Y. O. Basketball League's inaugural games played as preliminaries to the Wilmington Blue Bombers-Brooklyn Indians clash last night at the State Armory. The teams vanquished service clubs in the loop's opening games. St.

Ann's repulsed Fort DuPont, 36-14, and Christ Our King squad vanquished Edge Moor Coast Guard in a hard-fought tussle, 23-26. St. Ann's, with several veterans of C. Y. O.

and Industrial League competition in the lineup, romped over Fort DuPont in easy fashion, doubling the Soldiers in field goals, 14-7. nenry aaatuszewski, Don Gleasner, and Joe Borecki notched seven points each to pace St. Ann's to its conquest. Christ Our King led all the way, taking a 14-8 margin at the end of the first half. The service men made up most of the difference in the closing minutes of the second half.

EDGE MOOR O.ICHRIST OUR KING first five minutes. The locals went on top, 7-5, on Moe Frankel's long shot at this stage, and never relin-; quished the advantage. Indeed, there seemed little doubt as to the all-around superiority of Coach Barney Sedran's team. The Indians were outgeneraled on the floor and once behind they lagged by several points until a last-minute flurry pulled them within a point of tying up the ball game. Field Goal Provides Edge However, at the finish, the Bomb-; ers' advantage amounted to one field goal.

The Blue and White-clad cagers connected for 14 action baskets, while the Indians totalled 13. They were even from the charity circle at. eight. But from all indications. Sedran has moulded another powerful squad to represent Wilmington in the circuit.

Big Ed Sadowski, key man in the title-winning combination of two years ago, was plainly "off" on his shots around the basket, while Charley Hoefer was far below his usual standard of accuracy on distance shots. Had Sadowski and "Hoefer been up to par, the contest would have been a romp for the home team. Sedran. apparently groping for the right combination, used every member of his squad except Ed Boyle, although Charley Rosenthal was in the game only for a moment. Angelo Musi Star Starter Of the newcomers.

Angelo Musi was the stickout. The former Temple Owl hit the cords for three field goals, which was equalled by Hoefer and Steve Juenger. Juenger looked especially adept on pivot shots, his chief stock in trade. Scoring honors of the night fell to Ossie Schectmann, formerly of the Sphas, who hit the hoops four times from the floor and converted three penalty chances for 11 points. However, it was bald Mac Kins-: brunner, who played the floor game for the Flatbush ensemble.

Mac, with the Bombers for a part of the 1941-42 season, gave a clever exhibition of floor work, sharing this part of the laurels with Moe Frankel, his rival captain. To- Paul Chadick, lone homebred on the floor, fell the honor of scoring Wilmington's first point and first field goal. This scoring was done by Chadick in the opening mo-ments while Paul also had two assists to give a good account of himself in the first 15 minutes of play. Bombers Protect Margin Wilmington led, 18-12, at the end of the first quarter which was marked by set shots by Brooklyn and Wilmington's two-pointers around the basket. Substitutions slowed the scoring in the second period with Brooklyn holding the edge, 8-6.

Wilmington held a 31-23 lead in the third period as Musi counted twice in rapid succession but five points by Rabin and a basket by Schectmann pulled the Indians up to 31-30. However, Sadowski banged in a two-pointer and added a foul which with another ace by Ben Goldfaden enabled the Bombers to pull away Just before Sadowski went out on five personals. Juenger service Calls Deplete a Plaver Rosters Baseball Men Beginning To Wonder Where They Will Find Manpower By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (U.P.). Major league baseball'-officials, determined to carry on in 1944.

ar? beginning to wonder where they are going to find the manpower. Hardly a day passes when some roster is not riddled by the call of the armed forces. In the space of 24 hours this week four men all key players to their team were called or inducted, if that rate continues, the club owners may be hard put to find enough 4-F players and men over 38 to field nine men. Certainly they won't be able to do it without depleting the rosters of the surviving minor leagues to such an extent as to jeopardize their wartime future. Barring an official government request to discontinue, the majors are pledged to carry on so long, as Com-1 missioner Kensaw Mountain Landis put it, as they can "put nine men on the field." I Full Rosters Doubtful I It seems certain that most clubs will have to get along without the i full rosters to which they have be- come accustomed.

