games. and it takes only thought to
know that these five men form COM

and one or two may not roll as well as
year ago, but there Is no denying
that it will take a wonderful aggrega-
ton to beat them out. 1t would be a
very difficult proposition to pick five
better duckpin artists in the south.
The Marine Corps League opens what
Is expected to be another good season
for it tomorrow night, when the Olon-

eral interest was evident and the play
ers everywhere contemplated the ush-
