THE DAILY NOTES, CANONSBURO. PA FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1942 PAGE EIGHT ARMORED UNIT Hitlers Open Campaign In Win Over Hickory Boudreau Leads Indians Ifo Five Straight Wins The campaign was launched in the Armored Force Journal as a contest for all enlisted men in the armored force. The prize $5,000 and the honor of sticking good native labels on the metal chargers. "What flashes in your mind when you hear the roar of motors, the rumble of tons of steel rolling over the ground, the staccato beat of thousands of machine guns?" asked the journal. SERVICE GAME SITE IS PHILADELPHIA STADIUM PHILADELPHIA, April 24 (U.R) The annual army-navy football classic today was scheduled to be played in Philadelphia's municipal stadium through A contract, providing that should any cf its games be cancelled an additional year be added to the agreement, was signed yesterday.

The present contract expires with the game scheduled for this fall. The 1942 game will be the 25th meeting of the West Point and Annapolis teams in Philadelphia. The classic annually attracts 100,000 fans. Spoirtts Stan Progar, sport Editot plilBifi Carey Pitches Trinity to 73 Victory in Quest for Sixth Sectional Title Spotting Hickory -three runs in the first inning, Trinity's WPIAL baseball champs settled down and piled up five runs in the first two innings to inaugurate their Section five campaign with a 7-3 victory over Hickory yesterday. The Hill-ers are bidding for their sixth sectional title.

Gene Carey, leftover mound ace from the past campaign, tightened up after the first inning and kept the losers scoreless while his mateis tallied the winning markers. He allowed four additional hits and fanned 15 batters and issued no walks. The Hillers collected nine safe hits with Carey and Lou Progar setting the pace with two blows apiece. Bill Tomsic doubles for the Hillers. Trinity scored two runs in the first, three in the second and one each in the fifth and sixth innings in the victory.

HICKORY- AB. R. H. P. SEEKS HELP IN NAMING TANKS FORT KNOX, Ky.

(U.R) Uncle Sam's' men of action in the Armored Force have opened a new campaign front to find earthy, punchy, typically American words to describe their fast, hard-hitting armored fighting machines. They want to replace "blitz" and "panzer" and other borrowed foreign words with tangy native labels. They want the kind of words that will stand right up in print, picturing the Stars and Stripes going into action with the armored units. They want talk about their tanks, jeeps, peeps, half-tracks and self-propelled artillery to sound like "good old U.S.A." as it rolls through barber shops and hotel lobbies and taverns.

Lanning issued only one hit, a single by Bert Haas in the first, until the fatal seventh when Haas opened the inning, with a smashing double to left center. This shook Lanning who walked the next two batters and gave up 2 more singles before Frisch sent Nick Strincevich to the rescue but he yielded two singles before he could retire the hot Reds. Pittsburgh opened with a run in the first and added another in the fourth. An eighth inning Buc rally was nipped at one run. CINCINNATI AB.

(U.R) Lou Boudreau, the youngest major league manager in history, has the Cleveland Indians on the warpath not in the clubhouse or on the bench but on the ball field. Beaten in three of their first four starts under the 24-year-old Boudreau, the Indians bounced back with five straight triumphs, 1942's longest winning streak in the Ameri lean League, and moved into a second place tie with the Boston Red Sox, one game behind the pace-set-tins: Yankees. There probably won't ever be anybody who can completely take Bob Feller's place but Boudreau has found a fellow who will do until somebody else comes along Young Jim Bagby, son of the old sarge of Cleveland pennant-winning days nearly a quarter of a century ago. Bagby became the first major league pitcher to win three game this year when he hurled the Tribe to a 9-2 victory over the St.

Louis Browns yesterday. Bums Lick Braves Tlie ran off their fifth straight yesterday and increased their National League lead to two games by defeating the Braves, 9 to 5. The Dodgers won 18 out of 22 from Boston last year and already have taken four in a row from them this season. Pete Reiser drove in three runs with a homer and single. Lou Novikoff's homer and Bill Lee's seven-hit pitching enabled the Cubs to nose out the Cardinals, 2-1.

Len Merullo's single drove in the tying Cub run earier. Johnny Mize and Willard Marshall continued their hard hitting and the Giants downed the Phillies, 5-2. Mize singled and tripled and Marshall hit two doubles. Errors Help Yanks The Yanks, taking advantage of six Philadelphia errors, beat the Athletics, 6-4. The A's robbed their pitcher, Jack Knott, of a deserved triumph.

Joe Gordon's single with the bases loaded drove in the two winning tallies. Despite the fact that Dutch Leonard snapped a bone in his ankle, sliding to first in the second inning, Washington Went on to beat the Red Sox, 10 to 5, behind Reliefman Bill Zuber. Former Red Sox Stan Spence hit a single, double and tripple. Hal White, Detroit rookie from Buffalo, pitched his second straight shutout as the Tigers trimmed the White Sox, 9-0. Ted Lyons went the route although giving up 1G hits.

HENRY IS NAMED FOOTBALL COACH AT WASH-JEFF Former All American Tackle and Coach Replaces Stu Holcomb at Alma Mater President Ralph Cooper Hutchinson announced today that Wilbur F. (Pete) Henry, athletic director at Washington and Jefferson college, captain of the school's 1918 eleven and all-time Ail-American tackle, was named head football coach of his alma mater iu keeping with the school's war-time retrenchment policy. Henry replaces Stuart K. Holcomb, who resigned to become head football coach at Miami University at Oxford, 0. He is a former professional football player and coach and was selected as Ail-American tackle by the late Walter Camp.

