! Maker .95 Tliursday, December 8, 1977—MIRROR-HERALD—Page 7A Bowlers’ Story Is Spreading •••• Die determined succeH story of Kings Mountain’s duckpln bowlers continues to spread ttmughout the southeast. As you’ll recall, local bowlers salvaged the lanes when old Mountain' Lanes Bowling Center was destroyed many years ago, and about a year back they purchased automatic plnsetters and Installed two good lanes In the basement of DlUlng Heating. ’Ihelr story was first told here, then picked up by other area papers and then hit Duckpln World, the Bible of duckpln bowling In the United States. Now, their story la being told by Lennox News the magazine for Lennox-Ooiporate Marketing. DlUlng, as you know. Is this city’s dealer for Lennox heating and cooling supplies. Even since the bowler’s story was last told here, their success has grown, even greater. ’Diey’ve captured some more national titles and the In terest In their two weekly leagues (the ’Tuesday and ’Thursday night mixed leagues) has continued to grow, with more an^more_bowlers taking part. lOngs Mountain area fishermen are going to be awfuUy happy In the near future. State WUdllfe officials are currently In the process of conducting tests on the fish population of Moss Lake and they report that the lake Is heavUy populated with blue gill, largemouth bass and carp. ’Die lake was stocked with over 10,000 channel catfish last week and plans are to stock some 40,000 more In the near future. ’The cats, officials said, should weigh around a pound within a year’s time and should grow rapidly after that.

Another Shrine Injustice ’Ihe Shrine Bowl team, announced a week ago, always gives one a chance to let some steam off, and this year’s no exception. There is always eomeone left off that should have been on, and that’s understandable, because out of all the hundreds of high schools in the state, only 86 players ■ can be selected. But the thing that tees me off about this year la Coach Don Hlpps of East Mecklenburg chose one player that psu^dpated In lees than half of his team’s 11 games. Granted, the young man Is a good athlete and good enough to play In the Shrine Bowl. But I know somehwere In North Cardllna there Is a young man with Just as much talent that played an entire season. Making a choice such aa this Is a grave Injustice to the thousands of athletes who worked hard all year . . . Western Carolina owned the nation’s number two rusher (Darrell Llpford) and the number one pass receiver (Wayne ToUeaon) this football season but got very little ink from the state’s big dally newspapers . . .

North Gaston, which walked off with league honors the past two seasons, lost three of Ita five starters. Including the SWC’s top two players, Nancy Scoggins and Donna Elrod. Several teams. Including KM Bums, Crest, East Rutherford, East Gaston, R-S Glentral and South Point, have all or moat of their players returning, ao It should be quite a race . . .
