Three strikes in a row is a
feat usually associated with
an individual. The trick was
turned by a team last night
and it was a telling pounch
in one of the most important
victories of the duckpin season.

At the end of nine boxes in

Stair and Guy Andes struck
in succession, with Owens and
Stair each counting 10. Thus
Rip g. Kay'S won by five
sticks, $50 to SAT.
In the third, Stair again was
a garrison flnisher. In the
10th, he struck on a spare,
and Danny Pessagno spared on
a strike. Kay's won by II

The shutout gave Rip g.

Two golf professionals have
made requests within the last
two weeks that the newspapers
discontinue printing the pro
scores in the Monday tourna-
ments. one was a head pro
speaking for himself. the other,
a club pro speaking for his as
Sistant.
This is a rather delicate SUBJ
ject, but a number Of pros,
reporters, spectators. ETC.. were
asked for their opinions at the
last two events. 1t almost was
unanimous that the pros who
requested the omission of the
high scores were out Of line.
The first pro who made the
request said 1t was embarrass-
ing to him. and he knew it was
to others, to have scores in the
paper showing him shooting
/ in the 80s. The second pro said
he had a young assistant who
needed encouragement, but the
youngster already was diseour-
LACED because of the rubbing he
has been taking from the men,

pro said. Il think you only

The immediate advice to the
pro who is worried over scores
made by his assistant is why
doesn't he give the fellow more
time to play and practice? Some
pros are old fashioned enough
to keep their assistants under

In time this was shortened to

families are living on tick"

Answer: Admittedly there is
little logic in using a word
which means mot many" to
express the idea of "a lot" But
the more you study our Ian
guage, the more you realize
that the only thing truly con-
sistent about it is its incon-
sistency.
Here is a nonsenSical express
sion which has become truly a
part of the colloquial idiom-

it won't be rooted out of popu-

Il don't pretend to solve all the

If this universe had to have a
creator, who or what created
the Creator? Is not that question
just as logical as the other? And
then, where would this creator
be, since there seems to be no
end to the universe?
In a recent review of A. C. Lo-
wells ''The Individual And The
Universe" he mentions that there
are two prevailing theories about
the universe. Cd That the uni
verse is still evolving land pre-
sumably expanding from 'funda-
mental material created in it's
entirety some billions of years
ago, or (2) that creation of new
material and disintegration of old
is constant in steady state -
past, present and future"
Then he mentions that the larg-
est optical telescope at Mount

Hydra whose light has taken 2
billion years to reach the EARTH"
Can we stop there? Are there not
galaxies beyond and beyond in
a limitless universe? Is it not
likely that before long we shall
construct a telescope that will
reach galaxies whose light has
taken 9 billion years to reach this
infinitesimal earth? So Lowell
thinks. And yet we have the
nerve or egotism to believe that
there is some invisible and Nigh
ty God who watches over us
to whom we may pray. Evidently
many folks need this sort of be-
lief in order to keep from being
down-hearted, but isn't it sad
weakness, a weakness that keeps
