Crowd Expected Flushing High's rollicking Red

Devils return to Memorial Field tomorrow to resume their grid schedule with New Dorp of Staten Island. The Red and "White, vic­torious over Adams, 7-0, at Dexter Park last week in the annual Queens title feud, is heavily fa­vored over the Richmond invaders.

Coach Bob Fulton yesterday an­nounced he will start the same team' against the men of Coach Frank Cassidy as he trotted out against the Presidents. That means that Phil Bendish will, be back at end, John Fay, a back, will be at center and Pete Lopez will fill In. at right tackle.

Bendish replaced George Nuzzer, Fay took over Bull Shuller's spot and Lopez supplanted Izzy Fritzsom

New Dorp, which has dropped four games in as many starts, ap­pears the weak sister on the Red Devils' schedule. The team was buried under a 40-0 score by an ag­gressive Manual Training eleven last Saturday at Red Hook Stadium.

In view of the fact that Flush­ing will use 'some of the players the coaching staff has been saving for Great Neck in the season's finale two weeks hence, one of the largest crowds of the campaign Is ex­pected.

Aerials Are Expected Flushing, which winged its way

to victory over Adams through the air lanes, is expected to cut loose with a new set of aerial plays with Bill O'Fee and Joe Maurice the hurlers. O'Fee, incidentaOy, hurled the 27-yard touchdown pass to Maurice at Dexter Park to trim Adams.

Henry Curtin will again call the signals and George Altman will handle the fullback assignment.

The Flushing line, reading from left to right, will offer Bendish, Frank Dugan, formerly of Bishop Loughlin; Bill Morrison, Fay, Bill Mayer, Lopez and Tom Cavanaugh.

Coach Cassidy, according to ad­vices from Staten Island last night, intends shuffling his lineup for the invasion of Memorial Field. „ He will use Potterfield at quarter and Ed Smith, his best back, at full.

The New*Dqrp line is weighty, three of the lads tipping the scales in the neighborhood of 200 pounds.

St* Albans Five Set for Tussle With Triangles Sailors Boast Strong Group

of Former Collegians and Pros

What promises to be one of the outstanding attractions of the sea­son is scheduled for tonight at the Franklin K. Lane High School when the St. Elizabeth Triangles play host to the St. Albans Naval Hos­pital quintet.

This will be the first game of the season for the Sailors, who prom­ise to establish a commendable rec­ord in local court circles.

Packed with an all-star array of performers, the visitors will prove a serious 'threat to the Elizabet hmen's two-game winning streak. Perhaps the best-known member to local court fans is Jackie Ourran, a for­mer St. Elizabeth ace who will re­turn to play against his former mates. In addition, the Sailor five will be composed of former college and pro league aces.

Heading the collegiate array will be Jacobs of Cornell, Ori of New York University and Sierra of Mich­igan State. The pro game will be represented by Reagan, Cody, Gren-ner, Karharski and Tarpinian. The latter is a recent transfer from the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta­tion.

Jack Roche, mentor of the Eliza-bethmen, announced two new addi­tions to his squad during the week. The newcomers are 'Billy Neppell and Eddie Yost. Neppell played with St. Elizabeth for a brief spell last year but was forced to leave when it interfered with his work. Yost, a former John Adams athlete, is battling for a starting berth on the New York University cage squad.

Hockey Season Opens Tuesday Hawks Meet Arma in Ice

Palace Debut

The hoejteiy season gets under way locally on Election Night, when the Metropolitan League opens its campaign at the Brooklyn Ice Pal­ace.

The Jamaica Hawks will meet the Arma Torpedoes, defending cham-pion«, in the first game, scheduled for 8 o'clock. The 10 o'clock fray will bring together the Sands Point Tigers and the Manhattan Arrows.

Considerable interest has b e e n sho--.'n in the coming season and a large crowd is expected to witness the opening clashes.

