9M THfiPAMi /TEG INJURY PUTS / TO CARTER’S \ Ls BOWLING DAYS 1 W By Jim Dressel f Its been a few years since the competitive heyday of Don Carter, once known as "Mr. Bowling.” Carter, once judged the greatest bowler of all-time in a special magazine poll, is now 52 and reigns over a chain of bowling centers bearing his name in Texas. Louisiana and Ronda. He’s still a giant ta the game even though he limits his on-the-lanes activity to two leagues a week plus special appearances. But even that minimal bowling may be finished forever for the tenpin great now that he’s reinjured the knee on his sliding leg. Carter, who was plagued with knee injuries during his career and whose career ended because of them, suffered his latest-a tendon tear in the back of his left knee-while bowling. The early prognosis is that he may never bowl again, recreational or otherwise, even if he opts for surgery. The knee operation, if he agrees to it. would be his seventh. Ironically, his doctors figure he might be able to play golf again by the fall, but seemingly his bowling days have finally ended. HERE AND THERE-It took pro bowler Art Trask 10 years to win his first title on the Professional Bowlers Association circuit, but the Fresno. California nghthander quickly followed it up with two more national titles to quickly establish himself as a premier tour player.. .Four-time Woman Bowler of the Year Donna Adamek. Duarte. California, had her most recent 300 games approved by the Women’s International Bowling Congress, and is now tied for the honor of most prolific female perfectionist with five.. Bow<cr of the Decade Betty Morris. Stockton. California, shares that tie with a 300 quintet of her own.. American Bowling Congress delegates voted to raise ABC dues next season, but at $5 a year,it’s still one of the game’s biggest bargains.. .For the second straight year. Earl Anthony, who earlier this year became the first pro bowler to win a million dollars in his career, eclipsed the SIOO,OOO mark prior to the end of the season-opening Winter Tour. Through the PBA Cleveland Open. Anthony hadrthree titles, and was matched only by Trask, who also had three.
