Roark recalls Bowling 

For Dollars on TV 

By Jim Woodruff 

J.B. Roark has fond memories of the old TV bowling shows in 

Dallas. 

They included Bowling for Dollars and Bonus Bowling. 

“They were very popular,” said Roark. 

Bowling for Dollars was hosted by Verne Lundquist, then the 

Channel 8 sports guy but now with CBS. 

It was in the 1970s and Bonus Bowling was in the 1960s. 

J.B. did not send in an entry, but his wife did without him

Th e Bowling News 

By JIM WOODRUFF 

I will be leaving the Bowling 

News staff in a couple of more 

weeks. No, I have not been 

fired. 

It is not an easy step to take. 

It is just that my son Ken 

has given me an offer I can’t 

turn down. I will be moving to 

Costa Rica to live with him. 

I hope I’m making the right 

choice. I know nothing about 

the country other than it is located 

just this side of Panama, 

and the people who have been 

there love it. 

Ken has been trying to 

get me to make the move for 

several years. He has a plastic 

business there. 

I’ve decided that if he wants 

me to come down so much that 

I should give it a try. 

Quite a few of my friends 

say I am crazy and should not 

go. On the other hand, many 

tell me it’s beautiful and great 

and I will love it. 

They say I would be an idiot 

not to go. 

Living promises to be easy 

with a full-time maid. 

I will have to admit that I 

am scared to death, 

I cherish having so many 

great friends here and I will 

miss them a bunch I know. 

Ken guarantees me a great 

time, and I am looking forward 

to spending more time with 

him. 

I really have never enjoyed 

many days without some sort 

of newspaper pressure. 

I was with the old Dallas 

Times Herald 35 years before 

retiring. A year after retiring, I 

started working for the Bowling 

News and enjoyed it very much. 

The Hazletts – Carol and 

Bill – and the Franklins 

– Genie and Tony – have been 

nice to work with. 

They love the game and 

have done a terrific job with 

the Bowling News. It would 

be awfully hard to beat as the 

country’s best. 

I hope to do some writing 

for them from down there, 

Hope to see you later. 

Here is wishing all good 

luck and good health.

Ryan Gauthier 

This week’s high man is 

Ryan Gauthier with a 298- 

268-234 for an 800 series at 

BRC Thousand Oaks in San 

Antonio. Ryan is going back to 

school full time at Northwest 

Vista College in San Antonio. 

He bowls in one league full 

time, but subs at different 

centers during the week. 

What is your high series? An 

846 on Nov. 26, 2008. I have 

bowled three 800s. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? Two. 

Thoughts on your big night? 

I needed to lengthen my span 

and change my pitches, so I 

was actually in the pro shop 

that day to get everything 

changed. I shot the 800 with 

the old pitches, but have now 

switched to the new pitches. 

Now the question is, why 

would I change if I just 800? 

What ball did you throw? A 

Storm Virtual Gravity. 

Who drills your balls? Joe 

Brock at BRC Thousand Oaks. 

What is your all-time 

favorite bowling ball? The Storm 

T-Road Pearl. 

What is your average in the 

Thursday Early Mixed league? 

243 after nine games. 

What is your all-time high 

average? 226. 

How long have you been 

bowling? I have been bowling 

for 17 years. Started when I 

was seven. My family bowled 

and I went to the bowl with my 

dad and kept score for him and 

his team. Watched the better 

bowlers and picked it up from 

there. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? Walter Ray Williams 

Jr., his versatility and consistency. 

He is the perfect guy 

to model your game after if 

you want to be a good bowler. 

Every style is different, but he 

is one you want to watch. 

Most memorable bowling moment? 

The day that I shot 846. 

I started out with 299-300 and 

was bowling my dad. He was 

choked up and emotional and I 

remember turning around after 

my last shot and giving him a 

hug and he told me how proud 

he was. It was the high series 

in the area at the time, but 

was broken two weeks later. 

I bowled it at Country Lanes 

in Ishteming, MI. It is in the 

upper peninsula of Michigan, a 

16 lane center. 

Ryan’s tip of the week: Find 

a routine that is successful for 

you. The last thing I tell myself 

before I throw a shot is to 

exhale. That always keeps me 

loose and relaxed. 

Miki Jo Parish 

This week’s high woman 

for the third time is Miki Jo 

Parish with a 215-267-264 for a 

746 series at AMF Showplace 

Euless Lanes. 

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, September 16, 2010 | Page 3 

How does it feel to be the 

first three-time participant in 

the spotlight? I can’t believe it. 

