Few Major Changes In
Johnnie Circuit Chase

JohnstOWn, Pa. The st.
Rochus Churchmen continue to
hold the lead in the Lodge 5
Mems Bowling League. In fact
the team standings have not
changed in the past five weeks
for the four teams. The leaders
have increased their advantage
to five full games in this period.
The Baretincic Morticians cop
ped a dozen games in the five
weeks but had the misfortune
to drop the set matching them
with the St. Rochus Churchmen.
Marking the sessions have
been such good individual show
ings as John Kodak, 2O3-513;
Charles Gomerac, 199-515;
Stephen Petrusic, 511; Thomas
Gojmerac, 207; Joseph Slavick,
222 and Anthony Sestrich, 2O2,
all this in reverse order cul-
minating with the February 25th
meet.
In the majority of the ses-
sions, it was the leading Church
men who blasted out the best
one and three game totals, their
best efforts being an 892 one
game mark and 1884 evenings
total.

we're all steamed up out here
and worked ourselves into
deep lather over preparations
for our Forthcoming State CFU
Bowling Tournament, scheduled
to be rolled off on Sunday,
March 21, and Sunday, March

Competition promises to be
mighty high this year and we
are pretty confident after four
years of bowling experience
that we will come out some-
where near the top of the list.
At least we've conquered the
bowling lingo, a fact which
lends an air of professionalism
to our kegpin endeavors.
The bowling stars of yester-
day are ailing a bit this year
but we'll see some real COMPETE
ton from them at our big get
together on the maple lanes.
We are experiencing difficulty
in obtaining entries from fellow
CFU members around the State.
They just don't seem to realize
that they are included in the
invitation to join us. So, Mon
tana bowlers everywhere, rest
assured that your entry will be
royalty welcomed.
If you can't bowl this year,
write to George Stokan, Jr., or
George Stergar and make re-
servations for the Banquet and
meeting to be held in Anaconda
on March 28th, at the SITS. Pc
ter and Paul Hall. "a.
Here's your last chance to
sign up your team, fill out the

the Committee knows that you
will bowl. Fill out a form also.

zadros Claim Byntinq
In Port Arthur Leaque

Port Arthur, Ont. The
Zadros won the second series
title in the Lodge 9ST Bowling

meet the Maroniks who copped
the first series honor.
In the February 7th play-offs
the two teams waged hectic
battle at the City Recreation
Alleys with the Maroniks win
ming the 1854 championship by
the team scores 1214-112S-
973-3315. A mere % points be-
hind them were the Zadros with
their card showing 1222-1114
956-3292. They cannot come
more evenly matched in cham
pionship fights.
John Pavletic, anchor man of
the Zadros, rolled a brilliant
series 311-229-754, while op-
posing him in the Maronik line
up was Rudy Maronik with 234
-238-6S2. Runner-up to the
two teams in the same order
were Pete Maronik with a Gil
set and Mike Zadkovic with 613.
The Maroniks were also the
best for the season with squad

Lodge $50 League Has
EAGLES To Worry About

Toronto, Ont. - John Lozo,

He ran a string of 275-252
800 in an 839 series, the last
two figures being the second
best season highs among the
men. John sports a 218 average
that has been brought to that
point by some tall shooting of
the past five weeks, during
which he has been hitting a tor
rid 253 average.
Not betting them as good but
we'll enough to figure among the

Lodge qb1 Bow|ers On
Beam In Recent Trysfs

Toronto, Ont. - For a while
at the Lodge 961 February 21st
session it appeared as though
the existing male seasonal highs
of 333-866 owned by Richard
MatelHn were to be dethroned.
Matt Ozvatic really pulver-
lied the wood that day, bowling
1926 in one game good for an
aggregate of 815. In a lesser
vein and not to be overlooked
was Johnny Perozic's 726 series
good for the third best such
score among the men this sea-
son.
The impending threat to rec
ords even permeated to the
ladies, where Goldie Brdar with
249 threatened the seasonal
runner-up score of 251 held by
Maryann Milakovic, who as it
turns out was busy churning
245 into 655, a new second best
triple in the league.
The following Sunday, Febru-
ary 28th Maryann Milakovic
upped her distinction by shoot
ing new marks of 297-694. Matt
Ozvatic took the male three
game honors with a lowly, by
comparison, of 587. Johnny Mila-
kovic got into the picture with
a 219 score.

Junior Order Members
Eyeing Big Tournament

Pittsburgh, Pa. The Goth
Annual Tenpin Tournament,
much as it has been publicised
for the adult clientele, will also
have it's Junior participants.
Having the youngsters partake
of the activity that their elders
talk about within the family
circle is a sound policy and has
been subscribed to the past few
tournaments.
In Detroit all Junior bowling
will be confined to the convent
ent time from 9:45 A. M. until
noon, Saturday, May 8th. Five
man teams will bowl at that
time, with the individual scores
bowled in this event to stimuli
taneously rate for Singles and
Doubles consideration. Heaving
that weighty mineralite is quite
task for some youngsters, and
a succession of six games would
be quite strenuous.
1t must be remembered that
all bowlers on q team must be
from the same Nestt and that at
least three months C. F. u.
membership prior to the tourna-
ment will be the only prerequi-
site. The cost of bowling will be
borne by the C. F. U. Junior
Department as it has and is
this year for all C. F. U. ma
tional tournaments. The reason
ing behind it is to get the Nest
to swell it's ranks through mem
bership campaign work and get
the required bowler, rather than
recruit them from another Nest,
The winners, boys and girls,
in team, doubles and singles
play will receive appropriate
championship trophies, which

preparations for the Basketball
Tournament in Farrell over
April 2, 3 and 4, have each
broken, even in their most recent
games

was IL. .-..u n g row for the
Pandak coached men, but the
rougher games as so scheduled
will follow these warm-up tits.
A week later the Conway
CFU-ers suffered their first de-
feat of the season in being best
ed by the Freedom Bulldogs,
who are composed of former
and present college players. The
game was close for two quar-
ters, with the Bulldogs pulling
away in the second half to win
95-75. M. Karas and D. Manli
led for us with 26 and % point
ers.
On February 21st, Conway
avenged this defeat by the score
of TIL. Led bv Vlasic's su-
perb shooting and defense by
Manli and Bukta, in which the
first mentioned scored 40 points
and M. Karas chucked in six
teen, Conway brought it's record
at that stage to four wins in
five starts.
Fighting nip and tuck, Feb
ruary 28th, the College tinted
lineup beat Lodge $40 in a
close one, S7-s5. The caliber
of the opponents was garnered
from Youngstown, Geneva, Pitt
and Mt. Union colleges, a bet
ter test one could not ask for.
Vlasic poured Al points, fifteen
baskets from the field, to lead
our attack.
Nest 1O3 played it's first regu-
lar team game and came out
to win, February 21st, by the
score 50-44. The defending
c. F. U. Junior champs have a
revamped lineup, since the loss
of the entire first team of last
year has caused a depletion in

using ten men, the Nest cagers
