'Bowling Prattle' After “casing” all the bowling teams in the various leagues at Wawasee Bowl, we can’t help but brag of the multitude of fine people — both men and women — that show such grand sportsmanship—people of all walks of life — even a fellow that wants to be a county auditor — think they call him Noble — the fellow that quit wrestling 'round with money and went to bowling to “Keep In Trim” for the auditorship job. Another fellow they call Ady, he sold his fishing taclde store so he could devote more timte to bowling. There is one thing II want you to explain — why is 'it the Monday night “B” league has to have five husky police officers on the scene — oh, that’s it ’eh — well, bowling will reduce that surplus “mussel” ’round the waist line. I am wondering — do you know Jack Carr has mastered the art of getting the 10 pin ? Jack don’t let it get you down—for as good as I think I am, it to have blowed that same pin 3 time's in a row. Too bad Roy Schultz and Robert Strombeck had to merely „miss the 600 mark other night. By the way let’s not omit the fact that each of the leagues have top notich secretaries — every last one of them, including Smitty. This has been somewhat of a “dry run,” I’ll try to dig up some better “dirt” for the next issue. Your single barrel Prattle Reporter
