The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-29

At the Waterbury Boys Club last night a series of 8 games were staged under the indirect super vision of William Johnson, director of the local club. In the first .iit of the evening the 9partans won by a runaway" over Bill's Five by q score of Se-e. Tn the next tilt the Brass City Bombers and the Boys Club Alumni were brought together in a very close game with Q veteran Felix Longo leading the team to yc- tory. Now let's 60 back to Felix Lon- go's basketball career. According 70 reliable sources Felix was Q very good basketball player even In his earlier days when he was captain of the Boys Club Midgets.
 This was about 30 years ago when the sport of baSketblal was still young. And even now this player seems to mo, to be very fine play CT. Tn the tlsird and main tilt of the evening the Gents and the Warriors, this was the most exciting game Of the evening. in this game Damillio of the Warriors provided many Q thrill ending Up with 12 baskets. But this was gained only by the support of Al and Tony Iannaccone who made apiece. But the Gents had very good players in Kennedy with baskets and Wrenn and Lombardi tied with 3 apiece. I think that the Warriors were Q well organized team and will go very far If they keep 1t up. The final score was Warriors 7i, Gents 2S.

Coast Artillery and Anti- Aircraft Teams May Meet
 at Yale Bowl

Fort Terry. N. Y., Nov, 2s,-with- In 2A hours, 1t will be known whether the 249d Coast Artillery and the 2oeth AntI-Aircraft regiment, two Connecticut military units in training at Fort Terry, New York and Camp Edwards, Massachusetts, respectively, will meet for the New England army championship at the Yale Bowl on Saturday, December 6, i:4B p. m.
 Regardless of whether the bowl is secured for the contest, 1t Is defi- nite that the game will be played in Connecticut, probably In New Ha- ven, and that tho two strong Serv- Ice eievens will have many thou sands of Connecticut people on hand for the contest.
 Playing the outstanding seml-pro teams ia Connecticut, the 242d bowled over oil opposition and suf- feTed only one loss all Season.--to the pittS41eld (MaSg) Golden Bears. Included among its victims were the Stratford Rams, Fairfield Tigers, Wallingford WGlcoS and Meriden MarconS.
 AS @ climax, the Bridgeport -strat- fore-Mllford regiment, augmented with selective service soldiers from i23 of Connecticut's i69 towns trl- unphed over the 366th Infantry, winner of the Fort Devens tourna- ment, to win the right to meet the 203th in the finals.
 The victories of the two crack Connecticut teams hi their respes. tive divisions makes next Saturdays gamo q natural" and while several cities have already tentatively bid for tho game. it is the desire of the commanding officers Of both units to have the game played in Con. necacut, for tho benefit of pAr- eIits, relatives and friends Of mem bers of both organiSa tions,
 Awaiting Word
 As this iS written, negotiations are still going on between offlcialS of the two service regiments and Yaie University athletic officials. It is hoped that Q decision can be reach- ed this weekend in order to give ample time to make arrangements for the housing of the game in the bowl and, in case it Is impossible to play the game there, to make use 0f AHAkhAF AAid Ap aik1y
 Should the game be played in New Haven, more than 2B0G soldiers from the 242d md 208th will be In town for the game, together with two crack military bands. It K be. lieved that more than 26O00 Con. neetieut persons would want to see the game at Q nominal admission fec
 Both clubs boast the services of former college, amateur, profeS. sional and high school stars and they are fairly evenly matched in the experience, although the 20eth has a considerably heavier team.
 Captain John w. Mead, former Warren Harding high eehool mem tor is coaching the 242d and has done Q marvellous job of condition. ng his 45 players.
 1ncidently, the city Of Boston bid strongly for the game . week ago, but military minded persons chose New Haven aS c central Connecti- cut city, and all indications point to the games being played there.

 Vote For Blocker
 In sending his choices for bte Unit. cd Press All-Anerlcafl, Jack Ledden sports editor Of the South BenC Tribune enclogeS this sensible notC regarding choices: A blocking back is going to get the nod at one Spot ir this Setup instead Of the usual custom of putting four threats in q backfield, none of whom can block his way out Of c candy bar wrappsr,' Ledden is dead right. Funny as 4 sounds, the average eil-Americar baCkheid wouldn't travel very far li game. You have to have somebody to bowl over the tacklers before the star can get going. Ask Tom liar. mon how he would have done I Evashevski hadn't been around tc clear the way. h
 The line that Bill Klem drsw with his foot in the dust at Ebbets fielc during the crucial August series bs- tween the Dodgers and Cardinals was the last he ever will draw. Foi years he has used his line drawing as means of stopping an argument with a player. His technique was tc turn away from the player, walh about 10 feet and draw a line on the ground. If the player followed hin and crossed the line, he was auto- matically out of the game. Manager Leo Durccher of the Dodgers was the last player to have the line drawn on him. Klem will retire from active service on the diamond now and devote all his time to supervis- ing the national league umpires.
 Good Stock?
 Here's hoping Frank Kovacs re- members to continue his screubal antics when he starts on his profes. sional tennis tour with Bobby Riggs and the others. United States Lawn tennis officials have been drowning for years on Kovac's eccentric ways on the courts, but there are not many better shows in sports than the young man biting a tennis ball in disgust after missing a shot.

