However, once the call Went forth for frosh bowlers, the response was great. In fact, it was so great that the league had to be divided into two sections, one for Tuesday and the other on Thursday. Bro. Considine looked after the former while Mr. Zeccola coached and directed the latter. Each league was composed of six teams with each team having from five to six members. Beginning late in September these leagues bowled regularly for 38 weeks. Although these youthfuls knew little or nothing of this sport, as time progressed they increased their knowledge and skill so that now a number of them can favorably compare with the better members of the senior league. Among those who have earned honors to rank with the best are R. Ludwig, P. O'Connor, R. Dejesus and J. Sheehan. These youthful keglers have managed to maintain an average of 130 or over for the whole season. With constant practice they are looking forward to improving these averages so that in a short time they will be able to take their place on the Varsity team of the school. At the conclusion of the season the Spare Spoilers, coached by Mr. Zeccola, took top honors in the championship play-offs. This team managed to keep a good lead throughout the whole season and thus really earned the honor of champs. Tribute must be paid here to Mr. George Oxx, proprietor of the Circle Bowling Recreation Alleys for his great help to the members of our league. iHis encouragement has given us the spirit to strive ever higher to become better bowlers. It has also made us more conscious of team spirit which is so important today. 121
