BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

IF all of the VARSITY letters won
by the bowlers of his Intercol-
legiate Alumni League in their
college days could be aggre-
gated, alphabet soup, by comparl-
son, would assume the aspects of
the CleareSt broth, asserts Tad
Howard, proprietor of the Rendez-
vous, where the intercollegiate
loop, Tad's pet duckpin circuit,
holds forth.
Bolstered by a pair Of former college
athletes from Harvard and another
from Michigan, the two new teams

legiate Alumni League now boasts Of

the Countrywide. Harvard, Princeton,
Navy. Maryland V. NJ. /. Brown, " P.

They range from the class Of SO to
the class of 80 and, take it from Tad
Howard, they stage real bowling battles,
partly because they are aiming for the
championship, won by Maryland last
year, and partly because former ath-
lete's waistline can grow so very large
when his more active sports career is
ended.

y-11 l1n ENr IDr1 IL
to beat Yale. Gottshall also was a

V. M, I. is the only team without
former college star. The loop has
grown rapidly both in size. point of
interest and caliber of bowling 1t still
lacks a boxer and hand ball player,
but at the rate it has been adding new
names which formerly played prom
1nent parts in athletic history of these
colleges, Tad Howard asserts that next
year is sure to bring both boxer and
handballer and maybe bridge expert
for good measure.