Minnesota's Bruce Smith Awarded Heisman Trophy
BY WILLIAM TUCKER United Press staff Correspondent

New York, November 2s-tUP)- Not only are the Minnesota Golden 0ophers the mythical champions ot U. s. college football but they have the years outstanding individual performer in Captain Bruce Smith, winner Of the Heisrnan Memorial trophy.
 smith, who ended hIs college career last week by conducting four touchdown marches In the Goph- ers' rout of Wisconsin, was named for the award in countrywide poll of sports writers and announc- CTS made by the Downtown Ath. letic Club of New York.
 Although Smith boiled 554 votes to 346 for Angelo Bertelli of Notre Dame, his nearest rival, the vote was the closest in the seven-year history of the award. Usually such players as Jay Berwanger of Chi cago, the first winner, and Tom Harmon of Michigan, last years honoree, have landed an absolute majority of the votes but this sea- son there were stars in every sec- ton.
 Other FavOrites
 Behind Smith and Bertelli were Prank Albert of Stanford (336) Frank Sinkwich of Georgia (249) Bill Dudley of Virginia (237), En- dicott Peabody of Harvard (l53), Edgar Especial Delivery) Jones of Pittsburgh d5D, Bob Westfall of Michigan CAD, Steve Lach of Duke l26) and Jack Grain of Texas (102).
 Peabody. Harvard guard, boiled more votes than any nneman thus far in the elections excepting Larry Kelley, Yale end who was voted most outstanding several seasons ago.
 Smith will receive the Heismap trophy Dec. at ceremonies at- tended by his coach, Bernie Bier man, and other athletic notab4es.

Cross Examined
By EaRard KnhImann

Lutheran Book Concern, Columbus,
Ohio. S5c. Eight sermons that cross
examine life in the light of Call
vary's Cross. Characters associat-
ed with the passion of our Lord are
put on the witness stand. That
man needs the Saviour is the ver-
dict of the book. That Christ is
even now on trial is its theme.
Doubts hang in the low valleys
where men live only by sight
where mind is made the measure of
things. But Calvary is hilltop,
and If you will climb to it with a
prayer on your lips and faith in
your heart, God will drive the
mists of doubt away"
Stripped TO its barest essentials,
being a Christian means being able
to say with Peter, Lord, Thou
knowest all things; Thou knowest
that love Thee" % Although
the fight of unbelief against faith
has always been hottest at the foot
Of the Cross, all the ablest attacks
Of the centuries have not been able
10 dim its glory. The Cross still
stands towering DER the wrecks of
.ime' and millions of embarrassed
souls continue to find it the one
,afe and satisfying refuge"

ed out. Handling and delivery
from distributing points to stores
took 6.7 cents; wages, rent, adver-
tising, taxes and other buying and
retail expenses took 1876 cents,
and damage and spoilage 3.4 cents.
The smallest item, IL cents, was
APPS net profit.
Further development of modern
advertising and promotion meth
DDS was credited with being a
contributing factor in increasing
the company's distribution eff
cheney and broadening growers
markets.
Hartford said the increased re-
turns to growers and shippers
noted in the report marked con-
tinuance of a trend toward more
efficient distribution of fresh fruits
and vegetables which began 16
years ago with the formation of
the Atlantic Commission Company,
A&P buying affiliate.
Other developments credited in
the report with helping increase
returns to producers were:
Improved grading and packaging
practices made possible by close
cooperation Of grower and shipper
groups; elimination of costly in
between expenses caused by pass
ing food through congested ter
minal markets and through the
hands of numerous trade inter-
mediaries; increased use of the
method of delivering from pro-
ducing areas to railroad and truck
unload yards and from there direct
to retail stores, and the practice of
moving produce direct from pro-
ducing areas to retail stores wher-
ever possible.
Ever since the formation of this
national merchandising organiza-
tion," Hartford said in conclusion,
lit has been one of our major aims |
to increase the return to agricul-
tural producers, while bringing |
fine foods within the reach of an
number of American
families. Much of our effort has
been directed toward devising ways
and means to achieve this end. We
feel that our efforts are in line
with the established policies and
aims of agriculture, as expressed
by farm leaders in both producing
fields and in state and national
We are happy to
know that we have been able to

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NutritiOnist for the State Board of Health
"WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR
IN DELAWARE"

Delaware families and school.
which receive surplus commodities
will soon be receiving whole wheat
flour. A shipment is expected to
arrive in Wilmington sometime
about March 18th, and it will be
sent to the Kent and Sussex Coun-
ty warehouses for distribution.
Whole wheat -four is richer in
iron and in vitamin B1 than is
white flour. Both of these essen
tial nutrients are likely to be low
in Delaware diets, so that from a
health point of view, we are for
tunate to get this shipment. Most
teachers and most mothers under
stand the superior value of whole
wheat flour. Persons who use
whole wheat -four over a period of
time come to prefer its distinctive
favor to that of the less flavorful
white flour.
Rural school teachers tell me
that they expect to have little diff
Guilty in using whole wheat -four
for school lunches. 1t may be that
school children who have become
accustomed to dark bread at school
will persuade their families to use
1t at home.
In the U. S! Department of Agri-
culture booklet School Lunches
Using Farm Surpluses" there are
several recipes using whole wheat
flour. l have extra copies of this
booklet and / will be glad to give
them to any teachers who will
write me for them. The following
recipe for whole wheat cookies
from page 3S of this booklet will
probably be popular with homes
and schools alike.
