It la another step up the aquatic ladder and the Sport Register sincerely offers congratulations. ON ELMER HESSES land In Port Monmouth, th etates best trap shooting area haa been designed. A clubhouse is In the process of con st ruction and by June 4, date of the official opening, the aite will be an Ideal one. It also will be the realization of life ambitions of Mr, Hesse and Ed VonKattengelL The late senior Messrs. Hesse and VonKattengell were long Identified with this shootlpg sport, being well known on the national as well aa the state scene.

It looks as though their sons are taking up where they left off. Elmer's grandfather, Oscar Hesse, a distributor for a foreign ammunition firm, was responsible for getting the first smokeless powder Into the U. from Germany. It was popular In both field and trap grades and Its entry Into the states proved a boon to outdoor life. The new trap shooting site will be called the Penny Bridge Farm club.

Already Installed ere four traps, complete with concrete stands. In all, 20 gunners will be eble to take the line at the same time. The club Is fashioned after the Quaker City Gun club of Philadelphia, which generally is conceded to be the best In the country. A particular feature of the Port Monmouth layout will be the Introduction to the state of night shooting. The necessary electrical work has been finished to allow for the creation of one or more nocturnal sport.

Mr. Hesse says clay pigeons stand out even more brilliantly in night lighting than they do in daylight. The club's opening has been timed so that the New Jersey Stata Trapshooting association will be able to hold Its state championships there. It will be a three-day affair, after which weekly shoots for prizes are anticipated. The championships naturally will draw the state's best shots.

Recognizing the Importance of the event, Rumsons Ernie Mayer has agreed to be caterer. It should be a good deal. THE CATHOLIC GRAMMAR school tournament completed Saturday night at Red Bank Catholic high school turned up a surprising amount of hoop talent. A few of the teams looked exceptionally capable and most of the boys showed they know what the game is all about. Probably the best hoop prospect of the lot Is the son of Long Branch Mayor Paul Kiernan.

Paul, a 14-year-old star member of the Star of the Sea team, stretches a nifty six feet, three Inches Into the ozone. Thats quite a distance for a boy who haa not yet finished growing. He certainly shows plenty of promise. The RBCH athletic association tourney appears to ba a permane: fixture. The trophies awarded the first three teams were beauties, and the Interest exhibited was excellent.

It Is this type youth program which will do untold good for the kids participating in It and for tha caliber of high school sports In future years. A NEW SPORT la getting ft "of age" paper Red Rank hlgft school. The rifle team coached by Patrolman Frank Mazza Is a recognized element In the Buo athletic program. Frank J. Pingltore, school athletic director, Is making plans to include a competitive schedule for the team, along with the other sports he directs.

The school board also has co-operated. They have pawd the way for the team to obtain benefits through federal grants. Government rifles and an ammunition supply soon will be available for the young sharpshooters. Leonardo and Rumson high schools also are fostering rifle and gun teams. It should not be too long, then, before we see the high schoolers competing in a Shore Conference shooting championship.

Its a good deal. There cant be too many supervised sports diversions for the high school pupil. Maureen OBrien, Red Banks lS-year-old swimming star. Is pictured above aa ahe churned her way to additional honors by copping the 100-yard backstroke event in the Ohrbach water carnival Sunday in Park Central pool, New York city. Her time of 1:12:4 for the distance, together with excellent swimming form, also gained for her the coveted Nathan M.

Ohrbach trophy for the most outstanding performance in the meet. The Ohrbach trophy being added to her already long list of awards came as a big surprise, proof that the judges were particularly im Caseys Bow Out Of State Tourney By 4740 Defeat Jack Maloney Scores 13 In Losing Cause; Hoop Season Finished Red Bank Catholic high school basketball team ended its season Friday night by bowing out, 47 to 40, to St. Aloysius of Jersey City, in the first round of the New Jersey State Catholic association tournament in the Class division. Red Bank highs Harding road gym was the scene of the battle. The Caseys came close to being thoroughly thrashed In the opening quarters, holding a 21 to 13 deficit at half time.

They bounced back in the third quarter, however, outscorlng the visitors, 17 to 13, and making a stern bid for scoring leadership. The Red Bank attack bogged down in the last chapter, however, as Coach Adam Kretowicz fruitlessly attempted to substitute his way to a win. The Red Bankers trailed by nine points with three minutes to go, which is about the way it ended, the final Casey basket coming just as the Anal horn sounded. Eddie Bahr, ciassy forward and nominal high scorer for Red Bank, missed the game due to illness. His running-mate, Jack Maloney, did an effective filling-in job by netting 13 points and Danny Welch, the Green and Golds center, came through with 11.

St. Aloysius victory gave them six wins against 16 defeats. The Jersey City combine was a sharpshooting group, however, their string of losses having been administered by some of the better North Jersey high school teams.

