Let Junior Play Pool;
It's Respectable Now
By JOHN COREY
Socially speaking, the status
of pool U rising. This is good.
Pool is an excellent game of
skill, but for years it was pub
licly ostracized because of the
environment in which billiards
was often played. The image
of the billiards hall was that of
a hangout for drinkers, smokers,
loafers, and gamblers.
The "praenee of a pool table
in your community" no longer
has "the caliber of disaster,"
as Meredith Willson's Music
Man says.
In fact, the pool table ap
pears to be taking a place be
side the ping-pong table or
chess beard so far as wbolesome
nets is concerned.
Wise parents and youth lead
ers reoogaiae that peel appeals
to young people, that it will
draw many of then regardleea
of the surroundings. As an out
let for youthful energy and the
competitive urge, it certainly
ranks with bowling and claims
AS JLB GtflrfC
Washington used to shoot with
Alexander Hamilton and Tho
mas Jefferson.
In recent years more and
more' homes have installed min
iature or even full-sized tables.
The same is true of recreation
rooms in churches and schools,
although the invasion here has
been cautious.
The old "brass spittoon" era
of the commercial pool hall is
fast giving way to respectable
pocket billiard salons with
"wall-to-wall carpeting, pastel
walls, background music, and
tables covered with blue, beige,
gold, or tangerine cloth instead
' of hte traditional green."
J Not every local .pool hall has
face-Hfted. Bat out of- date are
city ordinances prohibiting a
| MBlarda hall faoai faeiag amain
street or having a glass front.
Like modern bowling lanes,
the new billiard parlor is being
purified as ? recreation center
and opened to everyone, even
women and children.
This any there* nothing to
hide. It tlmm that pool shoot
ing, in the proper environment,
as the fun-type gam* it is. Civic
and school officials and parents
should press lor this change
wherever local pool balls fail
to face-lift.
The po&fible remit:
Junior could, instead of slip
ping off to (boot pool, say with
pride and honoaty to bis par
enti:
"My date and I are going t?
the pocket bilLard talon tonight
We're going to put into practice
some of the geometry and phy
sics we've been learning about
in sdhool."
