BOWLING EHQUETTE
Etiquette and sportsmanship
go hand in hand in all forms of
sport. In the game of ten pins a
code has been established and
has been accepted by bowlers
everywhere. Few of its rules
are official, but respect for
these “unwritten laws” give
consideratoin at all times to the
rights of the other bowler. Here
are some rules worthy of study
and application.
The beginner should be help
ed, not ridiculed. Many a pros
pective bowler has been laugh
ed out of the sport.
Proper equipment is a prime
requisite in all sports. A good
pair of bowling shoes will out
last many pairs of dress shoes
and cost much less. Considera
tion should be given the fact
that stiff soles do not permit the
foot muscles to function prop
erly when bowling, nor can the
proper purchase be obtained.
ROBERT COLWELL
Leather heels, es
ipecially, will
also deface and scar the ap
proaches, while rubber heels
often prevent bowlers from
sliding properly. Chalk shoud
never be used on bowling shoes.
It causes the leather to crack
and leaves the approaches in a
bad condition.
Never attempt to remedy
either a sticky or a slick ap
proach condition by the use of
chalk or any powder. This can
greatly inconvenience the bowl
er who follows you, who may
be wearing bowling shoes. The
management provides steel
wool for the purpose of clean
ing the approaches. Call his at
tention to any faulty condition
of the approaches.
Do not use a ball which is the
private property of someone
else unless given express per
mission to do so by the owner.
If the owner does permit you
to use his ball, refrain from us
ing chalk, resin, aristol, or any
other substance on your hand.
When any two bowlers, bear
ing corresponding positions in
the line up of opposing teams,
shall prepare to bowl (bowling
corresponding frames on ad
joining alleys), it shall be in
cumbent upon the bowler on
the right to bowl first. In the
event the pins are not yet set
up for the bowler on the right,
it shall be the duty of the bowl
er on the left to wait until his
opponent’s pins are properly
set. (Rule 13, American Bowl
ing Congress Rules governing
conduct of teams, leagues,
etc.).
Be at your post on the ap
proach, ready to bowl, when
your turn comes. Watch the
bowler to your right, he has the
right of way, if he is ready to
deliver his ball. Never, under
any circumstances, deliver your
ball simultaneously with the
bowler on either your right or
left. You may know bowling
etiquette, but the bowler on
your left may not.
CHARLES COLWELL
Brother Combination
Do not bend over and pick
your ball off the rack just as a
bowler on the other side is
ready to start his deliveiy or is
in the process of delivering his
ball.
When a bowler has finished
his delivery and has noted his
hit, he should turn and walk
directly back toward the rear
of the runway being careful to
remain on his own approach.
Do not stand at the line long-
after the pins have stopped fall
ing, attracting attention, caus
ing any unfavorable comment
and interfering with the man
on a neighboring approach.
Do not speak or make and
remarks to a bowler after he
has taken his stance or while
he is in the act of delivery. This
is a cardinal violation of the
bowlers’ code.

The Colwell Brothers, Rob
ert and Charles, pulled the up
set of the season when they
pushed aside all opposition and
carried home both the singles
and doubles tennis champion
ships.
Charles played superb ten
nis during his three elimina
tion matches. In the first round
Charles eliminated Ray Cooke
in two straight sets. Walter
Straus was the second opponent
and he was repelled by the
score of two sets to one. In the
finals, Charles slashed out an
impressive victory over Sam
Matthews by the score of 6:4;
2:6; 6:4.
The doubles matches proved
to be the tops in tennis. These
two boys, with all their ability
and determination, outplayed
and outfought the doubles team
consisting of Walter Straus and
Bob Anders. The finals pitted
the brothers against Ernest
English and Bill Long. This
match went off in three straight
sets.
So until next year Charles
and Bob claim ownership to the
Ecusta Tennis Cups.
PULP “A” ACTIONS
Boyd Meixell, shift A’s fly
ing bleacher operator who has
been called to the air corps,
was given a send-off by his
shift Thursday night at Con-
nestee Falls. Plenty of fried
chicken was served and music
was furnished by the shift
string band. Mike was present
ed with a gift and made a short
speech. Mr. Bennett and Mr.
Wilbur also made short speech
es. We all hate to see Mike
leave, but Uncle Sam needs
good men to do the flying.
Good luck, Mike!
Monroe Collins, James Coop
er, Charles Rector and Sang
Lyda journeyed to Georgia
their last days off, and saw two
good football games: Georgia-
Ole Miss., and Georgia Tech-
Notre Dame. M. Williams says
he would have had a better time
at the chicken fry if it had been
warm enough to go swimming
again. Zeb Swann is moving'to
town before he gets snowed in
and misses work. Dobie Lance
and David Blackwell would
like to buy a few squirrels since
they can’t kill any. Baynard
surely had a nice deer on his
car the other morning at the
gate. Eli Merrill is the newly
wed of the month on our shift
Carl Caldwell has some braces
to keep his eyes open on grave
yard. Rusty Smith sent his high
powered rifle back to the fac
tory, and they sent it back with
a pair of glasses for Rusty. M.
Fleenor is in the dog business
and will trade for any kind of
dog.
No man takes a vacation who
takes his work with him.
