MORE enlightening is the fact that
the championship was won by the
only girls team in the competition,
probably the first time in such an in
stance in which members OF the
weaker sex have been given a chance
to compete on even terms with their
male colleagues.
Through handicaps, which reduced
the traditional stronger sex to their
own level. however, the girls-or Les
Femmes," as they were called-found
themselves on equal footing with the
opposite sex as match started. It
was up to them, then, to beat the boys
from then on, which they did.

The first three masters have been
full of the same brand of exciting
episodes. AS the crack field of pros
and amateurs moves into action,
each seems to be wondering just
where the lightning will strike.
The appearance of Bob Jones in
his one-a-year stand adds amaz-

He doesn't want to be showed up

Lone Girl Team IN Pin Loop
Triumphs as Handicap Race
Nearly Ends in General Tie

THAT the theory Of handicaps in
league bowling matches, If
utilized to the ultimate, will
L result in practically an even
race, has been proved by the Central
Presbyterian Intra-Church League,
which has just ended its season.
Experimenting with full handicaps
for mere competitions sake, officials
felt more than justified when the final
standings of the four-team loop
showed only two games difference be-
tween the first and last place teams,
with three of the four having a chance
for the championship to the last box
of the last game. The three teams
which did not win finished with iden-
tical records, tied for second or last
place honors!
