September 12, <strong>1976</strong>: <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Matthews</strong> VFD<br />

hosts waterball: It waterball time again. The <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>Matthews</strong> Volunteer <strong>Fire</strong> Department is sponsoring its<br />

<strong>1976</strong> Waterball Contest Sunday, September 12, <strong>1976</strong><br />

beginning at 11 a.m. at 4114 Lyndon Way.<br />

Thirty fire departments have been invited to take part<br />

in the friendly <strong>com</strong>petition which tests firefighters<br />

skill with the water hose.<br />

A large metal ball is suspended overhead, sliding on a<br />

cable stretched between opposing teams of firemen.<br />

On signal, each team turns on its hose and tries to<br />

blast the ball over a line on the opposing side.<br />

It’s wet, but it’s fun, and good training for the teams<br />

involved, said <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Matthews</strong> <strong>Fire</strong> Captain Al Ring.<br />

The public is encouraged to <strong>com</strong>e out and root for<br />

their home team, and there is no admission charge.,<br />

Refreshments will be sold.<br />
