the past couple of months
have clung tightly to the lead
in the Post Bowling league, were

upset brought three teams into
a tie for first place, the Wahee
Courts, the Medics and the Quar­
termaster unit. In other con­
tests this week, the Medics won
two over the Headquarters Hot­
shots, the Sad Sacks took three;
from the Neophytes and the
Strikers defeated the Wildcats
two out of three

a large city about 175 miles to
the southeast. The new capital is
situated some 680 miles from the
English coast and 670 miles from
