By Rod Thomos

In this case it actually was "the
last shall be first" Eleanor Hig-
don. assistant registrar of George
town University Law School, faced
her final chance in The Stars 22d
annual bowling tournament. Three
times she'd entered as a member
Of the Howard team in the Co.
lonial Village Mixed League and
three times failed to roll her
average.
Toss away another dollar?
Her teammates decided for her.
We're all entered" they point
ed out.
So Miss Higdon proceeded to
win the top prize of $100 in the
womens duckpin division. 1t was
her first participation in a bowling
tournament. Also it was one of
her best performances. In the
89-average class, she reeled off
games Of 1876. lib and ia for
set of 353 (ah average of one pin
less than 118). added a handicap
Of 81 and crossed 440.
Ingomar Moen Second.
Thus she landed eight pins
ahead of Ingomar Moen, who won
second money of $75 with tally
of 30-432 at Clarendon. Incl
dentally, Miss Moen deadlocked
Miss Higdon in total spoils. She
collected $40 for second high
scratch set OF 402 and SIS for a
seventh-place tie in high games
with 1853.
Far-famed Lorraine GULL, who
never has failed to make the pay.
OF Of the tournament. this time
carried off a prize of $25 for the
best scratch set. The only entrant
without a handicap. she fired a
AIS score at Chevy Chase Ice Pal
ace. It was 30th in the gross set
standings and worth $40 as such.
Rolls Season Record Game.
Most sensational tally in the
tournament was a game of 100
rolled by Marion Hamilton at
Chevy Chase Ice Palace. It was
the highest single In duckpins
registered by q woman here this
season. Remarkably, she achieved
the whopper without the aid Of
4 cluster of strikes. She struck
on several spares in putting to-
gether nine straight marks.
