SO. CHICAGO, III. - With

past, the current Lodge 44O
Mixed League is shaping up
as the finest both competitive
ly and fraternally in the three
years as an organization.
The competition of late is
keen and the teams seem to
be well balanced. December
2, the Ban Jelacic behind John
Bucks 546 series won three
games from the Nick and Do
rothy Tavern combine. This
despite the 218-534 set by
Frank Grahovac.
The clean sweep enabled
the Ban Jelacic squad to
move into first place, a half
game ahead of the Jovial
Club who had their hands
full edging the GOlich Fun
eral Home team.
Lou Stincic, 208-566, paced
the Jovials, while Mike Paun
rolled 206-575 for the losing
Golichs.
Mike Jerbic, 204-528 and

Sweepstakes has come along
well since it's inception in Nc
Keesport back in January,
1850. AS a C.F.U. undertak-

ciety's blessing to the extent
of trophies to the respective
champions and an appropri-

November 21st games of the
st. Rochus Lodge 5 Mixed
Duckpin League saw the
Lodge 5 keglers for the Sec

nod over a first division team.
That combine, John Ro-

trich, 191-492, Frank Stojko-
vich, 171-452 and Agnes Col
merac, 139-365, appears to
have been tuned recently and
will bear watching.
In defeating the leading st.
Rochus Church team, while
the second place Baretincic
Morticians were combing the
Pavich Amusements for two
game win, the lead margin
was at least reduced to nine
games.
Victor Farkas, Sr. fired
the male highs at the most
recent session in 224-533.
Frank k0lar had a 446 set
and Vic, Jr., who the pre-
vious week hit 196-5O9, lev
elled off at 431.
1t is nice reporting to note
that our fair sex have been
clouting the naples, Cecilia
Jakovic, 190-424, Kay Spisak
157-405 and Helen Demko,
367 as some of the better

On such an occasion, as in

In addition for all the
bowlers who do not win one

Hotter Scrap For 1957-58 Loop Laurels

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Here in
| the Greater st. Louis CF'U
League, the women keglers
have reached the half way
mark with some fine scores
and plenty surprises scattered
along the way.
AS individual high scores
we have had Kate Grbac's
223-603; Bess Tatlock with
226-533; Cathie Domian, 218;
Kate Grbcich. 535; and Fran
ces Grbcich, 553. Albina Ko-
vacevic toppled them for a
526 count and Helen Perhat,
2O1-499.
Then we have some that
may not be mentionable in the
Zaiednicar, but they are ne
vertheless marks of achieve
ment and the names which
subscribe to them are doing a
fine job of keeping their
teams in fine standing.
First, I'll mention Jose
phine JOvanovic who for
the past eleven weeks has
bowled no less than 381
and no more than 418 for
All evening. Along that line
we have Marlene Jovanovic
who holds a 131 average
| and tends to bowl close to
! that mark.
Agatha Jovanovic started
out with a 1872 average and at
this writing she still is holding
it. Much as to say, that while
nothing was gained, neither
was there a loss.
Danice Ban has been both
consistent and an improved
kegler. Angeline Jovanovic
has improved her average by
no less than nine pins and her
teammate Cathie Domian has
upped hers 5 pins over that
of last year.
We are glad to welcome our
newcomers Albina Kovacevic
and Marlene Jovanovic and
hope to have enough others
with us to bowl six teams next
, season.
There are no less than ten
bowlers back with us who had
/ been on the absentee list for
several seasons. Of course, we
do remember and appreciate
the "old faithfuls" that keep

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - The
Croatian Fraternal Union un-
der the eagles of Lodge 5 is
entered in the City Junior
Basketball League.
At the opening night, the
C.F.U.-ers against the Bon
Air five put up a good fight
to the half way point, being
tied at 17-17.
However, the shooting of E,
, Miksic and Pekich, 13 and IL
points. respectively, was not
enough. The Bon Airs put on
a scoring spree to win out
by 6 points, 1887.
In the seasons second
game, the Don Billiards were
behind at the close of the
first stanza, 10-11. Thereafter
the score read in their favor
at the quarter marks, 1920,
, 4O-31 and at the final whistle,
62-48.
The Miksic brothers put on
a wonderful exhibition, Ed
with 20 tallies, tops in the
game, and George with II
points.

