Verona and Madison, fin ished the 1960 Suburban Con-ference championship slate with records of four wins and one setback. Last year, the White Horn ets opened the grid season with a sma-hing, 32-0, success over Passaic Valley. In the second outing, the Hillbillies stung Summit, 26-7, and then nipped Chatham, 13-7, in a hard fought fray.

Continuing the campaign, Sellitto's stalwarts ripped Liv ingston, 26-7, outlasted Madison, 7-0, in a rough one and romped over Parsippany, 34-0. Clifford Scott became a 27-0 victim of the locals, before Millburn stopped the borough brigade, 12-0. In the annual Turkey Day skirmish, Verona turned loose Cerefice and Seebach, a pair of ground-eating backs, behind a big hard-crashing forward wall sparked by Steve Picker, Gray, Turro and chewed Caldwell to little bits, 33-0, before 6,200 at Verona field. "Verona football candidates are urged to report In the best possible physical condition," Coach Tom Sel-litto said yesterday. "It would be wise to start now with daily calisthenics and running.

The running; should be done alternately with sprints for speed and distance for durability, started at a modest pace. "Calesthenics should be light at the start and vigorous by the time football starts on Friday, Sept. 1, on a full scale, "As the (rid season approaches it is also well to be mindful of regular rest," Coach Sellitto added. "A sharp reduction in swimming from long sessions in the water to dips is recommended as well as a decided -reduction in the amount of sweets." Verona's first regular football game is slated for Satur day, Sept. 23 against Passaic Valley at home at 2 P.M.

The initial Suburban Conference contest will be with Summit High on Sept. 30 at the borough field. The rest of the schedule will be the same as last year. Chatham, Livingston, Madison, Parsippany, Scott, Millburn and Caldwell will be played in that order. As part of the Hillbilly training program, the Verona tutor has scheduled scrim-sessions with Montclair, Immaculate, Glen Ridge, Pomp-ton Lakes and Butler High School.

Only 2 World Records Beat Jed Craef in LA Jed Graef, Princeton's sophomore of 13 Howard Verona took two second places in National Men's AAU Swimming Championships in Los Angeles last weekend, with only a world's record to beat him in both cases. Jed finished behind Bob Bennett of Van Nuys, in the 100 meter backstroke. His time was 1:01.7 compared to Bennett's world record time of 1:01.3. In the 200 meter race, Jed came in three seconds behind Tom Stockton of Indianapolis who covered the distance in the world record time of 2:11.5. Jed's time was 2:14.5.

Cedar Grove Exams Arnie Berg has announced that exams for hopefuls on the Memorial High School jayvee team will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 29 at 9 A.M. at the nurse's He emphasized, however, that boys wishing to go out for the team must pick up parent permission slips along with tuberculosis testing notifications at the school, before they may take the physical examination. These slips, along with the three dollar general student insurance premium should be returned to the nurse's office as each prospective candidate arrives for his physical next Tuesday. The fledgling Memorial squad will hold its initial drill on Sept.

6, in preparation for Memorial's first game on Oct. 5 at Hawthorne High School against that institution's ninth and tenth grade team. The jayvee "Panthers" will embark on an ambitious six-game schedule which will feature contests against Passaic Valley, Verona, Passaic, Madison and West Essex. Assisting Mr. Berg on the first year's Panther squad will be Thomas Guest, a former coach at West Orange High School.

To Replace 13 Replacing thirteen members of the first squad is the major problem facing Coach Tom Sellitto as he prepares for his fourth season of Verona High School football. Physical examinations for all grid candidates will be held on Thursday, Aug. 31 at 9 A.M. at the high school gym. Equipment and uniforms will be assigned in the afternoon and practice will open Friday, Sept.

1, in accordance with the New Jersey State law. Coach Sellitto plans to hold double football workouts until school opens. Present plans call for a morning session to start at 8:30 A.M. and going until 11 o'clock. An afternoon drill will run from 12:30 until 3:30.

It is expected a total 70 boys will report for football at Verona High School this Fall. Back for another year of grid coaching along with Coach Sellittq are Tom Morris, Tony Iuso and Fred Lippari. Morris is expected to handle the jayvee squad and back-field. Lippari, in his second seasoP- wiU drin lhe line and iuso is listed as irosn loolball pilot. Nine members of the back-field, that played to one of the best grid records, 8-1, in recent years at Verona High School, will be missing when the Verona mentor launches the 'grid program.

One of the big losses will be Donnie Cerefice, a back, who closed out his school grid career with a pair of TD's against rival Caldwell in a 33-0, finaT game victory. Cerefice, scampered 35 and 17 yards for his touchdowns. Tom Edgerton, John 'Seebach and Dom Mortorelli, three other hard-charging backs, are also lost to the Hillbilly grid-group. Other backs gone are Tony Spino, Bob Di-Masi, Dick Luzzi, Brian Far-rell and Mike Saggese. Verona High lost a good center in Jim Donadio via the diploma route.

