DOWN THE ALLEY WITH GUTTER GUS ECUSTA BOWLING LEAGUE The mighty Bees have added ten games to their win column against eight losses in the past six weeks to hold on to first place in our Ecusta Bowl ing League race. The Hillbillies managed to hold on to second place and at this writing the Hill billies are four games behind the leaders, up through Friday night, January 18th. The Pirates have swapped places with the Clear Paper five since our last report with the Pirates now in third place five games behind the leaders and one game ahead of the fourth place Clear Paper team. The Electric Shop team, which has won 13 games against 5 losses in the past six weeks, moved out of the cellar into a three way tie for fifth place with the Cello-Mecks and Finishing teams. Transportation, Alley Cats and the Maintenance teams make up the bottom of the leagues ladder in this respective order. However knowing the calibre of bowling these teams are capable of you can rest assured they will give their opponents plenty of trouble from here on in trying to move up the ladder. W. N. C. BOWLING LEAGUE Our Ecusta Team is still leading the W.N.C. pack by a two game margin through January 15th, with a three game postponed match of January 1st, yet to be bowled. Bruce Reynolds and John Emory have managed to stay up among the top ten bowlers of the league with 185 and 184 pin averages respectively. Gutter Gus would like to urge you, as an Ecus- tan, whether you are a bowling fan or not, to drop in at the Asheville Bowling Center some Tuesday night and see our Ecusta team in action, if you want to see some real bowling. Our Ecusta team is to be commended for the fine bowling they are doing to lead a league of twelve teams which con sist of the best bowlers in Western North Caro lina. Keep up the good work fellows.
