COLLEGES PLANNING NEW SOCCER CIRCUIT PHILADELPHIA, January 12 (). —A new intercollegiate soccer foot ball association, to include all the members of the Intercollegiate Soccer League as well a8 a number of other colleges, is to be formed, Erwin Stubner, manager of the University of Pennsylvania soccer team, said yes- terday. Dissatisfaction in the intercollegiate league culminated in its dissolution Saturday night at a meeting in New York. Chief objection to the league was sald to have come from Harvard and Yale, where it was found the schedule took the soccer players too much away from thelr studles. Under the pian of the new organization this will be _remedied.

For the same reason, the Washing- | ton City Duckpin A clation, at its meeting Sunday, decided to start its| annual tournament earlier than usual. Heretofore it always has gambled with the late April and early May weather. The contention has been that alleys could not be procured until near the end of the formal competitive season. as they were being used b leagues in their champlonship campa perhaps the alley owners themselve {were mainly responsible for t | tention, as it lengthened their usiness’ seasons considerably. Wit everal large establishments in exis ence now, however, that argument has been spiked to a great extent. Lawrence of Osiris, Money of Whit- ing and Walker of King Solomon are anchor men in the Masonic Bowling Assoclation deserving of more than passing mention. They are towers of strength to their respective teams. All are well up in the individual aver- ages and have won many games for | their teams by coming through with marks at critical moments. 1 Baltimore did not hesitate to admit that it is a poor second to Washing- ton in duckpin bowling after its sharpshooters were well drubbed by the King Pin All-Stars here Satur- day. As one Baltimore paper ex- presced it, the Monumental City team that came here was “a roster of Bal- timore’s supreme rollers and their de- feat left the superfority of bowling in Washington over that of Baltimore unquestioned. The Washington tri- umph proved that the Capital Cit has better toppling experts than Bal timore.”” And any time Baltimore ad- mits some other city is its superior in a particular sport that city must be better by far. As now constituted, Terminal Ice Co., In the District League, will take a deal of beating.