shooting of Mike Svorcina's,
214-529, Chorak's sol and
Mary Lou Tomich's feminine

Senior And Junior Basketball Teams
Again Eligible For Financial Support
But Quints Must Report Activities Via
Pages OF The Society's Official Organ

PITTSBURGH - Basket
ball teams, senior and junior,
engaging in sustained play for
the 1888 season, be it in
dependent or league, are ell
gible upon application to the
G. F. u. Sports Educational
Department for aid in the a.
mount of a seventy five dol
lars (S75.0O) appropriation.
This is not to infer that
a team organized but to en-
ter the annual C.F.U. tour
nament will rate the appro-
priation. Rather to the con-
trary, there must be sea-
sonal activity and it must
be reported regularly
through the Zajednicar.
We might even advise now
and thus avoid disappoint-
ment later when tournament
rosters are checked for the
"three months membership"
prior TO the opening date of
the tournament, that it be-
hooves those organizing and
bolstering their cage squads
to get busy now.
The time to become mem
bership conscious is now and
not a month before a C.F.U.
Basketball Tournament.
The recruiting of new men,
bers during the entire twelve
months is the duty of every
C.F.U. member, as it is to
place the Society in the best
light to the prospective appli-
cant.
The coverage that sports
gets in the Zajednicar, its
liberal policy to the sports
minded. should very hand
lily be used as a fulcrum to
open the door to a hesitant
and perhaps, not suffi-
ciently protection conscious
newcomer.
With the basketball season
now on hand, may we hear
from the C.F.U. cagers?

supper served by our young
women bowlers. BY the
way, there will be no
charge for this supper. Mu-
sic for those desiring to
trip the light fantastic will
be supplied by the "Balka-
niers" of Toronto, a very
popular group of musicians.
We are looking forward to
seeing all our friends from
Toronto, Hamilton, Welland
and the surrounding districts
at the Croatian Nationa.
Home, Saturday, December
21st, as we begin celebrating
Yuletide.

more quarterback OF tremen-
dous future promise.
That article was right up
the alley Of the members of
Midland, Pa, Lodge 1872,
for Ivan happens to be an
affiliate of their small but
never-say-die ranks.
Now they are back in the
limelight, this time with Mi
chael Mike karas.
Quite a man, Mike,
Finished With Sports:
Himself a Lodge 1872 men,
Der Of long standing, Mike
made one of the greatest
comebacks in small-college
football when he reported for
practice last fall with the
Geneva College, Beaver Falls,
Pa, grid squad.
AS a freshman quarterback
with the "Covenanters' of
Geneva, Mike led his grid
mates to a six wins, three
losses season and emerged
that year as the nations best
small-college passer.
So outstanding was his
play that season that he
was given Little All-Amer-
ica mention and was named
to the N.A.I.A. first team.
And then = boom.
On July 18, 1856, Mike was
struck by a truck in a con-
struction pro ject accident
, which left him with multiple
fractures Of the pelvis and la
ceration involving the bladder.
No more football days for
him, said his friends of Mid
lands "Mr. K"
Back To The Wars
: Although he had a critical
back injury, nine months later
found the doctors advising
Mike "to return to any type
of activity, including the ath-
letic brand"
In August, 1857, he repor-
ted to football camp, much to
the surprise of his coaches
! and legion of friends.
In a few short weeks he
| made the first team, but this
time as a Geneva halfback
and not a quarterback. All
this in spite of the fact that
he was disabled from July Of
1856 to April of this year.
True, Mike didn't show the
speed he once possessed, but
that didn't stop him from
gaining 453 ycards for the
"Covenanters' during the re-
cent gridiron wars.
