Page 10 Verhovayak Lapja. December 12, 1940 VERHOV AY MEMBER MAKING NAME FOR SELF IN SPORTS A young member ol Branch 484, Beaver Falls Pennsylvania, has been dis­tinguishing himself in scho­lastic sports. He is John Kovach, sopho­more, who is doing right well as fullback on the varsity footbal team of Baldwin-Wallace. Johnny again showed his ability and prowess at the recent hard fought match between Baldwin-Wallace and Akron, held at the Rub­ber Bowl in Akron, in which Baldwin-Wallace scored ano­ther victory. Concerning the newspaper accounts of the game, in which Johnny’s name figur­ed heavily, one in part had this to say: “There was one thing about the game, however, that pleased Coach Ray Watts. It was the fine play of John Kovach, 190-pound sophomore fullback from New Brighton, Pa. Kovach scored the first B-W touch­down on a plunge from the one-yard stripe in the open­ing period, and it was his touchdown pass to End Nick Yowarski that put the Jack­ets ahead in the third. “Watts’ boys started off as though they might dupli­cate last season’s walkaway. Shortly after the opening kickoff, they marched 74 yards to the goal line, spark­ed by a Kovach to Marion Bulzomi pass—good for 19. yards, and long runs by Irwin Maxwell. After Max­well had finally brought the ball three feet from the pay-off line, Kovach bucked it over... “But the Jackets got a break in the third period when Akron was set back to the three-yard on a clipping penalty. Akron punted out to Bulzomi who raced down the Zippers’ 34. Then Ko­vach went to work with his arm, firing four straight passes which ended in Yow­­arski’s touchdown...” That Verhovay member John Kovach is really ap­preciated for all he’s worth is evident from the head­line of the newspaper ac­count just quoted in part, which is: “Jackets Have Tough Time Defeating Akron; Kovach Is Stand­out.” No doubt Secretary John Namath was tihmkiff <i*f 'thers within Branch 48-1 laving talents similar tc John Kovach when he wrote n the October 10, 1940 En­­;lish Issue: “Look out, City League, here comes the Ver­hovay Bowling Team.”--------------------O-------------------­BOWLING NEWS FROM YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO Saying, “Better late than never,” may apply to news about the Youngstown Ver­hovay Bowling Team. We have a team com­posed of boys from the four Verhovay Branches in Youngstown. We bowl every Friday night at the Grand Home Ten Pin League, as fast a Class C League as any you can find. The League is made up of ten teams. Each team is limited to 820 team aver­age and eight men per team. Now something about the team: Team as a whole has not yet reached its peak. I be­lieve we can and will be much better as the season progresses, although to date we have won 16 of out 21 games rolled and are in second place in the stand­ing. The personnel of the team and their averages: ‘Handsome” Steve Martin_174 “Railroader” John Barkó___170 ‘Ball Player” Joe Gregory_164 “Shorty“ (6’ 6”) Paul Hajdú .163 “Minus Tonsil” Bob Padery .160 “Branch 364 Secretary” Bill Miglets _______________156 “Mustache” Andy Blasko___155 “Just Married” Andy Nagy .153 The boys would appreci­ate it if you fans would come out to root for them evesry Friday night at 7 o’clock.