Don Ruccia, guard, who always played well is among the graduates. A pair of stalwart tackles, Lou Turro and Don Gray, who played a major part in Verona's great football record, will have to be replaced. Doug Dobson, veteran end, is another big gridiron loss. Despite the 8-1 mark, which included a seven-game win skein, Coach Sellitto's men had to settle for a Suburban OUt TIMERS' SOITHALI, LEAGUE The spotlight this work was on first place and it found the Town llallcrs, the team that held the lead spot all season, displaced. This is how it happened.

The Town llallcrs were 10-2 and the V.F.W. 8-3. Monday's game- found the V.F.W. soundly trouncing Industrial Instruments 22-3, this Riving them a 10-3 record. Morris twirled a neat 2-hitter a single to Jones and a 4-baggor to Putnam.

7 9 2 1 3-22 Tuesday (the day that the Town llallcrs wished they didn't play the Printers) the Printers outlasted the Town Ilallers 10-9. The Printers are now known as the "Spoilers" and they might just do the same to the V.F.W. next week and force a play-off between the Town llallcrs and the V.F.W.

team when they beat the Town Ilallers 5-3 and that gave them a record of 10-3 compared to 10-4 for the Town Ilallers. This put them into first place until next Tuesday at least when they play the- "Spoilers." If the Printers beat them then there must be a play-off between the V.F.W. and Town Ilallers. If the V.F.W. win they take the 1961 crown.

The pitchers, Ed Sychiarz and Tom Morris both pitched very well. Ed gave up 9 hits all singles and Tom gave up 8 hits all singles but one that was a double by R. Michaels. The second inning was the big one when the V.F.W. put together 4 singles and 2 errors for 5 runs.

Any one of the three attractions usually qualifies a place as a tourist attraction, but thrice blest is Saratoga Springs it has all three, and In abundance.

We made our annual trek to the Spa last week, taking in three days of most enjoyable racing under rcsost enjoyable conditions, and while we didn't hold cur own against those Iron Men the betting mutucl machines we once again enjoyed the many features cf the Spa, nestled In the foothills of the Adiron-dacks. Our companions on this year's trip were Arthur Rudolph Cheer, Montclair hair stylists) Cheer of Verona, who has accompanied us on many trips to the Spa; Joseph (proprietor of Ferrara's Auto Painting Body Works, Montclair) Ferrara of Verona, and Joseph A. Miscia of Montclair, now retired, who was former head teller of the Montclair Savings Bank and a former partner in the Town House Liquor Shop, Year by year Saratoga is becoming more and more easily accessible, and today you can go via Garden State Parkway, New York Thruway and the new Northway, which is still under construction and which will eventually run from Albany to Canada, by-passing virtually all large cities en route. One must leave the Northway about 15 miles below the Spa and take Route 9. Before delving into the gee-gees, let's consider the matter of health For nearly two centuries the ailing and aching have flocked to the Spa to take the lamous medicinal waters waters, by the way, whose healing properties are said to have been discovered by the Indian tribesmen.

The Spa waters ire reputed to have been first tasted by a white man when a wounded British officer was taken there by friendly Indians. The water was so good he passed the word on to friends, and so the story spread. And to the southeast of the Spa lies the Saratoga Battlefield Park. Green hills roll away in all directions, and it Is hard to believe that these peaceful valleys once echoed the booming cannonades of P.edcoats, Hessian and rebel Colonists. It was here, by the way, the Yanks made first contact with Burgoyne's forces and a short distance away where Benedict Arnold, defying orders of General Gates, won the glory he was later to stain with treachery.

Once again they were talking about doning the Saratoga racetrack, but again that vgly thought has perished, for Saratoga racing this month had drawn larger gates and better mutuel handle, ichich means more taxes for N. Y. State. Incidentally. Saratoga, which was recently designated capital of thoroughbred racing, is synonymous with the best traditions of the sporting world.

Its August meet is the nation's oldest and most respected, with the finest horses and with the elite of turfdom rubbing elbows with the $2 bettor. Incidentally, they are expanding the Spa itself, making a larger Geyser Park area, and these additional facilities, including more golf, tennis and swimming, will undoubtedly attract more people to Saratoga each August. On our visit to Geyser Park, which has always been free, there was a toll booth 50 cents, said an attendant. When we asked, How come? he replied: "A Republican Governor, you You can't blame me, I didn't vote for him." The Spa mineral baths, followed by a massage, continues to be one of our most enjoyable pastimes. Most refreshing, don't you know, especially after you've taken a "bath" at the races.

