 Our old friend Joe Castonguay made his first appearance and what welcome he got-guess 1t must have affected Joe's bowling for he turned over only 267 pins.
 Bill Brennan is certainly consistent with a total of just 300 for his three strings-our president, Tom Foley, just nosed him out with 301.

BOSTON COLLEGE AND CRUSADERS
 PICKED TO WIN
Hub Clubs Meet Today in Boston; Brown Tackles
 Holy Cross

Boston, Nov, 11-(UP)-Two of New England's top-ranking football teams were favored to continue their quest for eastern honors today against wice-beaten opponents.
 Undefeated but tied Boston col- lege was expected to record It's first win in three years over its home- town rival, Boston university, in a holiday game at Fenway park. The Terriers won their only victory of the series last year and tied the year before.
 Coach Gil Dobbie expected to use hisreserves most of the way against B.U. in anticipation of games with undefeated St. Anselm's and Holy Cross. Boston college has defeated such teams as Indiana, Detroit and Florida and played 26-26 tie with Temple.
 One-beaten Holy Cross was ex- pected to have little difficulty with Brown in the 18th game of rivalry which started in 1898. Brown has won eight games in the series but Holy Cross has scored four consec- cutive victories during the regime of Coach Eddie Anderson.
 It will be the last home game for several Holy Cross seniors, includ- ing Captain Bill Osmanski, a candi- date for all-Americ backfield hon- ors. Holy Cross has defeated such formidable opponents as Georgia, Colgate and Temple-all by lop- sided scores-and dropped a "a decision to Carnegie Tech which subsequently, knocked Pittsburg from the ranks of unbeaten.
