Danbury, Dec. 2-The state cham pion Catholic club Cyclones of Dan- bury will open their 1938-39 season Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. o. c. gymnasium in Danbury with Sev- eral appropriate attractions, fore most of which will be Mayor Martin J. Cunningham handling the open ing tossup.
 The Cyclones whose record of but 1 defeat against state competition last season earned them the claim to the mythical Nutmeg hoop title will put a team on the floor this season which is expected to far surpass last seasons aggregation.

 Charles T. Musson, Jr., has been chosen as booking agent and direc- tor, and all local clubs wishing to contact the Cykes management for contests may do so through him.

BY JOSEPH (CH1cK) KARMER

Following very hectic and sensa- tional meeting in which very import ant business was discussed, the fel- lows started to talk about football, and here, dear readers, is where Win Dillane stepped in and really went to town. Win kept the boys entertained by aswering all ques- tions asked him by the fellows. Win certainly does know his football, and if you don't think I'm right, ask the Junior Knights. Why, Vim, you are amazing at times.
 It was cold, dark night. The members were scattered about the club. Some were playing cards, some were chickens, others were huddled around the stove, and still others listened to the radio which was playing soft, haunting music. The club was strangely silent. Suddenly the music stopped, there was a slight pause, and then came the clear voice of the announcer"We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin-Dallis, Texas-"Physicians tonight found it necessary to ampu- tate the leg of Monty Stratton, end- ing great baseball career" There was a lot of huzz buzz in the club for few seconds, then all was si- lent again. Yes, a great baseball ca- reer was ended due to the misfor- tune, accident, which just goes to show you, me, or anyone that any, thing can and usually does happen in this world of ours. Fate stepped in, and Monty Stratton stepped out a truly tragic figure. Such is life.
 All around the town with your reporter, and finally catching some information about the Junior Knights.
 Well, we were amazed at the ease in which Wilby ran roughshod over Crosby. When it come to announc- ing fights, and announcing them with pep, vigor, and what not, the Knights seem to agree as a unit that the combination of Sam Taub and Bill Stern is very hard to beat John Zuello, who by the way is great pal of the one and only Taffy Cartocetti, is one member who is really a member. John is down al- most every night, attends all meet

ings, and does all things that make him a valuable member. Willie Kramer is laying claim to the chick en crown of the club and rightly SO. It seems no one can beat him at the game so-Mike Ritucci always gets a laugh with this remark: Who cant play football and why cant IT,. Richie Nave, treasurer of the Knights, is secretly training down the "Y". for something or other, well! well! Aside to John Bunnan and Richie Nave: Please stop keeping us in suspense and let us know whether or not you've got the permit for the gym, for after all, we're not mind readers.
 John Bunnan who is rarely seen, and believe it or not, rarely heard was down to the club the other night in one of his rare appear .ances. As I've told you before John plays with quite a few teams, and is quite basketball player. Well, we had John cornered the other night and asked him what he thought of the Corsairs' chances as a basketball team were this year. John told us that Charlie Gerace and all the others on the team were confident of successful sea- son, and maybe go undefeated. As things turned out the Corsairs won the first game and John was beam- ing. He told us that was the begin- ming. The next game the Corsairs were to play the Owl A. C., a team which we nor they ever heard of. John thought the game wa sa clnch. Final score-Owl A.C. 20- Corsairs 15, which goes to show you that over confidence sometimes is not so good, yes, indeed. hone John will forgive me, but this sting was too good to left out of the column.
 During the past week some of the Knights led by Dan Rizzolo went tobogganing. and from what my secret source tells me much fun was had by all. The place for all this great fun was the Waterbury Coun- try club. It seems that most of the boys got a little more than they reckoned for. Mike Ritucci was al- most like snow man after a few rides. his eyes watering as was Win Diliane who wore rubbers and whose rect were wet especially after land- ing In a brook. Oh, yes, the boys had grand time, and they hope to go again in the near future, but take 1t from Win, next time he's wearing boots.
 Puzzling thought: Why were all the older fellows in the club so mad the night before ThanksgiyingP I'm just wondering!
 Until next week I'll be back with more news, this is Chick Kramer saying so long, and keep us in mind.
