October 31, 1940 Verhovay ak Lapja Page IS DONT GIVE UP THE SPORT PAGE In the past few months we have seen the addition of poems, short stories and book reviews making regular or frequent appearances in the English Journal. A page called the “Children’s Page,” under the able leadership of Miss Amelia Nyers, poet and writer of South Bend, Indiana, recently found its way into the second English issue of each month. This page is hopefully devoted to the interests of our Verhovay children, and it is expected that the parents will encourage the youngsters to send in their literary creations for publication in the “Children’s Page.” It is not our intention to keep the “Children’s Page” one-sided. We want the children to share the page with us, by sending in their materials as well as reading ours. We are now working on a “Girls and Women’s Page” to take care of the interests of the ladies, and this page too should be contributed to as well as read by the Verhovay ladies. The page shall soon make its debut, and will be headed by our cultural and theatrical reporter, Miss Betty Carol Balega of Shamokin, Pa., and will appear in the first English issue of every month. Earlier regular features have been “The Humorous Vein,” the “Sport Page,” and one or two others. Both “The Humorous Vein” and the “Sport Page” appear in every issue of the English Journal. Needless to say, all these accomplishments have been made without in any way sacrificing or jeopardizing the very welcome individual efforts on the part of our contributors. Our principal reason for inaugurating these regular features has been to develop the Journal into a more interesting and more varied organ of young Verhovay life, and this we are steadily achieving, thanks to the ACTIVE loyalty and PRACTISED interest of our contributors and readers. But right now we are mostly concerned with the “Sport Page,” which was introduced to fill the needs of our young men, although, strictly speaking, the “Sport Page” is open to the girls and women also—in fact they are cordially invited to make the most of it. With the baseball and softball seasons over, contributions to the “Sport Page” have fallen, and this we deem unnecessary since the Summer sports are followed by the winter sports, namely bowling, basket ball, football, etc. We realize that there is less to report on bowling, basket ball and footbal than there is on baseball and softball, but still there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason why the “Sport Page” should be put in the closet till next spring. The “Sport Page” must not become a seasonal affair; it must be perennial—permanent to be exact. To make the Verhovay “Sport Page” other than that would be anything but consistent and logical, as sports do not end with the summer season but go on and on. Verhovay boys and young men: DON’T GIVE UP THE SPORT PAGE!------------:o:-----------SPORTS NOTICE FROM BRANCH 366 Cleveland, Ohio The howling team oj Branch 366, Cleveland, Ohio, would like to hook out oj town games, and unll accept any challenge made to us.

Sports A Smattering oj Chatter: I don't mind telling you that I am thoroughly disgusted, dejected, disappointed, disconsolate and desolate at the miserable showing our local college teams made on Saturday, October 19th. The three educational institutions that are situated within the pi’ecincts of our fair metropolis—Pitt, Tech and Duquesne—ran up the total score of 18 points as against 109 made by their opponents, who were* Fordham, Notre Dame and Mississippi. Shameful, isn’t it? While in this mood I should like to make a statement which does not deal with sports but has something to do with sportsmanship. But first I want to say ihat I have no political affiliations whatsoever, and do not favor either candidate for president; neither do I disfavor either. The statement—about Elliott Roosevelt’s commission in the Aviation Corps—is hypocritical. Why? Because ALMOST any job procured nowadays is thru “knowing the boss,” or knowing someone with influence. That is how I got several jobs, and there are hundreds of examples of the same thing around each and everyone of you. Remember, I said ALMOST every job is gotten that way. What would this world do without its selfmade men? On a Great American Sport: The courier came rushing into our “Sanctum Remingtorum” the other day with a dispatch. We flipped a farthing to the lad, and, smiling, he fell dead. The dispatch was from Ignace Sladowski. Ignace is in the hospital with a broken ankle. He has been a member of the Briceland sandlot football team here in Pittsburgh. (He did not break his ankle in a game.) He wishes me to tell you that his team has been making Mr. Fodor is a very good lawyer and he is well known among the Hungarians in the Buckeye District. Fraternally, BILL TORDA. By JOHN “DIRK” FULOP a name for itself on the gridiron. After five games it has emerged victor four times, and as yet the team has not been scored upon. There was one scoreless tie, however. To put it in Ignace’s own inimitable way, “Our team has run roughshod rampant over all its ‘opponunts’.” By the w'ay, Ignace is referred to as “Slippery Sladow,” and he w>as the blocking half on the teamfirst string. Cheerio until the next column.--------------------O-------------------BEAVER FALLS DEFEATS HOMESTEAD Two Home Runs for Fisher Beaver Falls ABR H 0 A E Saridchek, 1 30 0 1 0 0 Toth, 2b 40 0 4 3 0 Robinson, m 31 1 3 0 0 Kubel, 3b 22 0 5 1 0 Myers, c 43 2 3 « e Sydlik, ss 41 3 2 5 i Bartus, rss 30 0 2 0 © Matuski, lb 30 0 7 1 i Knapp, rf 30 0 0 1 « Ossoski, p 40 0 0 2 • Nemeth, if 11 0 0 0 c Nalesnik 00 0 0 © © Total 348 6 27 13 2 Homestead ABR H O A fi R.
