===tl::===l SPORTS • .■ • dt a • * • GLANCE The play-offs of the men’s sin gles ping-pong tourney are well underway with the celluloid sphere flying fast and furious. Of the thirty-seven men who partici pated in the “ladder” tourney the gix who were on the top at the finish were picked to play in the best out of three games elimina tion. These six were: Gib Brownlie Tom Pearce, Ray Sturglewsky, Ken McDannell, John Falcone, and Bob Gallagher. In the first games Brownlie’s whip-like back-hand was too much for 'Gallagher as Brownlie won: 11- 21, 21-14, and 21-15. Sturge and McDannell had three hard fought games, but Sturge’s back spin seemed to be the margin of vict ory. The scores were 21-19, 17-21, and 21-19. Pearce had not too much trou ble downing Falcone 21-17, and 21-15. With Brownlie drawing the bye in the semi-finals, Sturge and Pearce played one of the best three games series in the tourna ment. Pearce finall y solved Sturge’s cuts to win out 21-19, 19- 21, 21-17. This leaves Pearce and Brownlie to fight it out. Get your “Bookie,” Sturge. In the women’s section Lee Delle Donne, Lois Braden, Shirley Linder, Nan Bierman, Dorothy Holmstrum, and Judy Norton were the top 6. Lee defeated Dorothy while Lois took over Judy. Nan and Shirley played three close games, but Nan finally won. Lee drew the bye which leaves Lois and Nan to play in the hot semi-finals.

The first game pitted Liebau's team against Gallagher’s in a hard fought battle. The first two per iods were a see-saw contest, but Liebau forged ahead in the third period and was out in front 23-14 at the begining of the fourth quarter. A late fourth period rally by Gallagher put them out in front 26-25, but a basket by Falcone in the last few seconds of the game put Liebau ahead to win 27-26. Liebau and Gallagher were high for their respective teams with 16 points each. The second game was a rough and tumble struggle that matched McDannell’s team against Pearce.

Down went the pins as the first spring semester meeting of ye olae Behrend Bowling league got under way. The influx of new students plus old students, all in terested in bowling, has caused the league to expand to an even twelve teams. The old teams have been somewhat revamped with the new talent while the two teams “The Buzzards” and'“The Robins” are manned chiefly by new arrivals. Messers. Faullener and Korn of the preceding teams are not to be overlooked when high scores are mentioned. Mr. Faullener was out standing with a 193 while Mr. Korn got a very respectable 176. " The ‘ 6th' men ’are’ now known fondly as The “Lunk Heads”. Dick Collman became the chief Lunk by putting the best single' score together with two good games for high 3 games for the group. The minor bunks were getting used to the. alleys and did very well for their first tames. One John P. Spierling has a new .system for making spares. His approach is normal until he lets the ball go, he then promptly drops to a sitting position on the alleys where he re mains until the pins are in. I heard J. P. S. is eating from the ’mantle these days. The re-vitalized Flamingos took the luckless 'Ducks for three games. Ed Kittka smashed out a beauti ful 222 game. Ed is to be congrat ulated on becoming a member of the 200 dub on his first outing. His 222 contributed to a 520 series.

State Street at 9th for the first time also, turned in a 160 for a 443 three game series. Very nice Ken! The gun for the Ducks was also a now bowler, Don Fields. These new people are won ders. The meeting between the Peli cans and Penguins produced some thing that is seldom seen in bowl ing. Their first game ended in a tie at 605 pins apiece. This is slightly phenomenal when you consider the odds against a tie in bowling. Teammates Richey and Betz came up with a 180 and a 176 respectively to lead the Peli cans. Lee Delle Donne and Ann Titmus were consistency per sonified for .the Penguins. Lee is an old hand while Ann is one of the new arrivals. Adele Gabin had a big 168 single game for a 428 set for the Cardin als. The Red Birds had a hot after noon winning ail three over the Owls. -Gene Sundburg and Tom Pearce supplied. the number 2 punch of the famous old 1-2. Bet ty 'Lou Volk of the poor Owls had a fair day and is improving. The Eagle who screamed the loudest was Harry. Scheimer, Harry turn ed in a big 214, 486 series. I must find out Harry’s system. John Fal cone of the Eagles, and Mr. Gott limd, of the Hawks, had good days with a 429 and a 448 total respec tively. A 1 Leibau, of the Eagles, and “Uncle Dave” of the Hawks, won the other two 500 games of the afternoon. “Unde Dave” had a 509 while A 2 was close with a 508. Beth Dunlap and “Itsy Bitsy Ida” have the dubious distinction of being .presented with the “Grand Order of the Gutter” for the week. Howie Starks and Don Beal- were the blackest of the Ravens. Howie had a 160, 407 series, Don had a 165, for: a 426 series. Noticed - Don’s wife giving him added encouragement, how could he lose! Ray Reed and “Sturge,” Loons of no mean re known, provided the power to help their team down the Ravens, two out of .three. The league has lots of zip and provides fun for all. The teams foster a feeling of esprit de corps. Old members are instilling the feeling in the new talent. All in all its just about the best way to spetad.' a Thursday afternoon I can think of.
