EAST HkvENERS LOSE IN LAST
 PERIOD RALLY
Joyce Scores B Points in in K. of L. 46-43 Hoop
 Triumph

In basketball game that had all appearances of another rout for the K. of L. Speedboys at the hands of East Haven Jeifersonians, whose lineup included the Yale hoop cap tain Bud Miles, some sharp shoot ing by Joe Joyce and the usual strong rally of the Liths nipped the clever East Haven Club for a 46-43 finish last night at St. Joseph's court. A free-for-all among the spectators was also thrown in with the thrilling hoop game, so that no one complained of not getting their moneys worth when the shooting and fighting was over.
 Strong Start
 In little time after the opening whistle, the Jeffs had an 11-2 lead, but Joyce, who wound up with g points got his range early and kept the locals in the game, though they trailed until the third period, 27-21 being the count at half time. Swir- sky, dimirlutive captain of the visit ors and Jack Weiss of the New Haven Hillhouse New England champion team were continual threats to the Liths, scoring 26 points between them while Miles and Iwanski scored each. Pran- skitis played a strong floor game, Freddie Ferrie being held scoreless for the first time this season while Huey's able floor work, Joe Boley's four field goals and 8 couple of timely hoops by Saldukas kept the K. of L. in front when points were badly needed. Sinking 10 of IA free throws provided the margin of vic- tory for the Liths as each team scored IS field goals, the Jeffs miss ing 6 of B penalty losses. Sum mary:

U. s. Quartermasters Hit l,ll5 For $SO Prize;
 Champs Roll Tonight

New York, April 8. (UP) = Two world champion bowling teams make tonight's session of the Amer ican Bowling Congress tourney dual feature for galleryites.
 The HI Bru Quintet of Indianapo- lis, winners of the ABC team title with a 3,089 in their home town last year, and the Hermann under takers of St. Louis, former world match-game champions, both arc on the schedule.
 These teams alone assure the fans plenty of thrills.
 Tonight's bowlers will have to ascend to extreme scoring heights, however, to surpass the exhibition given by the Quartermaster Division of the U. S. Government League of Philadelphia in their last game last night. A long string of strikes by Al Meyers that brought him 8 288 and the high scoring of the team that brought a 1,115 for the high game scoring honors of the tourna- ment, had the fans on their feet throughout the series.
 And their final score could have been better had 1t not been for foul in the seventh frame that cost the team 29 pins and chance for the third highest game ever rolled in an ABC tourney. As it is the 1,1l5 places as the fifth all-time high and will draw $80 in prize money if not bettered.
 Reinhart Radio Reserves of Phil- adelphia took the evenings scoring honors with games of 949, 1923 and 1,0S6 for a total of 3,028 and third place in team standings.
 Other high scores were a 2,913 by March Millwork of Norristown, Pa.: 2,975 by Tritzel Pretzels of Hatfield, Pa.; 1862 by Gateway Recreation Alleys of Beloit, Wis; 2,832 by Phil co Parts of Philadelphia; and 2.824 by George Washington hotel of New York. Joe Falcaro. former world match-game champion, rolling orl the latter, hit a 539 series.
 Fourth place in the two-mar, event was taken by Jim Auburn and John Smith of Erie, Pa. The best singles score was 680 by John AL berti of Schenectady, N. Y.
