Good evening"

Good evening"
 The gang should be primed to- morrow night for a big evening after doing justice to the old gob- bier Thanksgiving day. Any alibl that it was too much turkey will not be accepted for "putrid" scores as all have had plenty of time to get over the effects of the holiday
 The latest averages to be re- leased show Nick Calnbrese lead. ing the way with 113. Bus Wal lace by reason of his spectacular lowing two weeks ago forced his way into the contender's position with an average of 11O. Following him we find Vic Baker with 1OS while at Bakers heels are Bob Mel. son, McNuIty, Christensen and George Sullivan all with 1O8. In- dications are that Nick is going to have Q fight on his hands to stay in the lead.
 Last week in mentioning the various ones who rolled in great style, we overlooked Frank Mon- aghan. We are sorry, Frank, for we meant to tell the world about that high single of 142 and 354 for the three strings. We'll do better the next time.
 Fay Vincent returned to his alma mater, old Eli, Saturday to see them take on the Princeton Tigers We haven't seen him since, so we cannot report Fay's reaction on the result.
 Bob Lagerquist states that he will not give out any interviews until his team is in first place. Bop thinks an interview before the game puts a jinx on the team. Has any one a hibbit's foot?

Sometimes when he reached his home at very late hour, our Walter Winchell would see the. light go on and then our friend would go in the next room, and secure a pack of card sand go through a series of gyrations. It became so serious and our friend had lost weight so fast that he became a~mere shadow of 24C pounds. At first it was thought that he was telling fortunes, but it was unbelievable that fortune tell ing would have such an effect upon 8 fellow unless he was trying to solve the money question and he could have used Ouija board If he wanted to do that.
 We finally decided to put OUT meter department sleuths on the trail and they have reported back that everything is Jake on the Naugy for the mystery has been solved. Kiely has taken up con. tract bridge. Downcast because O1 his showing in golf, disheartened because he has not attained great heights as a bowler, he finally turned to bridge for consolation. Frank Monaghan was retained as teacher with Howard Hum phries and Stuey Heitman as ac- cessories to the fact or shall we call them accomplices. Jim must be given credit for one thing at least and that is. whatever his friends lack in playing ability, they certainly pack the old height, reach and weight. We are not cer- tain but we understand Jim Is striving for a sheepskin in the col-
