Some argue that leagues do apply them, while others have the op­ posite view. The majority seem to be in favour of it though, and by applying handicaps, it gives the weak teams at least a fight­ ing chance of the leadership, in­ stead of being mired in the lar with no hope of getting place in the race. * * * * Another suggestion was each team have substitutes the event some o.f the regular players are unable to attend each night. This sounds like a logical plan, because there is no doubt that when the hockey sea­ son opens, interest in bowling is going to drop considerably. The captains may find it -hard to pre­ sent a formidable team some nights during the winter, with­ out spare players to call on, and if that happens, interest in the league will certainly diminish.
