Team Goes to State Tourney

Thursday morning marked the de-
parture Of the leading men in Misha-
wakas two big winter sports bowling
and basketball, for their respective
tournaments in an endeavor TO bring
back fame 10 their home city. The
Ellsasser bowling team and the Reg
Ulars. accompanied by a few fans, left
on the special bowling train which Is
conveying the teams from the middle
vest out of Chicago 10 the American
Bowling Congress tournament at Buf-
falo, which is now in progress.
Tense excitement prevailed at the
Lake Shore depot when the bOwlers
began gathering nearly an hour before
train time. Several of the big bowl
ers arrived early and paced the plat
form in eager anticipation of the COM
ing roll for big prizes and fame Fri
day. The teams expect TO arrive at
Buffalo late this evening and will bowl
off their five-man events Friday morn
ing The doubles and singles viii be
bowled Saturday and the teams will
return sometime during Sunday.
The teams leave with confidence
that they will figure in the prize
money. since as yet the five-men event
total is less than $500 at the tourna-
ment. II the Ellsasser team hold up
their rolling to the average OF the
present season there is little doubt
but that they will come in for the
money.
Mr.. Ellsasser stated Thursday morn
ing in regard TO Mishawaka men at
the tournament: Il expect that the
Ellsasser team will roll between $500
to 1850. but with little luck l hope
they will topple the pins for $500 or
better. l have every confidence that
we will figure III five men events, but,
also in the doubles and singles"

make an exceptionally good showing
and after a great deal of study of the
possible teams, we will play up until
the fifth game, there is no doubt but
what we will make a showing. OF
course. we must win from each OPP

out at the first game lost There is
also a possibility that we may win
from the teams left at the fifth, but
this is rather doubtful"
This is the first year that Misha-
waka has ever participated In any
state tournament. Monay was raised
which made the trip possible at the
South Bend Mishawaka game two
weeks ago. when the members of the
athletic association paid cash admis-
sions instead of using season tickets.