The Naval Armed Guard Center has just announced through Lieu­tenant William J. Pitt, athletic di­rector of the unit, that they are en­tering a teian in the Met League. Interest in hockey at the Naval post was stimulated mainly through the efforts of Sam LoPrestt, former­ly a star foalie for the Chicago Black Hawks' professional team, and now stationed at the Brooklyn post. LoPresta, i t will be remembered, was only recently rescued a f t e r spending 4? days in a lifeboat fol­lowing a torpedoing at sea. The Navy team will make their first league appearance on Nov. 9 at the Palace, .when they will cross sticks with the Manhattan Arrows.

Madison Square Garden opens its doors to the amateur hockey fans on Sunday, Nov. 7, when the Man­hattan Arrows will clash with the Sands Point Tigers in the curtain-raiser. The second game will mark the debut of the New York Rovers against an Eastern Amateur League opponent. The opposition for the Rovers will not be definitely known for several days, pending final work from New fiaven regarding their expected entrance into the league. Should New Haven ice a team, they will undoubtedly be the opening day opponents for the Rovers.

SacramentS Opens Tonight With most of last year's veterans

in the armed forces, the Blessed Sacrament Big Five will put an entire new team on the court to­night in the inaugural of the 1943-44 season at the Blessed Sacrament Auditorium in . Cypress Hills. The St. Sylvester C. C. will furnish the opposition in the curtain raiser, game time being set for 9 P. M.

The Sacrament quintet has just concluded three weeks of strenu­ous workouts under the' direction of Father Cornelius J. Pigott, the team's moderator, and Coach Al Po-daris. Both are confident their charges will come out on top in to­night's test.

Heading the array of candidates thus far are Bill Downing, "Fizz" McCormack, Don Knight, Franny Hand, Bill Farrell, Jack Mahoney and Freddy Blind. In addition, Po-daris has his eye set on several other, likely prospects whome he ex­pects to sign in a few days.

Last season the Sacrament team played on Sunday afternoons in the Blessed Sacrament School Audi­torium, but because of the present coal shortage it was decided tp transfer to Friday nights in order to take advantage of the heat gen­erated during the day for the regu­lar school session, thereby elimi­nating the necessity of heating the auditorium just for basketball.

Robins' Coach Predicts Win Over St. Joan

Unbeaten Rivals Will Clash in Alliance Tilt on

Sunday St. Joan of Arc might be ruling

the Queens Football Alliance with three wins in as many starts, but when the darkness envelopes Queens Park Sunday night the Cru­saders will be listed among the beaten teams, predicted Dan O'Con­nor, the coach of the amazing Flush­ing Robins last night in discussing the possibilities of his team's chances in the important game with the Jackson Heights eleven.

O'Connor feels his team, which beat the Ridgewood Bulldogs and Ascension and tied the Laurelton Jones Boys, has met superior op­position than St. Joan. The Cru­saders have scored over the Flush­ing Buccaneers, Flushing Aces and Woodside Robins.

Of course, the management of St. Joan of Arc insists Dan is slightly off the beam in his prediction and it contends that the Crusaders, in spite of what is being said out Flushing way, will ring up No. 4 and hold undisputed possession of first place at the halfway juncture of the 1943 race.

The largest turnout of the season is expected to be on hand for the clash at Queens Park between the unbeaten rivals. Both teams are airsminded, but also can gallop along the ground. A free-scoring game is expected.

Nish Bajakin, the hard-hitting back of the Robins, will be a lad well covered by the Crusaders, ac­cording to word from the St. Joan of Arc camp last night. Jack Brad^y, Larry Murray, Bob Sexauer, Wally Gruber, Charlie Mann, Vinnie Lee and Wally Mahan are other big guns in the Robins squad likely to cause trouble for the home eleven.

St. Joan of Arc will use the same starting lineup that worked against the Flushing Aces in the grim bat­tle played last Sunday.

