In Cribbage Competition: Zal-Gaz Grotto is conducting a cribbage tournament to decide its champion which will represent the Grotto in the All-City Cribbage Tournament to be held at the Masonic Temple during March. Fred Williams, 111 N. First St. (left), apparently is about to take a commanding lead over Ernie Warren, 407 N. Main St., in one of the elimination contests. The pegs on the board, lower right, show the two contestants about even. However, Williams is holding three eights and a seven in his hand for a count of 12 before the cut and has a five and jack to discard for his own crib. If Ernie could only see the reflection of Williams' hand on the highly polished table, he might be slightly perturbed. Organizations, such as clubs, lodges, and industrial plants, will have until March 8 to determine their champions for the final city eliminations.

CRIBBAGE PLAYERS CONCENTRATE: Playing cribbage in an all area tournament, as 16 players did last night at the Masonic Temple, is no easy task. At the extreme right is Norman Quigg, who represented Dexter. The official watching the play is Burt Root. The interested spectator is Merr Campbell of Pinckney, who was eliminated in the opening round. Campbell is watching the hands of Don Swartout, also of Pinckney. Don had no difficulty in this match, winning in three straight games. Bob Rentschler of Dexter was crowned area champion.
