Meanwhile, Tarokh "the Oak" Taefi (1667) stopped Bobby "Duck" Waddell (1776), James "Big" MacDougall (1797) excommunicated the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1707) and Frank "Moo" Mu (1679) blasted Chris "Dirty Harry" Callahan (1661U). In the "C" Section, though he lost to "B" player Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1667), Jim "Sticks" Ulaky (1493) still leads the section with 2.5-1.5.
