Writers to Sit In With Bowling Council

covering bowling in this city will be at the roundtable discussions of the Indianapolis Bowling Council. The proposal, which stemmed out of an informal meeting of bowling officials and the press two weeks ago, was formally accepted and approved Thursday night during a regular meeting of the council and its affiliates at Fox-Hunt Alleys. The organization's sanctioning of a seat for the press at future confabs included the men and women's bowling associations, officials of the Indianapolis Bowling Proprietors Association and of course, members of the council headed by Frances Cook, president. However, to admit the writers at the - next meeting scheduled on Mar. 2, the ‘council agreed to waive a ruling in the constitution since the current season is approaching the twilight stage. Under the by-laws of the current constitution, a proposal to admit the press would normally be regulated to the procedure of making a motion in writing and have the motion read aloud at one meeting and then carried over until another gession for final action.

Under such action, the city scribes would not have been approved until the April meeting and would have virtually no chance to attend bowling council meetings: during the 195152 season. Heretofore, bowling writers have been somewhat in the dark as to the plans and proposals of the council due to an inadequate public relations program of the IBC. + This gesture to adopt the press into the monthly sessions - will be invaluable to the writers and to the game of bowling , . . to its officials and the many thousands of individual participants. . Bowling has come of age as one of America’s fastest growing sports . . . it is virtually unsurpassed from the standpoint of individual participation . . . but its pub- | lic relations co-ordination with sports writers . . . particularly in Indianapolis . . . is not of the major league standard which the sport is now approaching. We are deeply grateful to the Indianapolis Bowling Council and its allied officials for the latest steps taken in ‘building a closer harmony Between the newspapers and the sport itself. The dividends of good will are certain to be forth- , coming and we feel confident this is one resolution for 1052 that will carry over down through the years.

" » w = ” - i ~ BLOND DICK WEBER, that hard-hitting Mechanics Laundry star, is now going great guns but, strangely enough, his output of 600 series this season is far behind his pace of 1050-51. Weber, who won the city match game crown and as of Wednesday also grabbed the highest series (747) for the sea“son, has rolled 40 series of 600 or better this year. Ten of these have been over 650. A year ago Weber had posted 90 series of 600 or better for the same period. However, he did not roll any 700 series. This year the 22-year-old ace has two to his credit. Weber's previous high was a 47 rolled in 1048 at Pritchett’s Recreation cae
