Light Fa :l s About
Insurance History
A "gunslinger" of the
Old West could get life
insurance coverage
back in 1869, but
probably not today if he
listed that as his
profession.
That's the opinion of
William W. Rockwell, 0f
367 Pratt St.,
Southington, agent for
Connecticut Mutual Life
in Meriden who.pointed
out that the business of
underwriting insurance
risks has changed a lot
in the past century.
"Saloonkeepers, soap
boilers, riverboat pilots
and tallow chandlers
were among the
professions of life insurance
policyholders
100 years ago," William
W Rockwell explained.
"The world was full of
different dangers then -
yellow fever, the perils
of pioneering, accidents
on such new fangled inventions
as the train and
riverboat," he added.
Looking back in
can
during this Bicentennial
year, the local insurance
agent cited the
example of one Brad
Daily, who listed his occupations
as Stage
coach driver, Union
scout, freighter to the
Arizona silver mines
and county sheriff in
New Mexico.
"Back in 1869, Connecticut
Mutual saw
nothing unusual about
those occupations and
insured Daily for
$10,000," Rockwell said.
"And it turned out the
company was right
about the risk, Daily
died with his boots off,
felled by intestinal inflammation."
Founded in 1846 as the
Post College
To Conduct
Local Survey
Southington citizens
and those of 30surrounding
towns will be polled
during November by a
olial group of Post
lel e students
armed with survey
forms designed to reveal
the area's cultural
and educational needs
The survey, under the
leadership of Gary A.
Kasey, assistant dean of
students, is the final
step in study to pinpoint
the spheres in which
Post College might best
serve the community.
The college's
assessment of community
needs is being
conducted by a committee
appointed in September
by Post's
President Harold G.
Harlow with Kasey as

frowned on two practices
common in its
early days - .due!ling and
s!a.v .ry -whtch revolved
h gh insurance risks.
For example, Rockwell
said, when 28 year
old Ludlow Cohen lost a
duel in 1870 his heirs lost
their death claim. And
while slave-owners went
to many insurance companies
to buy special
risk coverage on their
slav,es, Connecticut
Mutual's board of directors
voted to shun this
type of business.
Rockwell also noted
that when would-be
prospectors poured
westward to the California
gold rush, Connecticut
Mutual insisted
on a premium increase
to cover such
policyholders or/ the
many hazards of the
westward journey.

o an[v of each risk

can hurt all
policyholders - the same
reason why sky-divers
and hang-gliders are
usually excluded from
normal insurance
coverage today, he
said.
"But who knows,
perhaps 10 years from
now, life insurance companies
will receive applications
from starship
commanders or moon
colonists and think,
'Just another day's

Large Voter Turnout Rejects
Proposed Charter Revisions
By Craig . Baggott
Well over 80% of
Southingten's elig[ .le
voters flocked to the
town's polling p.laces
Tuesday to soundly reject
the nine proposed
charter amendments
on the ballot.
The changes, backed
by the Democrats and
opposed by the
Republicans with equal
intensity, were the subject
of increasing controversy
in the mont
preceeding the election.
Following is a list of
the proposals and the
number of votes for and
against each:
Question 13, an ammendment
that would
allow the Town Council
more power in the
town's budgetary
process was rejected by
a margin of 7,044 to
2,574. The amendment
would have allowed the
council to override the
Finance Board and insert
new
budget after a public
hearing and a two-thirds
council vote.
Question { 12, a
proposal to give the
Town*Council power to
appoint the paid Town
Treasurer was defeated
7,030 to 2,482.
Question 11 would
have given the Town
Council the authority to
appointe members of
the Housing Authority
and was defeated 6,788
to 2,651
Question 10, which
would have renamed the
Industrial Development
Commission with the
title Economic Development
Commission, was
rejected 6,541 to 2,866
The amendment would
also have given the
Town Council power to
veto the commission's
choice of a coordinator.
Question 9, a proposal
o have terms of elected
town officers begin at
noon the "day after the
municipal election was
turned down 6,240 to
3,254.
Question 8 was
defeated 6,410 to 3,074
The amendment would
have given the Board of
Water Commissioners a
seven member board
with two year terms of
office. At present the
board is composed of six
Nvw's tbe
tinT€ start

members with four year
terms.
Question 7 would have
reorganized the terms
of elected ofhcers of the
Planning and Zoning

