 the Center church troop has won all 12 meets conducted by the coun- cl and the other troops are out to snap this remarkable string of vic-
 tories. This year the defending champions will have a particularly
 hard time, it Is expected. as the
 two classes Of troops have been
 abolished and all will compete with
 each other. This will make for much kcener contesting and great
 CT interest. it is anticipated by Scout Executive o. A. Erickson and the scoutmasters' committee which drew up the rules.
 These rules have been changed

 will be scoutcraft. first aid, friction

 bal message relay. potato race, ob- stacle race, and over the top race. The first aid event will require four
 men this year instead of two as in
 the past. The knot tying race has been altered to add a little running and put a strain on the knots to prove their effectiveness. String
 burning has been substituted for

 new. All other events have been let

 ble player but plays in consistent
 hard luck. He played we'll yester-
 day. but not we'll enough to defeat
 John Zaleski and was eliminated in the third annual contest in which
 he has taken part.

 whom Zaleski had to overcome for
 the title were Walter kaczmerzck I12 years old. of 3l5 High street, ] who won four preliminary games
 before he took the count, and John
 Rustico, little left handler with a
 true eye with whom Zaleski had
 quite a struggle in the final contest
 of the afternoon. Other players who
