THE SPORTS CAST By Doon Goldstein Having a chartered plane standing by at Murchio's airport and weighted down with credentials, toothbrushes, shoe polish, a jar of Alka-Seltzer, min- eral water and a brand new pair of maroon colored flannels, I can now pro- ceed to bat out my last scholastic column for the sake of posterity, knowing darn well that my getaway will be as easy as flunking a couple of subjects in Brother Frazee's room of learning . . . Four years of rubbing elbows with Eastside athletes has brought memor- able experiences to mind, which I will now narrate to you even if you don't relish the thought of listening to my tripe . . . After all, if you glance across the page, you will be compelled to read Graham Ginsberg's column, so what's the use of even bothering to decipher his stuff when you can read the same hash here without flickering an eye-lid, and with no extra charge for admission, either . . . Athletes are generally well behaved people, who wash behind the ears and cut off their corns before going to bed every night . . . And Arnie Salzberg even brushes his teeth with his inflated tomato ketchup . . . Nevertheless, I'm happy to relate that I do know fellows who are downright, honest to good- ness clowns on the field of athletic endeavor and I do mean blokes like Gil- ford Blackman, our Man O' War of the race track, Kenneth Malone, our pachyderm who played center for our football team for a good number of hectic years, Cook Fisherman, our alleged funny man of basketball fame, and a couple of other defectives who are really clever . . . Arnie Salzberg, who resembles a thin slice of Hungarian thread while cavorting about the courts, really did some fine playing for Eastsides tennis team, and last season was ranked as one of the best players in the county . . . Even Arnie's girl thinks he's good, and that is adding fuel to the fire . . . Did I hear someone mention thrills in schoolboy athletic events? Wluy, pardner, I could wrap that moth eaten shawl around my scrawny neck, draw my wheel chair a mite closer to the hearth and tell you some tales that would make your remaining two hairs stiffen like one of joe Louis' opponents . . . How about the time Walt Porter blasted a homer against Englewood-but it CContinued in the Ad Sectionj

, Passavo IN msviaw ,,,, Wjfffv Gmhuuf Gjl1.l'bIlI'g Greetings grads, and I don't mean cads, and I don't M mean you, Goldstein! Comes the time in our young 'akf fsweet and innocent, lives when we must say bon cheerio to 'f to the remnants of that building which we have called W in my E. H. S. these many years, but before we do so, I'd like , ,I , fi M to' call upon the witness stand some of the many person- J K Qs? R . N alities, characters, and what have you, who have been . 1- 1 mail, ?.a ..Q 1'l' performing many deeds of honor on the athletic fields in the name of our old alma mammie. First on the list of sportsmen, we will bring up the name of ADOLPH 1sADAoLIACc.:A. Adolph, or Baggy as he is better known, is one of the many players men- tioned in this column, who is a bi-product of School No. 6. He is a quiet little fellow with an even temperament, excelling in baseball and basketball. I-Ie gave a good account of himself in the two sports, both of which he played for two years with the varsity. On the baseball diamond he proved himself invaluable as a third base- man, while socking out that base hit just when it counted. On the basketball court his cool headed play served as an inspiration to the other players on the team. Next we find VINCE FIASCANARO. the cause of many ohs and ahs from the Eastside femmes. A cousin to Badagliacca, he also went out for two sports, basketball and football. After one year of V. basketball, Vince made the varsity team in his senior year. His name will go down in history as a result of his having scored the winning baskets in each of two overtime contests with Central, thereby enabling Eastside to cop the city cham- pinoship. In football he acted as first rate replacement for the much heavier Ken Malone at the center position. I ffonlinuwl in Ihr' .fill Svcliunj X., , .af--f-'
