The six winners came by their crowns this way: Southern conference: Clemson won title tournament after barely slipping in with, a ,500 average.

The results were 22 doubles out of 12 pair for Bush and 18 for Matlock. Singles scores were Bush 24. Matlock 83, Hamilton 16, Coney 15.

Bush also broke 22 from 22 yard. Hill was a visitor with his good wife to see his beys do their stuff but arrived too late. He informed us that the boys came by their love of guns honestly and we are hoping we can get Hill, sr, to try them out. Judge May Walker was searching earnestly for a perfect score but lost it by three. All his misses were left hand targets but he pulverized the peg 6's in fine style.

Paul Harrison, another visitor wh has not shot for too long, turned in scores of 18 and 30. He promised to return on each of his trips to the city. Will do better next time. As usual E.Culpepper was smashing 'em quick and sudden. He broke a 20 in regular event and 21 In the match with Ed Hill.

Bowman said athletic au. thorities might act today on Jock's request for release from an agreement in his contract calling for two years notice before leaving Pitt.

Among the many linked with the place are Charley Bowser, former first assistant to Sutherland; Tommy Davies, suocessfuj head coach of Scranton university the past two years: Bill Kern of Carnegie Tech and Andy Gustafson, backfield boss at Dartmouth.
