suiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimiie i Tho LIPS I VAAfe.X By JACK KUBIK I Led by quarterback Bart Pettice, Thornton whipped Morton Junior College 40 to 7 under the1' lights Friday In the season final. Pettice, a former Thornton high age and grid star, threw strikes all night as he ran his touchdown ass total to 12 for the season. Despite the defeat, Coach Bill Hedtkes Panthers played well but their sputtering offense never did get rolling. The loss was the fifth for the locals who failed to win during the season. THERE were some bright spots for MJC.
1 Back Bill Coyer kept Thornton at bay on many occasions with excellent punting. MJC actually held Thornton a good part of the 'I I I I Si' su 4 t1 Mrs I- 1 -i W( if ii'-' ft ri 3 rsiy'4' I '-i ftfjo 1 i jMSk 4 HU I S') i a a SPORTS er w.m (V 4 I I i a if 31 miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiMito Sunday, November 13, 1960 The LIFR Page 19 J- time but was sunk by long scoring plays.

Tickets are $4 each. The population explosion hasnt been confined to high schools. Its spread to officials, too. A report by the Illinois High School association for lh. 1960-61 school year lists 4,395 officials registered or affiliated with tha IHSA.
This is an increase of 250 officials over the last school year and is the second year that the number has exceeded 4,000. Compare this figure with lha war-depleted January, 1945 total of 1,235 or the 1946 count of 2.117, less than half the present number. Of the 4,395 officials currently registered with the association, almost 90 per cent are registered in basketball. There's one aspect of this rise in the number of officials that's interesting. We in this area tend to think in terms of expanding high schools with new ones going up almost every day.
The truth of the matter is that because of school consolidations, the number of Illinois high schools has been decreasing steadily. Why then so many officials and where are they finding games to work? There are several answers, probably the most important of which is that while the number of high schools is decreasing, individual schools are fielding more teams. On a recent Saturday, for example. Morton had a varsity, a Junior varsity, a junior college, two sophom*ore and four freshmen football games going. Another reason, the IHSA points out, is that junior high school and grade schools are placing increased emphasis on sports and are requiring that officials working their games be registered with the IHSA.
Many IHSA-regitered official! never work prep games but an increasing number of industrial, church, racraation leagues want their officials sanctioned by tha high school group. The IHSA expects another thousand or so to register before June 30, 1961, which will push the number of state prep officials to over 5,000 for the first time in history. If there is a moral her it is simply that like 2h any other large group there are going to bo some clinkers and we'll just have to live with them. 1 4 Cl Wolanin leads that department with a 185. 0 Alex Filip with a 657-233 paced Stickney Keglers at Berwyn Recreation while Mike Pasky had a 638-246.

25th ST. FOR RESERVATIONS TO 3-5240 The game of billiards has long ranked as all enigma on the sport scene. It was onetime housed in the rough palaces called pool rooms on the hard-ridden streets of the big towns. It also has been the exclusive endeavor of wealthy patrons, And, it is likewise a game in which young or old can excel, comparable to bowling in this respect. But billiards might also be called a difficult sport to master and, fat the hands of champs Such as the late Willie Hoppe or the current Willie MosconL it is close to a science.
Hoppe popularized the three-cushion whileAIos-coni has mime a 'great thing out of the pocket variety. The latter comes to Cicero in January in another of his longtime endeavors to introduce more laymen to the game. He will hold exhibitions at the Palace Bowl on 25th st This is a significant thing for Charles Matt, the Palace proprietor. Matt has attempted to give new lifts to billiards in the area. Only now is he making an inroad, A new dubroom at the Palace, a refined, plush shelter, has been constructed to draw adherents of pocket billiards.
Steadily the men have drifted in; men whq love the game, who would rather hold a cuestick than eat. And they have formed something on the order of a key club, but without keys. Matt is anxious to form a camaraderie of billiard players. And it could catch on. Businessmen of the area have made the Palace a must.
They can discuss problems while a 10-ball (or maybe the 8-ball) is going into a side pocket. They can rib one another with the free sense of informality, TAKi KOMI 0.13 BULK: PACK Frcjlnctos VAHILLA ICI CREAM J- ize.
