I gathered here and there Art Cuccurullo living in Point Pleasant and tending bar at Sammy Britton's tavern there Marty Servo working as a car salesman In his 15 in Rotation In 2 Seasons Schellenger Cagers Go On Scoring Spree After Neptune Leads, 13-9 MANASQUAN. Manasquan high school's rampaging basketball team, going on two scoring spurts in the middle periods that took tha heart out of the opposition, continued to reign as No. 1 contender for the Shore Conference championship last night by whipping a scrap py Neptune high quintet, 44-32, be-fore an overflow crowd in the Manasquan gymnasium. The victory marked the four straight triumph of the season for the Big Blue cagers, their second in the conference this year and the 15th contest in succession Manasquan has won in regular league play In two seasons.

Manasquan, which copped the regular season title in the conference a year ago, finished the campaign with 13 straight victories last season. The Scarlet Fliers, despite the efforts of Sal Grasso and Mel Sespedes, were in the contest only twice against Manasquan last night. And on both occasions the Big Blue shooters rolled up a string of points that left Neptune struggling to keep up. Starts Rally The Big Blue's first scoring spree, netting 12 points in all, came after Neptune had taken a 13-9 lead on shots by Grasso and Evans near tha end of the first quarter. But after Don Greer sank two shots In succession to tie the score, Manasquan broke away and piled up a big, 21-13 lead in the middle of the second period on baskets by Frank Fairfax.

wite. cisetc ana ureer. Sespedes, who with Grasso tallied 11 points each in the game, sank two foul shots to snap the Manasquan string and then later dropped in a long shot and a layup to bring the Scarlet Fliers within four points of the lead at 25-21 in the beginning of the third quarter. But here again Coach John Schellenger's basketeers broke loose, going on another scoring rampage that brought them 10 points in succession and a 35-21 lead at the start of the fourth period. A foul and a pivot shot by Greer started the Big Blue moving again and after Bill Donigan made a foul shot, Fairfax a basket from the side, Greer a layup and Donigan another field goal, Neptune fell hopelessly behind.

Grasso, Sespedes, Evans and Dom Arnone gave Neptune an impressive fourth period that enabled the Fliers to gain an 11-9 edge in the session, but it only served to reduce the final outcome as the Big Blue coasted merrily to the finish. Neptune Ahead 13-9 Neptune's best period was tha first, in which it battled Manasquan toe to toe thruout. After Eisle sank two layup shots to give the Big Blue a 4-0 lead, Grasso and Sespedes tied the count a minute later. Donigan and Evans traded Ishots mi then Arnone save tha FluerLtheir 'vantage, 8-6, 1 A Greer, however, came back with a foul and a field goal to regain tha lead for Manasquan and then Grasso and Evans made five points in a row 10 give JNeptune a 13-9 margin. After Evans' shot, Greer.

Fairfax and Elsele garnered 12 points in succession and Manasqun was on it way to another victory. Eisele and Greer finished the game with 14 points each, getting six nem goais ana two touts.

Item One It's cheaper and more satisfactory to maintain a few playgrounds and gymnasiums than an equal number of courts and Jails. It's cheaper than paying premiums on insurance against theft and destruction For that reason any business man or householder should be willing to kick In a few bucks to provide these facilities But that Isn't the best reason for contributing The best reason is that every youngster deserves the right to have some fun and to grow up with the right ideas.

Item Two A program of sports and recreation, properly conducted, is a great Inducement to a boy or Rirl to stay on the right side New York's Police Athletic league program has proved this. Plans in other cities have shown similar results In every ease there are certain basic requirements: The programs must be made attractive and the beneficiaries must understand that participation is a privilege dented to them If they misbehave. There must be adequate facilities and equipment and more than adequate leadership. Item Three Facilities: A sandlot or an Conference Passing Laurels Shared by Graham, Dobbs rulks. who was sixth a week ago, moved another Detroiter, Johnny Janisch, out of second place.

Janish has 300 points and he Is followed by Max Zaslofsky, Chicago, 278; Leo Rlebe, Cleveland. 274: Chuck Halbert, Chicago, 264; and Brooms Abramovic, Pittsburgh. 248. Miasek continues as the leading basketmaker with 126 field goals while Halbert paces the free throwers In one-pointers with 84. Providence's Ernie Calverly is the leading playmaker with 57 assists.

Ed Sadowskl, former player-coach of the Toronto Huskies who early In the season was among the leading scorers, got back In the groove last night In his new strictly player role with the Cleveland Rebels. The Rebels defeated Sadowskl's old team, the Huskies, 78-62 at Cleveland. Sadowskl and Frankie Baumholtz set the pare with 18 points each, their sharp-shooting proving decisive after the Huskies had battled the Rebels on even terms for three periods. In the only other league game last night, Detroit's Falcons lost their fourth straight as the Warriors romped to a 57-49 triumph at Philadelphia. The Warriors pulled away In the third period and coasted In with second stringers.

The Falcons' Miasek and Janisch collected 24 points between them to remain the No. 1 and No. 3 scorers In the league, while Fulks added 13 to retain his No. 2 spot. High scorer of the evening was warrior forward Angelo Musi with 14.

21 Eastern Stars Head for Frisco CHICAGO, Twenty-four college football players from IS Eastern and Midwestern schools today headed for San Francisco. where they are to play for the east team In the annual East-West Shrine game on New Year's day. The group left here last night after meeting at Northwestern university's Dyche stadium to receive practice equipment and lis ten to talks by Coaches Andy Kerr of Colgate and Bernle Bierman of Minnesota. Kerr, who has retired as Colgate coach, has been a co-coach of the east team since 1927 and Bierman has been affiliated with the game since 1938. The game is for the benefit of the Shrine hospital for crippled children.

Item Four This normally-light column hasn't said everything about the subject and may not have said it In the best way, but we hope this will help to induce every reader to support existing sports programs or to create them where they don't exist It will take a lot of large and small scale planning, a lot of work and a lot of money As for that, see Item One.
