men! Masters of bowling! AS we advance in years we really grow happier If we bowl intelligently as did Cornell. Increase of difficulties and responsibilities strengthens and enriches the ability to bowl as 1t has with Cornell. "Dachshund" Manzo, the most colorful man. about -the-league, is immaculate, restless and affluent in the fact that his team can be called the champs. Of all the thrills this great 63-year-old sports promoter has enjoyed, this copping the cham pionship of the 1940-41 Italian Recreation league is the greatest. "Manikin" Perrella aided admirably in the achievement and he gives the credit to his brother for having him drafted from Duke. "Ricksha" Palladino is so happy he'll bet his last years tie with Termine on who can eat the most at the banquet. "Piccolo" Starigo stands in his proudness by himself. Great giving Piccolo. Vigorous daily massaging stimulated Ash Can" Rocco's Se- baceous glands, thus giving him the power and precision to bowl his team to the top. Excellentel Ash Cam! Congratulations to Cornelll
 At this opportunity, President Jim Lombardi, Vice-President Johnny Lattanzeo and Secretary-Treasurer Johnny Perrella wish to thank all members of the league for their great. magnificent display of sports manship and grand cooperation in making this fifth year of our leagues existence the most success full of all. Thank you. Please do not forget that thsi Thursday night closes the competition of the league and as per the rules. election of vice-president and secretary are in order. Put in your appearance earlier than usual, if you please Adois.