The Downtown
Merchants are
hoping to have a

stores on several
different days,
giving free candy,
etc., to the
children. The merchants
are hoping
to work in conjunction
with the
Park Board on still
another Santa
Claus who would
appear on separate
days.
Also discussed
was the possibility
of sponsoring a
Santa Claus
coloring contest for
the children in
town to enter.
There was
lengthy discussion
about Sunday
openings, with the
majority of the
downtown retailers

not take office until 1978.
The amendment would
have insured that 1977
would be the last year in
which this would take
place. It was defeated
6,117 to 3,384
Question 6 would have
decreased Board of
Education Members
terms of office from
four years to two years
Voters turned the
proposal down 6,282 to
3,492.
Question 5, a proposal
for at large elections for
the Town Council rather

rejected by a margin of
6,451 to 3,225.

OPINION & COMMENT
The Secret Chamber
Of all-the-challenges facing busine today -- whether it be
the giants like Ford Motor, AT&T, Mobil Oil or one of the
numerous smaller concerns such as we have in Southington --
regain the public trust.
Public confidence iv, business is lower now than it has been
for many yea . According to 01m survey, 5.5% of ,Am.eric,ans
in 1966 had a htgh level of confidence in business teauersnip.
Today only .16% do
What has caused this decline?
Many things. But important amo. l them are revelations of
corporate kickbacks, bribed officials, illegal political contributions,
secret bank aceount and the like.
Today, many businesse ar worki_n.g hard toward overcoming
these black-marks. They are fighting the erosion in
their public trust by enforcing rigorous codes of business conduct,
by spelling out clearly -- and publicly -- just what
business does thatis good. And rightly so.
Restoring the'good name of business deserves urgent attention
of everyone in business today. It is the best way to
assure the survival of business tomorrow.
Why then, with all thi need to restore public trust in our
business firms does the Greater Southington Chamber of
Commerce still cherish meeting in secrecy?
Accqrding to its Executive Director Edward Beckley and
Board , f Director member Craig S. Carragan Jr. - on Oct 28
- the bamber' board stilLwill not, open its, ateegngs t_o_th
press.
This is difficult to understand. The Chamber is supposed to
be a leader of business and industry in Southington. What can
beso secret that it must be discussed behind closed doors?
•Are they planning to zip a new mall into downtown and do
not waht anyone to know about it?
•Are they attempting to raise funds to help keep the Chamber
afloat and are ashamed of it?
•Are they -- behind these closed doors -devistng some
reat scheme to bring new business into the empty halls at
exto?
The Chamber got concerned last August when we mentioned
its invisible nature. If they held their planning
meeting or board meeting with the press listening in, th.e.n
they would certainly end up. with the whole community
knowing just what they are trying to do to help Southington -
and the 'r'memb rshipcould ba k in the light thus shed.
Perhaps, the biggest shock of the Chamber's antiinformation
beard meetings is that one of our press people sit
in on it and helps to encourage such secret metings.
We feel Carragan - who is general manager of WNTY - is
grossly wrong in suppoledng this veil of secrecy - particularly
,when the - ,hole press is t_oday commit. dto
bringing sunshine into public eetings. Business meetings -
such as the Chamber's -- should s,e.t an e.xam e for others to
hold clear, crisp, out-in-the-open aiscusstons.
Carragan's radio station is among those who are championing
for the rights of the press. How can he s .nd [or the
freedom of the press, yet serve on a eaose corporauon-.'
We call on Carragafl to resign in protest -- and strike a blow
for open meetings.
The Chamber must be a vital and virile organization. It can
only become so ff it doe all its business out in the open

