fn- separable both on and off the ice. but if you want to sec an example of forgotten friendship take in the game tomorrow night and watch these two big hombres tangle.

Hard luck trailed the Hillies all night, minus the the leaders. Both Williams. Jackie guard and rhe loss Of Joe Pom ponio early in the second half on fouls proved a great loss to the losers.
