Playing-coach Sammy Brit-ton is expected to call upon Bill Prouch to face the Baltimore nine, which annually produces one of the strongest Negro teams in the country. The Ocean county nine scored its only arclight triumph over the House- of David and has dropped games to the Red Bank Towners, Brooklyn Royal Colored Giants, New York Black Yankees and Jacksonville Eagles.

BEST GOLF VXU at the bhore this year is Ben Yasko of the Home-steacf links. The former Fort Monmouth course instructor has shared first place twice in the Jersey Shore Golf league outings and gained it outright once in three rimes running.

National Football league, sat back in his comfortable chair in his new Wanamassa home and chuckled when we fired this question at him: "Do you plan to have your three boys play football?" The former all-state star at South River high school and twice all-American at Fordham university didn't waste any time with his answer, explaining, "These kids of mine are all going to play football as soon as they're old enough." That revelation should come as good news to Asbury Park high school's future football squads, since all three of the Wojciechowicz offsprings will enter the city high school when of age. During the early 30s Alex Wojciechowicz terrorized New Jersey's scholastic ranks with his vicious tackling and in the early 50s his oldest son, Alex, who is nine now, may follow in his father's footsteps in a Blue and Black uniform altho Pop isn't so sure he will be a center. Also Has Cheerleader Wojie, as Alex is called by his teammates, hasn't decided on which positions his two other sons will play, since their not quite old enough to engage in drills yet. Raymond is three years old, while Mike is only 10 months. The Wojies also have a cheerleader on the squad in seven-year-old Lillian.

The 31-year-old gridiron standout, who leaves tomorrow night for Saraneck Lake to begin drills with the Eagles Sunday, first moved to the Shore last December when he rented a home in Elberon and then bought his new permanent residence at 1800 North Wanamassa drive in March. "You can't beat the Shore, explained Wojie, I always wanted to live here when I was a kid." He plans to commute daily when the Eagles are at home.

Horseshoe's lead over the Oilers was reduced to one full game, and it left the door open for either or both tHe Oilers and Matty's Bar to tie Horseshoe for the regular-season crown. Horseshoe Inn can wrap up the regular-season diadem by beating the Murray Cardinals in its final fray next week, but if it loses and the Oilers win their remaining game and Matty's Bar captures its two remaining tilts a triple tie will result.

He Chose To Go Down Fighting COMES OUT FOR the first time that Alfie Ferruggiaro, one of the best basketball players in these parts before he lost his life in the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942, had a choice between a soft job in the army or active war service in the navy. Belmar Commissioner John Ferruggiaro, brother of Alfie, told the story at the banquet held Tuesday night at the Anchorage restaurant, Belmar, in honor of the Belmar Democrats, champions of the Monmouth-Ocean County Basketball league. According to Commissioner Ferruggiaro, Alfie was approached by an army officer early in 1942.

The officer, learning of the Belmar Democrats outstanding court ability, wanted the basketball star to spend his term in the service playing for an army post team. But the answer Alfie returned was typical of a personality that made him one of the most-liked performer in the Monmouth-Ocean county circuit. Said Alfie: "I'm sorry, I can't accept the offer, John. If go into the service I want to go in fighting. I just wouldn't feel right with a soft job here while all my friends are in the middle of the action." Alfie joined the navy shortly after and on Nov.

12-13, during a night sea engagement with the Jap fleet around the island of Guadalcanal, one of the most bitter struggles in the war annals of the U.S. navy, the Belmar youth went down with the light cruiser Juneau, only a few months after he had enlisted. It's a story of an American boy who played against his better judgment because the rules of sportsmanship made it a necessity. The war was a fighting proposition, just as a basketball game is a struggle for victory and Alfie wanted an active part in the game. We venture to say none was surprised to hear the decision Alfie Ferruggiaro made.

He was just that kind of a guy. Low and Williams had the only perfect scores in any division. SI. T. R.
