to import one of the two top-notch
Baltimoreans, either Jacobson or
Pickus. Quite few of the 1tal-
ian All-Stars favor the latter
idea.
There is also a cIamor to
make the annual affair a first and
second team series, so that the up
and coming Jewish and Italian
bowlers will get a chance to show
their stuff and bid for future
chance on the first team. The
latter plan may be adopted If the
first Jewish team is permitted to
add Baltimore bowler.
Powerful Lineup
The Hebrews could muster a
powerful first team with Jacob
son or Pickus in the lineup, along
with Rosenberg, Simon, Sam Bort
nick, Dave Legum and Hymie
Schecter.
They would have besides the
sixth man on the first team, Hy
Goodman, Abe Weinberg, Joe
Blendman, Milt Kolodin, AL Tenen-
baum and Ralph Goldberg to use
on the second team, and all these
rising duckpin-spillers are "holler-
ing" for chance.
With Pacini, Santini, Freschi,
Pricci and either Tony Maley, cur.
rent Italian champion; Pete Coo
cuzzi or Bob Miciotto in the fifth
position, the Italians would place
a crack first team on the floor.
Guido Trilli, Otto Santini, Mike
Vitale, Angelo Gamma, Johnny
Micro, Frank Pricci, Tony Leone,
Leo Rinaldi, Louie Bonbrest,
Stuart Patti and several others
would be available for the second
team.
1t is very likely that if match
cannot be arranged between the
All-Stars, the second rate bowlers
of the two races will carry on the
traditional feud.
The matches are expected to be
arranged for late in February or
early March.

Consider Several Plans

match are trying to solve the di-
lemma so that the series. which
has done much to boost local
bowling, will continue.
Several plans are under consid-

sire because the players them
selves will make the situation
such. It's familiar theme, but
it's like that every year, and it's
interesting no end.
This theme made itself ever
prominent in yesterdays contests
as even more of an Illustration.
In the Tech gymnasium, the
Tech and Western fives lined up
against each other. There was
nothing left in the series for the
two teams but second place be-
cause Eastern was so near the
championship that it wasn't even
exciting.
Yet this desire to win did not
bother the players moment. In
stead their chief desire was to win
in order to gain the next best
position in the standings.
One of those thrillers ensued.
Western triumphed, 80 to 80, but
not before the crowd of about 500
had been entertained to the fullest
extent.
In the meanwhile, Eastern was
clinching the championship in a
38-to-31-victory over Roosevelt on
the Roosevelt floor.
AS said before, what the Lincoln
Parkers accomplished did not
enter the minds of the Tech and
Western players. Their thoughts
were on playing their collective
heads off for second-place honorS.
Tech in Rally
The closing moments of the
contest found Tech in the midst
of one of it's famous eleventh
hour rallies. Josh Billings, who
had been a big disappointment
in the series up to yesterday,
was all over the floor. Three
baskets swished through the rims
from his slender arms while a
foul toss added the Westerns
concern.
Tech started its rally at the
start of the final quarter. 1t
trailed 26 to 10 then, but by the
time the last three minutes rolled
around it had deadlocked the
count at % %.
Westerns determination to halt
the rally asserted itself at this
point, however, as baskets in
quick succession by Joe Hanley
and Clarence Allen settled the
game just before Milton MULTI
