The bowling team is making decided
headway in-the bowling league series, and
by winning the two last games from the
Y. NJ. G.. A. materially helped its average.

bowling strong and steady games.

| of our local bowers ismissed. His bowling
| would help the team materially.
The team will not play again until Jan
uary 3. when ii plays the Y. NJ. G. A. upon
