KNIGHTS or colt MBUS LEAGUE,

Last week might we'll be called the
week Of the big uprising in the Casey
Leagues. Balboa. celebrating its escape
from last place the previous week,
gave the full count to the l3adinG
Christophers. who thereupon slid all
the way to third. Ovando ran afoul
OF the tail-end De Sotos. while the
latter were having one of their mo.
ments, and found it necessary to roll
a Isis SET to capture two games.
Genoa. with the evenings high
game of $50 and set of 1,529. could
claim only two games from Salvador.
Pinta put three games where they
would do Trinidad the least good, and
Trinidad dropped from fifth to seventh
place. In the remaining set, Colum-
ha and Santa Maria put on what is
known as "hot" match. Despite the
handicap of a dummy, Columbia upset
calculations by taking the odd game.
Werner of Salvador recorded the
weeks high game. chalking up Nv,
closely pursued by Betz of Genoa with
127. Other games above 10 were
numerous. Betz continued his good
work throughout the evening and
registered 341 for high set. Muir
laugh of Ovando followed rather
poor second with 326. just ahead of
tioc't of 325 sets.
Next Wednesday, the last bowling
night before Christmas, the league is
offering a number of special prizes.
Despite, the confident claims of GER
tain bowlers, the league is sticking to
it's decision not to award the prizes
unlil after the returns are in.
