With every prospect that sever

QUINTETS SHOW DROP
Although the five-man event
showed a considerable decline
from last years figure of SO
teams, the drop was not unex-
pected. Several factors con-
tributed, including the war,
draft and the tourney rule pro-
viding that a man could bowl
with only one team, a regulation
which broke up several quintets
planning on entering.
The five m n competition
will run on a two-squads- nightly
basis for five nights while the
minor events will continue over
six nights with three shifts each
evening on the Mount Clemens
drives.

appeal to team captains this
morning to be at the alleys a

their teams to take the lanes.
