Fine Game Last Night at Northern Interesting billiards were played last night at the tournament, which continues to hold the attention of everyone. On account of the A. B. rehearsal, which took up the time of many of the players, only four games were played but they were all closely contested and held the attention of everybody right up to the last shot. In Class A the game between Peel and Colwell was exceptionally good. Peel started off and by using his col lection of carefully studied strokes succeeded in putting up a row of goose eggs which threatened to put Stine’s record in the shade. Colwell played his regular steady game and ran ahead of Peel some twenty points in billiards and at least a hundred points in smiles. From that time on it was Peel’s game all the way, Peel winning by the excellent average of 1.91 and the high run of the evening of 15. In spite of losing by 14 points, Colwell’s steady play is illustrated t>y hie average of 1.56 which is exactly his average in his first game with Bruner. Sid Anderson and Mitchell both played to win. After a very even game all the way through to the 126th inning Mitchell put his score of 97 in the oven and put a row of goose eggs on the fire while Anderson in the next five innings ran out his necessary twelve points, winning by three points and scoring his best average, 0.76. Woolley won over Daub by 10 points with an average of 0.92. His game is improving and his chances are being looked over by all the con I testants in Class C. The average of all games played to j date are: Class A 1.66 Class B 0.99 Class C 0.83 * Highest individual averages are: !
