This will make it unnecessary
for participant to give up an
entire evening to the tournament
Instead of spending three hours on
the drives, as last year, when
bowler took his turn with four
others. he will be finished with his
five games we'll within an hour
and IS minutes. In the case of
women, the time will be much
shorter for they will roll only three
strings each.
SQUADS will shoot at $50, 7:45, 9 and
1915. This would permit one to take in
a movie no matter with which squad
listed. An even more desirable feature
of this arrangement is the shorter wait
between frames. Alternating with only
one other bowler is to most ideal One
isn't rushed into fatigue, nor is his
patience tried. Nor is he crowded OH
the bench while not rolling.
Masons to Enter 100.

its enterprising president, Frank Thorn

Shortly after The Stars tournament
a novel event will be concluded at the
King Pin. No. 2. Qualification play is
now under way in Harry Armiger's
"f1ve-back" tournament and will con-
tinue until January Z.
In "fve-back," a game invented by
Armiger, who manages the King Pin,
No. 2, the back row, with No. pin
moved back into line, is the target.
But the big idea is to shoot between the
pine, the misses counting as do marks
in the regular game.
The 80 bowlers with the 10 high
scores will be eligible for the roll-off,
the first round of which will start
Wednesday, January g. No elimination

selves into classes The l6 high scorers
in the first round will form, the cham
plcnship fight and the others the con-
ISOLATION group.

night, the defeated eight in each fight
passing out of competition The field
will be cut in two after each round.
Five games will constitute a set.

ner-up, $40 and in the consolation
flight. the winner will collect $40 and
the runner-up. IS. The bowler with
the highest single game during the
roll-off will receive IS.
"Five-back' is fascinating form of
bowling. with the action much faster
than in the regular game.
