To Run Polio Sweepstakes In January The annual Polio Sweepstakes, with two-thirds of the proceeds going to the annual March of Dimes. will run throughout the month of January, Gary Sdhultz, chairman of this year’s bowling sweepstakes, has announced. Under the sweepstakes plan, a bowler pays 81 and may enter as many - times as he wishes. All bowling for the sweepstakes must be done in a sanctioned league, and open bowling is not eligible. Prize money will be distributed under the handicap setup, making it possible for any bowler to share in the prizes, regardless of his average. Bowlers in any sanctioned league at Mies Recreation or G. E. Club alleys in Decatur and the Berne alleys are eligible to compete merely by paying their $1 fee each time they desire to enter while engaged in sanctioned league bowling. Os the total received in the Sweepstakes, 50 cents of each dollar goes to the polio fund and 50 cents to the prize fund. Since the ABC requires that two-thirds of the total receipts must go to the polio fund, and to boost the return to the bowlers, difference up to the wfik be paljl this year by Al Anderson,' of Anderson Industries, and the Hooker Paint Co. In addition to the cash donation, Anderson also awards a trophy to the bowler with the highest total pins in any one series of three games.

A sizeable contribution was made to the March of Dimes last January and bowling officials hope to increase the contribution next month. 1. Bowlina Scores Classic League W L Pts.