It’s a good feeling to know that 

I can bowl that good. 

Who is going to win the 

Super Bowl this year? I am not a 

football fan, but I will say, “Go 

Cowboys”.

12th Annual Longview 

Scratch Doubles 

PBA LLC Photo 

Jason Couch Chris Johnson 

The 12th Annual Longview 

Scratch Doubles was held Labor 

Day weekend at Oil Bowl in 

Longview. 

Forty-six teams bowled 

two matches on Friday night. 

Twelve teams were eliminated, 

including two bye teams. 

Teams in the losers bracket 

returned Saturday morning to 

begin a long day of bowling in 

the double elimination tournament. 

The winners bracket also 

returned later in the morning 

to bowl. 

Jason Couch and Chris 

SEATTLE, WA — After a 

one-year absence, the 68th U.S. 

Open will return to Brunswick 

Zone Carolier in North Brunswick, 

NJ, Feb. 21-27, with the 

addition of a unique three-day 

schedule of live television 

coverage. 

Carolier had previously 

hosted five consecutive U.S. 

Opens between 2005 and 2009. 

The U.S. Open, considered 

by many to be the most challenging 

title in all of bowling 

to win, is an extreme test of 

bowling skill, patience and 

perseverance. What makes the 

U.S. Open special is that nonprofessionals, 

men or women, 

are invited to compete against 

the world’s top professionals on 

difficult lane conditions that 

place a high premium on accuracy 

and precise shot-making. 

Bill O’Neill of Southampton, 

PA, is defending U.S. Open 

champion, winning his first 

career major title in Indianapolis 

in 2010 over Mike Scroggins 

of Amarillo, TX, who won the 

2009 U.S. Open title at Carolier. 

O’Neill’s victory – his second of 

the 2009-10 Lumber Liquidators 

PBA Tour season as well as 

the second of his young career 

– was part of a season that 

saw five first-time champions 

crowned. 

Unique to the 2011 event 

will be three days of live 

Johnson sent Brett Cooper 

and Tyler Jensen to the loser 

bracket, after defeating them 

1321-1287. 

Couch and Johnson were 

the only team undefeated, 

while Omar Arnett and Eric 

Traylor and Brett Cooper and 

Tyler Jensen were both in the 

losers bracket. 

The three teams decided not 

to bowl the remaining games 

and split the money. They 

declared Couch and Johnson 

the winners and have Arnett 

and Traylor and Cooper and 

2011 U.S. Open returns to 

Brunswick Carolier Lanes 

television coverage, including 

the first-ever national network 

coverage of the final round 

of round-robin match play 

on Saturday, Feb. 26, plus 

live coverage of the “position 

round” – the dramatic final 

game of match play which will 

determine the four players who 

will advance to the stepladder 

finals on Sunday, Feb. 27. The 

third show will provide live 

coverage of several matches 

during the final game in the 

opening round of match play 

on Friday, Feb. 25. 

“Bringing the position 

round of the U.S. Open to a 

national television audience is 

something we are extremely 

excited about,” said PBA deputy 

commissioner Tom Clark. “The 

energy of that round consistently 

produces some of the 

most exhilarating moments in 

sports, but it’s a critical part 

of PBA competition that only 

spectators in the building and, 

most recently, Xtra Frame subscribers, 

ever get to witness.” 

An example was the 2010 

position round in Indianapolis 

when eventual PBA Player of 

the Year Walter Ray Williams 

Jr., needed a seven-count on 

his fill ball to clinch a spot 

in the televised finals, but he 

left four pins standing, ending 

up tied with Norm Duke and 


Jensen tie for second. 

Couch and Johnson earned 

$5,500 for the win, while the 

other two teams each received 

$4,500. 

Close matches throughout 

the tournament were: Phillip 

Kemmer/Robert Felice defeated 

Tony Franklin/Brad Hunter, 

1271-1263, sending them to 

the losers bracket early in the 

tournament. 

Couch/Johnson defeated 

Mark Williams/Derrick Williams, 

1335-1331, giving them 

their first loss. Donnie Wilson/ 

Brian Kuykendall defeated John 

Harper/Shawn Maldanado, 

1332-1327, also giving them 

their first loss. Tony Escoyne/ 

Butch Cormier defeated Andy 

Patterson/Nathan Bohr, 1264- 

1263, sending them to the losers 

bracket. Harper/Maldanado 

defeated Escoyne/Cormier, 

1331-1309, eliminating them 

from the tournament. Derwin 

Pitre/Mike Scroggins defeated 

William Haverland/Mike Dole, 

1448-1440, also eliminating 

them from the tournament. 

