pion. He is also undefeated this
season.
Gholson and Ward are setting
a fast pace for Coach Chuck
Quinlan's charges. Gholson has
won all four matches this season,
while Ward has two wins in two
starts. Ward did not compete in
the opening matches with V. P. 1.

Racing associations that hike up

patronage from outside cities on

When he was knee high to a

bowling family, was the staunch-

Today the picture has changed.

and long for their kid brother,
who has been carrying on the faul-
lily tradition in a typical Krauss
fashion.
Last night, Bill, who is in his
early twenties, pounded out a 403
set to grab first place in the indi-
Vidual average championship bat
tie which is being waged in the
Mems District League.
Boasts 124 Average
He is boasting a 1923, one pin
better than Joe Harrison, former
national duckpin champion, and
six pins more than Ollie Pacini,
one of the country's outstanding
stars, who dropped from first place
to third when he only rolled a

124-3, and Astor Clarke, present

But it wasn't until Clarke ran
into a terrible slump, Ollie Pacini
taking his ups and downs and
Joe Harrison throwing in poor sets
in opportune moments that Bill
was able to reach his goal.
400 Set Does 1t
Edging close last week with
1856, Bill grabbed the top rung
last night with his fifth 400 set
of the season when Pacini and
Harrison both dipped their marks
with 343 and 359 sets, respectively.
A newcomer to big-time bowling,
Fred Murphy made a brilliant de-

he pounded out the top set of the
night, a sparkling 427, with games
of 148, 141 and 1873.
The pennant chase grew hotter
when Occidental Restaurant closed
in on Rose Liquor Store, winning
two games from Arcadia while
Lucky Strike was taking the odd

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-For the

varsity team, and there are eight
of them, will be in action at home
on Saturday, and with four plebe
contests. a monster bill of an even
dozen events will be presented.
Visitors will have to pick and

the old three-ring circus will be

the same time in the gym, orm-

In the evening, it will be differ"

ing with the University of Vir-

the whole winter season.
Virginia and the Navy have
met in the ring five times, and by
virtue of straight victories in the
last three matches. Virginia is the
one team which can boast to hold
the edge over the Sailors in a ring
series. Naturally, the Navy is in
tent on evening matters.
With the Navy's victory over a
great Syracuse team last Satur-
day, and Virginia's defeat by Mary

have a real chance to come
through, but there will be no over
confidence. For one thing, the re-
