A noticeable number of the spoi'tsminded in the younger groups of Verhovay members in Cleveland have embraced the sport of soccer, known also as association football.

One of the most enthusiastic promoters of this sport is a member of Branch 14, one Paul Farkas, who, although handicapped, has shown how enthusiasm and perseverance can overcome most obstacles. His sports leadership is recognized thruout Verhovay Cleveland.

On April 1st the Cleveland Verhovay soccer players defeated the, Lions Football Club by. a score of 2-0.

These same players journeyed to Buffalo, New York for an Easter Sunday match against their Verhovay brethren there. They won again, this time 3-1 and 5-1.

But the Buffalo Verhovayans, altho chagrined, are vowing that! when they go to Cleveland for the return match on April 24th they

will give the 14-ers a real soccer trouncing.
