Noon reports from N. Y have
established Jack LaMotta an 8

Somehow or other, under those
conditions, I would favor Zivic's
chances, weight and all, for

I am writing this letter in hopes
OF again stimulating girls basket
ball, which held the spotlight for
many years. Due to war obstacles,
pleasure driving restrictions and
gas rationing, the court game was
forced to fold up. Now, although
there are not many changes In
the these conditions, women in
large numbers are engaged In de-
Tense work and need some sort
OF sports relaxation after putting
in a hard day at the factory. My
girls, members Of the New Haven
Speedgirls for seven years. are
more than anxious to get started
again and ! quite agree with them.
1t seems that many factories are
going TO sponsor girls basketball,
according 10 reports, and I firmly
believe, to lessen the war tension,
comparative sports is needed,
and thus my decision to organize.
I would like to hear from any
girls basketball managers as soon
as possible so that a Satisfactory
schedule can be arranged. Hoping
you can see my view point and
publish this article, ! remain,
Yours In sports,
CARL HOP" MUzzO,
Manager New Haven Speedgirls.
