AN AGENCY OF THE COMMUNITY CHEST
INDEPENDENTS TAKE
UNDISPUTED LEAD IN
VICTORY LEAGUE
With each team having two
games yet to play before the end
of the season, three of the four
teams still have a chance to gain
a share of the championship.
However, from all indications, it
appears that the deciding game
will be next Sunday afternoon
when the Bell’s Independents
meet the A. J. Club at 3 p. m. If
the A. J. Club should win, they
will then be tied with the Inde-
pendents for the lead.
Last Sunday afternoon the re-
sults of the games were rather
surprising. The underdog M. M.
Society played solid basketball
to soundly defeat the league-lead-
ing A. J. Club, 48-37. It should
be noted, however, that both
teams played under somewhat
different conditions than ordin-
ary. The A. J. Club was without .
the invaluable playing of their
high scoring guard Si Wiederman
and the M. M. quintet had the
additional services of Bernard
Smolensky of the Baylor U. var-
sity. With Sai)l Gerber and B.
Smolensky all over Buddy Lewis,
the A J. offensive was throttled
a large part of the game. At
quarter time the A J. Boys were
leading 13-11, but the lack of re-
serves set too fast a pace for them
and at half time they were trail-
ing 19-27. In the first two minu-
tes of the fourth quarter A J.
scored 8 points to tie up the
game at 33 all, but within the
next three minutes the Smolen-
sky brothers paired to score 19
to put the game on ice. Bernard
and Joe Smolensky scored 19 and
12 respectively for M. M., and
Buddy Lewis scored 15 for the
losers.
With the exception of the last
three minutes of the game, the
A Z. A-Independent game was
one of the closest games of die
league: A Z. A led 8-7 at quarter
and 23-22 at half; and at the end
of the third quarter the game
was tied 35 all. Cadet Paul Kess-
ler not only took offensive honors
with 18 points, but he also was a
terrific thorn in the side of the
A Z. A offensive to really make
the difference in the two teams.
Robert Proler’s four field goals
in the last few minutes put the
Independents ahead never to be
overtaken, 55-47. The Independ-
ents set a record by committing
only six personal fouls. A Z. A
played a very godd game and
were really out to win; not only
was a share of the lead at stake
but they had dedicated the game
to their co-captain Leon Testa,
who underwent an operation that
same evening and who will go
into the armed service upon re-
covery. The usual A Z. A of-
fensive Schlosser, Moore, and
Freedman scored 14, 12, and 10
respectively. For the Independ-
ents, Proler scored 13, Brier 12,
and Bell 8.
Next week’s games:
2:00 M. M. Society vs. AZA. 136.
3:00 A J. Club vs. Bell's Inde-
pendents.

CENTER LEADERS
PARTICIPATE IN ANNUAL
HOUSTON SCOUT MEETING
A series of entertainment was
planned for men in uniform dur-
ing the holidays at the Jewish
Community Center, 4701 Caroline.
On New Year’s Day the Council
of Jewish Women acted as hostess,
and the boys received delightful
refreshments, and took advantage
of the informal atmosphere of the
Center.
On Sunday, January 3, the regu-
lar Sunday socials for Service
men were resumed. The Sister-
hood of Adath Emeth gave the
boys a lavish spread. This affair
was well attended and everyone
seemed to be having a good time,
leaving their Army cares and Re-
laxing in the Lounge.
These charming social gather-
ings are made possible through
the joint cooperation of the U. S.
O.-J. W. B. and their committees
and the Jewish Community
Center.