There were times last year when some teams, notably i the Philadelphia Phillies, were I forced to operate far short of the allotted player strength. That club owners were concerned over the manpower problem became evident at the annual draft meeting at Chicago. Several clubs failed to draft a single player, presumably because they wanted to sit back to 1 tee wnao men stiu win oe outside the draft calls by next spring! The clubs that did participate failed to draft the usual number of players, not willing to gamble the draft price of $7,500 against the possibility of the purchased player being induct-I ed. i The call of married men. some of whom have worked in defense plants during the off-season sur-i prised some baseball officials.

They had figured that those men would escape the draft at least until they i relinquished their jobs to report i for spring training. The Worrying' Calls The calls which really put the 1 baseball men to worrying this week 1 were those of Mickey Witek, Tommy Bridges, Hiram Bithorn, and Oris Hockett.

As the end aDDroaches for the football sea son a remarkably successful grid i year considering war restrictions traditional battles take the center of the stage. In other years these rivalries could be called upon to produce several upsets in the waning days of the season. This season, however, with most of the top flight stars playing under other college colors, in manv cases against schools they formerly attended, the do-or-die spirit may be missing and so may the upsets, For those who like to wager a i bob or two on their alma mater, i here are the approximate odds on tomorrow's games. In the East, Army is 9-5 over Sampson Navy; Yale 8-5 over Prince-; ton; Dartmouth 7-5 over Cornell; Pennsylvania 2-1 over North Caro- una: Perm State 3-1 over Temple; Holy Cross 2-1 over Villanova (Sun- day; Navy 8-1 over Columbia, and Rutgers 2-1 over Lehigh.

12 (INS). Frit-zie Zivic, veteran Pittsburgh welterweight, will engage in his fourteenth Madison Square Garden main event tonight when he clashes with New York Middleweight Jake Lamotta in uiu imsui uc fuiiiro last fight, since the Pittsburgher, al- ready 31 years old, reports to his 1, h0me t0wn draft board Sunday for a screen test Zivic and Lamotta have met twice before, each gaining a decision. Lamotta was given the first nod in a 10-rounder last June 10, and Zivic bounced back to take the next decision in a 15-rounder on July 12. Both bouts were held in Fritzie's home town. Lamotta, who distinguished himself chiefly with a victory over Welterweight Sugar Ray Robinson, who was reputedly unbeatable, has been fighting out of his class for a year.

He will have a weight advantage of about 10 pounds when he crawls through the ropes tonight. Princeton Set to Keep New Haven Sequence PRINCETON. N. Nov. 12 (T.

Yale will be out to break a sequence, and Princeton to preserve it. when the Tiger and the Blue meet in New Haven tomorrow. Not snice 1937 has a Yale football team beaten Princeton at New Haven, and the score that rainy Cray was 26-0. Princeton, counting on Its parsing game as its strongest point, has been drilling all week on that strategy. The Tigers went through their last heavy workout last night in preparation for the 67th meeting with the Bulldog in a series that started in 1873.

Coach H-arry Mahnkeri's boys were put through a passing drill on both the offensive and defensive. Army Instructors Set Two New Skeet Marks SAN ANTONIO. Nov. 12 1). Army, gunnery instructors, preparing for an Army-Navy skeet contest at Brooks Field Sunday, shattered two world's skeet records within a fc-v minutes.

Vic Reinders and Lieut. Tom Sharp of Brooks set a new two-man record of 394 out of a possible 400 targets. Then Capt. Lie Braun and Sergt. Dick Shaughnessy of Laredo's skeet team, lifted the mark to 395.

A recent fijrht between Juan Zurita and Young Finnegan in ranama drew a record crowd of 12,000. Looks as if it might pay some of our pro athletes to investigate this good neighbor business especially since they say that, due to Mexico City's high altitude, curve balls become mere wrinkles and a 400-foot hit is nothing unusual.

