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 />
