| Football and basketball capture the lion's share of the sport headlines in Indian-
apolis’ prep circles. But bowling is not to be denied. True, the current picture is in the infant stage but the “indoor athletes” at Manual Training and | Ben Davis High Schools are be-| ginning to push to the forefront. | Both schools are now sanc-| tioned by the American Junior Bowling . Congress. While the, sport does not come under the jurisdiction of the IHSAA, the schools abide by the body's gov-| erning rules. No player or team may accept cash awards. Their achievements are recognized with trophies and medals. : #0» : [ "BOWLING at Manual is now in| |its seventh year. Under the di-| rection of Miss-Theo Parr, the kegling Redskins are again pre-| paring to. enter the national high school tournament next March which is sponsored annually by the American Junior Bowling Congress. The team bowls weekly at Fountain Square. High school teams throughout | the country bowl at’ their home

During the 1949 tourney, Manuals talented pin blasting left them only 41 behind the McCook, Neb, high school team which won the title. Amorig the 1300 U. 8S. teams entered, Manual captured second, eighth, and ninth places, - and friend, that ain't bad in anybody's league. Miss Parr's girls divided 15 individual trophies for their three-play killing. The possibility that Manual might go all the way next spring is not without logic. Four girls who bowled in 1949 are now seniors and three are back as Juniors. Next June's graduates include Norma Anderson, Donna Stocker,. Evelyn Coonfield, and Helen lL.ee Taylor. The juniors are Marion Guerrini, Shirley Royster and Louise Simpson. = s = ® THESE young ladies will be the backbone of an improved performance, namely the championship. Helen Lee Taylor leads her class mates with 1116 pins in eight games. Shirley Lehman is close behind with 1086 pins. The Fabulous Five, captained by Miss Taylor. are leading the league with 10 straight wins. Four Hits and a Miss are tied with the Hot
