YULE|TIDE Event
CARNIVAL FOR.
Dub BOWLERS.

Even the most anaemic Of Wash
ington's enormous bowling fra
ternity should take a flyer in the
annual Star Yuletide Duckpin
Tournament which is in progress
at all bowling establishments Of
the city and suburb.
Think Of it. For the price Of the
games only you can place yourself
Ia line to share in q $500 melon
and you can bowl not only on your
favorite mapleway but any time Of
the day that it Is convenient to
you.
GENEROUS HANDICAP
Besides that you get q generous
handicap, half the difference be-
tween your highest average last
year and 125 for men and 1l2 for
women, "spot" can not be more
than IS pins for men and so pins
for women.
-, One out Of every four bowlers
will go on to the finals and the
finals themselves will be rolled at
the establishment which suits the
whirn Of the participant.
PRICE OF GAMES
And all for the price Of the
games. If q more convenient,
more attractive tournament for
dub" bowlers cen be arranged,
the duckpin world would be glad
to hear Of it.
# any of Washington's 10000
bowlers fail to shoot in this
event, then they are utterly lack
ing in sporting blood which in
cludes the meagerest amount Of
red corpuscles.

High School Basketball
Cagers in Stiff Prebs
For Opening Loop Games

Valley high school cage teams to-
day resumed practice in prepara-
ton for the opening games of the
season Friday night when El Cen
tro meets BraWley at BraWley, CAL
exico meets Imperial on the Border
City court and Calipatria meets
Holtville at Holtville.
Brawley, by virtue of its easy
win in the inyitational tournament,
is an outstanding favorite to take
the measure Of the Ell Centro Spar
tans, who they beat 41-22 in the
tourney, CaleXico is favored over
Imperial and Calipat-Holtville game
is regarded toSsup.
Despite the fact Brawley is an
outstanding fayorite to down FL
Centro, the Spartans are confident
they will turn in a victory. The
Central quintet has shown vast i'm
provement in each game Of the
season.
They opened the year with a
miserable showing against Noun
tain Empire, losing 26-11 In the
game against Brawley the Spartans
looked better but were beaten badly.
In the consolation finals they
walloped Calipatria 26-6 and the
hopes of Central fans rose.
Beverly Hills was next on the
schedule and though the coast team
won 1920, the Spartans put up
their best game of the season. Only
the deadly accuracy of the Beverly
Hills team foul shooting kept the
coast clrN in the running in the
first half. The Central team sur
prised the experts By completely
bCttling up the famed Beverly at
tack and had the Elliotmen on the
run most of the game.
The Imperial Calexico game
promises to be runaway with CAL
eXico on the long end Of the score.
