Pete Thomas set to meet seniors<br />

By Jim Woodruff<br />

Pete Thomas, a traveling<br />

man if there ever was one, is<br />

enjoying the good life mixing<br />

his bowling and religion.<br />

And the best is coming<br />

soon. More doors will be<br />

opened for Pete. Religion plays<br />

a huge role in his life.<br />

wins 9th Ebonite<br />

SASBA title<br />

Williams wins USBC Masters for<br />

record 47th career PBA title<br />

RENO, NV — Walter Ray<br />

Williams Jr. of Ocala, FL,<br />

won his second United States<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Congress Masters title<br />

Feb. 14, defeating top seed<br />

Chris Barnes of Double Oak,<br />

TX, 290-217, at the National<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Stadium.<br />

<strong>The</strong> victory was Williams’<br />

47th on the Lumber Liquidators<br />

Professional Bowlers Association<br />

Tour, extending his record<br />

for the most in PBA Tour his-<br />

tory, while also moving him up<br />

to a tie for second with eight<br />

career major titles.<br />

“This is just another little<br />

feather, it’s just awesome,” said<br />

Williams, who defeated Barnes,<br />

268-239, to win the January<br />

2004 USBC Masters also at the<br />

National <strong>Bowling</strong> Stadium. “It’s<br />

hard to explain it better than<br />

that. To win any tournament is<br />

awesome, and the bigger ones<br />

are even better.”<br />

Williams is now tied with<br />

Pete Weber and Mike Aulby<br />

with eight career major titles,<br />

but all three players trail USBC<br />

and PBA Hall of Famer Earl<br />

Anthony, who won 10 majors<br />

and 43 total titles.<br />

“I really don’t envision that<br />

I can get to 10, but I’m not giving<br />

up yet,” said Williams, who<br />

turned 50 in 2009. “I’m going<br />

Editorial:<br />

Layoffs at the USBC<br />

By Tony Franklin<br />

Publisher <strong>The</strong> <strong>Bowling</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

Early last week the United<br />

States <strong>Bowling</strong> Congress,<br />

newly moved to Arlington,<br />

and fresh off the grand<br />

opening of the International<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Campus made some<br />

difficult financial decisions.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y laid-off roughly five<br />

percent of their workforce.<br />

“We had to make some<br />

tough decisions in order to<br />

balance our budget,” said<br />

USBC director Stu Upson.<br />

“This included eliminating<br />

some positions and<br />

re-allocating others. <strong>The</strong><br />

move is meant to help build<br />

up Member Services, Association<br />

Development and the<br />

Call Center.”<br />

When asked how this<br />

would affect their strategic<br />

direction, Upson said, “This<br />

requires us to be more<br />

focused and efficient in these<br />

areas and really focus on<br />

building up the departments<br />

that are revenue producers.”<br />

ment in Dallas or around here.<br />

“I would say I come down<br />

for about 25 tournaments a<br />

year,” Pete said. It will be a lot<br />

more July 31 when Thomas<br />

celebrates his 50th birthday<br />

and becomes eligible for many<br />

more senior events.<br />

“I can hardly wait to bowl<br />

in the SASBA tournaments,”<br />

he said. “It will be great being<br />

known as the young guy<br />

PBA LLC Photo<br />

Walter Ray Williams Jr.<br />

Upson added that he<br />

doesn’t expect any other<br />

layoffs in the near future.<br />

It is very clear that no<br />

business is safe in the current<br />

economic climate and<br />

cost-cutting measures will be<br />

taken by everyone in order to<br />

stay afloat.<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> needs the USBC<br />

to be successful and be<br />

relevant in this tumultuous<br />

time for the sport, so hopefully<br />

they are driving in the<br />

right direction.<br />

Multiple sources have<br />

revealed that some of those<br />

impacted by the layoffs<br />

were high profile employees<br />

in their cutting edge<br />

departments.<br />

Steve Kloempken, the<br />

Technical Director for the<br />

USBC was in the group laid<br />

off Feb. 8.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> recent down-sizing<br />