Athlete's Insurance Is Clarified
Editor's Note -- SHS's Director
of Athletics s wormed
about misconceptmns concerning
the insurance plan for
th .school's athletes Parents"
failures to fill out forms have
delayed payments on several
ogca ion . The following
Speaking Out! is spec ficall
written for all parents of Blue
Knight athletes.
The Southington Board of
Education has purchased ar
all-sports insurance program
for 1976-1977 from the Edward
Connors agency of 11
Oakwood Avenue, West Hartford,
Connecticut. This
policy provides coverage in
the amount of $10,000 for
medical expenses €$1,000for
dental expenses) along with
other benefits as described in
the brochure for regular
school insurance.
The plan of insurance
covering interscholastic
sports.is now being written
on an "excess basis." In
other words, when an injury
occurs, the claim must first
be presented to your insurance
carrier. When you
report the injury on the claim
form to the school insurance
company please forward
only those bills which show
credits received from your
insurance. The school insurance
will pay that amount
not paid by the other insurance.
The purpose of this
program is to stabilize the
cost of spol ts insurance to
the town SlYould your insurance
not provide
coverage, or if you do not
carry insurance, the school
insurance will pay the bills
as rendered.
In the event of an injury
requiring medical attention,
it will be necessary that the
student make a report to the
high school office within 48
hours of the time of occurence,
so as to insure
coverage of any medical expenses
which might result
therefrom. When such a
report has not been filed, and
there is no record of such injury,
the insurance company
can refuse to pay for the
medical expenses incurred.
In such cases, the responsibility
for payment of the
bills is naturally assumed by
the parent.
It is important, therefore,
that the high school boys and
girls be reminded that the
responsibility for reporting
Moving in!
such accidents is theirs, and
we urge your cooperation in
impressing this fact upon
them.
We are very pleased that
your child has indicated an
interest in our athletic
program. If this office can be
of assistance to you in any
way, please feel free to ca II
US.
-Joseph Fontana is Director
of Athletics at Southington
High School.
THIS & THAT
It takes two things to conduct
a successful political
campaign: hot issues and
cold cash.
Political TV commercials
prove one thing: that some
candidates can tell you all
their good points and
qualifications in 30 seconds.
We should hold elections
every year, because there
never seem to be tax increases
in an election year.
"Push" opens more doors
than "pull."
'The Big Shoot Out! '
/Part I of a No s Saga/
A few days after the big October shoot out at Northington's
Thunderch cken West Care, Marry Ca)led Ac.e
Photographer'/Reporter Craig Baggott into his o flce.
"Say Ace, let's wander out to, da Th.und hidken and see
just what in blazes all da shootin was at)out.
"Yep." Craig, like his tall ounterpart, Gary Cooper, was
a man of few words. )
"So grab your camera and notebook, partner, a d let's
mosey out there "
"M.D., will ya and Dugout hold down da corral, Ace and I
will be in da sagebrush huntin' outlaws."
"O.K. Seeya chief. I mean sheriff."
A few minutes later the journalistic posse reached the
Thunderchicken West Care -- nestled in the NOrthington
foothills on Mt. Vernon Rd. -- and trod the Scamp outside.
"Hm," observes Ace "There's no sign on da cafe. Just da
• .,
"Yeah, shoot a photo of it will ya. Maybe that's where all
da bullets ended up..."
"And at da same time,, Ace, will ya get a pix or two of da
cafe itself. Ya know, it s rather western in motif - all red
brick and wood (and complete with a ZBA and PZC inspection
I presume) -- though there's sure a lack of blacktop
in da parking area. I guess dey have a lot of boss and foot
travel."
"Photos are done," shouts Ace "Let's go inside." .
Opening the door, they entered a dimly-lit room and briskly
stepped off the eight paces to a long (darn clean-lboking)
black and red bar
Outside of a front w ndow letting in some daylight, the bar
was lit mostly by a series of signs -- Bacardi rum, Schmidt's
beer, Tuborg beer, a Schaefer beer clock -- and a Budweiser
clock glowing behind the bar A juke box and an electronic
game also contributed feeble red and yellow glows.
The room suddenly became tense as a lady behind the bar
and the few customers -- either "regulars" or already members
by being there earlier than the two strangers -stared at
Marry and Ace
The bar smelt cops
"Acoupleofdrafts.please," ordered Marly. "makeo e
adarkPrior's "
"Adollarthwty," requested the lady. She was neither harsh
nor was she friendly just sizing us up.
Marty prod the tab as Ace claims he's so thin he can't carry
his wallet in his jeans without bulging -- and that would ruin
his Gary Cooper image. M D. and Marty just call it cheap ..
but he's a good photographer and he's also the brand new dad
of a young boy ICraig Whiting Baggott}.
The first beers went down quickly And quietly.
Marty ordered another round The freeze was still on in the
bar as the lady placed the mugs of draft in front of Ace and
Marty
"Onethirtyplease. "
"Yeah,thanks Herehs "
"Hey, Marty, do you tink dey tink we're cops?" asked Ace.
"Probably, dis trench coat of mine doesn't help either• I
think I'll take some notes and ask a few question."
"Say. miss, s this the place where the big hoot out took
place?"
"Yeah." (An icy chdl took over the bar.)
Marry drew out h s notebook and began to write a description
of the Thunderchicken West Care. He jotted down the approximate
size -- roughly 24 feet x 32. A black and red bar
which dominated the room. Four rows of yellow top tables
lined the far wall, near the single entrance door. Each table
was neat Each table had five red padded, biaek backed
chairs Each table was quite clean. In fact, the whole bar was
noticeablely clean
"Where did da outlaw sit da otherday? Marty inquired.
"At the second table," answered the lady.
"Where did da cop sit?"
"The detective sat at the rear of the bar on the last stool
over there,': she pointed. A thaw se.emed to be in the offing. )
"Thanks "
Marty stood up and removed his trench coat. Standing
there in his best editorial grey tweed jacket, he turned to the
attractive lady behind the bar and sat,d, "We're not COlaS,
we r.e reporters doing a follow:up artmle on da big shoot out
ya had h.ere da other day. What s cha name?"
"Oh, that's better. The handle is Alice.."
"NicetomeetchaAlice," said Ace. "Two more beers on
Marty, please "
"How did ya feel during the shoot out?"
."I thought I was going to die today, that's what kept rtmnmg
through my mind, during the whole thing," said Alice.
"I'm OK now, but boy was I scared the other day."

