y/f /great & Z TOURNAMENT X| L ENTERS 3RD YEAR 1 F By 808 JOHNSON Nostalgia will fill the air in Ramsey, NJ. come the second week in Septem; her, when the 3rd annual Great and Greatest Tournament is conducted at Brunswick Interstate Lanes. The top bowling stars of past decades will team with the bowling world’s current stars in a unique doubles event, sponsored by the Brunswick Corp.

Brunswick’s first Great and Greatest Tournament, held in 1978 in Las Vegas, was won by Tommy Hudson and Hall of Famer Joe Joseph. The next year, a women’s division was added as the festivities moved down the road a piece to Irving, Texas.

Prize money totaling Sioo,ooo will be up for grabs in New Jersey, but the Great and Greatest is one tournament in which money takes a backseat to pride. BOWLING BRIEFS: Many bowling observers predicted that if Ernie Schlegel could ever win his first tournament, he’d be unstoppable. While that remains to be seen, Schlegel has since notched title number two and appears to be much more confident on the lanes... How do major league baseball pitchers like Bert Blylevin, Jack Billingham and Steve Busby unwind after a game? By bowling, that’s how. They are among a number of big leaguers who list bowling as a favorite way of relaxing. .. From the “This Time They’ve Gone Too Far Department,” the tenpin sport now has a bowling polar bear. That’s right, the polar bear at the Anchorage, Alaska zoo has been playing with a bowling ball unceasingly ever since it was donated earlier this year. A number of duckpin balls were also donated, and the zoo reports that the seals there are enjoying them...

C. -- The U.S. and other western democracies must face the fact that the national training, subsidization, programs for athletes in the Soviet Union and East Germany enable them to dominate the Olympics-as the U.S. once did. It’s a propaganda triumph for the Communists, who like to point to the accomplishment as the shape of things to come. For the U.S., it’s just as well that our athletes didn’t compete in Moscow. The Russians would have won the lion’s share of the medals, as they have done in recent times. For U.S. athletes, however, it’s a poor business. And perhaps steps should get underway at once to organize an Olympic game among the free nations of the world. That will be a difficult task, unless further Russian aggression helps the process along, which seems likely. In an Olympics meet of free world nations, there would be little of the tension and nationalistic feeling which have crept into the Olympics in recent years--despite denials. Millions of Americans have hoped, regularly, that our athletes could, once again, outscore the Russians in medals. That seems unlikely until we inaugurate a nationallydirected, federally-supported training program.

Miss Brouwer also stated she feels she will be better able to relate to the players, having been a player herself during high school and college.
