This was a fairly close-run race until the last few votes. The next
deal goes to Dick Weltz with 6 natural points for his conical roof,
while Chuck Emery can relax in second place with 5 points for his ring
of steel. Johnny Barrs wrecked my hopes of a D0 by guessing that an
ARGOLET is a light-armed horse soldier.

Take it away, Dick!
