Tenpins came back into their own for
the brief period of a night when two
new watermarks were established in
the Colonial League. They were for
high team game and high team set, and
Garrett, to add to the above, came
within a single pin of equaling the
league record for high individual game.
1t all happened when the Pioneers
took the first two games from the
Kiickerbockers only to have the latter
tonne back strong in the third game
with the highest game rolled this year
in the Colonial, 9S3. The new high team
set record belongs to the Pioneers, who
felled exactly 2,s65 pins during the three
skirrnishes. This latter mark is just
1s3 pins above the former league record
for set, and the new standard Of $50
for game betters the long standing fig

Several individuals on the Knicker-
booker and Pioneer teams stand out
prominently in connection with the
steady tenpin rolling which character
i,ed Wednesday night. The new marks
were accomplished purely by means of
arr1 bowling in every instance. none of
the scores having the ''fuky" odor
about them. For instance, the highest
individual game in the remarkable
match was that of Pop" Rodrick, it
being 216.
There were many others which went
over the eGe-Inark, and it is the ability

HOWe's Eli Voice Is
Not Strong Enough Yet

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-Arthur Howe,
volunteer coach of the Columbia sopho-
more football team, put in his first day
OH South Field yesterday. He had been
laying special stress on playing low.
when he noticed that one youth named
Jack Crook had been playing high and
seemingly ignoring Howe's suggestion.
The old Yale star became peeved, ses-
ticulated and shouted at the top Of his
voice. but still Crook ignored the hot
criticism. Howe was about to explode
when President Schultz Of the sopho-
more class walked up to him and con-
fidingly whispered that Crook was a
deaf mute.
