W|LBY WILL Be
CHOICE TO WIN
COMING GAME
Game at Hamilton Park
Looms Interesting From
Many Angles

Anxious TO wind up It's first foot
ball season with at least one victory,
players and coaches at Leaven-
worth high school were leaving Moth
ing undone this week TO At the team
for It's last chance on the gridiron,
scheduled for Saturday afternoon
when the Tech Tigers clash with the
wildly Wildcats at Hamilton Park
gridiron. Therefore, hard practice
which began yesterday and will con-
tinue until Friday afternoon Is the
orders OF the days for both outfits.
While there Is not great deal to
choose In relative ability between
the two teams, Wilby's record Is u
little more impressive and In Grove,
and Devino has a pair Of backs that
have done remarkably we'll for the
past two weeks. At Leavenworth, In
juries In the Southington game have
shaken UP the team somewhat, while
Hill and Slocum are not sure OF
starting assignments from Coach
Jake Reiger, Steinmet2, Murphy,
Rotella all scheduled for action while
Kirshner will not be eligible for
the game, hi stackle position to be
played by Venturena, Stankus and
LaF'rance.
Wildly Starters
It Is highly probable that Coach
Reiger and his aides will not select
the starting lineup for LeavenWorth
before Thursday, though Coach Jim
Lee at Wildly Is reasonably certain
that the following will take the field
for Wildly at the first whistle; Hawk
ms and Hamel, ends; Barnes and
Yesinsky, tackles: DeSantis and
Malario, guards; Lasky, center; Run
divge, quarterback; Grove and De-
vino, halfbacks; Fahy, fullback. Of
flcials for the game Will include: Ed
die Hart, referee: Henry Darlington,
umpire; and DR.. B. A. O'Hara, lines
man.
Though the wildly record Is not too
impressive this year, definite Inn
provement has been noted between
the Weaver and Commercial games,
for though Wildly lost both tussles,
the local lads were every bit as good
as Commercial through the major
stages Of the game, and had beaten
Weaver, who stopped Wildly by a
large count. Yet, the Wildly coach
feels that his squad cannc5 afford TO
let down even u little against Leav-
enworth which will be fighting hard
for It's first win OF the season.
Following the Leavenworth game,
preparations for Wilby's major head
ache the annual Thanksgiving Day
tanglc with Crosby will begin, with
the Crosby club odds-on favorites To
win this season, a. Wildly has but one
veteran player from last years squad

Pinehurst, N. g., November II. -
CUP 49, It was six In the evening
at Pinehurst, and the first day Of
firing In the p. @. A. tournament
had been over for an hour.
The locker room was deserted.
So was the caddy house. For the
players had gone to the big hotel OF,

Out on the course 1t was SO dark
that visibility was limited to the
distance Of q mashie pitch, and q
chill wind whistled through the trees
along the fairway. It was time for
golfers and spectators alike to put
warm drink or warm food under
their belts.
But out on the course, fnuffled IN
sweaters, defying the cold and the
dark, was q competitor In the
p. q. A. tournament. I heard the
"click" Of q wood against a ball and,
curious to know what ambitious
youngster was still working on his
shots, I walked out to the practice
tee. He was 80 absorbed IN his
shots that he didn't even turf,