Haverland bowled an 805 series 

in their loss. 

High game and series were 

rolled by Phillip Kemmer, 300, 

Andy Mortensen, 299, Donnie 

Wilson, 290, Derrek Eoff, 792, 

and Xeno Garcia, 789. 

Cashing in the tournament 

were: 

4. Mike Scroggins/Derwin 

Pitre, $1,250, plus $1,100 

from the calcutta; 5-6. Shawn 

Maldanado/John Harper, Mike

plus $500 from the calcutta,

Tony Thayer, Tony Franklin/ 

Brad Hunter, $400 each team. 

Bowlers from Florida, 

Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, 

Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana 

and Texas participated in the 

event. 

The tournament paid out 

$14,100 for places 1-12 and the 

calcutta paid out $10,600 for 

places 1-9. 

Next year the tournament 

plans to increase the entries to 

64 teams.

Bowling Update from 

Tenpins & More 

By Steve Mackie 

Rio Rancho, NM 

Miller-Mackie wins 

third title this year 

Dana Miller-Mackie won 

her third title of the year on 

Monday’s Labor Day Scratch 

Series event at Tenpins & More, 

having previously won the New 

Year’s Day Scratch Series and 

the Golden Ladies Classic in 

Las Vegas in March. 

Miller-Mackie at 54 became 

the oldest bowler to win a 

scratch series event, eclipsing 

the record she had shared with 

Chuck Patterson, who also won 

when he was 53 years old. 

She went through unbeaten 

in five matches, often highlighted 

by big scoring, that included 

area Bowler-of-the-Year, 

Carl Chavez beating Adrienne 

Miller, 245-235, Kevin Richardson 

over Brian Skidmore, 289- 

248, Dan Brenning eliminating 

Chavez, 225-215, Danny Cobine 

putting out Skidmore, 236-219, 

Richardson beating Brian 

Hare then Zach Taylor, both of 

Santa Fe, 218-214, and 226-226, 

then 60-50 in the tie-breaker, 

respectively. 

Richardson then took a, 

298-239, loss to Bob Dillman to 

finish third, as Dillman, who 

earlier set a new house record 

in qualifying with 1,521/6 

(253.5 average), was looking 

for a rare back-to-back victory. 

Standing in the way was 

Miller-Mackie who had beaten 

in order Miller, 222-181, twotime 

New Mexico Open winner, 

John Young, 199-184, Richardson, 

197-170 and Dillman, 

238-199. 

The former 16-time PWBA 

winner started with four 

strikes in a row while Dillman 

had a double and two spares 

to be behind by 20 pins after 

four frames. Dillman came 

back with a three-bagger of his 

own to lead by 21 after Miller- 

Mackie opened her sixth and 

seventh frames. 

Miller-Mackie got three 

strikes of her own to tie the 

match, then pass Dillman 

whose ball starting hitting too 

much of the head-pin in his 

final four shots, as the final 

score-line 222-208 showed. 

She won $1,000 of the 

$2,380 prize-fund, sponsored 

by Wayne Luco, DDS and 

Tenpins & More. 

“I’ve been watching TV 

sports a lot over summer, trying

people react to pressure situations.

the USBC High School All- 

American Team since 2005-06. 

“Dexter has been a big 

supporter of high school and 

youth bowling, and it is great 

that we can continue our 

relationship with them in the 

coming years,” USBC executive 

director Stu Upson said. 

“Being named to the Dexter 

All-American Team is one of 

the most prestigious honors a 

high school bowler can achieve 

and the recognition of these 

bowlers is because of the 

commitment Dexter has made 

to this program.” 

Each year, five male and 

five female USBC High School 

members are selected for the 

Dexter/USBC High School 

All-American Team. Each 

All-American receives a $1,000

PIN POINTS 

TO PONDER 

By CHUCK PEZZANO 

As I read about the Bridgestone 

Invitational and watched 

it on TV, the golf tournament 

at the Firestone Country club 

in Akron, OH, brought back 

memories of pro bowling’s 

finest hours during the years 

the Firestone Tournament of 

Champions held the spotlight, 

not just in bowling, but as a 

national sports happening. 

The early T of C’s received 

notice on the bottom line of 

bowlers with a $25,000 first 

prize and a $100,000 total prize 

fund that was big enough for 

the spread to include a prize 

check assuring a profit for 

every man skillful enough to 

earn a spot in the field. 

