Luzeme's Team
Small But Fast,
Dopesters Say
Coach Morgan Applauds
Spirit Of Boys; Only
Four Regulars Return
According to reports issuing from
the Luzerne high school, Coach Mor-
gan, better known to his players
and friends as “Dake”, will have a
small but fast basketball quintet
representing Luzerne in the Valley
League when the season opens on
January 5 against Pittston.
Coach Morgan claims his present
outfit has one of the best co-opera-
tive spirits shown in the high
school in some time. The team is
small, the average being around
5 feet 9 inches, with six foot Slivin-
sky, a newcomer to the squad being
the tallest.
Luzerne has been known in the
past for its great basketball teams
and has produced some stars who
made fine rocerds at schools of
higher education. Among the stars
are such names as Bednar, Coolick,
Malinski, Carr, Hughes, Banta, the
Inman brothers, the Sekera brothers
and the Killeeen brothers.
Veterans Are Scarce
Coach Morgan reports that of his
original squad of last season only
four regulars have returned and
only one of these played with the
first five men. The other members
of the squad, will be playing their
first year of varsity ball.
The Alumni will play the local
varsity on January 1, and a dance
will follow the game. The Alumni
will be made up of Hitchings, Kil-
leen, Eike, Inman and Carr all for-
mer high school stars.
It is to be hoped that with a good |
team in the offing the local fans
will support the team in a good
manner. Much credit for the cal-
ibre of past teams must go the able
coaching of “Dake” Morgan and his
assistant, Tom Demby.
The members of this years squad
are: Crossin, Whiteman, Bogron,
Slivinski, Chernesky, Dykovitch, F.
White, Krokoski and G. White.

Orioles Finally
Hit Their Stride
Cellar Position Team
Defeats St. John's
The bottom place Orioles finally
found their stride in the West Side
Merchants’ League by taking two
games for three points from the St.
John's.
Buddies’, with Banks, Govier,
Brown, Nemetko and Mizenko,
lined up against the Bileggi Cafe to
take two games for three points.
Tedo Merli of the Bileggi Cafe
team seemed at a loss for words on
beholding that new team. Well,
somebody mentioned that it was a
screwy league this year.
Spinicci Garage very easily de-
feated the Grablick Dairy with their
bunch of learners, Spinicci taking
all three games.
Blight Bros. crashed up against a
stone wall when they attempted to
beat the Sterling team, which took
all three games for four points.
A good example of team jumping
was in evidence in the Lipo Insur-
ance vs. Luzerne Anthracite game.
Those boys guilty of the offense
should read up on A. B. C. rules.
Under protest, the games were|
awarded - to Lipo Insurance when
the facts were placed before the
league president.

Underdogs Have
Their Big Day
Mullay Girl Keglers
Defeat Ferraro's Team
There were big doings in the
Luzerne Junior Bowling League the
past week when the under dogs
got their day.
The Central Cafe stopped the
league leading Quarteroni Bros. by
taking three points to shorten the
gap between these two teams.
Kelly Street Market added four
points to its standing by taking all
three games from Al's Barber Shop.
The win put the Marketeers in third
place with one point separating
them from second place.
Buddies’ were completely over-
come by the smoke screen laid down
by the General Cigar boys who took
all three games.
The Mullay Shoe Repair girls’
team used their wiles on the gullible
Ferraro Truckers and took three
points from them.
In compiling the records of the
Junior league we get the following:
Individual three-game high is held
by Polly Evans with 600. peints.
The single game high goes to
Radovic with 227 pins.
Team high three held by the]
Central Cafe with 2527 pins.
One game high goes to Questrant
Bros. with 910 pins.

next and Al's Barbers hold last with |

were members. As a result, the
critics charge, Pittston, instead of
Shickshinny, should be champion
of the conference.
For example, the final standings
included the name of one school
team which did not pay its yearly
dues and indicated it has no inten-
tion of doing so. The team was
not suspended and its record effect-
ed the standings of the other teams.
Kingston Township was credited
with .193 points. It should have
.207, according to the revised stand-
ings.
Following the delayed announce-
ment of the final standings, Shick-
shinny’s team was feted as champ-
ion of the conference. Now that
the mistake has been exposed, there
is considerable confusion concern-
ing what to do about recognizing
Pittston.

Bowling Notes
After a hilarious week with the
Luzerne Juniors this column takes
much pleasure in commending the
Juniors on their sportsmanship in
the great game of ten pins. These
kids who comprise the Luzerne
Junior Bowling League are in the
game with all their heart and soul.
Their main object is to win a game
from their opponents, prizes are
secondary. Winning one game
means as much to them as being
awarded a ten spot. Good luck,
boys!
The Juniors held a meeting Sun-
day. Plans were made for their
first dance. The sponsors of the
teams are heartily in accord with
the boys and promise all the as-
sistance they can give to make it a
success. Danny Leandri, as presi-
dent, made a fine appeal to all
bowlers to put their shoulders be-
hind the affair. The bowlers pro-
mised they would go the limit for
old Alma Mater. Well done!
The Mullay Girls again proved
that the female is more deadly
than the male. They trounced the
