Secretly, this is one of the major points of the contest although 1t isn't generally known. The judge wouldn't have the general public get wind of it for the world.
 In all seriousness, why don't you y or two? We want to get everybody in the contest for it's all in a spirit of fun and frolic. Oh-the judge almost forgot to tell you-a cer- tain young lady called up this morning and asked how many an- awers the judge received. The cer- tain young lady was told to hush up," and what's more. the general public will have 10 take the judges word in this matter when he says that the contest is a bowling sue cess no matter from which angle you look at it. Maybe you don't like all this prattle but if you read between the lines you can collect volumes of dope" leading up to and securing the dollar for your own little self.