They were treated like pros 

from start to finish with a 

pre-tourney dinner at the Firestone 

Country Club, a pro-am 

studded with celebs from every 

field and unmatched coverage 

in the newspapers, on radio 

and TV. The pictures of the 

players were featured in every 

store, hotel and other venues to 

prove that the city and nearby 

areas were number one fans 

of bowling, for at least a week 

anyhow.

$5 each; Austin Hill, Linda Yarbrough,

Dean. 

A media group of more than 

100 writers and broadcasters 

took in part or all of the action 

and brought publicity to outlets 

that previously didn’t show 

much interest in bowling. 

As the years went by the 

prize money went up, paying 

winners as high as $65,000, 

formerly a good year for any 

player and more than $300,000 

in total prizes, an unheard total 

in the past. And champions 

and high finishers, and even 

those who didn’t do so well, 

were hailed as stars and gained 

publicity and special paying 

assignments from the various 

groups in the industry. 

With the passing of time, 

and changes at Firestone, the 

dream tourney went downhill 

and became difficult to produce, 

though a big comeback 

is slated next year as the PBA 

presents a million dollar package 

with a $250,000 top award. 

But shed a tear and think 

about what might have been if 

some of the top executives who 

control purse strings and also 

like to bowl and take advantage 

of bowling’s great people 

power and people spending 

take a second and third look at 

bowling, not just at the tourney 

of champions but the long list 

of other bowling attractions 

– men, women and children, 

all over the world. 

The Akron golf event had 

an $8.5 million total purse and 

the winner earned $1.4 million. 

The first number is more than 

the entire bowling tour pays 

and the second number would 

put the golfer among bowling’s 

all-time leading money 

winners. 

In that single golf event 14 

players pocketed more than 

$100,000, more than 50 cashed 

for $50,000 or more. Almost 30 

of the bottom finishers had to 

settle for $30,000 or more. 

Don’t get me wrong, bowling 

can’t expect to challenge 

golf in the money field. Most 

golf tournaments draw some 

20,000 a day, paying admission 

fees of more than $50, often 

a lot higher, parking fees and 

food and other purchases that 

make every golf event a multi 

million dollar enterprise. 

We are bowling. We are 

not golf. But we often have 

as much or more to offer. We 

deserve a piece of the action. 

Let golf sponsors and those 

of other sports that we want 

nothing for nothing, but give 

us an opportunity to prove we 

can do well for you, if you will 

give us a little help. 

A seed of support will grow 

into tree that branches the 

world.

J.B. made it. 

He won only $600 dollars, 

but struck it rich on Bonus 

Bowling. 

He had Pug Echols as his 

partner. They won five straight 

times, collecting $500 a pop. 

They finally lost by two pins 

when show officials switched 

from scratch to handicap 

scoring. 

“Pug failed to carry with a 

solid pocket hit,” Roark said. 

“I thought Pug was the best 

bowler around at the time,” 

said J.B. 

J.B. threw it well then and 

now, too, after overcoming 

some physical woes. 

All is extremely well now 

after overcoming a quadruple 

bypass and cancer. 

He is 68. 

He bowls in only one 

league, but practices several 

times a week. 

He probably wouldn’t mind 

if they brought back Bowling

He would be ready.

NEW DICK WEBER PBA 


of discussion, we arrived at 

the PBA Playoffs concept. We 

think it’s going to become one 

of the most exciting and most 

anticipated events on tour.” 

The PBA Playoffs, borrowing 

a chapter from end-of-season 

championship playoff series 

in virtually every other sport, 

will provide a showdown for 

108 of the nation’s top regional 

players along with 72 players 

from the Lumber Liquidators 

PBA Tour. The more points 

each player earns during the 

season in Regional or PBA Tour 

competition will determine 

his/her seeding position at 

Playoffs time. 

The new PBA Playoffs 

format will include six unique 

elimination “pods.” Each 

pod will feature 18 top PBA 

Regional players based upon 

competition points accumulated 

between Oct. 1, and Nov. 30, 

2010. The PBA’s East, South, 

Central, Southwest, Midwest 

and combined West/Northwest 

each will be assigned to a pod. 

Each Regional pod also will 

include 72 PBA Tour players

Do You Remember?


Do You Remember?


Last weekend I went to 

Oklahoma to hang out with 

some friends and family and to 

bowl the SASBA member/guest 

tournament at Holiday Lanes. 

While at my wife’s friend’s 

house I noticed that they had 

installed some hardware flooring 

and it looked fantastic. 

