wouldn't have my usual unhappy
thoughts about the creeping
years. So, for weeks, I did a
very efficient sales job, carefully
extracting solemn promises to
skip the whole thing from those
who in other years had remem-
bered the date.
Came the day. ] awoke earlier
than usual and at once began
to listen for the doorbell and
telephone. Surely there would
sbon be messengers and delivery
boys bearing exciting packages,
voices singing happy birthday.
AS the day progressed and all
bells were consciously silent,
the gloom piled up.
Two friends did drop by. but
they never mentioned birthday.
Evidently when some people
promise to forget, they do a
really thorough job. And it was
too late for me to open the issue.

because I came from a long line
Of people who were sentimental
about birthdays and invariably
made a fuss. My mother. used
to say that birthdays are espe-

and Thanksgiving are for every
body. She always fixed an espe-
cially good dinner with our
favorite charlotte russo for des-
sert and waiting at the table was
the one present each of us had
longed for. My mother always
knew. And she was unique in
that she delighted to give what
you wanted, not what she

Leemuns Has ASenor Team
This Looks Like CAROLS Year
For Catholic Football Crown
By Bob Henson
(Another in d Series.

When st. Johns High de-
feated Carroll, 1870, last year at
Griffith Stadium, in a playoff for
the Catholic League football
championship after the two
teams had played to a 6-6 tie
earlier in the season, Coach
Tuffy Leemans of Carroll re-
marked. THE best team won but
it viii be different next year, I
guarantee that"
Leemans, the former George
Washington University and New
York Giants backfield star,
wasn't just talking through his
hat" With only five players
missing from an all-senior squad,
the Lions, on paper at least, will
be the team to beat this season
for the league title.
The most notable loss is Pete
Manning. All-League tackle, who
has moved to Massachusetts,. Joe
Starke. hard-running back, Gene
Ebel, kicking specialist, Dan
Stallings. regular center, and Bill
Simpson, a tackle, will be un-
available for league games.
Starke is over age, while Ebel,
whose I 18-yard field goal gave
the Lions a 80 victory over Con-
zaga last year. Stallings and
Simpson have used UP their
eligibility. i
Strong Line Expected.
Frank Wightman and John
Beers appear to have the in
side track on the end positions.
The guards probably will be from
among Dennis Love, Joe Balsamo
and Bill Lynch. The tackles will
come from Joe Krahling, an end
last season: Tony Cutone, who
also saw duty as q fullback;
Bernie johnson and Simpson.
Bernie Dean probably will spell
Stallings at center. The back
field shapes UP as top grade with
Ed Scanlon, Bill Hessler, Charley
May, Frank Ursitti. Dick PAN
neton, Tom Hughes, starke and
Ebel.
Despite this apparent array Of
talent, Leemans was. quick to
emphasizes that it is not neces-
sarily a stand-pat team. The
Lions veterans, who went unde-
feated in regular season play
last year, will be pressed by some
promising material coming up
from the jayvees.
I'VE have to work toward
molding new team for the next
few years after the seniors have
graduated" Leemans said. "Any
borderline cases will be shunted
to the second team to make room
for a more promising candidate
from the jayvees."
This is supposedly our year
to win the league title" he
added. But we still have to
look to the future and new pros
poets who show to advantage in
practice viii be given every
chance to make the first team"
Promising Jayyee Prospects.
Bob Dwyer. athletic director
and coach of the jayvees, has
sent along several promising |
players. Backf1eld candidates in
clude Bob Howell, Frank Cam |

AyiIa' S Squirt Keeps
indians Hot Despite
Rosen' S Worst Skid
BY the Assoeicsed Pres.

CLEVELAND. Aug. IA big
reason Manager Al Lopez isn't
yanking out his hair by the
handful over AL Rosen's cur
rent batting slump is Bobby
Avila. whose ninth-inning single
won the Indians a 4-3 victory
over the Tigers last night.
The little Mexican second base
man has taken up the slack this
month while Rosen is having
the most batting trouble Of his
major league career.
Even without much help from
their big man.l the Indians have
kept the second -place Yankees
from closing . gap Of three
games. -
II look for AL to come out of
it," Lopez said, "and Avila and
Larry Dolby are keeping us in
there on the attack"
While Dolby has provided six
homers in II August games. his
batting average actually has
dropped s. points to PTS.
Avila. however, has been hitting
at a $50 clip for the II games,
batting in 10 runs on 81 hits,
including three homers.
The best of Avila's previous
five seasons with the Indians was