By Robin O'Connell
Last Wednesday
something very special
happened. The band
played; some very important
people gave
their comments; and
the students and
teachers listened. It was
for the memory of Dr.

two trees in memory of
him.
Even though the wind
blew pretty cold, we all
sat and listened. Among
the people there were:
Mrs. Thalherg, Mr. Venditto,
school principal,
Mr. Pyne, school
superintendent, and
Mrs. Rita Lambert,
president of the school
PTA.
Mrs. West's band, the

Knights to the tune of 27- Just think, Lumbra and
A news reporter has to
wonder what kind of
quotes he or she would
get in interviewing
some great names from
the past just before they
met their gyeat
matches. For instance,
what would Custer have
said when asked how his
troops felt going into the
battle of Little Big
Horn? Emperor
Napolean, do you think
the weather will affect
your roopsin Russia?
The same feeling
existed when this reporter
approached SHS
football coach Dora
D'Angelo earlier this
week for a quote on the
Blue Knights' opponent
this Saturday at Fantana
Field, the Falcons
of St. Paul• George
Pleau's team is undefeated
at 7-0 and has
completely demolished
every team in their way
so far this season• They
have featured a
devastating running attack,
led by senior Brian
McCutcheon (20 TD's),
and a smooth passing
'program, with Scott
Dumont leading the
way. As for their defense,
Gary Morin and
Perry Julius are the
frontrunners of a
"hungry" group•
As for coach
D'Angelo's feelings
gd into th 0n : "We
r b oming off the worst
game we've played this
season (27-8 loss to
Eastern). As a matter of
fact, one of the worst
performances a team of
mine has ever
produced. How will they
react against St. Paul? I
sincerely can't answer
that. However, if they
don't respond, they'll
have theirheads handed
to them in a hurry.
"St. Paul is one of the
finest high school foothall
teams I've seen in a
long time. They come
off that ball so quick you
"can't imagine it until
you've seen them• That
McCutcheon: he's
owerful; he's quick;
e's speedy; he's fast:
he's aggressive. There
aren't any adjectives in
the book that will fully
describe him•
"Scott" Dumont is the
best quarterback in this
end o the state. I can't
imagine anyone being
better; he is definitely
college material ... a
very fluid quarterback,
if you know what I
mean• At 6', he has good
size. And he's not afraid
to run ... doesn't worry
about getting hurt• He is
smart ... won't throw
the ball up for grabs•
He'll scramble, sprintout
on options and
freeze the linebackers.
"Their defense is
super on pursuit ... ve
aggressive, • quick, w itr
good size
"This team has no
weakness, and I mean
looked but couldn't spot
one weakness! They
just come at 'ya !"
Meanwhile, D'Angelo
laments his team's lack
of effort. "What bothers
me is, the kids never
were flustered this
season, even in the two
ties, but Saturday
against Eastern they
just gave u'p ... mentally
and physically. I'll tell
you one thing," continued
an angry Blue
Knight coach, "there
will be some changes in
our lineup this Saturday
!"
Fightin' Falcons
St Paul started their
season with a blistering
win over Buckly of Hartford
(44-6) and followed
that with clobberings
over Kennedy of Waterbury
(42-10), Berlin (34-
6), Bristol Eastern (41-
8), Northwest Catholic
(40-6), Bristol C n ral
(42-'[4) and S6uth
Catholic (39-14). And,
said Falcon coach
George Pleau, "We are
yet to play our starters
more than three quarters
in one game•"
This is Pleau's first
year at the helm of St.
Paul, having come down
from Mass. to take over
a post vacated by Al
Pellegrinelli, who
moved on t6 Berlin High
School• Pleau coached
high school football
teams in the Bay State
for 14 years, so he
comes in with a wealth
of experience. "I just
love it down here," commented
the coach who
sounds like the prover-
bial coach with the
golden apple What
coach anywhere
wouldn't love to come
into a situation such as
his? St. Paul is a school
with great spirit• You
can feel it in the
hallways and at their
games -- all sports -- win
or lose• It's a spirit
Southington High School
used to have, but exists
no more. Walk through
the corridors of SHS and
see if you can spot one
Foster on the walls
yping the football
team's next game?
As for coach Pleau's
comments of the
Falcons for '76: "Our
kids have put out right
from our first practice. I
couldn't ask any more
from them. McCutcheon
is a fine example,
coming_ )ff ! year of
non-activity. Brian had
a lower back problem
last season and couldn't
play. He was a
scorekeeper last year
and a scorer this season.
He is a heck of a kid ...
dedicated, great determination
and will
power.
"As for our quarterback,
Scott Dumont,
he is the finest high
school quarterback I
have ever coached,
throwing and running.
"Our leader on defense
is Gary Morin
(6'1"-185), an outstanding
defensive end. If
there is one better
around here, I have yet
to see him. Then we
have Perry Julius
(5'10" - 265), a tackle.
Perry is , big _and
quick, anetaoring the
center of., our line.
Another btg p,layer on
defense for u . iS Our
other end, Mike Miller,
a junior. Mike played a
great game last
weekend. Then there's
Chip Snow, a safety,
who also played a great
game against South
Catholic."
George Pleau isn't
about to downgrade
SHS. "I saw them agains{
Central (14-14tie)
and I thought they were
the better team. They
impressed me on defense.
I don't know what
happened to them
against Eastern, but
they sure looked good
when I saw them," concluded
the undefeated
coach.
As for Saturday's
game, it will mark the
first of three left for the
Knights, who are now 3-
2-2 overall and 2-2-1 in
Colonial Conference
play. Whether they
choose to give up_ and
die is up to them.

