Bowling Council Probes Into Sport's Headaches THE PROS AND cons of the city s bowling game were kicked around Thursday night in dinner-meeting of the Bowling Council at Fox-Hunt, While the council is without power to enforce any

reconimendations, the session was a healthy one. A new aspect of the meeting was the presence of Indianapoils bowling writ ‘ers which are now official members of the council, The scribes, Bob Williams, Len Koelling and yours truly, were free to speak fon what's wrong and what's right with the current bowling setup.

THE or H ® R COUNCIL

dark Welsh

. members having a voice in the * forum were Jerry O'Grady, Or-

ville Scott, Elmer Brehob and Jack Hunt of the bowling proprietors; Frances Cook, council resident, June BSwiggett, rances Deer: and Nell Schmidt of the women's association, Ted Siener, Harry Wheeler, Willard McGaughey and Oscar Behrens of the men's city association. The two recommendations which were put into a motion and seconded for future action were (A) that proprietors insert a clause in their contract that sald establishment agree to conform with ABC and WIBC regulations, and (B) that bowling proprietors make a permanent poster advertising in mixed doubles tourney. This poster will be set up in the house which will have the next doubles event. Revision of the yearbook was also under pressure in the open discussion. The’ council was unanimous in its agreement that the future text could be improved in a streamlined fashion. However, It appeared the tongue was in the cheek on style such revisions should receive. The more definite thoughts included an addition of the Indianapolis Women's Bowling Association, their records, aver«

““ages and past achievements.

A permanent, more informative record is badly needed from both associations , . . for the bowler, proprietor and writer. Several of the council members were reluctant to voice on the subject, But it is obvious one of two things must be done . . . either have a separate yearbook for the IWBA or include the women. into. one edition, which will carry the records of both sexes. A seperate yearbook isn't practical but you can’t slight the women . + + they are very vital to the

sport.

» » » ONE ‘RECOMMENDATION arose concerning the expense of advertising which is usually cdntributed by bowling sponsors. These ads are nothing more than donations by generous people. The ads are usually flat and have little drawing power. It was suggested that sponsors’ donations for ad-

vertising could be funneled into .

a more worthy channel such as providing entries for the city tournaments. The lack of entries in this year's city tourneys are a sore spot among the council and several agreed the dollars would make more sense as an aid for city entries. The possibility of making the mixed doubles tourneys sponsored by the women's association into month-long show was also discussed by the council, The tourneys are now held once every two weeks rotating to the different alley houses. It was stated the tourneys could draw greater entries and create a beter publicity mediurh if they were stretched over a 30-day period. However, that thought was countered with the reply that the bowlers have been acquainted with the current schedule too long and any cevision in dates would only lend to confuse them. Several bowling proprietors suggested the possibility of extending ‘the season from 33 weeks to 35 weeks. Their theory Is understandable but it hardly seems likely such a recommendation will develop. The bowling season, nationally, is now longer than any other sport with the possible exception of horse racing. If a bowler hasn't h his fill from September to May, then we can't offer advice on his addiction.

BOWL ING INTO approachfng summer {is also hampered by other outside interests and possibly a psychological factor. Baseball, swimming, fishing, picnicing, and the big draw of auto racing and the 3500-mile grind are just a few itéms that will keep the bowling fan pres occupied in May:

State Women Elect ALL THE BUSINESS in the Indiana Women's State tourney at Terre Haute won't be on the bowling alleys this afternoon. An annual election of officers will be held at 2:30 o'clock in the Terre Haute House. Only Margaret MeCurtin of South Bend, president of the ISWBA, doesn't come up for re-election. Among the women seeking re-election are Loretta Smith, Lafayette, first vice-president, Olga Schroeder, second vice president, Marguerita Kocher, North Webster, secretary.

Hall Skips to Florida

NOW WHO didn't show up?

When Jo Berkopes of Hickman |

Whirlaways read that Bus Hall of Talbot Lanes hinted she was afraid to show up for their match game last week, the young lady grabbed a telephone, Jo re-challenged Hall and Bus meekly accepted. But when the Whirlaway star arrived at Talbot's last week, Hall wasn't to be found. Bus not only skipped out on the series but also left town, As we get the story, Hall was planning a Florida this week with his uncle, Lawrence Hall. Bus rushed Uncle Larry with the suit case a few days early and the pair headed for Princeton, Florida. _ We venture to guess that upon his return Bus will find things hotter here than he did in the southland . . .

Ala Abbott-Costello

JACK HUNT of Fox-Hunt alleys and Ted Siener, the local ABC representative, are beginning to sound like the Abbott and Costello of bowling. The gentlemen were recently discussing what would happen if one of the electric-eye foul line devices went out.

Hunt put Siener on the spot

for an answer. “Well, I guess in that case + +, You would have to get a human judge.” “Is that right . . . but just with one eye good.” Hunt asked. Ted cracked, “Heck, I don't care if he has one or two eyes . just suit yourself.”

A TV Bowling Duel

IF YOU CAN top this one for TV in sports, let us know! A 10-game match duel was held recently between Buddy Bomar and Stan Slomenski. The gimmick «well, Bomar was: in Chicago- and Stomenski was in New ‘York. The keglers used TV to keep track of each other. The match was featured on Dave Garroway's show, “Today,” a three-hour frolic from 8 to 11 a. m., Who won? Sorry, we didn't see the show.
