I THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1939 T H E WATCHMAN PAGE SEVEN* I THE SMOKEHOUSE ^ I By JOE SMOLENSKI Mattituck’s besketball lore was pulled out of moth balls last Mori' day evening at this office and the hoop lads made preparations for the coming cycle of competition — The new 1939-40 edition of basketball bouncers will start rehearsals immediately, in fact, Monday night at 7:30 p. m., and all interested are urged to don shorts and strut their stuff on the hardwood at the initial practice session — The lads itnani- mously appointed Hull Wickham business manager of the outfit and this columnar assistant — Tentative plans have Malcom Tuthili in the managerial capacity to coach the team from the floor — !« our humble estimation, Mai is a swell fellow for the position a'nd we hope he accepts the slot — He’s always followed the teams In past years with avid interest, and has a working knowledge of the game — He understands the liemperments of the various players and this should prove a great factor in having a closely knit organization Tor the fast approaching season — Every fellow at the meeting voiced his approval of Mai and they will undoubtably be disappointe'id if he declines — Coach Bob Mu3r, Thomas Kewin and John Heller of the Mattituck High School faculty were present at the confab and filed their Inten tions to perform for the town team — Step out fellows and give Mat- tituck a bang up five this season. Wanted: One aifable chap with a modicum of basketball savvy to immediately assume managerial responsibilities t!>f tfhe Mattituck town team — Must be willing to withstand general abuse, have a reasonable knowledge of child psychology, be a gradusEte -of the U. S. School of Diplomacy, and at times fill in as a magician — Physical examination required — Those subject to severe headaches, extreme nervousness, and apoplexy, need not apply — No stipend — Sleep in —padded cell — Phone, don’t write, your nearest basketball fan! But all kidding aslde^ fans, Mattituck needs the cooperation of every basketball enthusiast in order to floor a smooth running quin tet — in the past a few of our paying customers, unrmtentionally per haps, watited a Mexican army team of all generals — They coached the team from the sidelines and the procedure resulted in a band of players with one eye on the public, and the other sharing the basket and or'thodox hoop play — Let’s give the new coach every possible bit of encouragement and support. Sportpourri: Slim Mottus, popular Riverhead gendarme and basketball star of the same area, has assumed the task of recruiting hoopsters for a Riverhead town team this all and Winter — Box office anemia in the County Seat for the past two seasons curtailed inter town competition — Slim plans to enter his aggregation in the East ern Sunrise Basketball League — Locial fans sincer^y hope he’ll have material of the Pure Oil’s quintet calibre of late and Isftnented seasons — Hogan & Co., augmented by a few ex-high schools ball handlers, will cavort under the Mottus vexillum — Lloyd Masher, last season’s Eastern Sunrise Basketball League ,'prexy, will not be available for the office this yeaij — Commitments off New York State’s pedal ap pendage demand attention — Walt Hogan, Rams’ nimble backfleld ace, stuck his lunch hook into a flaming acetylene torch and con sequently will be out of action in the leather lemon loop. Sportnotes; Southold will attempt to gather together a suitable number of ball hawks to enter a basketball team in the Eastern Sun rise League — They’re presently negotiating for the use*of the high school gym — Many of the Cutchogue lads will probably drift east ward to 5 ,well the ranks of the new entry — Remember the famous Packard Hose five of the First Settler village years back? — It ap pears as though Jesse Goodale will cop the Cutcliogue Recreation Center’s ping pong trophy — He’s eliminated every worthy adver sary thus far — Attention Buddy Chew: There are three Southern boys In the vicinity of Riverhead that have the ear marks of good scrappers —* They act as tfuck Jockeys at the 'flower Block — It would be a good Idea to look them up — The time Is almost ripe for another set of Suffolk County A. A. U. bouts — Or perhaps entering them In the Golden Gloves would Justify our enthusiasm. Add Lines: Football is winging its way into mid-season form — The Rams extended their streak to three wins as they tossed Say- ville for a loss — However, Greenport cut short the unscored upon record as the pigskinners from the West End tallied a touchdown in the late minutes of the game — The high school group from the same village ripped through the papiermache line of Port Jefferson to the tune of 44-7 — The contest was played under the arcs and drew a sell-out crowd — The Eastern Sunrise Basketball League meets to night (Thursday) for installation of officers.

