Carr and Little Eddie Lane have a great opportun- ity of landing in first place before the first round comes to a close. As 1t now stands Stevens. Hudner, F. Carr and Lane are tied for sec ond place while Lynch and Conlan arc in first place by a half game and Joie Stevens says that his part ner has been getting secret prac- | tice in every day and that when they meet Lynch and Conlan next week they will be in first place and will be in the money.
 Starting off this weeks ping pong schedule, F. Carr and Lane defated Lynch and Conlan by q score of 2l-17, this game was packed with many exciting plays and the winner was not decided un- til after n great game had been played, in the second game of the day Jim McGraw and J. Conlon de- feated "Rumba" Clarke and Flash Camassa to the tune of 2l-15, while in the third game of the day Charlie Connell and Joyce defeated Lew Howard and Boyle to the tune of 21-14, in the first games to Ec played Wednesday Carey and E Carr defeated Johnny Slavin and Farrell to the tune of 21-16. in the second game of the evening Dubu-

 l In the weekly volleyball contest between the Counselor's teams, Jim | (Fire Chie) Kelley and his team came out of the rut after being de- featcd In their last five games, the score was 2l-l9. This game was not | decided until after q great battle had been played. Kelley and his team had to come from behind on several occasions and finally won l the game by a score of 2l-19. Jim says that his team is now back III shape again and that they are go- ing to win the rest of their games and how? Picking an outstanding
 player in the local Columbian Squires basketball team would bt a difficult task as every man plays q wonderful game. Cornell playt | n. Hp, l fensive man and he also was [ good offensive man, while little Johnnie Cohlan has developed in- to q great scoring man and VIII give many q headache to his oppos- ing players, while Ray Cronan and | Greg Gilmartin divided the center position, Ray who make use of tis height under the basket, Greg Gill martin has developed into one of | the best defensive centers in the city, while Hook" Dubuque has a great shoot from the side of the court, he, too, has developed into a great scoring man and he John nie Conlan make q great pair of forwards and will make any two guards in the city work to keep them from scoring, while Captain
 Jim McGraw and Johnnie Slavin divided the other guard position
 between them. both McGraw and Slavin are real ball-haWks and Of late Slavln has replaced the Squire Captain and has been playing out standing basketball, the Squires have been very fortunate in having
 wonderful reserve material: Little
 Bob Carr. who is small but has n wonderful eye for the basket and
 has plenty of fight, Dancing Jackie
 Kelley who has developed into q
 scoring man is an understudy to
 Ray Cronan and Greg Gilmartin,
 while Eddie Lane and Carey have
 been assigned to understudy Jim
 McGraw, Slavin and Charlie Con nell, Joie Stevens also is an un- derstudy to Hook" Dubuque while owen Kyle can fill in at forward or guard and Is at honi. in either position.
 The nearest rivals In the ping pong league to Carr and Lane, Stevens and Hudner were Dubuque and cronaD, but they have been subdued a couple of times this week and are out of the running In the first round.
