SOUTH BEND WILL
LOSE COME RENCE
LapOrte High School Anxious
to Get Athletic and DeCIama-
ton Contests This Year
High School Here in Bad.

South Bend will probably not be
the scene of the annual Northern In
diana Athletic association field meet
this spring. Laporte high school,
backed by the Chamber of Commerce
there, are anxious TO get the meet.
The meet last year was poorly at
tended, while the defamation con-
test in the evening was witnessed by
a handful of people. The heads Of
the association at that time. express
ed their displeasure at the situation
and strongly limited that the meet
might be taken somewhere else. The
action taken by Laporte is the first
step made towards securing a new To-
cation.
Prin. F. L. Sims and Asst. E. I.
Kizer said Thursday morning that
they knew nothing about the action
taken by Laporte, but both had
doubts as to South Bend being the
scene of the meet unless better sup
port, both in the athletic meet and
the defamation contest was offered
the association. Even then it was
doubtful. as the conduct of the stu
dents last year in putting on a dance
the evening Of the defamation con-
test and drawing patronage away
from it, was considered a direct af-
front by the association.
Nothing definite Will be decided un-
til the February meeting OF the as
ISOLATION, the date Of which has not
been announced.
Should Laporte be successful in Sc
curing the meet il will be a blow
to the school here, as South Bend has
had the use Of the fine athletic field
at Notre Dame through the courtesy
Of the college authorities and the
meets had some to be an annual af-
fair in school history.
The only place Laporte could hold
the meet would be at the fair
grounds where the race track is sit
uated, and this is greatly inferior to
the accommodations at NOtre Dame.

ELLSASSER HALL NOW
LARGEST IN INDIANA
New Alleys at EIISaSSer InSti-
tuition Opens Tonight With
All Leagues Represented
Twelve Alleys Now in Use.

Tonight the EIsasser bowling hall
will rank as the largest alley hall in
the state of Indiana. Thursday
morning the Brunswick Bake Col
lander CO. of Chicago completed the
installation of the six new additional
alleys at the Ellsasser institution.
All five leagues now bowling in the
Ellsasser IA spring bowling tourna-
ment will be represented by teams of
their leagues on the opening night
giving each league a share in the
opening hOnOrs. The teams to bowl
on the new alleys tonight will be the
Regulars of the City league; HoOsiers
of the Mishawaka league; Vacs of the
Ball Band league; Adjusters of the
South Bend Watch Factory league.
and the Ball Band and Studebaker
waka Manufacturers league which
opened their contest in the tOurna-
ment for the first time.
The opening of the new alleys
marks the entrance of Mishawaka in
20 the bowling ANNALS of the cOun-
try as there is no doubt but what
Mishawaka in proportion TO its
population ranks highest for bowling
spirit in the entire country
Two years ago +. G. Ellsasser en-
dowed with the idea that Mishawaka
and South Bend would respond with
patronage If an up-to-date bowling
hall was established here, built and
installed six alleys at a cost of sew
eral thousand dollars in the base
ment of the present building he now
occupies. Formerly before the new
alleys were installed, all the fans of
this community had for bowling was
two alleys where the present first hall
us now locate d. For several years
leagues were organized and used
these drives. Each night the leagues
bOwled the hall was filled to capacity
with fans who took an interest in
the sport seldom manifested except
ms IN the larger cities. Mr.. Ellsas-
ser at the opening of this season
found that the six alleys he had in
stalled last year would not fill the
need and demand and decided TO
place six more on an upper floor.
Work was started several weeks ago
and large force of men were put to
work to push the construction TO
rapid completion so that the alleya
could be opened at the beginning of
the IA spring tournament.
The new alleys were installed in
the new addition to the X. Il. s. build
ing which was constructed over the
present billiard hall at the rear of
the institution
The installation Of the new alleys
was under the supervision of Ernst
PetrOsky and Richard Laube of the
Bake COllander Co., who
are experts in this work. Both men
have been making installments of al
leys for several years and both have
worked on some of the biggest bowl
ing halls in the country.
The Dodge Bowling club rolled
their weekly matches Wednesday
evening on the Mishawaka hotel al
