Top Rivals in ~ Tenpin Loops

Totals of 679, 669 Earns Pair Scoring Honors of City Sessions.

BY BERNARD HARMON Bowlers who display their wares in local leagues on Tuesday nights, today had added several outstanding individual totals to their season’s accomplishments. Members of the Pritchett Recreation League loop fared best in the scoring sprees of last night, Ollie Krebs and Paul Field tossing series of 679 and 669 that were good for

the one, two positions among pastimers in action. Both pinmen, rolling with the Vollrath Cafe, opened with 245s, but Krebs proved most

| consistent and followed with games { of 210 and 224 for the honors. Field

added a 245 in his final effort, after dropping to a 179 middle game. The high scoring duo gave the Cafe team the top team total of the evening, games of 1012, 940 and 1000, netting it a 2952, as well as a triple victory over its opponents, Louie's Tavern, which had as its chief scorer Ayres with 621. Ten other members of the loop passed the 600 line, Virg Kehl getting 646, Scott 629, Doug McKonnon 629, Gene White 626, John Lloyd 620, Freddie Shaw 617, Billie Shine 610, Mike O'Grady 608, Jones 606, and Tommie TompKins 601. Murphy Lunch joined Vollraths as triple winners, downing Berghoff Beer, while other matches resulted in double victories for Triangle Bowling Shirts, Indianapolis Glove Co. and Dransfield Tavern over Hilgemeier Packers, Coca-Cola and Fendrick Restaurants.

Fox Leads H. A. C.

Larry Fox, in one of his rare appearances in the Hoosier Athletic Club loop, rolling at Pritchett’s, collected a 655 total from games of 208, 223 and 224 to take individual scoring honors. Jack Hunt trailed by 10 pins for the runner-up post. Owen Fancher with 634, Fred Schmitt with 609, Fonnie Snyder with 604 and Leander King with 600 were other leading soloists. Shutout victories featured two of

members reached the 600 mark, Bill | Sargent ard Chuck Markey share- | ing honors with 652s. The former featured a 242 opener, while Markey’'s 264 centerpiece was his best effort. Frank Hickey with 624 and J8hn PBarrett with 600 were other leading scorers. Rolles Printing Co. nabbed the lone threegame victory, Beck’s Coal and Coke being the shutout victim.

, Stark Gets 644

Ed Stark topped the individual scoring of the Patrick Henry loop at the Pritchett Alleys with a 644. A three-way battle for the runnerup position found Thad Tedrowe and Bob Weimer winding up even with 633s and Herman Deupree trailing by one pin. Jack Hunt with 621, Sweeney with 616, Threm with 606 and Martin with 601 were other 600 shooters. The four team contests resulted in odd game decisions for the winners, Salesmen, Beer, Kegs and Half and Half gaining the single game edges. A trio ‘of Community Teague |

Champion Bulldogs Seek

Win Against Purdue ‘Team

Notre Dame Faces Big Test

In Contest With Northwestern.

Feeling that a victory over Pur- |

due would be an excellent way to break their two-game losing streak, Coach Tony Hinkle’'s Bulldogs were to leave for Lafayette today for a

game with the Boilermakers tonight. Coach George R. Keagan's Irish squad will face its first big test when it meets the Northwestern basketball team at South Bend tonight. Only a light scrimmage was included in yesterday's Bulldog windup drill for the game tonight, and a long free throw practice was held. Gerkensmeyer, Fawcett, Merrill, Perry and Geyer are expected to start against the Purdue team. Coach Piggy Lambert intends to start the same team he has used successfully so far this season. Sines and Young will be at forwards, Seward at center, and Malaska and Downey at guard. Both Notre Dame and Northwestern will be seeking to keep their slates clean tonight in the game at Notre Dame. Coach George Keogan’s boys have defeated St. Mary's of Winona, Minn, and Western Illinois Teachers so far this season and Northwestern has a 37 to 28 win over the Pittsburgh Panthers to their credit. The Irish are to be without the services of Johnny Moir, team high scorer last vear, who is out for at least two weeks with a broken jaw, put Paul Nowak, all-American center, will be back at the jumping position most of the game. Nowak underwent an appendectomy early in the fall and has been able to play for only a few minutes each game, Coach Dutch Lonborg will probably start the same Wildcats that played in the 20 to 20 tie game wiih the Irish last New Year's Eve at Evanston. Indiana State is to open its schedule tonight against Eastern Illinois State Teachers College of Charleston at Terre Haute. In the other game on tonight's card Wabash faces Anderson College. Anderson defeated the Oakland City team 39 to 32 Baturday and Wabash has chalked up a 59 to 28 win over Taylor this year. Games scheduled for tomorrow night include: Ball State at Franklin. Huntington at Valparaiso. Eariham at De Pauw.