Coach Heinz Del Giorno, whose Flushing Buccaneers worked out last night at Leavitt's Park, re­ported the acquisition of a pair of backs, Joe Richter and Johnny Maz-za. The Bucs will work again to­night at Leavitfs Park. The Bucs will play the, Jones Boys at Sher­wood Oval on Sunday.

Ascension, which has won its last two games after bowing to the Flushing Robins, will take on the Flushing Aces, at Rego Park on Sunday. At Farmers Oval, Glendale, the Ridgewood Bylldogs will op­pose the Woodside Robins.

The Bulldogs, according to an announcement by Coach Dink Kauff-man last night, will hold a workout tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. The Bulldogs are being reorganized after a minor riot following last Sunday's game.

Score by 41-26 Over L a n e in Loop Opener Vic Casazza Posts Spark-

ling Time in 50-Yard Freestyle

Richie Sierer's Far Rock-away High swimming team, last year's league doormat, awoke with a vengeance yes­terday and pried off the 1943- * 44 P.S.A.L. lid with a crushing 41-26 victory over Franklin K. Lane in the winners' pool.

It was a complete reversal of form over last year, when the County Liners posted a 34-33 •win. Sierer's lads scored almost a t will in five of the eight events, dropping only the medley relay, the 220-yard freestyle and the fancy dive. Lane assumed a short­lived advantage by copping the first event, the medley, but became meek enough after Vic Casazza and Val Vogel, the Beachmen's ace sprinters, came through with whirl­wind performances.

Casazza, who looks like the pick of the Queens 50-yard freestylers, romped home to an easy victory in his specialty, finishing ahead of Charles Arnold of Lane vand Far Rockaway's John Barry. Despite the lack of competition, Casazza turned in the near-record time of :25 seconds.

Sierer has been keeping Casazza under wraps all year, but It's no secret that the Beachmen's cap­tain can break :25 with ease if he has someone to push him.

Vogel's 100 Surprises Just as impressive as Casazza's

win and more of a surprise was the showing of Val Vogel in the 100-yard freestyle. He threw one of Lane's aces, Ken Stamp, to swim against, but copped the event in 1:01, a full second better than George Van Dor-molen's winning time in last Janu­ary's city championships. Thomas O'Connell of Far Rockaway finished behind Stamp for third money.

Two more surprising times came in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard backstroke, both won by the Beachmen. Arthur Schwartz took the former in 1:34 seconds, while Hal Minette turned in a mark of 1:16 for the dorsal race. Al­though neither of tJhese marks ap­proaches the spectacular, it must be remembered that the distance for both events has been lengthened this year and it was a bit strange to the performers.

Schwartz had a comparatively easy time in the breaststroke, ex­periencing his only competition from Teammate Erik Potottiban, who nosed out Don DeBoer of Lane for second place. Minette, how­ever, was stacked against the Coun­ty Liners' captain, Ray Anwater, and barely won. Jim Orff, Far Rockaway, finished third.

Vets Win Relay The Seasiders' other victory came

in the 200-yard relay, when a vet­eran team composed of Phil Gor­don, William Skelly, Steve Hanni-gan and Hal Silliman scored easily in 2:00. The Lanemen offset this by capturing the 150-yard medley. Henry Anwater, Ed Kramke and Jim Beviloque negotiated the dis­tance in 1:50.

Dick Linedman of Lane upset Francis Daly of Far Rockaway in the 220, winning in the slow time of 2:55. William Klein of the Beach-men was third.

In the fancy dive, Henry Schmidt of Lane barely nosed out Al Ott, the Seasiders' No. 1 man, scoring 3416 points to Ott's 34. Lane's Jim Bollbach was third with 29 points.

Far Rockaway will receive its big test next Friday when it tackles Bayside's powerhouse at the Sea­side pool. Lane plays host to Rich­mond Hill, the current Queens fa­vorite, next Thursday.
