Grand Recreation
 Bowling Notes

The league members were stunned when they received word that their stellar bowler Joe Paternoster re- ceived such serious injury that he will be unable to bowl again. Joe Pat as he was known to all the bowlers was leading the league in averages, nothing new with the great Joe who knew only one thing and that was to try for every pin and help his team win. No mat ter how poor his teammates bowl ing might be, he never came in for any criticism, all the time it was a pat on the back from Joe and words of encouragement, just keep pinning and we will win. Joe liked to win like the rest of us but only on merit, never unfair ly. All the bowlers in the league wanted to bowl on Joe's team for just this reason. This column for years has been devoted to kidding and different bowlers in the league who always took our remarks in the spirit for which they were intend- ed and the boys were always good sports and enjoyed the kidding but this week it just has to be differ ent because there is a sad bunch of fellows bowling this week. Joe has been a mainstay for a good many years and we doht recall night that he wasn't on deck, rain or shine, snow or sleet. Win or lose he went home smiling and his spirit to win the next time out was always with him. He man. aged to keep his team on the top of the pack all three years and modest Joe refused to take credit
 for his part which consisted of some very consistent bowling. The writer has had the pleasure of bowl ing on different teams with Joe for the past 20 years and always well comed his presence because he knew that no matter how tough the breaks he would be in there plug ging for every pin and saying words of encouragement. Back years ago when we members of the Old Night Hawks, team of bowlers who took on all corners the writer remem- bers the opponents saying that this great combination could never be beaten unless Joe Pat stayed home and this he refused to do. His motto was to pin out and the results will be to your liking. The Recreation league bOwlers join the writer in saying to Joe, pin out and any time
 any where we are ready to do as you say, no better fellow, no bet- ter bowler, no better teammate has
 ever bowled on any team anywhere. We are roofing for you Joe. Just keep your chin up and pin out.

Boston College Say On A6Le Quarterback, Long ODerdu
NAUACTUCK IS
 SLIGHT CHOICE
 OVER CROSBY ii
Visitors Have Better ReC- ord Than Local Array;
 Kickoff 2:I5 P. M.

Naugatuck high schools football team invades Waterbury tomorrow to face Crosby in renewal of one of the oldest scholastic football se- ries of the state. The kickoff is scheduled for 2:15 p. m. at the Mu- nicipal Stadium, and it will be the sixth game of the season for both teams.
 The borough Greyhounds will be the choice over Crosby, since they have won four out of five games to date, losing only to Wilby in its third game. The Blue record Is not very impressive with only victories over Leavenworth and Central in their last two starts, coupled with a pair of setbacks at the hands of Anso- mia and Torrington and the tie with Norwalk.
 Coach Bill Schofield's team has been hampered extensively by in- juries. The loss of "Bingo" Drumm has slowed the Blue no end and doubtful whether he will play at all this season. Two sophomore full- backs, Nichols and Phelan, have been coming aloing but are not quite the calibre of the hard-running con- verted end. The other chief casual ty on the team is Tony Lombard whose hand was fractured in the Central game, but Coach Schofield expects the stellar left halfback to be set for Saturdays tilt.
 The rest of the backfield will be Hummel at the blocking post; Mo- Sherry at left half; D'Augustino, right halfback, and either Nichols or Phelan at the bucking position. On hand to spell these players will be Drapatin and Rosa at quarter, both converted guards, and Bender and Hornbecker at halfback. The line will have Basil Kyros and Hank Fa- sanelli at the wings; Negreira and Tiny Shembriskis, tackles; guards Dan Cruess and Bill O'Neill; and at the pivot post will be Carm Ciar- lelli.
 Coach Pete Foley's squad will be inexperienced only as far as the line goes as he has fine set of veteran backs in Mariana, Massa, Burke, Costa and Fogarty. The latter, al- though substitute, has shown well in the past couple of games, and may be counted on to spark the Greyhounds to victory.
 Next week, Crosby will be host to the fast-stepping West Haven grid- sters and then will have a layoff of week in preparation for the Wilby game to be played the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 9.

