In putting interest into the bowling game

fail in the purpose Of bringing back the
trophy. the interest aroused will no doubt
do much good.

leadership of Johnny vaeth. came here
on the sth Of January. substituting for
the Martinsburg 1--WE, who were held back
with injuries TO the men, and went back
to the Monumental City with a margin
of sevcnty-nve pins in the FIRST five
games.

ington team went to MartinsburE with a
ninety-one pin margin, but this margin
was cut down in the first game, giving
