DieselS To Play Indie Hoop Ball

The Electric Boat Diesel hoop crew for 1943-44 will display their swaying torsos for this coming sea- son in other than the Connecticut State Basketball League.
 Now, it can be told that on a recent announcement by President Lou Black, who by the way is the A. P. representative for New Ha- ven and has given the league widespread publicity, the leagues policy committee voted to suspend operations for the first time since 1887 and to freeze the membership until the resumption of activities.
 The loop, only statewide or ganization to function last winter, was forced to shut down mainly because of a shortage of talent. Out-of-state athletes were avail able in some cases, but the league members have always considered home players as the circuits back bone and felt there was no reason to change this viewpoint now = even though it meant dropping out probably for the duration.
 Thus, for awhile, this section will be without the bitter inter- state battles that have marked many wintry evening at Bulke- ley Gym between the Diesels and the likes of the Bridgeport Spring wood, West Haven Red Devils, Waterbury Speedboys, Danbury Trojans and New Britain Cremos. The Hartford Gems, of Bill Savitt, will be remembered as long around this section, as there are men to play the game. Those kind of Pistol Packin' Performances live forever.

Like the crescendo of Wagner ian overture, they were turned out of their waltz with Morpheus, when the flash came through that the Diesels were going to close their schedule on November 28 and not with the Elm Street Tigers, either, but with the Whirl15ig Whoppers from Wisconsin, the Green Bay Packers at Muzzy Field, Bristol.
 The sports editor of this pioneer verse of journalese pathos hasn't any way of finding out how many have seen the Packers in action. That isn't his job. All he wants to drum home is the fact, that if the friend of my two readers who pause over these pages, hasn't had the opportunity to see Green Bay play, he shouldn't miss this Sum- days game at Bristol.
 The Packers as they stand are . fairly decent experimentation of good gridiron players. They are coached by their first and only mentor, Curley Lambeau, who Is as much a part of the Packer aggrega- tion as Grant Rice is to the modern sports pages and Ring Lardner was to those of yesteryear.
 With all the moleskin brains of Curley, Green Bay would be just one of the gang this year If it wasn't for the greatest end of all time, Don Hutson, former Crimson Tide sensation at Alabama. Hut son has written more victories for the Packers than any other player yes, even their greatest line bucker, Clark Hinkle, who will play against his old mates on Sunday.
 This season according to Hutson, will be his last as player and he expects to retire to his bowling alleys at Green Bay. When, as and if he does carry through with this threat, he will take with him the story of the greatest individual player the game has ever known.
 Naturally, such statement is open to conjecture. Individual ists such as Sammy Baugh, Bronko Nagurski, Red Grange, Ken Strong, Clark Hinkle, Mel Hein, George Halas, Bill Hewitt and a host of
The sub., 1943-11-25

others stand out. Still, the ex- ploits of Don Hutson are one of the marvals of the 2Oth Century Sportsana. To tell here of the records he has set would take up more space than we have avail able.
 The Diesels will be paced by the old Packer Founder, Clark Hinkle, one of the greatest line-buckers of all time. His runs through the best have resembled a raindrop scoot- ing down a window pane and twice as hard to figure out where he was going.
 Accompanying Hinkle, among the Cawley Cavorters, will be: Perry and Ugucinni, ends; Pudloski and Olson, tackles; Stevens and Brennan, guards; Lenger, center; Mitchell, Austin, Burian and Jim St. Peter.
 The game is being given under the sponsorship of the New Depar- ture recreational council and ac- cording to press time reports, the kickoff will be at 2:15 p. m.

Diesel Court Team Play Pros Tonight

Coach Joe Kane will lead his cohorts into battle Turkey Day eventide against the supposedly tough Beantown Pros. Kozy Kane, as he was known back in Penn sylvania, again will have the nu- cleus of a potentially smart court crew. It, with certain exceptions, will be a facsimile of the 1942-43 crowd that left so much devasta- tion in It's whirligig wake.
 Returning regulars of the Boat men squad will be Bob Calihan, forward, the human adding ma chine, who can flick them in from any corner of the floor; Mike Wal lace, forward, brick-topped perpet- ual man-in-motion, who can toss uncanny bloops that spell trouble to the adversary, George Petro- vich, guard, the minute miracle, with the pick up of a whippet, the fight of a female cougar and the flip of a dead eye dick, and Coach Joe Kane, who will double in brass, occupying the center post as we'll as the mentoring. Joe has been around the courts for quite a few years now and can't be fooled on many plays.
 Holes were made in the Electric Boat Club by the departure of Nick Shaback, one of the best guards seen around here in some time, and who is now in the army.

 four, none of them by knock

 suffered at the hands of Lou BrOuillard, former Worlds

 might we'll be termed the "un- known quantity" when it comes to local sporting circles. Either from the lack of publicity, or the lack of interest in this Sport-Sometimes spoken as. "an old mans game"- the league as we'll at the sport it. self Is very seldom spoken of or even thought of.
 The GrOtOn league opened its fifth season three weeks ago with four teams, composed all most entirely of Electric Boat employees, with the exception of team of soldiers from the GrOtOn airport.
 The other three teams are: Spi- cers, Tigers and Wildcats.
 Representing the SpicerS are: Howie Ward, Larry Sullivan, Joe Ruma, Bill Williams, Bill Gillogly, Fred Damon.
 The Tigers boast of Eddie Sulli- van, Ben Snow, Tony Dinovelli, Patsy Volpe, Russ Baker, Frank Ricci and Pat Denoia.
 The Wildcats, newly organ ized team, carry the following: Wes Riehl, Larry Crawford, Jimmy Mann, Andy Fiddler, Frank Skussell and Chub Hew- itt..
 The current standings of the league are as follows: Spicers- wins and 0 defeats; Tigers-2 wins and defeats; Air Corps and Wild catS-1 win and losses apiece.
 Albert Albeit, probably the most cOlOrful character ever to pass through the gates of the Electric Boat Company, has definitely stated that he plans to continue his fistic career de- spite rumOrs that he would re- tire after his recent marriage. After a months layoff, due to the uncertainty of the boxing situation in New London, Albeit went right to work again when Jim Mundell finally succeeded in obtaining a spot for his shows in Norwich.
 Through the efforts of Al Velez, the slugging southpaw, Albeit was permitted to train at the Sub Base, and we are informed that on his first day in the Base ring, he bowled over one of the Sub Base huskies with terrific right to the jaw.
 The grapevine tells us that before long we will have match with plenty of local cOl- Or-Abelt and Joe Pepewski, hard hitting boy from the foundry.