 As the saying goes as Caputo goes so does Father McVerry, an off-and -on combination of the New Dealers. By looking over Wednes- days sheets we find that Caputo hit 85 in the first game and Father McVerry's 99, in the second con- test, Father McVerrytallied 89 and Caputo 96, and in the final Caputo winds up with 89 and Father Mo- Very with 87. .. But when this couple shake of a few bad games, there will he no stopping to theiI strikes and spares.
 Please take notice league mem- bers Bowling starts promptly at 2 o'clock, not 7:l5 or 7:S0. Last week one player was in the lineup for the TrailerS, the others walking in late. Action will be taken on forfeits if this continues.
 Talk has been heard to a pre- Christmas party by the league bowl CTS sometime in December. Will someone volunteer as a committee of one in making arrangements?
 The Spider" was the recipient Of communication from Goldie Gior- dano, postmarked Oct. 27, in regards to some information to substitution. Following is the answer to Goldie: The captain may replace any of his players by another qualified member of his team. provided the member removed from the game has has not made either a strike or a spare in the frame last bowled by him, but no substitution can be made for any player in either the ninth or tenth frames. .. A player cannot be again played in the same game from which he was removed, and the credit for such game shall be entered in the official record as belonging to the player that stares the game.

In The Web With The St. Lucy Bowlers

and a chance of overshadowing the score of 152, that is high single.
 Lombardi succeeded in his boiler room tactics as the Spider" looked over the score sheets at the conclu- sion of play. "Lumpy" with smile predominating his countenance, threw himself into his camel" and again calmly walked out of the al- leys, pocketing his high score for at least another week.
 Oh, yes '. before we forget :. "Lumpy" bowled mere 288 score for three games you see :. he was helping out the boys bowl" on the other alleys z. Lonbardi, to you outsiders, is a double for George Raft .- but he displays "cheaters" and toutS along rabbit foot Good work, Lombardi, nevertheless, you're the life of the alleys.
 Mike Ciarlegllo, the fourth" of Spiggie's Senators, has a throwing arm that has the velocity of any Twentieth Century vehicle. The Spider" recommends Mike, who was known as Mickey Carr in fight ing circles years back, to use either a four -or-five step delivery because such deliveries represent approaches in which the body, with the aid of correct timing, does its part in throwing the ball. If Mike con- sumeS this "tip" we will see Lom- bardie's mark shattered frequently.
 This year, as we have mentioned before, has favored Mazzalupo's Senators with string of fine pin sters. He has in leadoff good man. in Bill Nardozzi, making his initial debut in competitive basis. Santagatta and Ciarleglio are also new material on the team. Louis Russo is the only caStoff from Spig- gie's l940 lineup. With such a powerful array of bowlers, it looks to date. we find the Senators tiirt- ing with the top berth.
 
 Joe Gaggiano. a new man acquir- ed by the Scouts this season. is not up to his i940 bowling. We find that Joe attributes his good pinning last year because he followed Mike Caputo and Father Michael Mo- Verry in the lineup. .. Maybe you would like an unconditional release, eh Joe.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-31

For the second consecutive week Spiggie Mazzalupo's Senators fell short of one pin in gaining three successive victories in one night. Winning the opening game by two pins, with Bill Nardozzi and Mike Ciarleglio leading the pace, the Senators then took the second en- yagement easily. The combination of Nardozzi and Ciarleglio again clicked in the second game with some help from Mazzalupo. Sciarra'S good pinning gave the Scouts vic- tory in the final by the margin of one pin.
 Tommy CeHasulo, finally landing the anchor post, pinned out some consistent games as the G-Men won two from the Presidents, pre-sea- sons favorites. Charles Chillemi and Pete Sylvestro also contributed ln the winning triumphs for the G-Men.
 The New Dealers were way of and lost two contests to the Trailers after winning the first game by 20 pins. Frank Adaisto. after bowling a poor first game, came back strong in the second and third contests, personally, giving his quintet the margin Of victories in close games.
 Little Tony Lombardi, wrapped tightly in q deep camel coat, firmly gasping a black 'stoggie" at the corner of his mouth, entered alone In the ''Y" Wednesday evening in a state of tranquility. all due. we gather, because of his unbelievable possession of high single in the league to date.
