Invitation Volleyball League Play

Foreign "Y" Winners Over Russian Club With Alex Prokofieff and Frank Burton playing in top form, the Foreign Y.M.C.A. easily defeated thi Russian Club last night in the "Y' gymnasium by two straight games of 15-9 and 15-5 for a second consecutive victory in the Invitation Volleyball League.

The ™ team started off in con-vineing style as they slowly but steadily walked away to victory, allowing the opponents nine points. Inwood set up nicely for both Pro, kofieff and Burton to smash the bali over the net while the rest of the team put up a solid defence.

In the second game the winners rode the crest of the wave. Prokofieff excelled with "cannon ball" shots while Burton stood out with pretty soft taps into the various open spaces on the Russian side.

The sides lined up as follow:

Y.M.C.A.:—Inwood, Prokofieff, Krause,