Traditionally the proving ground for two-year-olds many big stables and owners hold their best young horses for this meet in the belief they will run best In this Invigorating northern climate Saratoga Is also famous for its yearling sales. We missed the sales this year, but were told that of the 12,000 thoroughbred horses foaled each- year about 2,000 of these go across the block in such sales, and 260 were sold at Saratoga last week. Thanks to the hospitality of the New York Racing Association, which again provided our party with a clubhouse box for the three days, and to Sam Kanchuger of the association's press relations corps, we enjoyed racing the way we like it. Graceful traditions are Saratoga's stock in trade, and we like the picturesque setting. Renewed our acquaintance with 84-iear-old Gene Finnegan of Queens, Long Island, who 54 years ago to the day (Friday) rode the first winner of the Saratoga Steeplechase.

"His name was Herculoid, and I weighed 128 pounds in those days," said Gene, a lovable Irishman. Today Finnegan weighs 140, and while he's 84, he acts like 50 and thoroughly enjoys taking in the races every day. He was strong for San-ford Stud Farm's Sun Dog in Friday's 5Ath running of the 'chase, but Sun Dog, running a close third, suffered a leg injury on the next to last jump and ran last Had dinner one evening at Jack Zcber's Wishing Well, and he wanted to be remembered to Dick Murphy, manager of the Bellevue Theatre seems as though they knew each other in Troy, N. Y. Took time out to make a trip to the Glen Falls Country Club, a most beautiful and picturesque layout over hilly terrain, to visit our old friend, Danny Williams the pro.

Danny left Joe Aicllo's Knoll Golf Club this Spring to accept the new post. Playing the PGA circuit in N. Y. State is rough, and many times the courses are 150 or more miles away Before viewing the fine show from a ringside table at Jack's Harlem Club Saturday night Jack, the owner, now 74, has been there for 44 years we decided to try to recoup some of our losses ty taking in four races at the trots. Oh yes, there is night time trotting races at Saratoga Raceway.

Same sort of luck, all bad! Viva la Saratoga Spa! Tucci's third homer produced the Seals last three runs of the game. Tonight the Eagles play the Lions and tomorrow the Bisons play the Seals in the final game of the regular season. The playoffs will be next Monday and Tuesday with the Championship game on Thursday. Of interest in the games to be played will be the home run race, which Brian McCarthy leads with five, and the individual batting race which Tommy Kelly presently leads.

I.E.VCIK STANDINGS Won Favlc, Seals The Jacobsen Sport Spot Eagles are within a game of clinching the Junior League Season championship after breezing to easy victories over the Doric Press Lions and Miele's Pizzeria Bisons behind the steady pitching of Bob Moriarity and Mel Behney. The Lions were given a first inning run on a walk and an Eagle error and then were shut out thereafter by Behney and Moriarity who pitched two and four innings respectively.

The Eagles took a 3-1 first inning lead on a walk, an error and base hits by Tony Mariani and Moriarity and added two more runs in the third inning on Brian McCarthy's fifth home run, plus hits by Frank Harper and Mariani. The Eagles didn't score in the second, fourth or fifth innings after Louis Ochs, Edward Morehouse and Harper had opened each with a hit. The Lions came up with a neat double-play in the fifth inning as Kevin Quinn in cen- terfield picked off Bruce Knox's sinking liner. The Bisons also took a one run lead on a walk to Hegarty and a hit by Jimmy Miczak. Again the Eagles went ahead 3-1 in the first inning on a walk to Morehouse, a Bison error, a single by Moriarty and a double by Behney.

The Bisons made the score 3-2 in the second inning on doubles by Tony Presti and Hegarty and then were limited to infield hits by Peter Call and Hegarty thereafter. Louis Ochs hit a home run for the Eagles in the second inning and an inning later the Eagles clinched the game with a four run outburst on hits by Behney, Mariani, Ochs, Moriarity and Frank Demanio. The Bisons had previously trounced the Evenson's Seals by a 9-1 score as Miczak gave up only 3 hits. A dropped fly ball and Howie Wood's hit averted a shut-out. The Bisons got their first runon a walk to Hegarty, Miczak's double, and Pryde's fly to centerfield.

An Alfonse and Gaston act in the Seal outfield, after Mike Destefano had opened the gsecond inning with a double, produced a second Bison run and an inning later an overthrow of third on an attempted steal scored two more runs. The Bisons scored 4 cushion runs in the fourth on two walks and hits by Vinny Silvia, Presti and Pryde and another in the sixth on Hegarty's double and three bases on balls. On Friday night the hittin? of Tony Tucci and Howie Wood gave the Seals an 8-2 win over the Lions. Wood's fourth homer of the season gave the Seals a run in the third inning that was equalized by the Lions on hits by Mickey Kistner and Bob Courtney. The Seals then scored 4 runs in the fourth in ning on 3 walks and singles by Tucci, Lacastro and Ronnie Kamin.

The specialist suggests you Drecheck vourself before vnnr job hunt to ensure a favorable impression, Elaborate or costly dress for business rarely is appropriate a prospective employer might give the job to someone who looks as if he needed it more! Select styles that are conservatively cut, well-pressed, and free from spots or stains. Cleanliness and neatness are the prime requisites. The virtues of a neat hair style, well-cared-for hands, and a clear complexion cannot be overrated.
