The Old Story With
 A New Ending:
fAs Told Ry Alan I.offreda)

It was day in mid-October when the football season was in full swing, contest was scheduled for that afternoon between Bouley Manor and the Overlook Midgets, This decidedly grim contest was to have many hitches before 1t went one way or the other.
 Bouley Manor the smaller of the two teams went into this game with seven regular men, and one more whom they picked up at the playing field.
 The game got under way with the Manor's being outweighed and out classed by this opposing team, with Little" Joe Petrokaitis in the Md get lineup. Colin Mckay starred, you might say, by making a g yard plunge to set up one of the Man. or's two touchdowns, The not strictly above-board sleeper Play was used several times by the Mid gets to their own advantage. This Midget team in my opinion did not play this game strictly above board, but won by a score of 28 to l3, This Bouley Manor team, next year will be out for blood and to avenge the honor of Colin Mckay, who was badly mauled in this game.
 Youth Triumphs Over Age
 Tippy Larkin, that game little fighter from Garfield, New Jersey was knocked out by Beau Power house" Jack. Friday night in one minute and l9 seconds of the third round, at Madison Square Garden I guess Tippy was not able to bring home the championship for his little daughter to play with on her birth day. Too bad, Tippy, perhaps next time. Jacks youth breezed to 6 win over Larkin's age.

 Doing His Part On
 The "Victory Express"
 Doing a fine job around town al selling War Bonds and Stamps is Roy Schwartz, a Crosby freshman Roy makes his headquarters at Vic tory House on the Green where he works in collaboration with the Sal- vation Army which is now manning the house. His voice may be heard over the loud speaker chirping like that of professional.
 My best wishes to Jimmy Lee and his squad of Wildcats in the future season and congratulations on that hard earned victory which you gain- ed Saturday night against the strong Alumni team.
 Old Ivy gets underway on Tues day night. by tackling a very strong Merideh team in the first hoor classic of their current season. Aftei a little hard thinking I would give Crosby an even chance against Mer- iden which has gotten oil to flying start" This analysis being made on very soft ground and contrary to the predictions of R. c. who reaffirms his opinion that Meriden will win by five points. (Are you willing to bet R. co P. S.-Q wouldn't)
