Galao Two wobbling pins spoiled a per- fect 300 bowling score for Emil Ga-| lao, genial proprietor of the Bruns- wick Bowling Alleys, but he did set a record in Juneau kegling with a| tally of 298, ten pins better than | the record that has stood for many years here. | Galao, bowling with Rooney Hunt and Frank Metcalf, bowled a 235 game for a warm-up, and then be- gan finding the 1-3 pocket. He rolled | 11 straight strikes and the crowd | gathered to watch the twelfth and last ball. It started nicely down the alley, took left English and suddenly cut over on the Brooklyn side and slashed into the 1-2 hole. It sound- \ ed good and it looked good. The 5-- | pin and the 9-pin wobbled, but re- mained standing. Frank Metcalf, with whom Galao was bowling, held the town record heretofore, with 288, which still stands as a record on the Elks al- leys. After rolling the 298 game, Galao rolled a 193, which with a 235 pre- ceding the 298, adds up to a three game total of 726, which is another sort of record. And incidentally, Galao says that anyone who can break that 298 mark on the Brunswick alleys, will re- ceive a crisp one hundred dollar bill. ————— - SMITH RETURNS ON NORTH SEA TODAY Harvey J.

Sept. 26 With Jock Sutherland and his No. 1 team of last year gone, Pittsburgh passes its perennial position as the top Eastern gridiron threat to Ford- ham, with Cornell, Dartmouth, Car- negie Tech and possibly Brown ready to take the pole if the Rams bump into a stone wall somewhere along the road. James (Sleepy Jim) Crowle Rams were butted into defeat only by Pittsburgh a year ago, although Fordham was tied by Purdue and North Carolina. Graduation took away a nalf-doz- en forward wall pluggers, including the co-captains, Henry Jacunski al end and Mike Kochel at guard, bul it’s hard to feel sorry for Crowley after taking a look at his material Jim admits that if trouble strikes the Rams it’ll be through the line for his backfield should be one of the best in the land. In Leonard Eshmont, 170-pounc halfback, Crowley has a real ace a runner who needs only a slight opening to go to town. Eshmont, so Fordham statisticians say, was the country’s leading ground gainer last year with 831 yards. Fordham is all €et. too. to snrine |a sophomore sensation in James glumensiock, the best kicker U Rams have had in years, a crack passer and a good runner, although not in Eshmont’s class as a ball car- rier. Even with all their strength the Rams will have a tough job get- ing through the season against such foes as Alabama, Tu- lane, Pittsburgh, Rice, Indiana, St. Mary's and New York University. Charles Bowser, who follows Suth- rland at Pitt, hasn't the material the dour dentist enjoyed. Dick Cas- siano is the only ace from last year's backfield who is on hand and most | ser definitely does not have any perfect season dreams. Cornell lost several key men, in- cluding the All-America end, Brud Holland, but good material has been flowing into Ithaca and Carl Snave- ly isn’t crying. From Providence come reports that Brown, led by Coach Tuss Mc- Laughry’'s son, are loaded for bear. Carnegie Tech, one of last sea- son’s surprises and the Sugar Bowl rival of Texas Christian, will be in the thick of the fight again. Seven of the 11 players who walloped Pitt last year are available. The reserve strength isn’t any too good. Prospects aren’t so good among the Big Three—Princeton, Yale and Harvard—and the service schools— Army and Navy—probably won't cut any serious capers. Columbia will be stronger, particularly on the defense Temple, Duquesne, Villanova, Col- gate, Dartmouth, Holy Cross and West Virginia look for better than average seasons. - Coast Walerfroni fieup Possible Next Saturday; Negofiations Strained (Continued from Page One) shoremens’ wages are far above those in comparative industries.