My wife and I had discussed 

putting in wood flooring, but 

with the price of flooring plus 

installation it just wasn’t in our 

budget. However, my inquisitive 

side kicked in and I began 

to ask them all about it and 

how they installed it. 

The light bulb went on and I 

began to think that I too might 

be capable of laying down 

wood flooring. 

Now for those who don’t 

know me, I’m not very handy 

or creative. As a matter of fact, 

I’m barely capable of hammering 

nails into a fence, but for 

some reason my confidence 

was riding high. We researched 

it and determined that if we 

installed it ourselves, then we 

can afford to do it. 

We purchased the flooring 

in Oklahoma and brought it 

back with us. I put on some 

grubby clothes and was ready 

to begin destroying my house. 

I decided to start by taking 

off a few baseboards. After 

slicing two fingers with a 

blade, I decided that I needed 

some additional tools and some 

additional direction. 

My sister-in-law came over 

and told me that I needed to 

pull up the carpet first and 

then pull the carpet tacks. 

While taking out the carpet 

tack strip on one side of the 

hall I forgot about the ones on 

the other side and cut my foot 

open twice. 

Nowhere in the instructional 

videos online does it 

mention a Tetanus shot as a 

tool needed, but I digress. We 

then began to lay the floor and 

determined that we needed to 

cut some of the boards. 

I assumed a jig saw was 

sufficient, but I was wrong. 

At Shenaniganz 

Offutt snares 

678 series 

ROCKWALL — Trey Offutt’s 

solid 216-255-207 = 678 Eazy 

Rollerz series led scoring for 

the week at Shenanignaz. 

Jo Ellen Mitchell, Offutt’s 

leaguemate, paced the ladies 

with a nice 166-190-176 = 532 

set. 

OTHER SCORES 

Carol Dziatlik 223-497. 

After making a couple of 

cuts it looked like a three year 

old cut the board with scissors. 

It was mangled and crooked 

and I decided that I needed a 

miter saw. Yet another trip to 

the tool store and I am starting 

to approach the “should I 

have paid someone to do this” 

question. 

However, after my brother 

saying that he fully expected 

me to call someone to do it, I 

am 100 percent committed to 

installing this floor. 

This weekend will be the 

true test as we hope to get the 

majority of the floor installed. 

Stay tuned for more on this 

developing story. 

I wanted to thank my readers 

for their feedback on last 

week’s article on rituals and 

superstitions. 

One that stuck out for me 

was from Mark Peet who bowls 

at Red Bird. He brought up 

the one I bet many of us have 

done, which is putting your 

hand out over the hand dryer 

even if the hand dryer is broken 

or non-existent. Another 

one he pointed out was wiping 

the ball with a towel even if 

the lane is as dry as the Sahara 

Desert. He also mentioned a 

ritual his team performs, but I 

will keep that to myself so his 

opponents don’t try and tinker 

with it. Who says that the 

media has no conscience? 

This week’s what is in 

Daceman’s DVR is a comedy 

called “She’s out of my League” 

starring Jay Baruchel (Knocked 

Up and Tropic Thunder) and 

Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2). 

The story is about an underdog 

guy who seems to be stuck 

in a dead in job, living with 

his parents, and pathetically 

picked on by just about everyone. 

Until he runs into a “Hard 

10” who is tired of dating the 

studs and decides she wants 

someone simpler. This movie 

has the comedy factor and 

scripting to be one of the cult 

classics like Old School or The 

Hangover, but I don’t remember 

it being a huge movie when in 

the theaters. 

It grossed a little over 49 

million, but I don’t know many 

people who have seen it. That 

makes this a bargain at the Red 

Box as this movie is one of the 

funniest I’ve seen in sometime. 

It is a must rent for people who 

don’t mind a little crudeness 

and want a laugh. I give this 

movie 3.5 out of 4 stars and 

you won’t be disappointed. 

O’Neill captures BWAA Kegel 

Bowler of the Month for August 

Bill O’Neill of Southampton, 

PA, has been named Kegel 

Bowler of the Month by the 

Bowling Writers Association of 

America for September. 

The two-time Collegiate 

Player of the Year won his first 

Professional Bowlers Association 

(PBA) title, the PBA 

Chameleon Championship over 

Ronnie Russell, Indianapolis, 

205-192, and then continued 

his hot hand in the Pan American 

Bowling Confederation 

(PABCON) Championships in 

San Juan, Puerto Rico. Competing 

as a Team USA member 

for the first time, O’Neill took 

home four out of a possible six 

gold medals in Men’s Team, 

Men’s Trios, Men’s All-Events, 

and Men’s Singles. He broke
