Team Standing

The Bureaus made a gallant effort to beat
out the seasons record of 996 made by the
Interiors, but fell short of it just one pin in
their second game against the Aggies.
The Commissioners terrific pin onslaught
in their match with Interiors resulted in
hanging up new figures for a set, their total
of 1885 being pins better than the Inter-
iors' record-breaker of the previous week.
This scores an advance of 10 pins in game
average for the Commissioners, and regains
for them the second position.
The Navy and Treasury also chalked up
rev high single games. the former displac-
ing 500 with 9S7. and the latter 80 with 951.
The money makers increased their total for
set from 2040 to 2,676. gain of 1876 pins
and also advanced pins in game average

three in average. and the other teams scored
advances as follows: c. and L.. {: Navy. s.:
