CHlCKASAWS BARELY LEAD

The three-man tournament Of the Y.

One of the hardest team battles Of the
year IS now on between the Chickasaws
Captain Overacker), the IrOquOis cap
tain Eiker). the Sioux Captain Thomp-
SOM. and the Seminoles Captain Nor

lead over the Iroquois Of just one game,
the Iroquois over the Sioux Of one game.
and the Sioux over the Seminoles Of two
games. Should the Chlckasaws lose one
OF their next series, TO be bowled next
Friday night, the IroquOis would tie
them for first place, and should the
Seminoles defeat the IrOquois II would
put the SeminOles In a position 10 make
