Holy Cross won fifteen of sixteen games with Woods, Ernie Ford, and Jack Dreamer rolling up all the victories All three will toe the mound again this spring.
 While Woods won't surpass his first year as varsity performer for his was perfect in 1940, still there are such things as Strike-out per- formances, earned runs per game, hitless innings, all for Woods to aim at.

C. L. P. Mixed League

tried to think of some substitute The discussion on this point brought out the fact that there was not enough time left to work anything out. The banquet Is week from Monday. Next Friday we bowl the bankers again; next Monday is our regular bowling night, and the fol- lowing Wednesday we hold our sweepstake. This full schedule gives the entertainment committee no time in which to work, SO 1t was decided to dispense with any at- tempt to furnish entertainment at the banquet other than the cus.om- ary dancing. It was also decided that talking would be limited to no more than three speeches.

Al sprafke's team is the winner. With only four points left, As team now has a five point lead in first place, so they can't possibly be dis placed. But in spite of this mathe. matical certainty, Joe May says to ask Will Knight who is going to win the Mixed League.
 Still Uncertain
 The race for second place Is not yet over, however. Ralph Shove's squad lost three points to Tom Egans tetam Monday, due mainly to the fine bowling of Alice Benson who had no and 130 in her first two strings. This victory puts Egan's squad into sole possession of second place, but they meet Win Duff's third place team next week. The match is a crucial one, for while the winner will finish in sec- ond place, the looser stands Q good chance of dropping below third, so close are the teams which follow.