On Bulldogs Baseball Nine Infield About Same As Last Years Team; Ken Petri Is Coach Baseball la the thin' i high school, where fo: weeks Coach Ken Petr, putting hia diamond through their spring paces. The Bui. Jigs should present a tough regation to beat this year, as they are by the return of nrarly an entire team.

Petri, who last year coached baseball at Oyster Bay high school, L. has a fairly strong nucleus around which he may be able to build one of the best teams Rum-son has eeen. They open the season April 9 at home against Keyport high. In preparation for the game, two practice tilts have been slated They meet Asbury Park March 29 and Leonardo April 5. Jack Bristcr leads the list upon whom much will depend.

One of the shore's most capable huilets, Brister last year suffered from lack of support from his teammates. Hie hurling could rarely have been improved upon, but his mates seemed able to kick away the most certain of victories. Whether or rot things will be different this year remains to be seen. At catcher will be either Ken Clayton or Jimmy Albert. Albert had trouble holding Bristers offerings last year, so he may find himself utilized in a position other than backstop.

Other veterans returning to the wars will be Austin Sears at first; Jimmy Halligan at second; Apple Rountree at third, and Bob Minton and William Brister in the outfield. There still remains battle for most of the positions, with Allan Stern on deck as an alternate pitcher, Robert M. Minton as a possible catcher, and Jim Johnson and Warren Farrington In fielding jobs. Even though the weather was on the chilly side, Petri, who acclimated himself to Rumsons weather as Coach Joe Rosati's assistant in football last fall, has had his men out the past week, getting in a few batting licks. He has been holding sessions in the gym, too, for the pitchers and fielders to get their arms in shape.

Combs Scores 9 In Polo Tourney In Newark Armory Red Bank Polo Club Vies For National Title Saturday Night Dr. Clarence Buddy" Combs, ranking national Indoor poloist, behind nine-goalers, Stew Iglehart, Mike Phipps, Winston Guest and Cecil Smith, uncorked a dazzling nine-goal performance Saturday night in Newark, to lead the Red Bank Polo club to a 12 to 7 victory over the Ramapo trio. The win pushes Red Banks riders into the Eastern finals of the National Junior championship, which will be staged this Saturday night in Essex Troop armory. One-eyed A1 Parsells, arch-riva! of Combs for indoor honors, was Ramapos head man, but his efforts fell far short of Combs brilliant shot-making. The Red Banker knocked in three counters in the initial chukker and added two more In each of the following three periods.

Apparently Combs was serving notice that he intended to maintain his standing as an eight-goal man. Parsells was held to seven goals in last years rating by the Indoor Polo Association of America. The rivalry between the two stars is not alone confined to the indoor version, both men fiequent-ly clashing in the four-man game each summer. The ratings are awarded separately for the two versions, with each year bringing up considerable interest when the indoor groups list is published. The Red Bank trio, paced by Combs, stand a good chance of annexing the Eastern title when they do battle Saturday.

Truex Issues Baseball Call Has Veteran Nucleus To Begin Work With Coach Arnie Truex yesterday issued the call for Leonardo high school baseball players and this afternoon the Lions are expected to begin their formal training in earnest. Truex has a good number of last year's varsitymen returning, which may make things bright for the Middletowners. Veteran hurlers ready for action are Ray Casey and Archie Stover. Casey also plays first base. Allen Merkin will be back to do the catching and Ted Lauer and Eob Gamache will return to work at second and shortstop, respectively.

Other experienced players include George Wallace, Wilbur Lubo and Tom Wright, all outfielders. The three of them alternated for outfield berths last year, so it is possible the Lions may have a ready-made outfield, provided other candidates are not too impressive as the season rolls along. a Need Weight Men Paladino And Jacoubs Face 11 -Meet Tour ilh But 2 Lettermen With their opening meet but about a month away, Red Bank high school- track team is going through some atern paces these days, with Coach Vince Paladino and his assistant, Lou Jacoubs, searching around for talent In the field events. The Buc cinder-men have an 11-meef schedule In front of them and squad of 30 are going through daily workouts. Paladino has been taking his high hurdlers and shot-putters in sessions at the Red Bank armory and Jacoubs has worked in the other groups in the school gym.

Training films in all departments are being shown the candidates. The only returning lettermen are "Squirrely" Scott and Harold Os-trov. Scott is a half-milcr and Os-trov, a miler. Others who may develop are Bob Wilson, Harry Dutchyshyn, William Scott, Carl Glover, Ray Schmidt, George Springsteln, Bud Giblin, Dick Chadwick, Ben Costa, Bob Ferguson, Howard Hughes and Junus Sims. All had experience in last years campaign.

Help may also come from Herb Swanson, A1 Spenny, Charles Woodward, Joe Vitrano, Winston Davies and Larry Dutchyshyn. These boys had track experience in their freshman year. Others working out are Bob Branin, Clarke Nelson, Sanford Jones, James Braney, Gerard Jones, Jack Oakley, George Fabian, Rick Miller, Stanley Mayerson, David Brandon, Louis DiPaolo, James Scott, and James Rodriguez. Possible point-getters for the Maroon and White include Bob Wilson, halfback on the grid team. He should go well in the sprints and In the two hurdle events.

