North End "" Chatter

rado. Hope to see you in action soon jim.
 It is rumored that dissention in the ranks of the TriangleS club is becoming rather serious. A certain player is causing the ball team to play ragged ball and to lose their everlasting confidence. Advice to this player is to retire before it is too late. A dissenter is not wanted in the ranks of up and coming squad. No harm meant, gentle men.
 The "Y" Varsity has been strengthened by the addition of Stan ValeSk and Sonny" Romeo. Rid ing on the crest of a game-win- ming streak, the Varsity has been receiving the full support of the "" fans.
 One reason for the ''Y" Varsity's fine showing to date is traced to the remarkable comeback of Bob Leece, towering center, who bears the brunt of the defense. Bob is playing a marvellous game of the back board and is the keyman to all playerds. (We are still waiting for the West Side boys to break down and play uS.)
 Glad to hear that Ralph Santo- pietro, former Y star has passed all state board exams and is the latest addition to the professional oficiat- ing ranks.
 Until later, good night and a Merry Christmas to all.

Junior Knights Bowling Notes

I asked Bill what his favorite sports were, he answered as follows: Chick, in summer I like to play baseball and swim, and in winter I like to play basketball" He is ex- ceptionally adapted to leadership. Can play basketball with the best of them, and as for ball playing you have to see Bill in action to appre- ciate him. Is considered to be the best pinocl1le player in the club. Bill Ross, the Junior Knights salute you. Take a bow, in fact take several of them.
 Gossip and news from the Junior Knights sport front.
 Pick "Bowp Game
 Eddie Fest deserves vote of thanks for his great work and ef- forts which have helped the club no end. Thank you, Eda |. Elmer White, Junior Knight man about town tells me that after one work out on the basketball court he is all in. Can't you take it White? . '. |. Winnie Dillane is quite guard, be- heve me. Win certainly shows us all up at practice. .. John Brennan who sorely missed at the basket ball practice, because of hs great knowledge of the game, informs me that the Junior Knights with a lttle more practice should be great team. You've got something then Here's how the Knights figure the Rose Bowl classic: Southern California ', Duke 0. =. Favorte football player n poll taken among the members was none other than little Davey OBrien of T. c. U. All the Junior Knights are enthused over the announcement that Louis Com isky has offered Monty Stratton a lifetime job with the Sox. Strat- tons a great favorite among all the boys, and we are glad he got the break he truly deserved. It's a great world we live in.
 AS these long nights pass along, there are many disappointed young men in the Junior Knights. The reason? All the fellows have their tubulars sharpened and no ice skat- ing. We hope that Ole Jupe Pluvius will really bean down and spread ice over the city ponds. Winnie Dill lane says that when there is skat- ing, he's out to prove to all members that he's champion of the club in skating, bar none. Well, well, we'll have to see, Winnie.
 Until next week, SO long.

By Joseph (Chick) Kramer
Hello, everyone,

Hello, everyone.
 If anyone ever saw an enthusias- tic gathering, I'm sure that they would have acclaimed the Junior Knights as such when Monday eve- ming rolls around. The reason for all this gaiety is the fact that Mon- day evening is gym night. During the last two weeks all the boys have had grand fun practicing, and soon the Knights felt that they would be ready to take on opponents. So watch this column for challenges. Among the members who showed up exceptionally well at the practice were Dan Rizzolo, Win Dillane, and Eddie Fest. Bill Ross did a grand job of taking over the last practice, and here's hoping that in the future Bill keeps us as fascinated with his knowledge of the game as we are now. See you Monday, fellows.
 A rather popular form of recrea- tion among the members is bowling. Every Sunday afternoon the club is deserted, and all the members are of bowling. According to the infor- nation I have received Eddie Err richett Is the best pin toppler among the Junior Knights, and that every Sunday Eddie takes on one oppo- nent after another and takes them all. Henry Guerrero and Richie Nave it seems are unseparable as a bowling twosome, and Richie tells me that if Henry ever hits hun- dred not only Richie but Henry as well will be the most surprised lad in town. Now, now, is Hen as bad as all that? I wonder.
 Howdy, Bill!
 Here is this weeks personality Bill Ross.
 Bill stands about feet Il inches. Is very popular with all the fellows and really is a great guy to know. During the baseball season Bill coached the Junior Knights. With Bill at the helm the Knights were going places, but when circum- stances prevented him from finish ing out the season the Knights lacked the spark which they had when Bill was coach, and they rap- idly nose dived into a slump of which they never came out.
