NEWARK COURIER-GAZETTE AND MARION ENTERPRISE, NEWARK, N. % THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1941 ^TELEPHONE, Get High Awards TOURNEY START WITH Antlers Also Enter DCAA Playoff, Lick NY 6 ' Loop Stars When the 11:10 train pull$ out of Rochester for Chicago to morrow night, aboard will be a group of nine men on whom some 2,000 Newark people p in 1 -their hopes of a place in the nation’s professional basketball sun. This rattler, the \Commo-j dore Vanderbilt”? will carry the J first Newark Elks squad ever to compete for the national, yes, even the world, pro crown in I the four-day tournament s tart- ‘ ing Saturday night in Chicago’s; International Ampitheater. At the same time, the club Will be looking forward to play m the DCAA $2,500 Invitation Tourney at Rochester the fol lowing Saturday and Sunday. They will make up a four-team field along with NY Rens, Sea grams, and Oshkosh All-Stars. Reservations for these games, priced at $1.65, $1.10, and 55 cents, are being made a t the Courier-Gazette office. 30 Fans Follow Team Off tomorrow will be the same eight-man squad that racked up its 11 th straight triumph here Tuesday, and 13th in 16 starts, with a smashing 56-37 victory over the New York s tate League' All-Stars on the new school court. Added will be i husky , A1 Lenowicz, former St, Francis College ace and a pro ^standout for the past three years, who was signed Tuesday to accompany the club. Leno wicz was the sparkplug of the Glens Falls Lions, state loop champs, and played one sterling game for the Elks against Sea grams last year. Bob Pepper, who had been doubtful on go ing, yesterday wired an OK to insure a full squad. The Antlers, unquestionably the finest quint ever to wear Purple and White spangles, will be followed hy a group of at least 30 local supporters, most of whom will leave together on the “Pacemaker” from here a t 10:30 tomorrow night. Reserva tions vfor this train, are being bandied by_Lyti VanLlew and anyone ' Interested in going should phone him a t 164 before tonight. First Game Big Task Besides competing for the wdrld’s championship toga, the Antlers will also be aiming for the $1,500 top award, or one of the next three prizes amounting to $1,000, $750, and $500. Each te a m 1 entered receives $200 whether it wins or loses the first round, while the winner PLAY AND BY-PLAY By DON BIRD & * Antleritis!! . . . ONLY once before have we seen this hotbed of basketball go as berserk pver a cage team as Elks followers have done in theis worship of the current Antler edition. That was just two- years- ago when the town went slightly mad as the high schpol five lost a questionable ope-point decision to Corning in the -finals of the sectional tourney. And again its a tourney—in fact two tourneys—th a t have the\ boys and girls mumbling in their steep. As the Elks leave tomorrow night for the Na tional Pro Tournament in Chi- I cago, five will get you ten from j many a team fan that they’ll ’ wade through four games against the cream of the United States pro crop and bring the coveted world’s title and $1,500 top prize back to the “Rose Capital of America’’. And, when they return, victorious or only an also-ran, you can bet they’ll get 99 per cent backing in the DCAA Invitation Tourney at Rochester next Saturday and Sunday. *■. * * IT’S inspiring ad provoking, this all and interest being team. Not only dbes the club richly deserve such backing, but also it’s a tribute to our sports fans that they can take a group of fine upstandipg fel lows from qnt of town into the local fold and call each one “brother”. This is a n ideal team in spirit, morale, and good con duct—one which any town can be happy to call its tow n ... We wish every one conld become a permanent- resident here. And, above all, we wis.h them our little portion of luck and God speed when they take the floor in Chicago. Looking, impartially at. \ the toumcjr, we see a long, arduous road ahead for the Antlers. The Trotters were beaten here by a single basket. And you can be sure they’ll be fighting har der when shooting for higher stakes than in just another road trip game. This-is big stuff. But if the locals should get by that . , tough quint, what do they face? M/m Pr°habiy the Indianapolis Kaut skys, who also beat the Trotters I this year by a larger margin. It I m ight be Detroit’s Eagles, whom each succeeding game increases EIks whipped herej but its purse proportionally. I they’ll be loaded for bear too. Coach Ted Beales and his g0j don'{, tbe lily too soon, charges will “shoot the marks 12 ^ , 3 ,s nQ harm in shouting in their first tourney start ]oud and iong, however, and we against the brilliant Chicago £now that whatever the boys do Harlem Globe Trotters, winners at ch icago, they’ll give their of last year’s tournament a n d . best and eliminated will get one .o f the best m thejana. i n e , jUst ^ w arm .a homecoming as kkey w£jj ^ victorious. Should they go all the way, watch this crossroads really get a coat of red paint! * * * Hail the Godfathers . . REALLY responsible for this trip are nine businessmen and local industries which each con tributed $100 toward sending the club as a promotion for their village . ..They a re George Bumhain, S. E. Comstock, Hal- lagan Mfg. Co., Ira Humeston, Jackson & Perkins, Paul D. Newton, Perfection Canning Co., George L. Richmond,, and Lyman K. Stuart . . . Every one deserves a big b o uquet. . . Hum- eston and Art Christy will be in charge of team finances during the tourney . . . Roger Elliott, rabid A n tlerfan and an expert critic, will be the only Newarker to make the trip on the 11:10 sleeper out of Rochester with the team. Those who expect to leave here on the 10:30 train include Russell Barnmaker, Joe Gun- mtegham, Edward Farrell, [Ira Humeston, Harry Chap man, Dr. F. J. Langenstein, Jim Wood, Robbo Robinson, Ray Wilson, Dick Garrity. Lewis Johnson, Murray Welcher, John Metcalf, Abe Vanderbrook, Chub Perduyn, Wilson Parker, Jac&b Tack, Carl Walker, Lyn Van- Liew, Bump Howard, Coach Ted Beales, Business Manager Herb Alexander, and Booking Mana ger Chris Rooker . . . Mr. and Mrs. Ken Tack and Mr. and Mrs. Gene McClellan, now Chicago residents, will join the Newark rooters at the games . . . Roger Elliott may fly on out to Cali fornia with some Chicago news men friends to see Hank Lusetti play . . . . Bump Howard expects to be on hand for at least the first two tourney games to bring back a ftrst-hafid account for Courier-Gazette readers . . . Are we predicting? It's suicide, but our guess is for the Elks to cop the opener and get bumped by Kautskys in the. second. Now you guess. SIGNING Of A1 Lenowicz is locals have the advantage of knowing that the Trotters can he beaten, following their nar- , row 27-25 defeat here two weeks ■ago, / but the Trotters also have 1 men the Elks in action, know :. they-are-no pushovers, and will be loaded to the hilt for this opening scrap. They’ll meet at. >10 o’clock Central Time Satur- j day (11 p. ni.

