Bowling League
Will Meet Wed.;
New Alley Hours
Effective Immediately the
Waynesville Bowling Center -will
be closed on Tuesdays and remain
Dpen on Wednesdays until further
notice. The change in hours was
decided on in order that the mixed
league, which is now in formation,
would not conflict with several
nther leagues now in operation in
Asheville.
The mixed league will meet Wed
nesday for final planning and to set
up handicaps. Six teams have been
formed with openings left for sev
eral men and women bowlers to
complete the league. Any persons
interested in bowling in the Wed
nesday night league are asked to
contact Mrs. Ila Jean Yount at GL
J-6070 or be at the Bowling Cen
ter not later than 7:30 Wednesday
night.
Reports that eagles carry off
animals weighing up to 50 pounds
and eat up to 40 pounds of meat
at a meal are called obvious and
gross exaggerations by game ex
perts who say that a small frac
tion of those weights are all that
any known eagle can handle.
Get Ball
That Fits.
Nagy Says
(This is the first ot five stories
on BETTER BOWLING written
especially for AP Newsfeatures
by Steve Nary, Bowler of the
year.)
By STEVE NAGy
You will be taking the first step
to better bowling when you get
your own personal equipment fit
ted exactly for you. It's hard to
control a ball that doesn't fit well.
When you roll the same ball every
time, you can analyze your game
and correct your mistakes.
With a custom-fitted ball, the
finger-holes are spaced properly
and your fingers fit the holes com
fortably. And, don't forget, the
thumb often swells when you're
bowhng so get the thumb-hole nice
and loose. Most bowling alleys have
a Brunscometer to measure the
hand for a perfect fit.
No bowler can do his best with
out regulation bowling shoes be
cause proper footwork is mighty
important to your game. A right
bander's shoes have a rubber sole
on the right shoe for good grip
ping. and leather on the left for
slide. Of course, it's just the oppo
site for left handers.
Then buy a bag in which to keep
your ball and shoes. Then you'll be
ready to go when a buddy says,
"Let's bowl!"
