THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1939 T H E WATCHMAN PAGE FIVE S P O R T S i *h M. H. S. Opens I THE SMOKEHOUSE I By JOE SMOLENSKI The Greenport Rams stood on their haunches, wound up, and tossed a dead strike across the pan against the rest of the league by shellacking Amltyvllle in the first gridiron tilt last Sunday In defense of their championship — The Rams butted their opponents all over the acreage and scored the season's most Impressive victory — A! Martoochia had Hogan, Welles and Keese running rampant through the flimsy Amltyvllle defense wall — Keese, especially, took the lime light as one of the most Important additions to tlje Ram backfleld and will undoubtably prove a thorn In every Suffolk County Town Team League outfit’s frontal wall — His elusive running and touchdown passes elevated him to an early all-star rating In the semi-pro football circle — Hogan and Welles aided by the plunging tactics of the big fullback, Fiedler, make up one of the finest backfleld combinations In the league — The boys run, kick, and pass with equal skill — The line Is unusually shifty for a heavy line and protects its secondary men to good advantage — The Greenport boys will meet their great est test this Sunday when they meet Farmlngdale on the alien grid ir o n — If they hurdle the West End aggregation, the way will be paved for another flag — The GreenportxHlgh School group lost their Initial tilt to a very strong Mepham eleven. COACHES’ DIRGE Lost, five varsity men, Alumni on my neck again. No flag for the school, and that’s the reason I’m building, character again this season. Apropos of What?; Last Sunday night’s heavy shower was only a Greenport Theatre publicity stunt for their showing of the new cinema “The Rains Came” — Southampton’s High School has so many colored lads on the football team that I’ll bet when Riverhead plays them on the traditional Turkey Day meeting and one of the County Seat players is tackled by a whfte boy his question will be: ‘‘Doctor Livingstone, I presume?'’ — When Frank Danowski filled out his Purdue junior year entrance card one of the questions was: “What is your nationality?” — His answer was: “Dunno, haven’t heard today’s news reports yet” — Can’t see why the gentlemen from below the Mason-Dixon line tolerate baseball — Abner Doubleday, father of baseball, fired the first Union shot of the Civil War — As Captain he fired the first shot from Fort Sumter In reply to the Confederate Bombardment, Charleston, 1861. Sportpourri: The lads ii; the Southold community have finally yielded to this hack writer’s exhortations and now are canvassing the opinions of the boys in regards to establishing a basketball team to represent the village — The Board of Education will be asked for the use of the high school gym — Ditto Island Jjowlers — Attempts have been made to organize the various bowling teams, namely: Mattituck, Southold, Greenport and Riverhead into an East End League — The Greenport High School and many other high schools have abandoned the huddle as a means of signal transmission for plays — Takes up too much time and argument which leads to confusion — Most of the elevens have adopted the staccato voice of the quarterback from a preliminary formation to designate plays — Mattituck High gave up the role of always-a-bridesmaid-but-never-a-bride to Bridgehampton in Section 5’s baseball social circle two years ago — And now it ap pears as though the Bridgies will-again be ladies in waiting for they have lost the services of Coach Williams, their ace molder of fine quintets — Passing no judgment on their new mentor, we believe that Williams was the only one that could develop teams with inferior material on that neck of the hinterlands — Coach Williams has as sumed duties at a West End institution — Greenport will have no excuse to drop any football tilts this season in Section 2 warfare — They have the best available material in many frosts — Coach Win ston Tuthill realizes this fully; both he and Coach Christianson are giving the lads their undivided attention — We select the Porter eleven to emerge undefeated in league contact. This Week in Local Sports: Wednesday, Oct. 4, Soccer, Mattituck vs. Eastport — Saturday, Oct. 7, Football, Greenport High School at Riverhead — Sunday, Oct. 8, Foot;ball, Greenport Rams at Farming- dale; a Suffolk County Town Team League contest — Every day and evening, bowling at Bill Theigat’s alleys; billiards and table tennis at the Cutchogue Recreation Center. Sportbits: Walt Hogan’s threat to wear the Saintly garb of the Westhampton football gentry was just so many keys striking the platen underneath a sport columnist’s copy paper — The fleetfooted Riverhead backfleld ace will again bear the Greenport Ram sceptre — In fact he was one of the main flgures who contributed to Amlty- ville’s ambush last Sabbath — Has any one ever said that victory is the ambrosia of the gridiron great? — Coach Goldsmith, Southold High mentor, will have a Section 5 basketball championship threat this season — Walker, Skwara and Ostroskl form the First Settler mainstay — Hampton Bays is always the unknown quantity in Sec tion 5’s basketball geometry, but with experienced men in the fold, expects to offer some very stiff competition to the rest of the pack — And now, make way for the coming mad mass hysteria for the football season Is on! GREENPORT TOWN TEAM FOOTBALL SCHEDULE SEASON 1939 Oct. 8 Greenport at Farmlngdale 15 Westhampton at Greenport 22 Greenport at Sayville 29 Greenport at Lindenhurst Nov. 6 Greenport at Ainityville 12 Farmlngdale at Greenport 19 Greenport at Westhampton 26 Sayville at Greenport Dec. 3 Lindenhurst at Greenport Soccer Season Eddie Slaga kicked Mattituck High’s first soccer title defense from a 1 to 0 defeat to a 1 to 1 tie with less than a minute of playing time left in the final pe riod of the Eastport-Mattituck match yesterday. The masterful boot tied the score after an amazing drive by the Blue and Gold to regain the goal scored by the Eastporters in the second quarter. Several at tempts showed Mattituck’s might in sending the ball in to paying territory, but the offense lacked the needed push to tally, muzzling the fine attempts of the stalwart fullbacks. Mattituck, East End champions of last season, are lacking several veterans of last season, but have proved the ,handicap not too great to overcome, and will meet Shel ter Island on October 20 at the local field in their next attempt to retain the East End crown. SOUTHOLD BOWLING LEAGUE ORGANIZES The Southold Bowling League held another organization meeting last Friday evening in the Fire House here. It was decided to use the Recreation Center’s alleys in Greenport for the league games, the two previous season games having been played there, where the boys feel very much at home.

Auto Accident Case Held For Grand Jury (Continued' from Page 1) section and had started cautiously across the road and while still in second speed was sideswiped by the sedan. His story was sup ported by Frank Peterson of Riv erhead, who said he was peddling apples that day and was seated in his machine which was parked in front of the Meyer residence on the southeast corner of the inter section. He said that he saw Kry- stoff stop, and then proceed. He also estimated the speed of the sedan to have been between 65 and 75 miles per hour. Another who testified was Frank J. Homan, brother of Supervisor Dennis G. Homan, who was eat ing his lunch in his home located on the northwest corner of the intersection, when he heard the screeching of skidding tires on the pavement. He ran out to see the sedan turn over and slide to a stop some 120 feet beyond the intersection. Flame ran along a path of spilled gasoline, said Ho man, and a moment later the car burst into a mass of fiames. He ran to the wreck and aided in the rescue of the only two person^ to be gotten out alive. Mrs. Homan also testified, and her testimony was substantially the same as that of her husband. The sole survivor of the tragedy is Harry DePetris, fruit and vege table store owner of Mattituck. Mr. DePetris lost his wife, daugh ter, sister, brother-in-law and a To improve your cup of coffee, some store managers in the mid dle west are being given a course in coffee granding by a coffee mill manufacturer.
