What do you know about Vince Alascia? 0

I came across something today that I thought was really cool.  In 1931, Vince Alascia the inker would have been 17 years old.  Just about the right age to be reading this "Open Road" magazine for boys.  

And in 1931, somebody named Vincent Alascia from NYC received honorable mention in this art contest.  The pieces fit, IMHO, but I'm no expert.  Do you know more about Vince than what I learned in a few minutes of Googling?  It seems likely the contest winner and the inker are one and the same, but I'd love to know what you think.

Oh, and the magazine has one more pre-comics comic book connection. The advertising manager was a character by the name of Leverett S. Gleason.
