As the Columbias are without bowling
alleys and still have four home sets to
play. some provision must be made by the
League SO that the games can be p'ayei
on neutral alleys, as it would be a decided
disadvantage to the tzam TO play them On
the alleys Of the team with whieh they
are scheduled to pay. II is possible that
the League Will rearrange the balance OF
the schedule so that all teams will p az
On neutral alleys. A League meeting
will be held on Tuesday evening.
Right here is where the necessity for a
good set Of standard public alIsys wo I'D
have come into play very nicely. The
Columbias might have used them for their
home games provided they were so ar
ranged that they would have been for
these games private alleys, as in the big
public affairs in other cities. However.
everything will be arranged satisfac toriiy
and the sport viii continue to grow in
popularity with each scheduled set played.

letic triumphs aud brilliant gatherings AID
Congenial M tlngs. and will now lend

! pointed at once. and the policy OF enter
/ tanning the members and their friends at
| stated periods inaugurated originally by

zation. will be followed out. The present
! location of the club assures the success of
! the social features.
The annual election of officers will be
/ held the. secOn, Wednesday in February,
| and there is already considerable interest

/ in the new home. 1t Is generally conceded
that all the present principal officers will
be reelected There will be a new dealing
out Of standing committees.

with an average OF lji Rodier had AN ay-
| erage of 152 l-3, followed closely by Ricke,
with l5i l-3. which showed consistent
| steady bowling on the part of this trio
| Won Boeckman dropped below his stan
dard, but he may be relied upon to do good
work right along. Gilbert took S Desio's
place and worked hard, but showed the
lack of team practice.
In the new clubhouse a gymnasium out
fit as large as the new quarters will ac.
| commodate will shortly be set up and used
| for mild exercise by the members Fol
| the present no effort will be made to have
athletic competitions. On the water. as
| several times stated here. the club will be
more than ever active during the coming
summer. The already large feet of boats
| will be added to where there appears TO be
a necessity for doing so.
Carroll Institute Athletics.

tive one-both the junior and senior classes
being larger than ever before. The average
