AS recently as the season of
1923 and 1929, Friend was literally
sitting atop the local bowling
world. He was well-nigh unbeat-
able. Then last year he was un-
able to hit his stride. He passed
out of the picture.
But Friend hopes to come back
and he intends to make the
Greater Washington Handicap
Sweepstakes a stepping stone back
to the former high pinnacle he
had reached.
John Blick's event is open to all
bowlers with averages Of 10 and
under. Friend, rolling in the
Recreation League on his come
back trail, has a pace of 1O6, well
under the scratch figure.
1t will be a cosmopolitan array
that will be seeking the prize
money. There will be Jack Will
liams, president of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress and
member of the first duckpin
team ever organized in Washing
ton. Joe Michaud, who, back in
1910, was one of the greatest
bowlers of that time, also will
compete, as will many other past
and future stars Of the little pin
game.
The entry lists, which were to
have closed tonight, have been
extended until starting time Sat-
urday. Many bowlers will not
know what their averages are un-
til near the end of the week and
realizing this, Blick agreed to
move back the date.
Afternoon Squad
Because many boWlerS have
made it known they prefer to roll
their five-game sets in the after
noon, an afternoon squad has
been arranged. This will start at
2:3O o'clock while the evening
squad will roll at 8 o'clock.
The handicap system, which
will be used in a big-money tour
ney for the first time, will put
every bowler on a nearly even
footing. All those with averages
less than 10 will be given two
thirds the difference between their
average and ITO.
Blick expects 200 to compete
and should this number enter, the
prize list sum would total $1,000.
Ten prizes will be awarded the
highest bowlers, while IS will be
given on each of the three Satur'
days, November 81 and % and De-
cember 5, to the bowlers making
the most spares and strikes and
rolling the high game and high
set.
After the first block is rolled ct
the Columbia Saturday, the event
will be continued at the Arcadia
and ended on December S at Con-
vention Hall. The entry fee is So
including games. For those who
will roll in the afternoon, the en-
try fee will be SITS.

PIN MARKS FALL
IN INT. RAINIER

Everybody went wild last week
in Section A of the Mt. Rainier
Duckpin League. Tommy, Gal
laher led the way with a 152
game and an even 400 set. Bill"
Beatty, rolling against Tommy,
kept him going by shooting 396
set. With this kind of shooting
Recreation had to set new team
set of 1884 in order to take three
from Gallaher and his Kings
Garage men.
Spires Pharmacy also went into
1923 set to win three from Bos-
wells Real Estate. Despite a
dummy Mt. Rainier was able to
take one from Dixie Pigs and
Blue Bird Billiards took all three
from Maryland Community.
The battle of the season was
fought in Section B, and after
the smoke cleared away, Young
Mems Shop had whipped Sydney
Studios three straight games to
take a lead Of 312 games. Blue
Bird Billiards were only able to
take two from New Corners, while
Woodbridge took all three from
Mayor & Council. Lakeman'S took
the odd game from Brentwood
Market. Burroughs was the vic
tim of a comeback by Sullivan &
Helan, who took two. Bowie took
all three from Aaron's Store to
decide the championship Of Bowie.
Carter took weekly high set with
pinfall of 356 while Snyder put
up a 149 for high game. Stand

Trailing them by IL lengths
came Howard Bruce's Hubar,
with Mr.. Reamer McIntoch up.
The course, said to be the finest
privately owned one in America,
was lined from start to finish
with the 5000 guests of the
Whitneys being jammed near the
finish. Farmers and neary resi-
dents were perched atop the
fences on the course, and they
gave vent to bloodcurdling shouts
as the thoroughbreds sped across
the fields and leaped gracefully
over the brush.
Perfectly Ridden
Stonedale's score was we'll de-
served. He was perfectly ridden
by John E. Ryan, of Philadel-
phia. He showed fine speed on
the flat and carried his 165
pounds over the brush obstacles
in faultless style, but he had to
run a grand race, as Sennacherib
gave battle throughout.

chase over a brush course, proved

DUE
. PRAISE FOR
EFFORTS
By GARRETT WATERS

DY VAA@NGSS
The high school football series
for the season Of 1881 is ended.
But for a scattering of games,
every team in scholastic circles
will put their togs among the
mothballs until 1882.
Tech and Business ended league
play yesterday with their contest
for charity. Tech won as expect
ed, but by one of the largest
scores registered in high school
competition in years.
The final check-up was IS to 0,
The score tells the complete story
of the proceedings. The 1000 or
more fans who turned out TO
help the teams do their bit for the
benefit of the unemployed were
genuine in their support in stick
ing it out" to an end that was far
from interesting after the first few
r--omentS of play.
Well-Driiled Team
They did see well-drilled Tech
eleven, however. They saw the
Hardellmen shift, block, plunge,
run and pass, like the best of
oiled machines and what they
saw was the real stuff, not a
team that won easily just be-
cauSe a weak Business eleven
was the opponent.
Taking the entire season into
consideration, and going back
over the past four years, several
hats off should be raised to Hap
Hardell, coach. The mentor truly
has shown he is the past master
when it comes to developing and
building football teams, and this
years eleve1- is no exception.
Yesterday the Manual Trainers
used the pass for the first time
this season. They did not have to
employ it, but Hardell wanted to
show the world that his team had
not forgotten how to heave the
pigSkin around. It will be remem
bered Tech first kecame famous
for its overhead attack years age
when Gordon Kessler, Jack Rit
ter. and later Homer Drisse
threw the oval like a baseball.
Edwards and Brinkman heavec
the passes yesterday and they
found an adept receiver on every
occasion ii Al Meiklejohn, smal
but sto"kily built end, WHIT
counted three touchdowns.
HardelI Due Praise
Sachs and HatoS, Hardell's two
hefty backs, ran excellently in the
plunging work of the teams at
tack. Sachs hit the line for two
touchdowns while Hatos' play
featured sprints through tackle
He also counted two markers.
Foley, Gormley and Pisano, the
latter one of the many substitutes
on the teams roster. registered
the other touchdowns. Jack
Rhodes, his face still hidden be-
hind big black mask, made good
five placement kicks for extra
points. He tried 10 times.
All in all, it was a typical Tech
triumph. Also the game ended
what has become a typical Tech
season. And in conclusion, it's
hats off" to Ha1dell once as ain
for his splendid and sensational
efforts as a coach, truly the most
outstanding the local high schools
have ever known!
