Tony Lauro, known as the Mighty Atom" came in little late but 1t didn't take him long to catch up the others. The first two balls he threw were good for strikes. From then on he was in Linemen's hair.
 Harry Owens and young Grover had a tussle to see who would not take high single. Harry won. He had 77 while Grover had 79. Hey. Pa, can you do something with Junior.
 What a night Joe May had. His 388 took the weekly high three prize. When little boy blue is hot he is boiling. Well, he can strut around the Meter Room for while as he has dethroned Butch" Culhane as champ temporarily at least.
 Uncle Joe Blum's team went to town and topped all high team total scores. The old boy was putting klctII IA6ItI All IAiO SAOOFS A0b 4tAo best night in 50 years. Cousin "Nookie" Stokes almost swallowed his Adams fruit when he say what his uncle had for his nights work.

Even with Hot Dog" Cont ab- sent, the Temple team started the Holy Cross team to its downfall by taking two out of possible three games. Before the match the four members of the Temple team form ed circle, put their heads together and cheered for good old Temple. Melody" E. Cont could be classi- fled as the loudest of the quartet. Fats" Antonacci waited for the games to do his cheering with a 3i3. The grand young fellow of the league Pep" Latino is one of the most improved bowlers in the group. "Javelin" Nocera is too concerned about his average to worry whether his team wins or loses but, incident ly, does o. k. by both. The other teams extend their congratulations and thanks to the team of the week, Temple for the achievement of conquering the first place team Holy Cross.
 When "Hula-hula" Colangelo goes bad so does all of Holy Cross. "Whoopee" Lombardi played it smart not to share in the disgrace and went to work instead. They tell me "U-Boat" Spadola's bowling is being handicapped by blond love. More information requested. "Ju- Jitsu" Garafolo, the Baldwin street sportsman suggests a longer train ing period for his team. Guitar" Latino exclaims that they don't need it and, to prove it, promises to roll 400 again the last night of the sec- ond round.
 The surprise team of the league shapes up to be Duke. "Steel" Guar ini is going to bed early Wednesday nights, getting up at 500 p. m. Thursdays to be fully rested for the bowling session. Star" Guggardi is putting his wife to work rubbing his arms and back to loosen up. Bat ter-Up" J. Carissimi will take four shots of denatured spirits and talk a better game. Divine" P. Carissimi will bathe his feet in carbolic acid for 2 hours to gain spryness. while Lucky" Perrella will hope and pray that his average will only stay as high as it is. Some team, eh, moys?
 If the Purdue team didn't have Cactus" Lombardi, the Duke team would claim the championship as early as now, but Cactus, beyond being the league president. is also one of its better bowlers. Members of the Purdue team are of the opin- ion that they should finish high this season. but '. Boston Joe" 0enova tells them he's from Missouri. "0yp- sy" Termine. the man with the spe- ciai delivery, appeared all flushed and starry-eyed when Telescope" Lattanzio suggested summoning the newshawks and photographers when "0ypsy" pulled strike.

 No one can quite figure 0ni sifrs and for what reason all the life and sparkle of the Colgate team comes from.

