JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - The
C.F.U. team in the Johnstown
City Junior League played be-
fore the seasons biggest
crowd on March 4th as they
fought but lost a tough battle
for first place to the Defend
ing champs, the Pepsi Bill
ard.
We trailed at the half way
mark, 1924, outscored them
1926 in the second half and
were even leading by one
point with 35 seconds to go
when two quick field goals
upset the score against the
|C.F.U. Juniors.
A protest against the illegal
stoppage of the clock opera
ted by the sponsor of the Pep
sis team availed us nothing.
Dave Roman, our scoring
ace, was closely watched.
The Mikesic twins mean
while scored 43 points be-
tween them, Ed getting 25
alone.
The season closed on March
7th as the C.F.U.-ers now
widely heralded by the Johns
town sports gentry rode
rough shod over Kline Amuse-
ments, 1886, Dave Roman
chalking up % himself.
The present season slips in
to history and we can but say
that the boys gave a good ac-
count of themselves at the
C.F.U. Tournament in Young
lstown.
We, Fran Mikesic, the busi-
ness manager, and l, are
proud of our proteges for the
showing during the season in
Johnstown and in Youngs-
town at the Society's cage
classic.
Needless to say that the
line is already forming at the
right from those who are de-
sirous of playing under the
Nest 4-Lodge 5 eagle next
basketball season.

LOS ANGELES - Yes, fel-
low CFU bowlers (women,
too), the plans for the 9th
Annual CFU California State
Bowling Tournament are all
set and the committee is now
ready to let all bowlers, who
are anxiously awaiting the
word, in on the good news.
Santa Monica has been
chosen as the location and we
are sure this seaside resort
will add to the holiday mood
which usually prevails at this
meet.
Hank Marino and Harold
Lloyd's famous Llo-da-Mar
Bowl will be the tOurna-
rnent site. This modern es-
tablishment has 16 high
scoring lanes fit for all
comers who wish to prove
their prowess with the big
black ball.
We are sure the Hotel Mir
amar, by Pacific Palisades,
will prove the best tourna-
ment headquarters ever, with
all the latest facilities includ-
ing modern rooms, pool, ban
quet area, and most of all a
warmness which will create
an atmosphere conducive to
the fraternal spirit always
felt during this great event.
Entry forms will be in the
mail soon and will be mailed
to all California lodges. We

are hoping, this time, to en-
tice new bowlers to enter our
already famous tourney. New
bowlers need only have the
ability to roll a bowling ball
to enter.
A bowler should have an
established A.B.C. or W.I.-
BIC. sanctioned average;
otherwise, a person who
has no average is still able
to bowl, but a minimum av-
erage is established accord
ing to tourney rules.
1t should be considered the
moral obligation of all lodge
officers and members, too, to
help this CFU annual event
grow even larger by recruit
ing as many bowlers as pos
sible to enter this tournament.
Let this be welcome to all
new bowlers, for we hope to
see, eventually, every Califor-
MIA CFU Lodge we'll represen-
ted.