Knights Soccer Team Heads
For State Tournament Action -
The SHS soccer team
will find out this
weekend who the.y'll
draw for an opemng
state tournament oppionent.
The Knights
nished their season
with a very productive
10-3 recbrd, winning
their last game from
Plainville on the road, 4-
I, Monday.
The victory over the
Blue Devils was
especially gratifying
since it meant
Southington swept both
their games with', arch
rival Plainville this
season. It was also a
high water mark for
Danny LaPorte, who
scored two goals in the
game to set a record for
goals in one season at
SHS. Danny wound up
with 11 for the season,
topping the previous
record of ten.
Plainville scored the
first goal of the game
when Riera scored at
1:26 of the first period.
However, the Knights
went right to work,
tieing the game on a
goal from Gary Hennessy
at 4:38 of the first
roriod, with an assist
m Danny LaPorte.
LaPorte then put
Southington in the
driver's seat for good
with. a second period
goal (5:41), with an
assist from Mike Giannotti
and Bob Ouellette.
Hennessy and LaPorte
both scored insurance
goals in the last period;
Hennessy's at 1:13 and
LaPorte's at 3:12 Hennessy
assisted on
LaPorte's goal while
Gary's goal deflected
off Gary Soucy, Plainville's
goalie.

this Sunday at

The first game at 11
a.m. will feature the
third place teams in
their respective
divisions, the Jets versus
the Chargers. At 1
p.m. the second place
clubs, the Broncos and
Raiders, will square off.
And at 3 .p.m. the first

League president Ray
Gustavson has announced
that despite
weather setbacks the
league will play all of its
playoff ga.mes, eventually.
Stating further,
"We just couldn't let the
kids .play ball last Sunday
since the field was
so wet and muddy from
the early morning rains.
Anytime there is a
chance of-injury on that

