Headed by George F. Bigelow '39 an Adams House group has started the first House bowling ladder over to be run in the college. Fifteen men make up the ladder which is divided into three sections of five men each.

In the A division number one man is Walter J. Murphy '37, with Bigelow, Charles D. Robinson '37, Hubert H. Hauck '38, and James M. Wareham '38 following him. The B division is made up of Richard R. Whipple '37, Dr. Roy Lamson, Tutor, Leverett saltonstall '39, Kenneth M. Clark '37, and David M. Curtis '37. In the C division are William N. Dearborn '38, George H. Spencer '38, Robert M. Whittemore '38, James H. Alexandre '38, and Richard E. Bennik '38.

The matches will be run off on local alleys about Cambridge which have offered special rates to the group. Though this tournament will be confined to Adams House men, it is hoped that later in the year a House team can be formed which will engage a Dunster team which is expected to be made up in the near future.

Kirkland Leads For Trophy

The standings of the Houses in the competition for the Straus Trophy are given below, including all fall and winter sports. It should be noticed that under the point system used, the disastrous effect of defaults is emphasized by deducting them from the points for final standings. Thus, as far as the final standings go, Dudley, Leverett and Dunster are tied, but because of different number of defaults, their total points are different.