The team most pleased with their new bowling shirts was Cornell. So pleased were they that they forgot to bowl being lucky to win one game last Thursday. Black Pirate" Man. 20 Is being pacified with the knowl- edge thta his team could become a crew of aviators. "Sling-Shot Stan go has one of the keenest minds for intricate instruments known. Twin Hearts" Rocco has the devil- take-care spirit essential to flying Battery" Perrella is the greatest propeller spinner In the business and "Fish-Hook" Palladino the best ground mechanic developed in years. Aviation and bowling don't mix Cor nell, come down to earth.
 What beautiful sight the Ford ham team makes in their new shirts Monster" Traonetti looks so strong, stately and tall, almost like a weep ing willow. "Oilcloth" Gasparri ap- pears to be so squatty, round and chubby as one of his beer barrels. Bible" Briglio as sharp, slender and graceful as one of his razors. Trans hitter" Toletti as dull, blunt and loose as one of his pliers and "Jizzy" Scarpati as colorful, old aiid noisy as one of his pea-shooters once used in the Italian cavalry. A well bal anced team, Fordhalm!
 As water flows, so flows along Pittsburgh. The strongest team on paper and yet not clicking. Living through the season in hopes and prayers shall be the destination of this years c Pittsburgh squad. Lik- able "Whizzer" Rossi thinks its cas- fer to play third base than bowl. Sonny" Mangini would rather be jockeying home a winner on the race track. Microscope" Sparano feel easier rasseling with Man Mountain Dean. Ace" Petticicco boasts of his cie hockey ability and Premium" Capobianco cuold swim the English channel four times a day. When and if this team starts bowling, fear and sorrow will ac- company the losses of the rest of the league. When and if?
 President James Lombardi re- quests the presence of all the bowl CTS at 8:30 o'clock for a special meeting, the purpose being to elect a vlce-president. With the large vote cast of President P. D. R. as a barometer my suggestion would be to come early and avoid being crushed and walked over by the crowd. Adios.

Private Interests May Build
Much Defense HOUSING

The Federal Government is rely
ing upon private investors to build
and operate a large part of the
housing which will be required by
the national defense program, Edwin
Bergstrom, president of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects, says in
a message to the members Of the
institute.
Evidently a large private capital
investment is counted on because
the Federal money so far appro-
priated for defense housing appar-
entity will not produce anywhere
near the number Of housing units
listed as needed" Mr.. Bergstrom
points out.
"One method suggested is that the
Government shall build the civilian
defense housing and then offer 1t to
private investors at q nominal value
thas will represent an equity after
depreciation. The private investor
might be attracted by this equity
and be willing to take over this
property and operate it, particularly
il his investment were further pro-
tected by special insurance.
''The persons for whom this hous-
ing is to be provided include en-
listen men in the Navy or military
services Of the United States; en-
ployes of the United States in the
Navy and War Departments as
signed to duty at naval or military
reservations, posts or bases; workers
engaged or to be engaged in indus
tries connected with and essential to
the national defense"

a new and lighter shade of finish
which presents unlimited possibili-

rangements in modern homes.
These dining room chairs are
noted for their comfort. The wide
back splat is curved to fit the spine,
and there will be no need to rush
dinner guests for coffee and a more
comfortable chair elsewhere. There
is a delicacy to the effect of the
whole dining room, though the chairs
are sturdily built with wooden pegs
which actually hold the joints. Chair
seats may be ordered in a number
of colors and fabrics to fit into your

The dresser has good drawer

they are finished as carefully with

cabinet also has commodious draw

within three weeks at the prices
quoted: Dining table, extension,
S64 dresser, $49.50; china cabinet,
$50; armchair, $2495; straight
chair, $1795.
These are distinctive and diff
ferent, with exc .llent workmanship
down to the large brass key which
locks the drawers. They strike just
the right note of dignity and use
fulness necessary in the healthy
American household, where family
and friends gather, and blends very
we'll with either early American or
the more formal 18th century pieces.

Cold Puntries' Included
In Newest Homes

An innovation in the newest
homes is provision of below freezing
facilities for storing fresh-frozen
foods.
Basement space now is being used
for modern "cold pantries lockers
that hold temperatures constantly
below the freezing point.
Fresh-trozen foods of all kinds
remain farm fresh for many months
with no apparent loss Of flavor,
vitamins or nutritional qualities in
the new storage facilities.
Many advantages for the base
ment pantries are pointed out. The
sportsman, for example, simply
cleans his surplus game, then freezes
and stores it in the locker-instead
Of scurrying about trying to give
the game away to neighbors before
1t spoils.
Turkeys and other poultry, prime
cuts OF meats, vegetables and many
kinds of fruit are kept fresh in the
below freezing temperatures.
