 Herb Hoyt. Bill dloslxy. J. Lcmieux and A. Colombo bowling as q team, won second honors, while K. Knotts team had the honor of finishing last. Frank Kid" Hardy had high single and high three for tho season, the scores being I'll and 40 respective ly.
 But this Is getting away from the banquet. After the prizes had been given to the lucky teams Q long line of "booby' prizes was distributed. Thege included all kinds of foolish- nesses including rubber heels, lemons. roller skates, lengths of gas pipe. etc.
 And by this time everyone was ready for little entertainment, very nicely furnished by the Misses Mo- Coy and Sternberg who put on q poppy program of dancing. Also there were songs by Bill Carbon who remained with the party all evening. His rendition of popular songs and novelty numbers sent tho customers home talking to themselves. The ability to adapt himself to the oc- casion made hit with all present.
 After q few contests were held, in which the ladies competed. dancing was in order for the rest of the eve- ming. lf party is to be judged by the milkmen that arc met on the way home, it can be safely said that there were no lonesome milk dis. pensers in town that morning.
 All arrangements were made by committee composed of r. Hardy ID. shepard, R. Pepin. F. 0aluilo, A. Colombo and Y. Bares. The iateness Of an account of what transpired is due to tse fact that someone finally did manage to wake up.

Cloth Spells World Record Jump - w els Sets World Mark in 40-Yard Hurdles

New Haven, Conn, March 18.- (UP)--A tiny fold of wrinkied Jer- sey probably cost Fred Sturdy, Yale law student, & new worlds indoor pole vault record of 14 feet, l 1-2 inches last night.
 Sturdy, who now competes for the Los Angeles A. C., entered the an- nual firemen's track meet here, de- tcrmined to make q final record ass sault before the close of the indoor season. On his second try at the rec ord height, his body slid over the bar clearly but wrinkle of cloth on his jersey was enough to brush the bar off the supports. He tried repeated ly to match that vault without suc- cess.
 Monty Wells. former Dartmouth hurdler, now running under the col- ors of the Boston A. A., shared stur- dy's applause by tieing the worlds record in the 40-yard hurdles.
