10 • NEW CASTLE NEWS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1945 Basketball Comes To Westchester By Tom Whelan PIBR-ODDITES By John Pierotti Police News Football finally bowed out of the country athletic picture this last week with the final game of the season going to Iona over the New Rochelle High School All- Stars at New Rochelle last week 21-0. The added touch will be applied this week with the an nouncement of the annual all- country selections. Chappaqua will have a celebration all its own next Friday night, the 14th, when the American Legion will honor this year's unbeaten and untied Horace Greeley squad with a football dinner at the Mount Kisco Country Club. The 14th of December will be a big day for Greeley because it also marks the date of the first basketball game of the season. The boys * 'II journey down to Harrison that afternoon at 3:30 for the E. S. T. contest in which Coach \Whitey\ Keils' team will try to get off to a flying start, and at the same time try to make up for that disastrous 62-24 shellacking the \Huskies\ hand ed Greeley in the local court opener last season. The Quakers will have their work cut out for them, though, as Harrison, a Class \B\ school, generally turns out one of the top quintets in this area. The Greeley home opener will be contested the following Tuesday afternoon, the 18th. with Croton-Harmon winner of the County C title in the tournament held at the White Plains County Center last spring. More about this game next week when the entire sched ule will be printed. The Greeley team is now in its third week of practice, and Coach Keil has begun to cut the squad BACK HOME AGAIN down from the original turnout of 35 to the number he will need to fill out his Varsity and Jay- Vee. Five, or exactly half, of last season's letter men are re turning, namely, Jack Melin and Duke Messenger, seniors; high scoring center Ed Corrigan; Pat sy Corrozza, and Jim Lopez. A few of the members of the NW1 league champ Greeley Jay- Vees, John Byrne, Bruce Heil- man, John Principe, Dick Herz, and Don Hess are expected to give the veterans a real battle for those starting berths. Bob Mengebier, now biding time while his injured knee—sustained in the final week of football — is mending, was a standout on the \Jays\ last year, and will be a welcome addition to the Quakers if he recovers in time to see some action later on. The complete roster will be published next week along with the schedule. Intra-Mural Basketball Succeeds Coach Keil sent out a call for boys to compete in a high school Intra-Mural basketball competi tion two weeks ago and look what happened. Seventy-five boys signed up, enough for eight teams to be selected and split in to two divisions (Orange and Blue leagues). The system calls for each team to play the other three teams in its league once, and then for the winners of these two competitions to meet for the title. This series will keep the boys busy until after the holidays and the second Intra-Mural competi tion will be held, this time, how ever, with the members of the Quakers Varsity and Jay-Vee teams dropped from the list.

Do you know how the word \mascot\ found its way in to our language? Mascot is the term for any person, animal or thing supposed to bring luck (Fr. slang: perhaps from Port, mas- cotto, \witchcraft\). The word was first popularized in the comic opera LA MASCOTTE in 1880, the author of which was Edmond Audran. However, it had been in common usage in France long before this time among gamblers. It has been traced to a dialectic use in Provence and Germany, where it signified something which brought luck to a house hold. George B.

Kisco The honorable \Judge Wright\ first appeared on September the 10th of this year. Next week, Bob Brent and Bob Wells tell a new story of mystery, romance and intrigue. The first case \Judge Wright\ solved, thrilled mystery fans all over the country for the feature is a masterpiece of detective fiction. It contains action and plenty of it, suspense, romance and human interest. And the plot is formed in the best tradition of the finest American thrillers. As plot-makers Brent and Wells know that it is not necessary to resort to other planets or out-of- this world characters to obtain and sustain thrills and suspense. All the characters in the strip from the Judge and his feature writing friend, Ann Sage, to the most minor characters, are real people. Judge Wright is a scrupulously honest young man who has ob tained the peak of his profession while he is still young enough to have ideals and the desire to put these ideals into effect. Unfortu nately, in trying cases his de cisions must be based on evi dence as submitted which is often misleading. How he collects real evidence outside of the Court House and his chambers make for some of the most exciting mystery reading published today. Judge Wright's business is proving that justice is not al ways blind and he does a mighty good job of it. Ann Sage is Judge Wright's attractive young friend. She is a successful feature writer and she l^elps the Judge uncover the guilty in their community. It may be that something a little more than friendship has al ready entered into their relation ship. The other characters in the strip are as true to life as the two principals and they play their parts equally as well. The Judge Wright strip con tains everything of interest to readers everywhere plus excel lent art work and an entirely new approach. The bad weather came sooner than scheduled. As a result, un prepared motorists have met with accidents almost daily. Mr. William R. Keefe, of Old Roaring Brook Road, crashed into the rear of a Gristede truck on Seven Bridges Road last Saturday. The truck stopped short without giv ing notice. There was a three-way acci dent on Bedford Road on Sun day, December 2, at 1:30 p.m. Mr. Harry Anderson, of Brooklyn, stopped short without signalling Gerard Schmid of New York City who was behind him. Schmid, in trying to avoid Anderson, caused a third car, that of a sol dier from Oklahoma, to crash in to his own car. No personal damage was suffered, but the sol dier's car was so badly wrecked that it had to be towed away. Chief Romaine requests it be emphasized that the public high ways will not only be patrolled nightly, but that summons will be issued to those violating the parking law. Protests against hunting in or near residential areas come in regularly. In order to enforce the law, the land must be posted every fifty feet. Dr Hunter treated Ann Bliss, of Old Farm Road, Chappaqua, for a bite incurred by a dog own ed by Mrs. Givens of Ridgewood Terrace. As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. „/ Whatever differs from this, to / the extent of the difference, is 7 i no democracy. Another Victim of Crime Read what Judge Wright does about it. . . . The new Judge Wright story tells how the Judge leaves his chambers and court room to consort with the lowest of crim inals to obtain evidence that will give him the right to tree the innocent and punish the guilty. And how the beautiful feature writer, Ann Sage, helps this human young man prove that Justice is not blind. Read this new thrilling, human inter est mystery story. BEGINING IN THIS ISSUE
