STRIKES, SPARES, SPLITS AND MISSES OF OUR
ECUSTA BOWLERS AND TEAMS
Interdepartmental League: As of February l6th,
the Champagne Cardinals were leading the
League three games ahead of the second place
Finishing team. The Champagne Cubs were in
third place, one game behind the Finishers, and
two games ahead of the Maintenances Eagles.
With only two weeks of League competition re
maining, these four teams will probably be the
top four winners of the League, although their
positions are subject to change depending on
the outcome of the two final matches.
In next month’s issue of THE ECHO we will
publish the final statistics on the winning teams
and individuals of the League for the 1948 and
1949 season.
Ecusta and Enka Departmental teams to meet:
A series of bowling matches between our Ecusta
and the Enka departmental bowling teams has
been arranged, with the first matches scheduled
to be rolled off Thursday, February 24th, Other
matches will be bowled on Thursday, March 3rd,

The twelve teams from each league will com
pete, with four teams from each league meeting
on each of these dates. Pairings were made ac
cording to the team averages in each league. All
the matches will be bowled on the Brevard
bowling alleys.
Much fun and fellowship were enjoyed in a
similar series last year and we look forward to
even greater fun, fellowship, and bowling this
year.
