St. Patrick's B0zUling Notes

In glancing over the scores for this week I notice that the attend- ance for Wednesday night was 100 per cent. This is what we like to see boys, so keep it like that. Jack Delaney and Father Wirkus had q great night. Both men tied for high single with 138 apiece. Jack hit S73 and Father hit for 359. This is great bowling and 1t is no wonder you beat Ted Hardy's combine the best three out of three. Ed Fitzgerald and Dillon also had Food night for Father WirkMs, team.
 Ted Hardys team wins the big goose egg for this week. Boy, but this must go hard with Ted. Ted was the only man on his team to hit the 100 average for the night. Joe Coughlin started out we'll in his first game but ended with only 2S0 for score.
 Bart Buckley and Joe Bowen ran close race, Bart hit 250 and Joe 265, this is not the way you can win games. Let's see what you can do next week boys. Maybe you had too much turkey last week and that put you in bad condition.
 Francis FitzGerald's outfit took over the Loftus array 2 to 1. This is fine going Francis, it makes this league look. little different and Eddie and his gang had better spruce up. if they want to stay up there with the leaders. Jack Cor man had two 97 games and one 103. Ryan and Francis Coughlin had BOA and 301. Harry Ryan is getting back to his old stride again. We all wish you we'll Harry. Of course the Honorable Francis Fitz was in top shape as he always is and slammed them for 345.
 Tom Kearney is another man who has been in rut but he evidently came out of 1t by the looks of his score of S63. That's good work Tom. Little Francis Mitchell had bad night. What was the trouble Francis? Cy Dun. phy had BIO and Eddie LOftus had sos. Both of these boys have been going strong all season, so watch usChh HI the uSCruSC SOhuhAh' lt
 
 Oh! I almost forgot to mention that Eddie Coughlin's team also ran. They like the Hardy boys. are the soul possessors of the grand goose egg score for the evening. Well Eddie. you and Hardy can shake on the great night your teams had.
 
 Charley Keegan and his team came to life that's why COughlin's team received a goose egg. Eddie bOwlcd we'll for his team SC I'll lay on him, but Patsy Garvey and Ray Sheridan were very much out 'Oi form. GuildunOis had one had game and two good ones but his final count was 200, not enough 10 averaoe tAA

Driscoll, Keegan and Croce had fair games for Keegan's team. Brady was a little short on their team, he only hit 279, better luck next time.
 Bill Kellers clan suffered a 2 to i defeat at the hands of Jim Bar rctt'S boys. BareS had the best night for Keller's team, he hit 321. Good work Bares. keep at 1t. Bill Keller and his first game put him in bad for the night. You have to hit them i'm every game in order to come out on top. TOomey is n new man, so we will see what he does next week. He hit 275 for this week. I hope you show them up in your next game Toomcy. Jim Keefe nearly hit his 100 game this year with his last score of 99. Come on Jim, you can do it. Let's see big average next week.
 
 Russo scertainly has some tough breaks and last Wednesday wasn't any different. He hit for 263. You better get going Russo boy, so you will be out in front in the average column.
 Jim Barrett rolled his usual good game and came out on top with 3f7. Jim is steady bowler and his average will show you he never lets up.

 To Stage Comeback
 The 27-year-old former Card infielder, however, is now quite confident-and his physicians agree-that his physical condition will permit him getting back into the lineup again.
 I'm feeling fine just now, and the leg is coming along okay," Colbert told the United Press to- day.

 The former Cards ballplayer is still undergoing treatment for the leg wound. This, however, he ex- plained, should terminate about December. S~r

 "The wound, physicians have assured me, will leave no perma- nent handicap to my baseball ca reer," he said. They claim I'll be good as new and it won't be, long. certainly am anxious to get back in the game again."

AOHItCu fresS StdH OUfEcSpOAuSlaSD
 New York, Dec 9-(UP)-Hunk Anderson .-Aass been ,fireds and I'll run the risk of being. called un- diplomatic and say he should have been.s There will be no sob stories from this corner to the effect that thescollege fathers should not have expected him to fill the mighty Knute's shoes. and that he should be given one more chance.
 .. If this ssounds .coid-blooded that's all right, too. Business all Ways has, been 9 cold-blooded proposition, and football coaching, @Whether4at Long Island Veterinary or Notre Dame, is a business. Hunk was hired to coach a: winning team. ,t
 The record tells the story. His team was licked five times this year. It lost to such schools as Carnegie Tech and Navy. That's S not getting the maximum from the stuff at hand. Hunk himself would hardly deny that his Notre Dame squad had every physical advan- .tage over the men of Carnegie and ! lNaNsy.. ,-.$is Si2s78
 why, then, shouldn't he be fired? ? He didn't produce, did he? For example. 4. You advertise yourself as astaxidernist, so a party engages you to stuff an- elephant. If at the end of three years you had only the trunk and ones lear stuffed, wouldn't the party have perfect night to fire you andssge another stuffer? True, he might not be able Ito stuff any faster, but at least he fSnitIdvatf Inf any ql0lVar
 .st What l say of Hunk goes for all the other coaches who have failed. It's my opinion that Yale, if they hired Reggie Root for the same purpose Notre Dame did Anderson, have every right to kick him out. If Root was hired because he is a swell fellow and a good influence on young boys, then alright. But if he was engaged on his ability to send a. smooth. smart team out on the field-well did you see the Yales - against Army? Against Princeton 2Fss '.s@
 It's a great relief to, get tho Notre Dame coaching situation settled. It was getting so a fell low couldn't drop around the cor ner to get, his brass. knuckles sol- dered without being stopped by the elevator starter, the cigar store nnah, sthe cop on the corner, and theS old fellow who Speddles pis- taohio nuts across the street. for his opinion on what was wrong with Notre Dame, and was it true that David (Whataman) Hutton would succeed Jesse Harper and Professor Moley take Anderson's job.~s% ,
 S MoW if the d sitizemrg will abnt just what winegto serve with hamburg 3ers,2 and whether its Chateau PfYquein, 1914, or Hook, 1891, that goes with mashed potatoes, life will be worth living again.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-09

