Warriors struggle, seek second win

By MARK WEINSTEN Sports Writer Wawasee continued to struggle on the tennis courts as it lost a pair of contests, dropping its record to 1-7. In a rescheduled match with Bremen, the Warriors were whitewashed 7-0 by the perennial Northern Lakes Conference power. Wawasee, trying to rebound from the lopsided loss to the Lions, continued to slide backwards with a 4-3 loss to Rochester on May 7. Against Bremen, Jennifer Tuttle proved to be the top Wawasee player as she won four games against her opponent. Still, Kim Hickman bested Tuttle 6-1, 6-3 for the win. “Jennifer has been my big winner all year,” said Wawasee head coach Cindy Peterson. "She’s a competitor all the way, and will go after anyone.” Wawasee's top singles player, Sharon Bohnstedt suffered her eighth straight setback of the season Bohnstedt fell to Bremen’s Jodie Pefefferle 6-0, 6-2 and Rochester's Cindy Siles, 6-3, 6-2. "She's not a quitter,” said Peterson of Bohnstedt "She'll keep on trying hard and hopefully she will get over this bad streak and turn things around." Other Warriors dropping matches to- the Lions were Lisa Keener. Jennifer Tuttle, Therrian Hinesley and Candy Clevenger. Keener lost 6-0, 6-1, while Tuttle dropped a 6-1. 6-3 decision to Kim Hickman. Bremen's Susan Hueni defeated Hinesley in consecutive 6-1 sets while Clevenger rounded out singles play with a 6-1. 6-2 loss to Janet Laudeman. Wawasee doubles teams didn’t fair any better Melissa and Michelle Courtney dropped their match 6-0, 6-1 to Katie DeSantis and Cari Scott. Meanwhile. Mindi Wakeland and Kelly Rensberger lost 6-1, 6-2 to Tricia Carl and Ronda Dinkledein. Against the Zebras. Wawasee simply didn't perform up to its ability. Peterson cited fatique as a. reason for the poor showing as the Warriors dropped their seventh match. After Cindy Siles disposed of Bohnstedt in straight sets, 6-3. 6-2, Dottie Pample took care of

A popular sport

By POLLY ADKINS Guest Feature Writer Just like a lot of fads and trends, they come and go. Some sports seem to fade in and out, others are here to stay. There is one sport I would like to bring into focus and let the readers in on some interesting facts about it. Where did it begin? Who invented the sport? William G. Morgan, a physical director of the Holyoke Y.M.C.A., (Mass.), started this sport as a recreation and competitive exercise for his businessmen’s classes, in 1895. He used the bladder of a basketball for volleyball, and used a tennis net stretched across the gymnasium. Eventually, the physical director society of Y*M.C.A. adopted a set of rules for the sport in 1900 and controlled it until 1928. Then the Volleyball Association was organized and published new rules and guide books. The Association also began regional and national tournaments. It became part of the Olympics in 1964, and has been taught in our schools and colleges. Today, the sport is very popular. Worldwide tournaments are held all over the United States. The sport is played indoors and outdoors, there is beach volleyball, grass volleyball and water volleyball. Power volleyball is distinguished from recreational volleyball by the need for highly refined implementation of team strategy and individual skills. It requires

scratch series (740). Other individual awards were presented to Wayne Alderfer, high scratch game (278); Maynard Hancock and Dale Rigdon, high handicap game (285); and Ron Harper, high handicap series (760). Raymond Butler received the achievement award for increasing his average by 22 pins. The league pinfall average was 163 per man. Teams or individuals interested in bowling during the 1984-85 season should contact Wawasee Bowl.

and possesses a certain amount of quickness, alertness, coordination, and stamina. Basically, the equipment has stayed the same over the years, new rules have come and gone. Local Y.M.C.A.’s usually have leagues, and recreational volleyball open to the public. It is a good sport for general exercise and does not require too much strenuous physical work. Probably the most fun volleyball is still played in the back yard, with good friends and relatives, oira hot and sunny day I With the smell of the barbecue pit burning, and the sound of children playing.

Warriors raise record to 10-9

By TOM CHARLES Sports Editor Wawasee’s baseball Warriors continued their roller coaster season last week, dropping a contest at North Wood, splitting a doubleheader with Concordia and downing Bremen and Northfield. The Warriors are now 10-9 on the season. Lefty Rob Jewson took the loss in Monday’s game at North Wood. Although he struck out five batters in three innings of work, Jewson could not recover from two unearned runs in the first inning and wound up on the short end of a 5-2 score. Jim Mast hurled for the Panthers until he was chased from the game by a Tracey Ryman line drive which hit him in the ankle. Mast did not allow a run during his three innings of work. The only two Wawasee runs came Comparing Bowling’s Greats by Chuck Pezzano Though it makes for interesting and often heated conversation, it’s futile and frustrating to discuss the relative merits of super stars of different eras Earl Anthony retired last year, and went out in a blaze of glory In recent months Anthony has been named Bowler of the Year by the Bowling Writers Association of Amer ica. Player o( the Year by the Sporting News in a poll taken among nis fellow pros, and earned himself the- number one spot on Bowling Magazine s All America team, in addition he has received assorted other honors from various groups across the country So it is not surprising that he is being hailed by some as the greatest bowler of all. time. All-time is a king, king tune We all nave our favorites, according toour ages or other partic ular leanings. But it is obvious that-a super star of one era would have been a super star in any other era. That's what Halls of Fame are all about, to establish and honor forever the greats of every era Today, with the great advances in equip ment and the surge in high scores there are dozens of bowlers just past high school age who have better records, on paper, than some of our most esteemed Hall of Famers. Most of today's bowlers have never rolled in a bowling center in which the urns were set by humans. Few have rolled witn a wooden ball, against all wood pins There was a time when the only ball was basically a black rubber ball, and there were no dots, arrows or other targeting devices built into the approaches and lanes Records make bowlers, but when record keeping was skimpy and tournaments were at a premium, it was difficult to build a record, because much of it was impromptu action, before and after official leagues and touma ments. The great John "Count ” Gengler has always been hailed as one of the best of all time, yet he graces no Halls of Fame, and his official records are almost nil Manv bowlers have been considered the best of all time, among them Jimmy Smith. Ned Day. Hank Manno. Don Carter. Junie McMahon. Dick Weber, and of course Earl Anthony They, and many others, were super stars, worthy of all the praise that can be heaped upon them Can you pwk one of them? Sure you can. but not without an argument. You do what you have to do when you have to do it the way you can obtain the best results with the tools available That's why you can t admire a big hooking bowler of today without doing the same for the guy who tossed a straight as an arrow ball back at the turn of the century Earl Anthony has now rightfully joined the long list of men who will be discussed as long as there is the sport of bowling Who will take his place’ That's difficult to say except to say that someone definitely will. Accept the past, the present and the future as vital parts of the sport, and don't be too praising or too critical of any era Just remember. 20 years from now. whether you like them or not. these will be the good old days.

in the fourth inning off reliever Eric Fields. Ryman was the hitting star for Myron Dickerson’s squad, which has been hurting for offensive production all year. Ryman slapped out two hits in four at-bats and scored one of the Warriors’ runs.
