BOWLING RESULTS Bill” Brenuecke Displays Fine Form on Aectna Lanes, But His Team Loses Match. . Willyum Brennecke came within an ace of jumping into fame as a bawler last evening at the Aetna alleys in a game between the Wanderers and the Areos. WIil’s chances Wwere not gained through his team, but by his own clever work.

CORNELL’S ATTACK WEAK. Final Workout for Colgate Game Not Encouraging. Tthaca, N. Y. Oct. 19.—Cornell's final hard workout yesterday for the Colgate game Wwas not encouraging. The varsity scrimmaged for forty-five minutes with the second team, but showed little improvement in speed and nowhere was there evidence of consistently strong attack. Pendleton made the only touchdown by receiv- ing a forward pass. Among the few encouraging fea- tures was the playing of Nethercott, a fast and gingerly sub quarterback, who ran the varsity in the absence of Carry. Carry is suffering from an injury. \ You who are hoarding your money, who are carrying your cash in your It is earning nothing for you there; is doing you no good; New Britain Trust Co.
