They are unnecessary even
though they are in the interest
of safety. It's ridiculous, how
ever, to ban parking for so feet
at some intersections, because
IS feet would be safe enough.
Streets cluttered up with cars
cruising about trying to find
parking spaces is more danger
GUS than allowing people to park
where there is space to do so in
safety"

The Junior Knights held their most hectic meeting since its dura- tion during the past week, and much was accomplished. Win Dill lane, who was in charge of the meeting, read and explained the constitution to all the members, and was aided nobly by Ed Fest and Bill Ross. I might add that the Junior Knights are going places - and in hurry.
 If you remember correctly, last week I stated in this column that the boys, for one or two nights, wanted to get away from the club, but with all the members included in whatever was planned for those evenings. Well, I suggested 8 bowl ing league, and at the meeting I am happy to report this suggestion was worked on. However, after a heated discussion Ed Fest hit upon an idea which satisfied everyone. Ed suggested that we have 8 gym night, one might week and that all members could participate in the fun of playing basketball. Very good, Ed, very good. Further details will be discussed at this weeks meet ing, so fellows forget all your other dates and be at this weeks meeting.
 Here, there, and everywhere with your Junior Knights Sports Reporter.

Waterbury Hockey Club to Defend Title = Entry
 DeadIine December }

Nothing but long lack of that hard stuff one throws into ginger ale-Gce, to you) will prevent the Waterbury Amaeur Ice Hockey league from getting off to flying start with a strong eight team league and a busy schedule for the 1938-39 season. Last night most of last seasons teams were repre- sented at meeting, where Joe (Brassco) Brennan was again elect ed to the presidency of the loop, to be aided by Johnny Sherwood as V. F., and John (Mexicali Rose) Thompson as secretary and treasurer, who will now be able to make out an order for skates and sign the check to pay for them all in the same motion. (Palmer method preferreO.
 Ready to Go
 Art Dunn will again be on deck to direct the defense of the league championship by his Waterbury Hockey club, while teams from Mid- dlebury, Naugatuck, Torirngton and Thomaston are also licted besidse the Waterville Overlooks, the 20th Century club and a Bunker Hill team. Naugatuck's team is tagged Blackhawks Chicago writers please copy). Two local rinks at East wood and Fulton park will be used, while Middlebury has its own rink and one may be built in Naugatuck. St. Ann's Flying Frenchmen are conspicuous by their absence in the league lineup this year.
 A $10 entry fee has been set for each team with the "sawbuck" to be in the hands of Treasurer Thompson on or before December 3 or else. A. A. U. ice hockey rules will prevail with President Brennan strictly enforcing them as referee. Given early ice that can be skated on, the league looks like humdinger from start to .;1I,

Junior Knights Sportfolio

John Brennan is very much in
 demand as 8 basketball player.
 John, besides intending to play
 with the Knights, also plays with
 the CorSairS. Charlie Gerace,
 genial writer for the Corsairs
 tells me that the Corsairs Jun-
 iorS have flashy new uniforms
 for the coming season. Suc-
 cess, Charlie. =. Win Dillane,
 according to rumors is secretly
 trying to learn how to improve
 his bowling so as to take over
 any member in the club. So
 you've been holding out on us,
 eh, Win? Taffy Cartoceti, who is
 a stalwart Leavenworth fan
 smirks that Leavenworth will
 surprise Wilby this coming Sat-
 urday. Do you mean they will
 score 8 point, Taffy? Being 8
 Wilbyite, I'll go out on the
 limb and pick Wilby by three
 or more touchdowns wanna
 bet, Taffy? Hen Guerrero, who
 is great sports enthusiast,
 persists that Notre Dame is the
 top Gridiron team in the coun-
 try today. If anyone thinks
 they can play pinochle, sug-
 gest that they watch Bill Ross in
 action. Is he wizard, or is he?
 How about it, fellows? Vest,
 that's what I thought.
 Due to the increase in member in the Junior Knights Ranks I fee that I should resume an old featur in this column. The feature is tn personality of the week." and IT start right off with the first per sonality of the week in a new series This weeks personality is the pres. dent of the Junior Knights, Danny Rizzolo.
 Danny stands about five feet 'en inches and is very well built Danny, upon entering the Knights 'oon became very popular and gained he immediate confidence of al he members. Danny is quite ar lthlete and excels in baseball, bas- letbau, and swimming. In my book 1e is tops as a sports = a gooc winner and good loser. He is lulte a pinochle player and believe ne certainly knows every angle oi he game. Dan keeps the boys ir stitches with his jokes, and how he ;an tell them. So the Junior Knights are proud to have you as g member, Dan Rizzolo.
 Being press agent of the Junior Knights. feel it is my duty to pub. lcize and give all the members ol he Knights a break, and not te them. I will not mention names, but certain members have old me that certain officers of the Knights are neglecting their duties low mind you, I said some and that mlesS they show improvement we will elect new officers to take theil places. However, I can't see how any officer elected con willfully neglect his duty, but you can never ell or can you?
 Mike Ritucci, Ed Errichetti, Taffy cartoceti, Rudy Folio, and all the est of the Junior Knights car hardly wait until Old Man Winter figs in and spreads his ice all ovel he city ponds so that they can gel put the old skates and really go tc own on the ice. Right now, I con- ;ider Mike the champion of the lot 'f skaters among the Knights, anc lean see Win Dillane's eyes glance It me and say, "Oh, yeah, what about me?" Well, Win, youn cant prove it by me until you show Mike ID on the ice. If Wins still reading I'm only kidding, or am I?
 Until next week this is Chick Kra- ner saying, so long and keep read ng.

St. Thomas H. N.
 Pin Splinters

The cold weather seemed to put plenty of pep in the boys Monday night and everyone had at least one or two good strings during the eve- ning-the pins, too, spun around and fell down at the least disturb ance.
 Jimmy Od1cer's team ran wild in the first string and threatened to knock off Ed Fitzgerald's team for high game with 556, losing out by only two pins.
 George Bolan was in unusual form last night copping high single with 140 and high three with $50.
 Jimmy McManamy, Ray German, and Freddy Rappelt pulled of some wonderful two pin spares, sliding over the pins from one corner to the other.
 Danny Perrin, George Miller, Jack Casey and Tom Foley were going on high and turned in nice scores. Clarence Hamilton is a good lead off man, but he couldn't get started Monday night.
 Father Cu1liton was going along nicely for his first two strings until Charley "One Ball" Keeley be- gan raging him with the result he ended up with IT.
 Dan Hickey and Sam Smith start ed of with a fine first string, but eased of in the last two strings.
 Russ Dow'S curve ball didn't click at all with the result Russ hit for only 269.
 Father Donnelly was of from the first two games, but hit his stride in the last game for 101.
 The Grout brothers had only few pins difference for the three games: Jimmy winning out over Jack by five pins.
 Bubsy McHale, Bill Brennan, John Smith-all hit over 300.
 George Miller had three good strings but not good enough to beat George Bolan'S $50.
 Paul Cronin'S team looks good on paper but doesn't seem to knock over the pins-Paul says we're not worrying-the seasons young yet. John Smith hit for an even 3OO- keep up the good work, John.
