The massive 3210 team series which the Falstaffs fashioned Thursday night seems relatively secure, since only two higher scores have been recorded in the 55-year history of the congress.

The 1313 amassed by the Joint efforts of Billy Welu (714) and Woody Hulsey (599) in the doubles category Friday seems to be the least likely to standup. Since 1920, when Marvin Erickson and Eddie Krems, Chicago, took the championship with 1301, every winning doubles combination has come up with a better pintail. The Falstaffs record team all- events total of 980t could also stand the test of time.
