ODDS AND ENDS-One of the fi- nest of many lovely holiday greet ing cards which gave me the great. est kind of kick" came from Sgt. Mike Haiday, now in FRANCE, with the 67th Replacement battalion, in the thick of things in Belgium. '. Incidentally, cards came from two north end buddies, Staff Sgt. Tom (Chick) Ca-Hcv, now in England ane Lieut.. Colby attached to to the Rari,ai 7.D Army arsenal. Both played U.,, Cosby and the North End "" pcs ] teams for several seasons. The I t hope of their mutual friends, of which I am one, is that they may be together again-BUT SOONl Too much ICE outside the building, caused the postponement of a Baltimore ICE HOCKEY game the other night, when half the Boston team due for the game was stranded north of Philadelphia. During time-out period in the Crosby Alumni basket ball game Christmas night, Sailor Dom Rosa now in his "boot" train ing at Sampson, NY asked me who was the new Crosby FOOTBALL captain for next season.

This Sporting World
Friday Fish and Chips
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Some of the boys got to talking the other day, that is spouting about sports; and the name of the late and great Tom Thorp came up. Tom a brother of Ed Thorp, for whom New York Memorial Trophy award has been named, was a college foot ball and basketball official for many years, served as a pro football ar- bitter for a long time, and in later years was known nationally as an outstanding steward on the New Eng land race tracks especially at Mar ragansett, where his thorough -goil-- and unquestioned integrity was a big cog in the wheel of success that attended the 'Gansett races since opening day several years ago.
 At any rate, one of the best Stor- iss about Tom Thorp has to do with a football game in which one of the players continually used profane language. Thorp, referee in the game, actually HATED to hear such talk though he was a big man physically and could hold his own with most anyone; since his early playing days at Colum- bia. After warning the foul- nlouthed player several times, Thorp finally benched the young man who specialized in CD epi- thets. Player and his coach came running over to Thorp, demand ing an explanation of the referees seemingly sudden action. What RULE did he break?" the coach wanted to know seeking a reason for removal of his player from the game. To the question, MT. Thorp replied: "the SECOND COM MANDMENT" which, of course
 i've were taught in St. Mary's) is sS follows: thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, thy God, in vain!"

1T was not until had done all
this that opened the bulkhead to
climb out. I got the shock OF my
life. The tail section was the only
part of the plane there. A part Of
the vertical fin was left and the
right stabiliZer was broken in half.
The only part of the plane left be-
sides that was behind the tail
wheel-all told, about IL feet.
"I checked my watch. The whole
business from the time Of the crash
in the air to when I got out took 80
minutes. I figured it was possible
the plane came down in one piece
and the tail broke off when it hit
the big trees and when skidding
along through the smaller ones.
"The impact with the branches
had bent the guns like they were
made Of tin and had caved in the
bottom in several places. I don't
imagine I'll ever be able to figure
out just how I managed to come out
alive, but I believe it was because
