.r-HrU. PAGE SIXTEEN THE ECHO September, 19.46, i ^ed It tv®”’ inti ( 't WLINC Sports Page By JACK ALEXANDER SPORTS CHATTER Bowling requires concentration. Therefore, every care should be exercised in recognizing a fellow bowler’s right to this privilege. The following suggestions will help you do this easily: Remain in back of foul line at all times. Control your temper and refrain from abusive language—^the pins can’t hear you and your fellow bowlers do not appreciate it. If a bowler on the adjoining alley is addressing the pins, do not step in front of him to pick your ball off the rack, but remain out of sight until he is well on his way. If you are both ready to bowl at the same time, give him the first privilege unless he signals for you to proceed first. While delivering your ball, use only the width of your alley for any “contortion” or “body english” in which you may wish to indulge. After delivering the ball, walk straight back and do not remain standing at the foul line for an excessive length of time. Be a good sport at all times— give credit where credit is due, and remember it is easy to be a good winner, but it takes a lot of sportsmanship to be a good loser. Remember that bowling is just a game, and that splits, misses and “taps” are just as much a part of it as the strikes and spares. Be on time for league meetings, matches and competitions, and thus be considerate of your fellow bowlers. * \"t(X IE # 3 t t U MACHINE ROOM BASEBALL Cl To Get Large Trophy-^ ) pagne Team End® jSecond Once again the Mach*''® ^ boys formed themselves hustling aggregation to 1946 championship Mg”®’ interdepartmental baseba Although hard hit by , j,j(cli- loss of their co-manager ^ er, Wilson Gregory, the ^ jjp- "it's just a SU66ESTION JOE , YOU KNOW ITS COSTOMkARY TO JUST ROLL THE BALL.'* Plans Are Being Made To Launch 1946-47 Bowling League Season Swimmingf In Lake To End Sept. 15th.

Interest Is Greater Than Ever THE DOG ' Down in the silent hallway Scampers the dog about, And whines, and barks and scratches, In order to get out. Once in the glittering starlight. He straightway doth begin To set up a doleful howling In order to get in. -R. K. Munkittrlch. Perron Will Give Boxing Istruction Interest in boxing at Ecusta has taken such a decided jump that it is now worthy of some support. Within the very near future such necessary equipment as a training bag, a speed bag and gloves will be made available to those inter ested in getting a good workout. Fortunately a fellow employee can and will work with box ing enthusiasts. Dick Perron, fore man in the Refining department, has consented to give a portion of his time in working and develop ing young boxers. Dick can be reached at Ecusta, extension 231 or through the Ath letic department. Anyone having boxing ability or anyone caring to earn the art of self defense can The time is approaching for all departments to begin making plans for the 1946-47 bowling season. Since last season many depart ments have been affected by the return of G. I.’s, thereby increas ing the number of people who are interested in being placed on a departmental team. Offhand, the athletic depart ment cannot predict exactly how many teams or leagues will be nec essary to satisfy everyone con cerned. Since bowling has become such a popular sport, it is wise for all department heads to analyze the situation. Bowling is now entering its sev enth season at the plant, making it easier for each department head to place bowling leadership in ca pable hands. To have a successful season, all must work and think to gether, and above all, in each de partment, there must be a certain amount of promotional work. During the next few days, the athletic department would appre ciate your giving this matter some very serious consideration, so that when the organizational meeting is called, each department cjm be properly represented. Official no tification will be forwarded to ev ery department in proper time. tinued their winning ^ ture 1946 honors. jsie Led by Rick Orr and Case, leading hitters fo son, the champs fougo . ojiy their ’46 schedule one game.