"At this time," President Hutchinson said, "when football, along with other college activities, faces a crisis due to war conditions, the college has turned to Director Henry to serve in the emergency." Henry has been a member of the college's athletic department since 192S. During the seasons from 1920 to 1928, he played and coached professional football, gaining wide fame with the Canton Bulldogs. It is probable that a backfield coach, an end coach and a line coach will be appointed as assistants. President Hutchison said Dr. R.

V. Nyswaner, a member of the faculty, has been appointed ath-leic director pro-tem. KSKJ Alhlolie Chief Speaks al Slrabane Joeph Korc, of Waukegan, 111., national athletic director of the KSKJ organization will be at Stra-lane tomorrow evening and will speak at a special meeting of the KSKJ Junior Boosters club at the St. Jerome home at 8:45 on athletics and its duties during wartime. The director of athleics for the KSKJ will make the visit to Strabane because of the outstanding work none by the local members to continue their good 'work throughout the crisis.

All members of the Boosters club ere asked to be present and others who wish, may attend also.

M. to 5 P. 14 7 YOU SAVE when she seeks to add the Greater Pittsburgh duck pin title to her collection at the Forward Alleys in Squirrel Hill. She qualified for this opportunity the past Sunday and will have Canonsburg bowling fans pulling for her in the roll-offs. Go to it Jo Jo and bring home the bacon.

Interest in ABC Meet Up until now, local interest in the American Bowling Congress has been curtailed to the scores rolled by the leading bowlers situated in and around the midwest. However, come this evening and Saturday morning, Canonsburg bowling fans will be rootin' for three local teams which will participate in the annual classic held this year in Columbus, O. The Elks, Beedle's and Continental Restaurant teams have entered the tournament and within a few hours, will begin their "down the alley" shots which they hope, and us too, will place them in the limelight of the bowling world. They will roll in the team events and tomorrow morning will see the local boys vieing for doubles and singles honors. Elks Lose Star Perhaps the greatest blow suffered by the Elks was the loss of Mario DiPalma.

The youthful bowling star could not make the trip which means that the Elks will be without the services of the leading bowler in the fast Washington County Loop. That it will be great is ascertained by the fact that Mario is the high man insofar as averages go and that's saying a great deal when you speak of the county loop. But incidents of this sort must be expected along with the good. We know that the Elks will do their best without Mario and we here will be pulling for a victory. If not the Elks, what say you Beedle boys and Restauranteers? Do we here a chorus of ayes? We sure dc, so go to it! Oh yes, we almost forgot to remind all bowlers to keep on the lookout for some hot news which will come from Strabane within a few days.

It involves a new version of a bowling contest in which there are no losers and everyone has a rip-roarin' time that is if you are interested and feel like rippin' and Keep a watch. Big Mouth He Opens His Mouth and a Hail of Lead is the Third Ward Riflemen's Answer When something out of the ordinary is accomplished, we usually attempt to find out how it is done. This is especially true in sports, regardless of the branch or the person. Such was the case in the Third Ward Rifle League. There is seldom a week in which a perfect score card isn't turned in and an investigation proved that the boys have a reason for their perfect shooting.

The boys are shooting at a target which pictures Adolf Hitler and his "toothbrush mustache." The bull's eye is his wide-open mouth with which he has plunged the world into a bloody conflict. And underneath is written "Where he will go we all can tell. So when you shoot, just shoot well." And the boys are doing just that. Perhaps if you were a mind reader and examined the ioys while they were firing away, you probably would find a thought something like this; "Go ahead you lunatic, rave and shout with all your might. We'll drive our answers right down your throat." And they do! The rifle league is supervised by Ross Mitchell of the Third Ward school with Mike Leson of the Canonsburg Police force its instructor.

BROMLEY OPTOMETRIST It's all over now but the shoutin-by the winners! The last of Canonsburg's pin tournaments have gone by the boards with Wednesday night's duck pin roll-oifs which ruled that the women's division would have no change in leadership but that the men's king would be one Paul "Abe" Weir, destined to show the more youthful rubber-banded stars just how ducks are played. Arid he did! Much, to the chagrin of some of our younger stars. However, patience is man's greatest virtue and all that the bowlers can do now is to exercise their patience until another sea son of kegling in which they can show their wares and probably assume the leadership in the county, Strabane, Brunswick's ten pin meets and Beedle's duck pin tourney. Perhaps 1943 will bring another upheaval among the leaders, who knows. Change in Leaderships Out of five title holders, this season's crop of bowlers have supplied four, new champions with one surviving.

Oddly enough, it is the women's champion who retained her title while all men champions have lost out. Probably this is why it is often said that women are more consistent than men. Be that as it may. Ellis "Abe-Fee began the upheavals in the ranks of the title holders when he captured the Brunswicks money tournament won by Frank Foley last year. Bobby Roach followed up by regaining his ten pin championship of Washington county lost in 1941 to Joe Krulce, and Frank Tomsic overruled Jake Chesnic as Strabane's ten pin ruler this year.

Wednesday, Abe Weir completed the changes by taking "Gumps'' Kirr's title. In the women's division, Jo Jo Ziegler has p'roven her rights to wear her duck pin crown for another year and there is nothing the girls can do about it except turn to patience like the men and wait another year. Bowling About Out This practically rings down the curtain on the 1941-42 bowling season with the exception of a few scattered matches throughout the Canonsburg area.
