Two teams composed of young men of marriageable age if not of intention, whiled away their time on the Aetna alleys last evening, to de- | termine who's who on the maples. The nom de plumes of the teams ‘“Al- most There and “No Hope,” probably fit the said y. m. The “No Hopes” were returned the victor, taking two of the three games rolled. Bertini, who encountered some difficuity in the first game duc to the absence of his favorite shoes, was the star perform- er of the match, handing in a total score of 314 for the three games, his best ecffort being 124 made in the second game. Every member of the winning team rolled one game over the century mark. ‘“Yen” Anderson who has heen industriously at work itrying to master his new .stroke which he calls the * us Ball,” met with fairly good success last evening. “Yen" however, is of the opinion that with a few selections on the violin by !

Motley, Jr., fresh- man of Atlantic City, N. J., who was considered the greatest schoolboy sprinter in the Fast last vear. Anderson, who is a junior, gradu- ated from the Erie High school of Erfe, Pa., where he received the fundamental knowledge of the run- {ning game. For three years he was Erie's star track man, establishing several records, of 10 2-5 seconds, in the 100-yard dash, and 23 3-5 seconds in the 220-.yard event. He also com- peted in the hurdles and has'done 20 feét 6 inches in the broad Jjump. Since entering Colgate, “Andy” has Jowered his own record and has tied the college record of 10 seconds for the Century, established by Castle- ; man. At the Syracuse meect last vear An- derson ran the 100 in 10 flat and the 220 in 22 flat. This year Anderson is anxious to beat out the freshman star, Motley, and he realizes that this will be mo easy task. On interviewing Anderson he said “Motley is a good man, but T will beat him if I have to train day and night.” This shows his determination to beat out the dusky sprinter. Anderson also states that he is out ' for four letters before he receives his diploma. He has already won letters at football, track and basketball, His ability for baseball is by no means limited and next season will find him hitting the Ppill around the Whitnall baseball diamond F. Motley, Jr., is a graduatc.of the | Alhany, N. Y. Atlantic City High school, where he | gained great fame as an all-around ! athleéte. “Ferd” has competed against such men as Brewer of Maryland State college, Ward, a runner of no mean ability, and others. It was in a meet at/'Washington last spring that Motley made his fastest time for the 100, doing it in 9 9 1-6 seconds. In selecting his All-American track teams, Secretary Fred W. Ruben of the A.