Crushes Shelter Islsind 8-0 Mattituck High School continued in its unbeaten soccer ways last Friday afternoon by taking the first year team from Shelter Is land by the overwhelming score of 8-0. The Blue and Gold lads began scoring with the opening kickoff by buiding the ball through the payoff gate for three goals in the very first few minutes of scrim mage. They also .tallied one in the second period and four in the third quarter, Stewart, Miloski, Duke, Grohoski and Ramik sparked Mattituck’s offensive drive. High for the day’s scoring laurels was Stewart with three boots past the goal keeper. Grohiski and Duke each tallied twice while Miloski pushed one through. The Mattituck boys virtually swamped the inexperienced Island group and centered the play in the opponents’ backyard during most of the afternoon. Only about twice during the contest was Jaz- ombek, the M. H. S. goalie, pest ered with activity, and at no time was the shutout status of the game threatened. The game was well played and although offering little competi tion, the Shelter Island team stub bornly resisted attack after attack and tenaciously himg on in an at tempt to score. Greenport Rams Smear Sayville Eleven 20-6 The whirlwind forces of the Greenport Rams extended their string of victories to three against no defeats this season as they pummeled the Sayville eleven last Sunday for a 20-6 win. A long final quarter pass of desperation from Kuzmack to Dental saved the Sayville gang from a shutout. Both teams remained deadlock ed in the first period of the game in a feeling out pi’ocedure with kicking prevalent. Greenport had the upper hand as they laid the foundation for the scoring attack to come. The Rams opened up in the sec ond frame when Keese unleashed a pass to Stanlaus who scooted over the goal line for the first tally. Keese converted from place ment lor the extra point. A few minutes later Keese again lugged the leather on an off tackle play that netted the second score. The point after touchdown was booted between the uprights by Keese. The score read in favor of Greenport, 14-0, at the end of the first half of the tilt. In the third quarter Keese again wound up and pitched the leather lemon for a score. Clark was on the business end of the heave and went over the toll line standing up. The conversion failed. The Rams fought with the rage of bulldogs in the final period in an attempt to preserve their un scored upon status. Fiedler, Keese, Corwin and Preston tackled their opponents with slam bang tactics and the game was thrilling to the spectators. The Sayville score came late in the final quarter as Kumack faded back and drifted a toss to Dental who nestled it in and went over the line for their only score. Keese was the most outstanding Green^orf- Cholks Up Four<^ Touchdowns in First Ten Minutes of Ploy; Misploy Gives Opponents Only Score Greenport High School’s highly underrated football eleven, scor ing almost at will and lashing out with the violence and fury of a tornado, roared through a hapless Port Jefferson High School team for a 44-7 victory in a night game under lights last Friday night at Greenport. The Porter outfit chalked up four touchdowns in the first ten minutes of ‘play' on two blocked kicks and ripping field maneuver ing before the bewildered Port Jefferson lads had time to get set. Greenport took Port Jefferson’s opening kickoff on the 20 yard stripe and went over for a score on eight successive plays as Mes- solene, their sensational triple threat backfield ace, crashed over from the 2 yard marker. The Porters again received and Mes- solene scooped up a well kicked ball and lugged it to the 35 yard line. A pass from Messolene to Clark good for 20 yards, and an end run brought the pigskin down to the 20 yard line. Messolene passed to Buckin for the second tglly. Both attempts for conver sion failed. Buckin kicked to Bennet and the ball got awgy while the Greenporters converged on him as he recovered on the 10. Bennet attempted to kick on second down and it was blocked by Buckin. Corazzini rushed in and pounced on the ball for a touchdown. A few minutes later the same thing occurred as Buckin again blocked Bennet’s attempted boot and the ever alert Corazzini nestled the ball under his body over the goal line. The pass for extra point was short. The score read 24-0 as the 15 yard line. Mills then went around left end for the fifth touch down. Kick for the point failed. The sixth score came as Buckin kicked to Thurbur and two at tempts to advance were thwarted. Greenport took the ball on the 20 on a poor kick and Messolene brought the ball down to the 2 yard line. A short pass, Messo lene' to Buckin, made the score board read Greenport 37, Port Jefferson 0. Coach Tuthill again sent his reserves into play and a third quarter misplay set up Port Jef ferson’s only touchdown. The op portunity came when Greenport’s offense was stopped and the ball sailed past the secondary men on a play which appeared to be mis understood by the backfield men. The ball rolled to the Greenport 15 and was recovered by Port Jefferson. On the first play Remy- zewski was thrown for a 4 yard' loss; Bennet picked up three on the next play and a pass from Bennet to Stadnicki netted 15 yards. Remyzewski plunged over from the 1 yard line for the score. Remyzewski’s placement for the extr^ point was good. Score at third quarter ending Greenport 37, Port Jefferson 7. Messolene passed to Don Pem berton for the last score. The ball was defiected off a Port Jefferson man and Pemberton took it on. the bound. Messolene smashed over for the extra point, and the final score read Greenport 44, Port Jefferson 7.
