 BOWLING LEAGUE

l LlC WGSh LII Odlludl y 10 p1OfCN a falulty one for the anchormen of the eight teams. "Strangler" Rivero, the leading bowler of the league, will be replaced in the anchor spot by "Dimples Deana. Eraser" Na- politano after busting "Darky" La tino, makes way for the sensational Back fire" Capobianco. Dan Mo Grew" Guerrero, due to his one weeks absence, gently hands his lau- rel spot to Elephant Imbimbo. Sweet" PaSsirello holds on to the favorite anchor spot by the skin of a f1y's whiskers but is hard pressed by the imitable "Humphy" DeLuca. Pop 'Er" Margo of that rejuvenat, ed, up-coming Navy team deems it fit to turn his bowling shoes over to "Screwball' Garafolo. "Ding-Dong" Piedmonte after much heated ar- gument with Raspberry Petrucci, has consented to honor Protest" Ciminera in order. Of the Princeton team "Skeets" Lombardi never claimed to be an anchorman, is will ing to give up his spot happily but not even "BruiSer" Cont is analysed to be capable. So what Army finds it easy to replace the great, one and only Wagon Wheels" Manzo with Hello Maria" Ciasullo even though Ciasullo hasn't hit 400 for any week yet.
 Princeton took the renowned Army team for two games but then it hap phns to be an honor and privilege to take Army at any time and, it seems that every team is assuming that honor and privilege as granted. Better" Fraonetti and Ash Can" Perrella do well to uphold the as- sumption. Bridge" Tolitti is now married and for at least two years more will not hit his former style. Army Boo-Boo!!
 Mess Sergeant" Scarpati, "Ice Hot" Guarini and "Nix" Dente with "Skeets" Lombardi and "Bruiser Cont shape up as one of the best teams in the league.
 "Buts" Zipoli of Navy is finding extreme difficulty hitting the pins in his style ever since "SnookumS" Piacentmo was added to his team. Self-reliance is an asset you must learn "ButS." Facts" Genova waits patiently and is gradually being re- warded.
 Someone suggested that Mickey Mouse" Pettinicco and Pluto" Sprano team up in an exhibition against Top Hat" Barbieri and No Count" Fulliero. Why? Ask "Nosey" Passariello. Die Hard" Pannone is wondering and dreaming about the banquet and his financial cut? Don't worry too much ''Die-Hard." "Alibi" Ferraro can't take it. His chin is glaSSy. Of anyone I know he can drink the most bottles of soda: when he gets it! Good old "Mustachio" Doc Cofrancesco does O. K. by him. self, maybe because of the moral support of his lovely wife's presence. Hot Dog Zipoli proves himself a better Sunday bowler, due to the fact that he is a greta money mad der. ''Mudder" Palladino blows through and when he does, along COIltS TedCIly FldIZd Wltl 0fi. Have you no pity, "Peachy?" Tn fant" Carissinni and Don Duck" Santillo with 324 and 335 respective ly, put "Strangler" Rivero to shame with his BOP. Ho! Ho! Ho!
 What happened to the challenge the Italian Recreation league ten dered Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint LucyS bowling leagues? Are they too good or? For their nformation-the challenge is still and always will be open at any time.
 Now back to the Italian Recrea- tion lueague-a plea from 35 of the 40 bowlers to each other
