The Fieldcrest Men’s Bowling
will start September 5, at the
Bowling Center, Eden.
Last year was a very good one
for many Fieldcrest bowlers.
Leonard Smith converted the 7-
10 split, receiving a patch from
the American Bowling Congress,
and was also on the
championship team, the Central
Warehouse. The Blanket Mill
team won the runner-up trophies
plus took home four individual
trophies. The Sheet Spinning
team did not win many games,
but still had their name in the
pot, getting three individual
trophies. The biggest surprise,
however, was the fact no one
team ran away with its division.
In Division “A” the Blanket
Mill won the first half by one-
half game over Bobby Foley and
the Karastan Weave team. The
second half was won by the
Industrial Engineering team in a
very tight race. The Mechanical
Development team was 2.5
games out, Karastan Weave four
games out and the Blanket Mill
team five games.
All four teams rotated from
first place to fourth place the
entire second half. The Blanket
Mill team won the Division “A”
title in a roll with the I. E.
Department. Division “B” was
won by Central Warehouse in the
first half over the Bedspread
Mill by 4.5 games.
In the second half, the
Sheeting Mill got a good lead and
was doing well until the Central
Warehouse team won 16 games
in a row to go into a tie the last
night of the second half.
The last week was “do or die”
for both teams, and both teams
did it. Then they had to roll each
Glance Is Outstanding Athlete
Harv^ Glance, a 17-year-old
junior at Central High School in
Phenix City, Ala., is a
speedburner in the 100 yard dash
and the 220 yard dash. Thus far,
this year, he has placed first in
the 100 and 220 yard dash in
Region I in Mobile, Ala. He has
also placed first in the 100 and
220 yard dash in Region II in
Florence, Florida.
Region III track and field
events are scheduled for late
July in Orangeburg, S.C. If
Harvey wins his events in
Region III, he will be eligible to
participate in the Junior
Olympic Games in Nebraska
this fall. He averages better than
9.5 seconds in the 100 yard dash
and said with a lot of
determination, “I am going to
run a 100 in 9.3 this year.”
Not only is he a speedburner,
but very competitive in broad
jump and the triple jumps;
besides being the anchor man
for the Red Devils’ relay teams.
Curtis Washburn was honored by fellow employees in
the Channel Department at the Blanket Finishing Mill with
a birthday dinner on June 14.
He is a fixer in the Napping Department at the Blanket
Finishing Mill and has been employed by Fieldcrest for 47
years.
Harvey’s career in field and
track events extends as far back
as the sixth grade when he won
his first ribbons. He has been a
winner ever since.
Along with the ribbons he has
already claimed, he was
Georgia Indoor State Champion
in 1972 in the 60 yard dash, when
he tied the state record at 6.3
seconds.
Harvey’s father, Wheeler
Glance, a second hand in the
Shipping Department at the
Columbus Towel Mill, when
asked how he felt about his son’s
HARVEY GLANCE
chances in participating in the
Junior Olympics, said, “He’s
number one and we will be at the
Olympics.” 9
