The new rules put into use generally
in the bowling leagues this year. and
adopted last season by the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association, are causing
the sport to be productive of much
smaller scores than usual. While it is
not to be expected that big counts will
be made in the early part of the year.
it Is evident that there are not going
to be as consistently high marks regis
tered as was the case a year ago, and
it is due to nothing other. than the new
regulations regarding the pins and
balls.
During the bowling done by several
of the circuits which were active last
week ore or two games were chalked
up above the average. but on the whole
the counts ran very small. And it is not
probable that there will be anything
like as good averages this year as last.
several of the best pin spillers in the
city having expressed the opinion that
the new conditions would lower the
averages of the various Players by five
pins OF course. it is well known that
there will be exceptions to that, but as
a general thing it is very apparent
there will be a great diminishing of
high scores.
At least one man thinks that a mis-
take has been made, and he happens to
be rated as about the best all-round pin
spiller in Washington-Harry Krauss.
In talking over the subject with some
alley enthusiasts the other day Krauss
Said:
much satisfaction with the size Of the
pins and balls now being used as there
was with the others. Generally speak
ing. do not think the bowlers will lie
able to control the ball as well as il it
were little larger. and question very
much IL the pins are as large as they
should be. The average bowler wants
to get a creditable score when he rolls,
and the more expert players desire to
have ball of such size that they will
know just where II Is going the ma
jority Of times 1t leaves their hands:
doubt II that will be the case now Had
the balls been made five inches instead
Of four and three-quarters I think the
results would have been much more
satisfactory. OF course. realize that
it takes some little time to get accus-
toned to any change. and it may be
that the smaller ball will later come
to he regarded with general favoritism. -
Take the records made last year in
one league. for instance, the District
II such marks as were secured then
are to be set this season there will
have to he whole lot better form
shown and much higher scores regis
tered than has been the case In the
opening days. Here are the records for
the District circuit last year:
High individual average. w. e. How
ser, l09.14: high individual score. DR..
e. C. Shade, 1863: high individual set. H.
F. Krauss. 3ss; greatest number Of
spares. H. Stanford. 1871; greatest num-
ber Of strikes. William e. Howser. SO;
high club set, Belmonts, LII; high
club game, Beluonts. sos,
Such records as these may be dupli-
Gated, but 1t is doubtful IL anybody be-
lieves they will-not with the balls and
pins in use at present.
Many bowlers think the Royals will
make a runaway race of the District
League this year. In fact, one of the
best players on one Of the other clubs

With only a minute left of the third
quarter, HaverfordS succeeded in get
ting away with long forward pass,

The Farmers were not able to gain con-
consistently against Haverford's fast
charging forwards, while excepting a
few moments at the start Of the con-
test and in the few gains on which
the touchdown was made the Haver-
ford offense was not dangerdous.
Crossman and Moon played brilliantly
for Haverford, while the work of
Hindman and Axt was best for the
Maryland team. Crosman was the par
ticular light. gazing much ground.
| The game was marred considerably by
many arguments between officials and
players, the former having to take re-
