ROYAL AND PALACE FIVES BOWL INTERCITY MATCH of Roanoke, Va., Palace bowlers and the Royals of this city were to ash on the Sherman drives at 2 lock this afternoon in five-game block of their fifth annual duckpin . The Vir- =~ were ‘breakfasted by the Ttovals immediately after arriving| this morning and will be banqueted at_the Arlington Hotel tonight. This vear's match is the rubber of the series.

Fifteen bowlers of four daily news- papers are to compete on the Recrea- tion drives tomorrow afternoon in the first round of the annual newspaper individual duckpin championship tournament. Bowling will start at 4 ov'clock. DISTRICT GOLF TOURNEYS TO BE AWARDED TONIGHT Dates and places for the two cham- pionship tourneys and for the annual competition for The Evening Star trophy will be selected at the annual meeting of the District Golf Association tonight at the City Club. - Officers also will be elected. Dr. James T. McClena- han of the Washington Golf and Coun- try Club now ise president. The annual man’s championship of the District is scheduled to go to Co- lumbia¥ as it was held last year at Chevy Chase. while the latter club will probably hold the woman's event. PENN FIVE SEEMS SURE T0 ANNEX TITLE AGAIN Pennsylvania’s championship - quint oame within an ace of relinquishing its lead in the Intercollegiate League last week. Only the accurate shoot- ing of Capt. Bill Grave. the Red and Blue pivot man, whose foul shot thirty seconds before the end of the Cornell game at Philadelphla last Saturday night tied the score. saved the three-time champions from the ignominy which fate has spared the Quakers in more than three years. It was the Cornell team again which ‘was responsible for the tremendous shock to the Red and Blue. Several weeks ago the Ithacans had been practically counted out, so far as champlonship material was concern- ed. Yet the big Red combination rose out of a nebulous slump when Penn- sylvania’s five visited Ithaca recently and dealt the champions their first and only defeat of the season. Again Jast Saturday Cornell carried the at- tack to the Penpsvivanians, and forced them into an extra period, the final score being 29 to 25. As a result of its victory over Cor- nell, l”!nnsy]vanl? can almost be con- ceded the title for the fourth con- secutive year. Princeton is the only contender which may offer some op- position, but the Tiger team's exhibi- tion Saturday against Columbia, when the Blue and White extended them for the full forty minutcs of play, leaves little doubt that Penn will turn the Nassau five back again. The Quakers will have the advantage in their next match. in that the game is to be played at Philadelphia. Princeton’s victory over Dartmouth ecarly last week precludes the pos sibility of any danger from the camp the Mountaineers when the Green m meets Penn at Philadelphia Sat urday night. Only these two matches with” Princeton and Dartmouth re- main on the Penn list. It seems doubt- ful that either team will stand in the way of another championship. LEAGUE BTANDING, W. L. P. OP.

GRAGE IS OUTCLASSED IN COURT TITLE QUEST Grace Athletic Club has little chance to garner the District independent basket ball title on form displayed yesterday in its clash with the Yan- the final|kees, present champions, in the game at the Coliseum. Puffed by their spectacular victory over the Aloys- lans, prominent title contenders, s eral weeks ago, the Grace tossel thought themselves strong enough to tackle the city leaders. But they were outclassed in every department and lost the first match of a three- game series, 17 to 35. Once they found themselves, the Yanks ran roughshod over the title aspirants. Grace attempted a five- man defense, but the District cham- pions_scored almost at will. Grace was held to six fleld goals, while Heddons and Ingley of the Yanks scored five each.

Kanawha Prepa defeated the Roam- ers, 32 to 24, in the decisive match of their three-game series in the struggle for the District junior title. Goodman and Dennis played bril- liantly for the winners. Palace All-Stars beat Camp Hum- phreys, 28 to 23. Bennie, Palace for- ward, gcored four scrimmage goals. ‘Warwicks and Stantons fought des- perately before the former won, 19 to 13. The winners passed well.
