The Institute bowlers have taken q sud
den brace, and are now looking in at first
place in the league race Their triple
victory over the Saengerbund last week
surprised the latter team and all follow
ers of the sport. Not that the Institute
has not demonstrated its ability to win
| games. but that it should have developed
strength so suddenly to down the leaders
so completely.
Winning the full set from the Eagles
last Wednesday added to the weeks
surprise and stamped the team as a win
ner against all comers. 1t gained first
place Friday night through the Saengers'

Manager Edwards states that his bss-
ketball team stands ready to arrange for
a series OF three games with any local
or cut-of-town team for the championship
and a s25 silver cup and individual gold
medals. The conditions are that the
games be played at the end of the regular
season, and in neutral playing field,
and that the team TO be played be regis
tered with the A. A. U.
This latter condition is insisted upon
for the protection OF his men so that their
amateur standing under the ruling of the
A. A. U. will not be affected, SO that
they may always be enabled to compete
in amateur track and field games and
other competitions held under the I'm
ions protection.
The management is. OF course, disap-
pointed over the showing of its baseball,
but it is not discouraged, and feels that

ing this seasons experience to start with.

team in its first season il a local league
failed TO win 4 game.

not very much reflect discred!t upon the
players, all Of whom play hard and al
ways put up good team work.
Richards and MofItt continue to lead in
throwing field goals. They have good
support in Wheatley and BrinkIey. the
clever backs" OF the team. Other play
ers and substitutes of the team are
Thompson. Williams, Chism. and Garner
The club has not taken up the matter of
holding regular class drills in the gym
uasium, but its members take exercise
each according to his own pleasure.
IL is possible that an effort Will be
made to engage the services Of an inStruc
tor, and II Is also quite probable that the
club will again organize a bowling team.
In former years the old team was consld-
cred quite good one and served often to
change the color OF the championship for
this or that leading team.