Whether ior not the boys are trying to live up to their new monnicker is'open to question, but for the past two weeks they have been slipping steadily and this week dropped another match to fall 5 points behind the leading Buffalo Truckers. Tommy Gravino, anchorman, has been shouldering the load for the team for several weeks and it looks as if the club might fall apart at the seams even before Tom and Charlie Ross answer the draft call next month. Tommy hit a good 191- 222-198 for a 611. total to lead the Chumps last Monday, hut the team dropped 3 points to Arcadia Oilers as the rest of the Chumps were in the low class, except possibly for Roy Fol- leite’s 545, Oilers, paced By Hal Och’s 560 and aided by a 100 handicap, took two games and total pins. * * * BUFFALO'S, meanwhile, were taking 3 markers from Clyde Roys as they overcame a 16 handicap and rolled consistent ly to cop two lines and total. Capt. Nick Santino sparked his Truckmen with 540, along with Mickey Moyer's 2Q3 and Dorn Mazzei’s 200 singles. Lloyd Daley’s 532 led the Clyders. Jackson & Perkins Retailers staged a- big spurt to climb to third ahead of Roys as they bombed out a 4-point sweep over Pillrollers. Ray Taylor led the victors with a 483, while Bob Hausman’s 496 and Dr. Dupha Reeves’ 485 topped the Pill- men. J&P Wholesalers also cap tured 1 their match with a 3- pointer over Marion Towners. Mike DeAugUstinO’s 480, plus a 26 handicap, won two games for J&P and total pins by a 64 margin. Standings and points: W L Pt Ruffalo’s Truckers Newark Chumps .

The Hill men are now pointing toward the annual Rochester YMCA Invitation Tournament, start ing March 24, and will add Tom Rich of the Elks for this event. Jim Hgrt, late of the NHS varsity and all-league forward, ringed in 5 buckets in the first half to lead Man’s Club, to a 21- 18 at half-time, while Sam Michaels’ 9 markers kept Ballys in the fray, In the second round, however, Hillmen walked away when Bob Shaeffer con nected for a trio of pivot shots and Taylor looped in five long tosses to lead a 26-point flurry that put the contest on ice.

Elks moguls considered Myron Ohr mann of Lyons, ex-St. Lawrence star, but decided that the ex perience and smoothness of L’einowicz would stand them iri better stead than Ohmann’s acknowledged scrappiness. Al, as a reserve, will be a big asset in the back court and we know he has the stuff, despite a slow showing- here Tuesday , . . Johnny Schroeder will fly back to Rochester after Saturday’s game to do his Sunday preach ing, and if the Elks get into the second round Sunday night he won’t be there. Lenowicz will then be more valuable than ever . . . Should they win Sun day, Schroeder will ride the train back for Tuesday’s semi final . . . Reports that Elks had signed Dick Evans of Hammond are unfounded and apparently an error . . , Antlers were to wear their new jerseys here Tuesday, but that afternoon it was discovered that the letter ing on <the back “Rose Capital of America” had been spelled with an “o” in capital, so back they went for correction in time for the tourney. ’ o - Farm Queries Reinforcing a Dam Q.H.C. has built a log and earthen dam and wants to make the dam permanent by planting trees on top of it so that the roots will grow together .and make a strong dam. He asks for the kind of trees to plant. J. D. Pond of the forestry de partment answers: “Instead of planting frees, we .suggest the setting oi willow posts. These postd* should be long enough to go down to the water level and should be between three and six inches in diameter. These posts should be cut in late March and set as soon as the frost is put of the ground. “Common black willow Is probably the most suitable and oan be found along streams artd in moist places.
