Il handsome prize, for far none of the
teams in the tourney has been able to roll
3.0c2, which was the grand total of the
points made by the Navy boys on the Pal

n league games until this season, had the
remarkable score of 653 for his three games
or almost an average of 21S for each game.
He opened with 225, followed with 205 and
closed with 223. Next to him was O'Don-
nell, who rolled $50 having scores of DOL
pa and 22o. Collins was third best player
of the two teams. his grand total reaching

went to Brown Of the Navy team, who ran