"A LITTLE FULLER CU "
SENICH'S
SPORTSCOPE
Knights' Cen er Of Intelligence
It is the unique athlete who
scores extremely high n the
classroom and stars on the field.
The list is not long when it comes
to that type of "joc.k.' Oh, there
are a couple that qmckly come to
mind, .p ople like Bill Bradley of
the Knlcks and Pat Haden of the
Los Angeles Rams - Rhodes
Scholars and excellent" athletes -
but there aren't that many unfortunately.
There is, however, an athlete at
Southington High School blessed
with that great combination of
brains and brawn. His name is
Mike Pallazo and he's the offensive
center on the football
team. In a recent PSAT Test (Pro-
Scholastic Aptitude Test), Mike
scored one of the highest marks in
them out."
Mike's sophomore year con-,
sisted of playing some jayvee ball
and in his junior year h.e go,t ,some
varsity action against a}oney
"when Russ Barry was njured.
Otherwise I didn't play much-last
season," he stated.
This season Palazzo has been an
integral part of a solid offensive
line for SHS, with the likes f
Larry Celella, Phil DeBischop,
Frank Guistiniani, Richard Bates
and others. Mike is proud of his
fellow mates in the "pits," an
area that needs hard working, unselfish
players who receive very
little ink from game-to-game.
"We have a good group," he
justifiably added. "We've gone up
against some bigger teams, like
thenation;enoughsotomakehim Bristol Central, but we played
a semi-finalist in the 1977 National some good ball. Specifically
Merit Scholarship program, against Central, we made some
SHS Principal John Gasecki in a
recent edition of the Observer,
"represent the top half of one percent
of the nation's most
academically talented young
people."
Mike Palazzo is also president
of the senior class, a member of
the National Honor Society and
sports editor of the school paper,
The Emblem. He was awarded
the 1976 DAR prize, and the
Christopher Cronkite History
Prize.
When asked what kind of a
player and young man Mike
Palazzo is, football coach Dam
D'An elo was off and running
"Mike is a super kid," Dam commented
with that twinkle in his
eye. "He is not only bright in the
classroom, but on the field. Marry
times he will notice something we
might be doing wrong and he'll
tell us about it. We make an adjustment
and things are running
smooth again. And he's a real
gentleman with a tremendous
personality .. what a great credit
to our school!"
Palazzo didn't play football in
his younger years. "I didn't even
realize there was a program for
kids when I was young," he told
The Observer recently. "And
when I did, I weighed over 115
peunds, so I was ineligible."
Weight has always been a
problem for the 5'8" - 215 pound
nneman. "He worked very hard to
keep in shape," said an admiring
coach D'Angelo. "I had to do a lot
of running thi past summer ... a
lot of sprints preparing for the
summer camel And it paid off,"
indicated Palazzo.
The Blue Knights' center
started his football career at De-
Paolo Junior High School where
he played defefise and offensive
and more than held our own. (8-8
tie).
"Against Cheshire (SHS won 21-
6) and Glastonbury (14-14 tie) we
were really coming off the ball,
but against Pulaski we just
weren't doing it for some reason.
The Pulaski game was a
frustrating game for us (SHS lest
15-14 and fell to third place in the
Colonial Conference). I think we
just lost our c0ol in that game, but
we were all putting out "
Asking Mike Palazzo for his observation
of recent Blue Knight
ikames finds him saying things
e, "I didn't really see the play."
The reason being, he ordinarily
wears glasses, except on the field.
"I just keep looking at the
scoreboard when I'm on the
sidelines and when I see fourth
down coming up, I put on my
helmit ready to go in. I don't get to
see some of our touchdowns until
we see films of the game the
following week."
However, fighting the weight
problem, not having the best
eyesight, doesn't phase Mike
Palazzo: he just keeps trooping
along, being a success at
whatever he endeavors. His next
assignment might just well be at
Harvard. "I'd love to go there,"
he said with that far offlook in his
eyes. "But that won't be easy
becaust it's so competitive getting
in there. However, I am in the
process of applying. ,The only
school I've formally apphed for so
far has been UConn. Because of
my high marking in the PSAT I've
heard from schools like Michigan
State and Northwestern."
As for Mike's future in football,
"If I wind up at a school with a
program I feel eapable of playing
n, I'd give it a try, but if I go to
one of those larger schools, I know
I couldn't play on that level. Right

that all existing equipm.e.nt

Masci had *sought a

Th town had gwen the

The Jaycees also
stated they will continue
to support the league in
one of three ways: running
and end-of-season
banquet, funding the
league or purchasing
equipment for the
