To Tonight's Battle By ART WRIGHT Thirty grammar school pupils survived the first semi-finals of The Times Spelling Bee last night and will return to the Indiana World War Memorial tonight. They will begin their second round in the battle for the Indianapolis Championship at 7:30 p. m. The public will be admitted free to see the spelldown. ] It required 325 words for Gaylord Allen, instructor at Arsenal Technical High School who was last night's pronouncer, to: spell down the 17 who were eliminated. In many cases, the semi-finalists, who spelled more difficult words in preliminary matches, were eliminated because of ‘their anxiety. Si The 17 words’ that “stumped” the spellers were: Success, peas ant, picnicking, cinnamon, competent, introduced, thigh, sandwiches, receiving, indivisible, insult, respectably, greatly, expel, harass, boarder; vacancy.
