What happened to Pete Places
Of the Carley's bowling team of
the Fort Davis Commercial
League undoubtedly will be re-
peated time and again In The
Stars goth annual tournament.
Pete neglected to enter the tour
nament, which costs only a dol
lar, and blew an opportunity to
collect handmsomely when he
fired a scratch of 422.
Pete,s average of 124 In the
Fort. Davis league entitled him to
a handicap of IL pins, based on
a scratch OF 1923. II have lower
averages in other leagues" he
reasoned, land will enter from
them"
What the young star over
looked was the percentage in his
favor of entering every time he
bowled a league set. The entry
Is almost insignificant and the
opportunities are tremendous,
what with 1000 cash prizes to
be awarded, full handicaps and
special prizes to be given for
scratch scores. His scratch set
of 422 would have earned him
$3.50 in last years tournament
plus S. for his gross Of 434.
From now on," Pete said rue
fully, I'm entering the tourna-
ment every time I have
chance" Inasmuch as he is
member of three leagues, the
, young man has II more cracks
at the truly sensational prize
list, with awards for men ranging
from 5000 down. For women the
top prize is 500. The tournament
runs a month, thus affording
every league bowler a minimum
Of four turns.
Among those who .chided
Places was Ell Geib, a fellow
league member. Geib passed up
the tournament last year be-
cause of an injury. He bowled
with his team one night to avoid
q dummy score, but shot a set Of
435 which would have netted
him $29.
Nobody can guess" says Geib,
now q field representative Of the
National Duckpin Congress,
where lightning will strike in
The Star tournament. what with
those full handicaps."
To this a hearty amen is ap-
pended by Charles E. Milbrook
and Marguerite McDermott. In
the 1947 tournament Milbrook, a
109-average man, fired a set OF
400 from scratch, 3-game pace
Of 1881. With a 81 handicap he
crossed an even 500-and pocket
ed first prize of 5000. Mrs. Nc
Dermott. with a league average
Of 101, received the women's top
award Of 500. Her performance

Barring a tie. there's. only one
first place in any contest. But
there are ONE THOUSAND
awards in this competition. The
chances of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
plucking the No. plum might
be remote, but the fruit on the
tree is bounteous. Take for in
stance the luscious bit that fell
to the hand of Elmer Rhodes last
year. This 87-average bowler with
a handicap OF 1913 collected prize
of $50.
Many bowlers who believe their
prospects of financial gain vir-
tually are nil enter the tourna-
ment because of the Bowlers' Vic
tory Legion, which receives Is per
cent of the total entry money. The
BVL's overhead is borne in the
main by the bowling proprietors
of the country as a carry-on from
their war effort. 1t Is providing
means of relieving the monotony
of long time patients in Veterans
Administration hospitals. Among
the staunchest supporters OF the
BVL are President Truman, Gen.
Bradley, Gen. Eisenhower and
Gen. Macarthur.
Every scoreboard in every
bowling plant in the Washington
area is embellished by a placard
extolling:
Three BIG reasons why YOU

Such expressions as "just scrap

Representatives of the Southeast

Star Dismissed
After His Blast
Against
Will Leave Squad at
Once; Hoyos to Ploy
Maryland Tonight
By MerreII WhittIesey

Andy Kostecka's basket ball
career at Georgetown University
was ended today when Father Mat
thew w. Kane, faculty moderator
Of athletics, dismissed the high
scoring center from Coach Elmer
Ripley's squad for "ungentlemanly
conduct"
Kostecka had been quoted by
Washington morning newspaper as
saying RIP hates my CUTS and al
ways has. He has his pets and I'm
not one of them"
Father Kane said that while
Kostecka had been on thin ice at
the Hilltop for previous outbursts,
including an incident in the v. P. I.
game December 10 when he kicked
a V. P. I. player, and others on
Georgetown's recent trip, the out
spoken statement against Ripley was
his finish. He said Kostecka had
been in danger of being sent home
on several occasions during the trip
Kostecka Has Pro Ambitions.
Nobody at Georgetown can tell q
coach off or tell him how to run the
team," Father Kane said. "As far as
I am concerned Kostecka is through
for good and he will have no re-
course. Whether or not he remains
in school is his business" Kostecka
is a senior and is known to have pro
basket ball ambitions and to have
received ~feelers" from several
teams.
Father Kane said Ripley's future
at the Hilltop was not in question.
The veteran court mentor has one
more year on his latest two-year
contract.
Thus Georgetown will meet the
University of Maryland tonight at
the National Guard Armory with
out their acknowledged star player.
Kostecka scored 40 points last year
and was averaging almost 20 points
game this year before he was hurt
in the player scrap in the V. P. I.
game.
After missing two games, he
played every game on the Hoyas'
an-losing six-game trip, but hit his
expected scoring power only against
Notre Dame, when he tossed in 19
points.
Kostecka, a 6-foot-3, 1s5-pounder
from Bloomfield, N. j., is "a years
old. He came to the Hoyas in 1s41

"Sure he gets a lot of points, John
Mahnken cut in. Give anybody the
ball go or 10 per cent of the time and

Irv Torgoff, who, along with Nc
Kinney and Mahnken, will have the
job of shadowing Fulks Saturday,
says Fulks is good, but doesn't belong
in the same class with Mckinney
and Feerick.
Hes tricky" agrees Torgoff, "and
he has good control, but as an all
around ballplayer he couldn't shine
Bones shoes"
The entire team-from Coach Red
Auerbach down-feels that Fulks is
not q team man.
There's no question about it,
Auerbach said. It'd rather have
Feerick on my club than Fulks any
day. He can do more things than
Fulks and he plays for the team.
