Y h © current edition of the H.U.C,
basketball team has power, speed, and
aggressiveness and promises to be one of
the best teams in the history of the Cea-j
ter. Sid Klemow and Smokey Me Nells, two!
of last year * s veterans, have been elect-'
ed co-captains. !
STRICTLY SPORTS
The first game me played with the
Wilkes-Barre Y.M.C.A., and although our
team lost by a score of 59 to 35# the "Y"
found it rough sailing all the way.
In our game with Pottsville, the
Hucsters showed a big improvement over
their last gave even though they lost by
a 52-41 score. It really was quite a
heated contest.
December 10 was victory day for us
for on that day we beat M&MI to the tune
of 34 to 20. More than the victory in
importance was,the evidence that we had
a well-rounded team that could play heads
up ball. It is your reporter’s admoni
tion that you keep an eye on the boys—
they’re going places.
On December 16, there were a couple
of faces pushed in. More specifically,
the pugilistic aspirations of the members
of the boxing club \<rere finally realized.
The bouts were held at the "Y", hence no
coeds to cheer the boys on. On the bill
were Fudgy Bonner, who defeated Sauers;
Bob Byorick, who K.O.ed Gregory; Chuck
Vitabile, who beat (up) Ted Alex; and
Harris "Slapsie" Gilbert who out-pointed
Stan "Forest Hills" Birke.
A FERVENT PRAYER
My dear beloved Santa Claus,
Please listen to my prayer;
If you should come on Christmas eve
Leave but one present there;
’Tis not for myself I ask it,
’Tis for another—
Please leave a handsome son-in-law
For father and for mother.
<4,

Dear Aunt Sophronia:
Gee, things have been sailing along
at a terrific pace. And dear aunty, the
scandal that has teen going on, TshJ
I TshJ I'm sure you'll remember that Co
razza girl. Well, the eyes that have
been passing between her and Leo Stadnik
are definitely on the Woo Woo side,...
Such examples of democracy: Birke and
Gilbert are roommates, and they share
everything together—including the heart
of a certain Lois Long.... About Banks
and Maher going steady, are they kidding
or are they?...Candidates for the per
fect romance of the week are Kistler and
Brennan.... Those Yosts are on the loose
again—Alioe and Cliff, and Nancy and
Tito.... The girls are worried that all
the good-looking boys will be drafted—
and that Me Nells and Bonner will be
exempt.... Smokey wants a Lana Turner
Swetter for Xmas.... Adeline Defina re
ceives letters from Sal, a student at
Pitt, but there are no X-marks at the
end—l guess he's not mathematically
inclined,...They say that students are
unusually attached to Center profs. Be
that as it may, at least one coed is
certainly doing her best to make this
statement Chase itself home.... The marks
have gone home—mother says all I need
for Xmas is a pillow; I wonder what she
means?.,,Saw Mr. Isenberg at Engle's
Jewelry Store last week. Aunty, do they
fix watches at the jewelry department?
...Marion Lewis is sporting two class
rings, her own and -....1'm going to
ask Santa to bring two ferns for the
eligible faculty bachelors.... Quote
Naomi: "Oh, Andrew M., you didn't say
hello ••to me today." Unquote,...Birke
and Bishop are looking for a shorter
route to Scranton,...lf you want to know
what affects Smokey Me Nelis at basket
ball games, ask Harriet Breisch,..,l
