ALL PLAYERS
WERE GOOD
IN SCHOOL
BY DANNY GILL

Practically any member OF the
Thursday night Intercollegiate
Duckpin League will tell you:
"We're not such hot bOwlers
but we have a darn, good time"
And he's partially right when
he tells you that for they do en-
Joy themselves. But he's giving
0 false impression in describing
the capabilities of the bowlers in
such modest language as there
are but few leagues, other than
the all-star outfits, which can
Surpass the former collegians for
consistent scores.
It was five years ago when the
suggestion that duckpln league
with teams representing the
major colleges became an actual
Gty.
Eight teams made up the origi-
nal league, they being Maryland,
Lehigh, Dartmouth, Cornell, Navy,
Princeton, v. P. l., and Brown.
Yale and v. M. I. were admitted
at the end of the first year and
they were soon followed by Mich
igan and Harvard. It became a
14-team loop last season when
Oregon and Pennsylvania became
members.
Natural Rivals
There are some natural foot
ball rivals among the schools re-
presented with Pennsylvania and
Cornell being termed as such
along with Princeton, Yale and
Harvard. Each team, with the
exception of oregon meets at least
one of the other members on the
gridiron.
So it is with considerable in
terest one goes over the rosters of
the duckin spillers to find just
who have participated in some
form of athletics when they at
tended school with the following
results:
Maryland-Jimmy Burns baseball
and fOOtbalD: Bump Buell. (track); Bob
Haig (tennis, captain); Larry Phillips

Their year starts with a ban
quet at Congressional Country
Club and their other big events
include a turkey match, a ban
ouet at Christmas time, a trip to
Baltimore to meet a similar
league in that city with all IA
teams competing, a return match,
and a field day and banquet at
the end of the year. The money
from the league treasury goes
for the above activities instead of
being given out in the form Of
cash prizes.
