The Hills started off with a goal which was matched by the Duces but a foul by Sweeney put the Hills ahead only to fall back, Lacilla scoring his second goal. The quarter ended 4-3 in favor of the Duces. The Duces held this one- point advantage to remain in front at the end of the first half 9-8.

Vaughn and Slason were tops for the Hills.

Italian Recreation Bowling League Notes

Hail to the champs-California!! l! Credit in abundance must be grant, ed to this great winning team. The great and only "Siggy" Bianco, to my way of reasoning, deserves the bulk of the praise because of his natural perseverance,, loud talk. ac- tive advise and all around fighting ability. "Mumps" Guerrero steps next into the spotlight. He demon- strated his great courage and tact full acceptance of boasts and knocks. "Heaver" Rossi came through with flying colors time and time again; just aS matter of proof, he rolled in the honorable fourth position of his teams lineup. Class TX" Coc- chiola, termed as a tiller-in decided at least half dozen game in favor of his team at the most opportune times. Last but not least, the hook artist Accident" Baiocchi filled the anchor mans position; if not in average, in bulk.
 Harvard didn't have what it takes at the death-line. Prize" Genova started up at the head of his class but dropped constantly throughout the season. "Mustachio" Passariello proved tO be the only asset to the teams great name. Too much can't be said for "Slide-a-Mile" Ciminera, but he was aided only with, and very little little of, moral support The railkicking Daddy" Margo fin- ished with 117 average but these figures lie. "Nosey" Masone did his utmost but what could be expected as his results from these culprits he had to work with.
 The third place Yale team should have finished in first place and didn't. The combination of Side Boards" Guerrero, "Al1niSettee" Rossi, Bow an Arrow" Serendi. Pizzeria" Greece and "Blow-G Gas" Napolitano, is the best in the league but didn't coordinate until the last half of the season.

did justice to their tlinging arms.

That Princeton team that was in second place for one week, hit the skids from then on that only the grand work of Goose" Rivero was responsible for its fifth place stand ing. "Hoosey' Geneva, Sky" Caris- simi, "Bacci" Gampaolo and "Stumbbler" Perrella showed the form of the biggest chumps in the league. Better luck next year,
 What happened to the strong in- vincible Brown team? With two Class "A" men, Chief Two Bits" Familgietti and Stables" D'Angelo Brown should have finished higher than sixth and a tie at that. Cap tain D'Angelo planes Fly -By-Sub- marine" Acquarelli because of his absence. Plug Ears" Conte for his never failing hook-ball, and Sun shine "Carissimi for all his worry ing. Tough gang these guys!!

 The officers for the year of 1937-38 were elected Thursday night. They are: President, Louis Piedmonte; vice-president, James Bianco; and secretary, John Perrella.
 The final preparations for the banquet have been completed. The scene of the occasion will be. the D. V. A. hall on Bank street, April 3, 1887.
