STAR OF THE MONTH
Star of the month honors go
to Ecusta’s top bowler, Bruce
Reynolds of the Transportation
team. Bruce stepped into the
spotlight on Friday night, No-
vember 28, when he put three
games of 206, 202 and 199 to-
gether for a high set score of 607
pins.
This score, the highest indi
vidual scratch score thus far this
season, put Bruce into the elite
600 Club. Carrol Fletcher is the
only other 600 Club member.
He bowled a 604 pin set on Oc
tober 24.
Bruce is one of the leading
bowlers on the WNC Ecusta
team. In the IFNC League,
Bruce’s average is 188 pins for
43 games.
BOWLING LEAGUE RACE TIGHTENS
The Cello-Mecks Bowling team threw a monkey
wrench in the Pirates machinery on Friday night,
November 29th, to retard their progress by win
ning the match 3 to 0.
The three game win moved the Meeks into first
place, one game ahead of the Pirates.
At the same time the Transportation Hot-Rod
drivers were out running the Hillbillies to win
three games from them and move ahead of them
by a tv/o game margin.
The Bees and Sparkies each won three games
to tie for fifth place. This left the Alley Cats,
Champagne, Clear Paper and Pick-Ups behind in
that order.
On Friday night, December 5, the Hillbillies
clipped the Cello-Mecks two games out of three.
At the same time the Pirates took a 2 to 1 de
cision over the Clear Paper keglers to gain a tie
for first place with the Cello-Mecks. Transporta
tion managed to hold its two game lead over the
Hillbillies, two games behind the Meeks and Pi
rates, by defeating the Alley Cats 2 to 1. The Bees
moved out one game ahead of the Sparkies by vir
tue of a 3 game forfeit over Champagne while the
Sparkies dropped one game to the Pick-Ups.
The Champagne team dropped out of the league
and the league’s team captains voted to finish the
season with nine teams competing, using the
original schedule.
The league also adapted the use of rover bowlers
whereby extra bowlers can be used on teams which
are short a man or two. In other words, if team
A has six bowlers present and team B has only
four bowlers present then the extra bowler of
team A can bowl with team B as long as team B
is not competing against the rover bowlers’ orig
inal team.
Gutter Gus would like to remind all the bowlers
that our league will not bowl on Fridays Decem
ber 26th and January 2nd. However the league will
resume play on Friday night, January 9th.
WNC BOWLERS HOLD THEIR OWN
Our W.N.C. Team bowlers are holding their
own in the Western Carolina bowling league —
making every effort possible to retain their pos
session of the league’s crown. Since November
4th, the team has won seven of twelve games
bowled to move from third place to second place
in the standings, Vl of a game behind the leading
Champion Y team.
It is hard for Gutter Gus to describe the com
petition that our teams meet in these matches, for
the pressure and tension is always predominate
when your team is among the top contenders.
Cur team is to be commended for their fine
work and Gutter Gus urges you to drop by some
Tuesday night and see these fellows in action.
Your presence will be appreciated and no doubt
inspiring to our tenm.
Fancy bowling shirts are the
ddight of any bowling team.
Three of our bowling teams
are sporting their ”trade
marks”, designed by Echo Art
Editor Jack Morgan, on the
back of their shirts. Any
teams interested in obtaining
especially designed shirts
should contact the league
secretary for information.