While they're talking about bringing California cities into the big leagues after the war, why not Mexico City, too? Seaman Phil Muscatn, Buffalo middleweight, has packed on so much weight at the Sampson avai iraining station ne ex- week-end, Boss Art Ross of the Bruins was summoned to the telephone by a newspaperman, who told him that his son. Art, had shot up two German barges in France. Replied Ross: "I'm glad somebody in the family is doing well, we're taking a pasting here right now." Alvin Dark of Southwestern Louisiana Institute, rated by some experts as the best back in the South, also is a good enough shortstop to be a big league prospect, a good golfer, and one of the best basketball players ever to show at Louisiana State, where he played before the Marines shifted him to S. L. I.

TODAY'S GUEST STAR Billy Kelly, Buffalo Courier-Express: "The idea that a man is able to play baseball or football but can't pass his draft board physical has been the subject of considerable scoffing. But records show that even in normal times many ballplayers have many ills. Bellyaches are so common in baseball that it is almost an occupational shortcoming. In fact, bellyaches on the bench are the chief cause of headacHes among managers and in the front office." Marine officers set four new world pistol shooting records in a registered tournament on the Quantico, range the other day. When he enlisted in the Army, Dave Jiminez, former high school football and track man from Fresno, had fought two amateur bouts and last them both.

Now, under the coaching of Pfc. Bernie Reyes, Dave has become the outstanding middleweight of Camp Kohler. with nearly a dozen victories in a row. Don Gorman, who'll play center for Columbia against Navy tomorrow, served 20 months in the Navy before entering the V-12 program. He was stationed at a West Indies "lease-lend" island base before coming: to Columbia as a lease-lend player.

New Denver Fight Cluh Plans Pastor Comeback DENVER, Nov. 12 (INS). Private Bob Pastor may make a comeback fight in Denver some time next month, if plans being formulated today mature. The former heavyweight championship contender is being considered as one of the main attractions on a card to be staged by the newly- formed Denver Sports Association. Denver is the only major city where Army regulations permit Pastor to enter a bout, inasmuch as he is not allowed to travel more than 25 miles from his station at Port.

Tribuani Bills Five Man Bout Battle Roval Will Provide Action on Club Card Sportsmen's at Armory The battle royal, once a highlight of boxing cards, will be revived next Tuesday night by the Wilmington Sportsmen's Club on its inaugural indoor card at the State Armory, Tenth and DuPont Streets. Announcement was made today by Ralph Tribuani. matchmaker for the club, that the battle royal will be staged between the semi-windup and windup bouts. Five huskies will be put into the ring, one in each corner and one in the center.

Tribuani is lining up five boys who have had previous experience with the gloves and is stressing punching ability. The battle royal is expected to provide plenty of action and amusement, but the boxing end of the bill is not being overlooked. Tribuani plans to provide two six-rounders, and two or three four-rounders. The feature is the eight-round windup which will introduce Tufly Cummings of Baltimore, British Royal Navy product, and Johnny Marino, up and coming Washington, D. C.

lightweight. Cummings, due to his split decision victory over George (Dusty) Brown, Wilmington 135-pounder. will be the center of attraction, but advance reports in- dicate Marino as a possible surprise package. Brown will be on hand to challenge the winner and he hopes he will be Cummings. The Duster desires revenge.

That close to "most ancient" scholastic football rivalry between Wilmington High School and Chester High School, forerunner of all Chester-Wilmington feuds, which comes up for annual settlement to-' morrow on the Red Devils' gridiron, Alfred I. duPont Field on McKee's Hill, developed a counterpart in semi-pro football ranks today.

A letter from Chester touched oft a controversy which is likely to go unless something 'is done about it on the field of athletic endeavor where most arguments of this nature are, and should be, answered for good and all. The letter such things are not new and used to be more frequent than now came to yours truly from Fermin C. Pompili of Chester, manager of the Lamokin Cubs. The Cubs, sporting an undefeated record for more than two seasons, running through 1941 and 1942. and until their third game of 1943 when they ran into the Wilmington Arrows, one of the few, if any.

Field Judge W. F. Tewhill. Brown. PHILADELPHIA, Nov.

