Female section nor Team No. 6 in
the Male league had competed.
Cpl. Tom Turner, newly appoint

the short time he has been in
charge the bowling alley has be-
come the center OF interest on the
Old Post. Anyone not getting on the
alleys hefore 7 P. M finds it diff

From the time the alley opens until
closing there is very little time, if
any, when the alleys are not occu-
pied.
It is to be noted that most of the
present ke2lerS have not been bowl
ing more than month and the type
of scores being turned into this Of

to improve their games. With the
interest remaining as higa as it IS,
it is predicted that in the near fu-
ture some of the best boWled games
on the Pest will be seen in theSe
alleys
