are to bowl against the Royals and the
five men with the highest scores ac-
tually will figure as the Chevy Chase
team. Five men, picked from one club,
rolling straightaway against the Royals
would have little chance to win, but
with ten men and the nve highest sets
to count, a different story might be
told.
Following the match the club mem

tertain the Royals. The Royals are TO

to represent Chevy Chase have not yet
been designated.
The Knights of Columbus League is
to close its season Friday night. De
Soto and Trinidad are running such
close race that it is highly probable
the championship will not be decided
until the end of the schedule. In fact,
the title probaly will be in dispute
until the last nights play is ended, as
the present leader is scheduled to ap-
pear in the final match. There is

is the close race that has developed
between Krauss and Lewis of the
Royals and Vaeth of the Grand Cen
trails for high honors among the indi-
viduals.

for the season. but his 400 set was

for all time established by Ray Chaplin
with his 434 set. Vaeth also leads in
