& At the stroke of midnight on Monday, Father Time, “the 1951 version of the old man with the flowing white beard, walks out of our lives and the spanking brandnew babe of 1952 emerges on the scene.

The blare of horns and falling confetti herald the coming

of a new year. The nation will revel with good cheer for its fellow man... the spirits will be high and for many, costly, if they come from the -bot-' tle. Yet in the dawn’s early light-will come forth those perennial pledges to be a do-better during ’52. 5 Even the bowlers in Indianapolis have fashioned a few resolutions to improve their kegling status. This scribe talked to a reasonably good cross-section of the city’s talent and here are some of the self-improvement plans for Mr. and Mrs. Bowler: To give more time and concentration to the sport... whether it's a practice game or a league tussle.

To study flaws in my own technique and be less critical of my fellow-bowlers . . . offer advice only when it is requested and it is constructive criticism. To be on time for all league competition... also any tournaments in which I might compete.

To keep calm when under pressure (2???) and never lose my temper from the bench jockeying my opponents offer-. ..

circular activities. League secretary . . . to be prompt in my reporting of scores and facts to the newspapers © . . also in compiling league statistics such as averages and league standings ... Bowling proprietor . . . to continue to render efficient service during the coming year... this has been a trade-mark of the IBPA affiliates down through the years, ,. Pin boy ... to be alert in my work and develop an interest in the game itself . . . try to spend some free time learning the fundamentals since the boys of today can grow to be stars of tomorrow... And from all the enthusiasts in bowling, a sincere promise to “strive fo¥ better sportsmanship during the coming year... whether’s it’s win, lose or draw . . . always have that handshake ready . . . there are plenty of good sports in the game today ...and they want to keep it that way . .

Frank S. McKeever, Top U. S. Bowling Fan, Visiting in City

A man who is probably the na- °

tion’s No. 1 bowling fan is in

Indianapolis today. Frank 8S. McKeever of Santa Barbara, Cal, took a junket across the country to attend the

wedding’ of Pat Striebeck and

Theodore Dryer last night at the Zionsville Evangelical Church. Pat has been a close friend of

the 67-year-old gentleman since

their first meeting in 1945. That was the year when the

little girl with. the unorthodox _ swing startled the experts by roll-

ing a 266 single for the third highest score among the women in the ABC National event at Kansas City. It was also the year McKeever predicted the Indianapolis girl, then 17, was one of the country's future champions. ” EJ 2
