Not as many
scores being reported right now, mainly because several leagues had to be
cancelled due to the horrible weather we had recently, but we will continue on.
In the local
Senior League, Gerald Arnett rolled a 212 game, 61 pins over average, while Joe
Stokes was right behind with a 202, 60 pins over. Split conversions had Allen
Taylor picking up the 5-6, John Gebhart with the 3-5-10 and Judy Gebhart

The DABA and
the DWBA are holding a new fundraising tournament to help cover costs for the
Hall of Fame banquet. It is starting this week and will take place during your
league play. Scores shot that night will count if you choose to enter. Entry is
$10 each time you bowl and you can bowl as many times as you want in it until
January 25. Half of the entry fee goes to the hall of fame, the other half to
the prize fund. This is handicapped at 90% of 220. Association representatives
will be at your leagues to get you signed up. Please support this event. This
is for sanctioned leagues only!!! You must pay BEFORE you start bowling for
this event.
Also, be on the
look out for entry forms for the 77th Annual Men's City Tournament to be held
this year at Lincoln lanes. Team event will be Feb 15th and 16th and doubles
and singles will run Feb 22nd and 23rd. Entry forms will hit all houses here
real soon.
I wanted to talk
just a bit about the USBC. Yes, again. It seems to me, and would love to hear
from you, do you feel as if the USBC is representing you, the average Joe
Bowler? In my opinion, they do not. Over the past few years, they have not only
eliminated several awards they have previously issued, they are now planning on
basically deleting even more. Awards they have eliminated have been the Big 4,
the 7-10, all spare game, Dutch 200, and the triplicate. As of August 1, 2014
they will be making some of the awards a once in a life time thing. For
example, you will be acknowledged once for a 300 game and other high scores.
They will be eliminating the 11 strikes in a row plaque. They have already done
away with the familiar patches, switched to magnets, now they are giving away
luggage tags. Have they asked the members what they would like to see happen?
If not, maybe they should.
That wraps up the
reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have
your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com
