Neither the Illinois nor the Wolverines, however, were able to arrange for a trip to Annapolis. The closing of the contest with Marquette clinches one of the real Intersectional attractions of the 1824 season for Maryland soil.

BIG DUCKPIN TITLE TOURNEY PLANNED An open individual duckpin tour- nament to decide the champlonship of the District will be held this winter, according to plans formulat- ed by the Washington Duckpin As- soclation, which should prove the Dbiggest bowling event ever staged in the Capital. The idea for the tour- | ney originated with Earl Stocking, | resident of the association, and aunched at a meeting of the dir tors of the body yesterday. Five | games, with total pins to count, will be the basls for determining the title. Tt is belleved entries will total more than 1,000 and it {s planned to make the tournament an annual affair. Entry blanks will be in all bowling alleys after December 26. The tourna- ment is scheduled to open Fehruary 4. at 7 p.m. Entries will close at mid- night Saturday, January 26. All en- tries should be mailed to Moe Gold- berg, secretary, 918 G street north- west. The entrance fee of $1 must accompany each entry. There will be no restrictions.

Another feature will be the deciding by the bowlers where the tournament will be held, On each entry blank will be provided a space for the bowl- er to designate his preference.
