Good News For Junior Cagers . . .
Pubtic and parochiat schoot otTiciats are anxious to join
with the Booster dub in order that a community junior basket
bat! teague be organized.
The matter wit] be aired at a meeting scheduted Monday
night at H o'ctock in town hat) at which time at) ctub members
are urged to attend. Speciat guests wit) be the Rev. Theodore
P. Gubata, director of athtetics at St. Mary's school and Wittiam
Bucktev. facutty member at PHS and supervisor of junior
athtetics in the pubtic schools.
In the past severa] years the
ju tier ba-ketba)! teague was con
ducted tor pubiic sehoo! students,
geueraity. and has enjoyed over
wi eiming success. Hi]) Buck!ey
ha^ been in charge of the pro
gram the past few years. Booster
dub enthusiasts are anxious that
tin teague inciude aii community
sehoo! boys at a certain age leve).
and a definite decision wii) be
ma !e Monday. Rev. Theodore P.
Gu aia, w ho coaches the reguiar
sch oi team at St. Mary's, indi
catt d he is extremeiy anxious
oth) * junior cages at the Mar
shal street sehoo! be a!!owed the
as&ggRsaga priviiege to participate.
' WtLHAM CVCKLEY ^ (he community
league in basketball may be sponsored simitar to the commun
ity junior basebatt circuit, which was under supervision of the
same Booster Club. Emphasis, however, witt be ptaced on the
junior-juniot etement, if present pians materialixe.
Needless to remind, the vatue of any such junior league is
not onty of great importance to participants, their parents and
friends, but serves as a "buiider" for future high school court
men. Many of the current PHS hoopmen started in the junior
league several years ago.
It is hoped many aduits wit!
volunteer a portion ot their time
to heip supervise the various teams.
Whe!) informed of the proposal.
Mayor John X. Demp ey immedi
ately agteed to assist. He is a
former high school and semi pro
basketballer. Many other adults in
the community, with some basket
ball experience and knowledge,
are expected to .join forces with
the sponsoring BooAet Club in
order that the project afford all
young boys in the community an
opportunity to play.
In the event that some 12 or
Id teams (a poll will be taken at *
the various school) sponsors may "AYOR ^ DEMPSEY
be forced to ask assistance of Albert Cacciapuoti. owner of the
new sports arena on School street. Some time ago he indicated
it would be a pleasure for him to help, especially if community
children are concerned. In the event that several teams decide
to compete it is feared facilities at PHS gym may be inade
quate to satisfy the great demand.
Booster Club Still Active . . .
During the past seve.al weeks many queries have been j
asked relative to the status of the Booster Club, in existence
for the past year, efforts of the membership have been de
voted toward basketball and baseball. During the tall campaign
little activity has been conducted, but renewed enthusiasm
ts expected the next several months.
It may be well at this time to recall the Booster Club spon
tored a gala testimonial for the PHS basketball team last win
ter and also awarded several gifts. In the spring the club
sponsored a junior baseball league, which was culminated
with a trip to Boston so that players witness Big League teams
in action; This certainly denotes some progress in the period
of a year for the "infant" service club. Greater deeds may be
accomplished it) years to come.
In fairness to the club membership it may be stated that
mactivity prevailed during the fall season because football
has never been played on a junior, supervised scale in the
community. Some thought to the matter may be given, how
ever. for the i950 season. Boosters have not delved into the
possibility of paying tribute to the high school football team
because this matter has been admirably taken care of by Put
nam Lodge of Klks and the School Department.
Boosters have some active men in the organization anxious
to sacrifice time and personal pleasure for the good and
satisfaction of community youngsters. More are needed Those
who may wish to assist are invited to attend the special Mon
day evening meeting at the town hall.

Knights Conquer
Pawtucket Saints
Markovic Stars
Marianapolis cagers. paced by Bob

luminary of Waterbury, had little
trouble Friday evening at Pawtucket.
R. I . as the Knights registered their
second straight victory of the current
campaign, 48-28.
Although the host hoopmen, St.
Raphael- managed to stay within
striking distatce of the Xutmegag

schi and Paul Frauenhofer contrib
uted tl and 10 respectively for the

versions.
Odds and Ends White StroHing . .
The fur may fly next Monday at Cargill AHeys when the
Sox and Yankees clash for the Clerks League bowling leader
ship. Capts. Percy Bigras and Ernie Tetreault, respectively,
are confident their charges will win . . . Scholastic basketball
ts now well unde, way, or will be next week, and every indi
cation has been given that the Quinebaug Valley Conference
will provide many exciting contests. St. Joseph's of North
Grosvenordale served notice Tuesday, although beaten 43-42
by Griswold, that the "Saints" plan to make it hot for some
of the "favorites." Walt Eddy does the coaching at the paro
chial school. Coach Walter Schmidt at Woodstock Academy
is reported to have a hustling group of cagers and they may,
likewise, provide some of the conference upsets . . . Heard this
week that one of our golfing police officers received a pair of
new links shoes and is very anxious (even in this-weather)
to do battle against some of his rivals . . . Know of at least two
Dr. W illiam (Bullet Bill) Osmanski supporters in Putnam, de
spite the poor coaching record of the Holy Cross mentor His
boosters include Norm Chase and Ernie Gerardi. Many others,
however, agree that he may have been an outstanding player,
but is not a coach. The latter profession can be very difficult at
times, especially when losses exceed the victories. Coach Jim
Greenhalgh at PHS has escaped the "wolves", as far as we
are able to determine. A constant winner is impossible. Jim has
turned out several mighty fine teams and his recent loss to
Killingly is no reflection on his coaching ability. He has proven
his worth and is certain to have the Clippers on top again
before long. He may settle a score or two with Killingly on the
hardwood this season. Redmen and Clippers divided a home
and home series last winter. School officials should give much
I thought to playing the Danielson foes in the uew sports arena
m Putnam.