12 (Special). Pennsylvania, hoping to rebound from its defeat by Navy last Saturday, meets North Carolina's resurgent eleven tomorrow afternoon on Franklin Field, in the fifth game of the series. The kickoff will be at 2 o'clock. Victors over Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Lakehurst, and Columbia, and tied by Army, the Red and Blue had its undefeated record sullied last week by the potent Navy eleven. The Tarheels have a record of four victories over Pemi State, Jacksonville Navy, North State, and South Carolina, and two defeats by Duke and Georgia Tech.

They have shown considerable improvement the past three weeks. North Carolina's 200-pound line, led by Barney and Oliver Poole, cousins, and Ralph Strayhorn, All-Southern guard all season, is regarded as one of the best in the South. With Ed Teague, Hosea Rodgers, and Jack Fitch, outstanding backs, the eleven from below the Mason-Dixon line will be as tough for Pennsylvania as Dartmouth, Army and Navy. 'Home Folks' Will See Villanova Co-CapUuii PHILADELPHIA. Nov.

-Wilmington by Semi-Pros in Wilmington, in the Arrows' own backyard, as it 'twas, to provs their contention mat tneir prevnus ae teat, 8 to 0, by the way, wa3 a "fluke." We haven't enough space nor time to go into complete detail right here and now but a few quotes from Mr. Pompili's epistle should suffice. Sez he 'They (the Arrows' defeated us last month 8-0 for our first loss in three seasons. During this period we had a string of 20 wins (tears, tears, tears). Our followers here in Chester (not to mention Mr.

Pompili and the Lamokin Cub players) insist the Wilmington Arrows' victory was a fluke. They are clamoring for a return game. They scored on us on an intercepted pass and on a bad pass from center (safety). "We understand they have been crowing about that win but we'll bet. and bet plenty, they'll eat crow if they ever give us another chance and we think that chance would be best right down in Wilmington.

"For sportsmanship we should have the opportunity to wipe that black mark off our record. Have the Arrows a record like ours? Have they any spunk? Have they any sportsmanship? We'll play them for anything, for their uniforms, if they only give us the chance?" Is it necessary for us to dd another question "What say you, you Arrows?"

Manager Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, said today Chief Bender, pitching star of some of the A's greatest teams, was returning to the club. Mack didnot say in what capacity Bender would appear but it as thought he will coach young pitchers.

Mack squelched rumors Al Simmons would return to the A's as a coach next year. Bender managed the Wilmington Blue Rocks for part of the 1940 season and has bsen a frequent visitor to Wilmington Park. straight victories while shackling op position with a total of 31. Eight ball-carriers led by Creigh-ton Miller's 8.1 average, Jim Mello's 5.9 and Julie Rykovich's 5.8 have accumulated a net rushing gain of ar1 a Pile af Still. the team's most startling mode of attack is by air which now is set in motion by Sophomore Johnny Lu-jack.

Besides being rated as a great defensive back, Lujack, successor to Marine Angelo Bertelli, is runner as well as a passer. He has gained 152 yards in 33 times with the ball. Working at quarterback, however, his prime rtfiuisite is signal-calling and passing. Even if once-beaten Northwestern can't attain a victory for its coach, Lynn Waldorf, whos" contract was renewed for three more years this week, it could find satisfaction in scoring more than 13 points a feat it may accomplish through the passing of Otto Graham. However, it is doubtful if the Wildcats can beat Michigan's record of gaining 210 yards on the ground against the sturdy Notre Dame lines.

Georgia Tech's 13 points stand as the most scored against the Irish this season. Irish Remain Firm Despite Northwestern Upset Fever ceded them and the end is not in sight. But one thing is certain if there are enough players left to go around next year the caliber of major league baseball, while still at an acceptable standard, will be far below pre-Pearl Harbor days. The standard declined noticeably last year, and the end is not yet in sight. Fights Last Night By Associated Press FALL FIVER, Mass Buddv rarrell, 15 Newark, N.

Market Ph. 3-5296 By CHARLES CHAMBERLIN EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 12 ().