Tonight the Eli bulldog will be heard growing loudly during the annual old Yale Barn Party at Montclair, N. J., when some 300 Yale, alumni gather to honor the 1888 team. They honor the team every year, win. lose or draw"
 The Big Idea
 To remedy the topsy-turvy east ern situation, the campaign is to form an eastern intercollegiate football conference, similar to the midwest's Big Ten. It's understood alumni organizations of other eastern schools already have been sounded out favorably.
 As preliminary step, pro- posal will be offered tonight that Army's football team be stricken from the Yale schedule until the Cadets conform to the Eli stan dard of player eligibility.
 This proposal is to show the old grads of other schools that Yale means business in demanding that opponents meet then on an "cveH break" basis It is expected to stim- ulate organization of the confer ence.
 Tonight's proposal provides for an eastern Big Eight" including Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Columbia, Harvard. Prince ton and Yale. Navy might be add ed later.
 Concerning the new deal" at New Haven, the United Press learned authoratively that the Old Blues have been assured of a gen. era1 shake-up in the Yale football staff. Some of the well informed old grads expect Head Coach Reg gie Root to announce his resigna- tion tonight. He is to address the party. M
 Rumors
 It was reported in alumni circles that Malcolm Farmer, director or athletics at Yale, is considering se- curing Harry Kipke of Michigan: Lou Little of Columbia or Earl Blaik, an assistant army coach, as Roots successor. During Roots one-year regime, the Eli team lost it's four major games and won four minor ones.
 A prominent Yale alumnus told the United Press that an eastern conference was "an absolute neces- sity" to provide a fair and square basis for gridiron play.
 Mind you," he continued, were not trying to tell Army how to run. it's business, and we're not crying because Army beat us. That's their affair. but we think it's unfair to our football teams and to Yale 5 athletic reputation to have our elevens meet Army on the present basis. Alumni of other schools feel much the same way.

CHUCK KLEIN LACKS COLOR
 TO DRAW FANS
Friends Believe With Bal= lyhOO He Could Equal
 Ruth's Popularity
By WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Stan Correspondent

I-TCSS 9tdu
 Indianapolis. Ind. (UP)-Home town fans of Chuck Klein, Indian apolis baseball player sold recently to the Chicago Cubs by the Phila- delphia Nationals, believe he would succeed Babe Ruth as the major leagues greatest drawing card if he weren't so completely lacking in color.
 He refuses to ballyhoo himself, or be ballYhooed by anyone. He is the hardest ball player in the majors to interview.
 Many Honors During his six years in the majors, Klein has been batting champion, home run champion and most valuable" player in the na- tional league. ~AS
 He has 8 major league batting average of 1859, his poorest year being in 1881 when he hit .337 and his best year in 1880 when he batted 1886.
 Klein gives his best ta baseball, but there is nothing flashy in the way he proceeds. Off the field he is shy, areticent, aud of exemplary | habits. He never breaks training nor be- comes involved in any affair which would place him before the public eye.
 Few Hobbies
 He has no eccentricities. His hobbies during the off season con- sist of such prosaic sports as hunt ing. bowling and hiking. Klein lives with his widowed mother and an older brother in a modest, six room bungalow outside the city. The house is located on property which once was his fathers farm. It is where Klein has lived all his life.
 To illustrate how the slugging outfielder hates publicity of any sort, he left on a hunting trip as soon as his sale to the Cubs was announced so that he would not be bothered with newspaper interview CTS and photographers.

|ROCKNE RESUME OF HAYDEN IS
 NOW GOOD NEWS
Quiet Member of -Four
 HOrsemen" Has Done We'll Since 1923
By GEORGE KIRKsEY Limited Press Stan Correspondent

Chicago. Dec 9-(UP)-Knute Rockne's. opinion of Elmer Layden 10 years ago is important news to- day because Layden will be named head football coach at Notre Dame late this afternoon.
 In describing the -four horse- men" Rockne said: k Hayden was the quiet member of the quartet. He was the steady, reliable, conservative one. His ter- rife speed at fullback amazed me. He adopted a straight line drive that made him one of the most un- usual fullbacks in football.
 "He pierced a line through sheer speed--cutting it like a knife, al- though each man in the opposing line outweighed him by 20 pounds.
 "Layden was the quartet's de- fensiye star. His ability to inter- cept passes was uncanny. and it never had more value than in our Tournament of Roses game with Stanford on New Years day, 1925. Twice Stanford advanced to our 30 yard line. and tried a play they had used with great success on the coast, dangerous pass out to the flat zone. Each time they tried the pass Layden, jumping high in the arifi tipped and caught the ball and ran for. touchdowns, enabling us to win 27-1O."
 Made Good
 That's Rockne's estimate of Lay der as a football player with the 1923-24 -four horsemen." Since then Layden has played a year of professional football, coached year at Columbia college Dubuque, Ia). coached seven years at Du- quesne. obtained his law degree, and made a host of friends in the coaching game. He is 30, married, and has two children.
 Heartily (Hunk) Anderson, foot bal lcoach. who carried on bravely after Rockne's death. and Jesse c. Harper, athletic director, who worked hard to reproduce his deeds of the pre-Rockne regime, have confirmed their resignations.
 Anderson is lokoing for job, and Harper is going back to his ranch in Kansas, which he left to come to Notre Dame's aid in its hour of nede. Anderson may go into professional football, or move to an eastern school.