Glover has a chance to develop into a good sprinter with more work. Schmidt, who was center on the Buc basketball team, is a high hurdler and high jumper and he may be used in the 8S0-yard exhibited good form last year and, with some work on speed, should be able to cop a few firsts. Ferguson should be the best high jumper of the lot. He has been quite faithful about indoor work on the high hurdles, in which he has shown good form. As In the ease of Schmidt, hard work on speed should have him turning In good performances.

Giblin Is trying for a comeback as a miler. He did well in that department as a sophomore, but his efforts last year were hampered by repeated sicknesses, during which he lost training time. Chadwick, the gridiron halfback, can pole vault, high jump and throw the javelin. Much is expected from Dick by his coaches and his results well may tell the story in the close meets this year. Costa shows signs of being a pole vaulter, too.

With his interest and last years experience, he might turn up a winner. Hughes should be good In the broad jump and In the sprints. Bill Scott and Spring-stein will fight for places in the mile or half-mile, A sorely missed member of last years team will be Big Bill Pulley, state high hurdle champ and holder of the high school record in that event. Bill also was the best discus thrower in the shore area. In both those departments, thte Buc track mentors have reason to be concerned.

At present they are searching for big boys to take Pulleys place and fill the gap which is too evident in the weight events. Paladino, himself a former performer with the three weights, has produced some outstanding men in these events and he is optimistic about turning up something this season. He will be giving particular attention to Sanford Jones, Swanson, Springstein, Brandon, Spcnney, Wilson and a newcomer, Gerard Jones. Gerard is a sophomore and might be the long-range answer to the coaches prayers. Much Interest Shown In Coast Guard Work Under direction of Comdr.

Les Carbone may return to the hot corner, but Bill Hanlon and Richard Kerrigan are hustling to move into that base spot, and on the initial sack, Ed Kullmann, John Gargana and Ben Anderach will have a tough time unseating Joe Madure, a capable man in that Everything else will be fairly wide open. Eddie Bahr, who was expected to settle at the shortstop position, recently found it tough to past his Latin exams and thus found himself benched until April 38 at least. Bob Black and Tom Fransconi also will be unavailable for similar scholastic reasons. Trying for the shortstop job will be A1 Thorn, Larry Griffin and Anthony Sole.

At the keystone satchel, Bin Hovedel, Nate Hessletn, Joe Sole and Paul Coles seam about equally able to grab the opening. The only sure member of the outfield will be Charles Drury, the Caseys' Diamond captain. Jack Keelan, new to baseball even though well acquainted with the gridiron, will try to land an outfield berth, as will Nappy Lucia, Tom Larkey, John Murphy, Joe Carroll and Pat Rampino. Kretowicz expects to move his charges out to Towner field next week, after which he will make a preliminary cut. He intends organizing intramural baseball immed-d lately in order to prevent completely overlooking any prospects which may not show up in the initial tests.

He also will form a freshman team, which will continue working with the varsity. He hopes to be able to book frosh games with other nearby schools. With less than three weeks to whip the aggregation into shape, the team will be called to practice sessions during the Blaster holidays for stints from 1 to 4 p. m. daily from March 21 to April 5.

Rhode-Darnell Again Booked To Wrestle Saturday In Asbury Armory It will be Herman "Dutch" Rhode versus Billy "Tarzen" Darnell Saturday night in the Asbury Pqrk armory. Wrestling Matchmaker Roland J. Hines again has signed the pair, by far the most popular to appear in the shore ring thl year. When Rhode met and conquered Darnell at Asbury Park a few weeks ago, the grunt and groan fane expressed deep satisfaction at the performance turned in by both muscle men. Rhode was winner by but a shade, having great difficulty in holding an advantage.

Rhodes added experience was credited with gaining him that victory. Darnell is fast becoming one of the important members of the nationally touring matmen. He has shown great promise to date and expected to give The Flying Dutchman plenty of trouble when they meet this time.

at the Dues Begin Ball Practice Phipps Has Candidates In Daily Workouts Coach Tom Phipps turned out his baseball hopefuls of Red Bank high school Monday at the West Bergen place athletic field and has since been drilling them in general diamond knowledge such as taking positions, covering outfield throws, taking leads and base-running. Conditioning has also been the order of the day, with laps around the basepaths being an important part of the daily workouts. The question of finding a replacement for Lester Stevens, last years ace mound man who quit school, is still among the major problems facing Phipps. He has come up with a few sophomores interested in the flipping art. If they work out satisfactorily, the next couple weeks may find him in a good frame of mind.

The infleld causes him no amount of alarm, every position having a ready candidate. He may have to do some switching to the outfield, however, which will change the picture. The freshmen are working out every day with the varsity, and it is expected they will go along throughout the season. No cut on the squad is anticipated.
