: Bowlers. of the powder 'n puff circuit who have % gripes about the constitution of the Indianapolis Women's Bowling Association have a chance for their proposed improvements to be reviewed,by association officials. Frances Deer, secretary of the IWBA, issued a call +" last week for any recommendations on revising the current text of the constitution: The recommendations must be in writing and mailed -to Frances’ home at 2115 Madison Ave. no later than Feb. 19. The recommendations will presented before a board meeting on Feb. 20 at Fox-Hunt. The board consists of 16 bowlers from various city leagues and + IWBA officers. The group will condense { all recommendations and the

present on Mar. 7 in the Sky Room of the Claypool Hotel. All women bowlers under IWBA jurisdiction are invited to ottend the general meeting. Prize money to winners of the 1952 city tournament will be presented and a new vice president, secretary and sergeant-of-arms will be elected. - Mrs. Deer has received many good recommendations such as the ‘plan to have all league secretaries file a final average sheet for the year” and increase the handicap percentage of city tourneys from 60 per cent .to 75 per cent.

Moore, now in his early forties, has been-bowling fof* 20 years. He started as a pinsetter and spent his free hours improving his bowling: game. Moore had previously worked at Delaware, Indiana and Pritchett Alleys. For the last five years he has worked for Larry Lehmann at Fountain Square where he takes care of the counter during the day and also keeps the alleys in top-flight conditjon., Moore, who now has a 172-average, ‘fired his 12 ~ + gtraight strikes for Myers Market in the Midwest Travel. ing League. Lawrence Carter, Richard Kromer, Paul Field were eager to welcome a fellow kegler who doesn’t mind going out of his way to improve his games. . .