and elimination of key positions<br />

and programs leaves me<br />

very concerned for the future<br />

again.”<br />

Thomas has been making<br />

a nice living out of bowling<br />

for a long time. <strong>Bowling</strong> isn’t<br />

the only job he has ever had,<br />

however. He is a minister.<br />

He works primarily with<br />

young people. He owns a<br />

masters degree in religious<br />

education. Thomas feels that<br />

nothing could be finer than<br />

Th e <strong>Bowling</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

By JIM WOODRUFF<br />

Jim King, SASBA chief,<br />

is winning his battle with<br />

pneumonia. But slowly.<br />

He was hit hard by the illness<br />

in early January and was<br />

hospitalized 11 days.<br />

Jim is back on the job but is<br />

still working on regaining his<br />

strength.<br />

“It is going to take a while,”<br />

said King.<br />

* * *<br />

Linda Chambers, the Dallas<br />

bowler who recently captured<br />

the Texas Senior Queens<br />

tournament, might not have<br />

become such a good bowler if<br />

a back injury had not stopped<br />

her softball career.<br />

She played right field and<br />

second base on one of the<br />

area’s top softball teams. But<br />

she gave up the sport after<br />

undergoing back surgery.<br />

She started bowling with<br />

a 99 average but is now up to<br />

213.<br />

* * *<br />

Isn’t it possible that some<br />

Cowboys might perform better<br />

if they weren’t judged by the<br />

Joneses so quickly. <strong>The</strong>y might<br />

be better if they could relax<br />

more. Just a thought.<br />

* * *<br />

And don’t you think Nolan<br />

Ryan endorsing Kay Bailey<br />

Hutchinson for governor is not<br />

going to set too well with all<br />

Rangers fans?<br />

* * *<br />

Just wondering. Has anybody<br />

seen or heard from Butch<br />

Stallcup or Norma Rittelmeyer<br />

lately?<br />

Or Wes Campbell or Mac<br />

McDowell.<br />

* * *<br />

One of my favorite tournaments,<br />

the Texas State Bluebonnet<br />

Queens will be held at<br />

Wonder Bowl in San Antonio<br />

Feb. 20-21.<br />

* * *<br />

<strong>The</strong> Texas State USBC Open<br />

Championship will be held<br />

April 10 to June 20 at Plano<br />

Super Bowl and USA Bowl<br />

* * *<br />

Jamie Brooks has retired but<br />

will add his touch to some of<br />

the work at Cowtown.<br />

* * *<br />

Isn’t it getting harder<br />

and harder to walk around<br />

a crowded bowling center<br />

without fearing tripping over a<br />

bag. Could be, of course, that<br />

I am getting too dang old, or<br />

something like that.<br />

* * *<br />

It certainly is a boost for<br />

bowling for pro basketball<br />

player Chris Paul to be such a<br />

fan.<br />

Miki Jo Parish<br />

This week’s high woman is<br />

Miki Jo Parish who shot a 792<br />

series at AMF Showplace Lanes<br />

Euless.<br />

Miki Jo is currently attending<br />

classes TCJC with a focus<br />

on early education. For the last<br />

five years she has been the<br />

Ballard’s full-time nanny. She<br />

has been there for Alyssa Ballard<br />

since she was six months<br />

old. She would like to take this<br />

experience and schooling and<br />

work as a director in the day<br />

care field some day.<br />

What is your high series?<br />

This is my high series. My<br />

previous high was 778.<br />

How many 300’s have you<br />

bowled? None. I have shot a 299<br />

game every year since I have<br />

been bowling adult leagues. I<br />

always seem leave the 7 or 10<br />

pin.<br />

What ball did you throw?<br />

Storm Virtual Gravity. I love<br />

that ball. I throw the ball really<br />

hard and it still hooks for me.<br />

Who drills your balls? Brett<br />

Cooper. He knows my game<br />

very well. I don’t have to tell<br />

him anything, he just knows<br />

how to drill the ball for me.<br />

What is your all-time<br />

favorite bowling ball? I can’t say<br />

that I have one. <strong>The</strong> Virtual<br />

Gravity has been my favorite<br />

since I got it.<br />

What is your average in the<br />

Masters league? 208<br />

What is your all-time high<br />

average? 212 at Showplace last<br />

year.<br />

How long have you been<br />

bowling? Since I was three<br />

years old, so 22 years now. My<br />

family all bowls so they got me<br />

started. My aunt Kat Lecroy is<br />

probably the best bowler in our<br />

family, with David Smith being<br />

a close second.<br />

What part of the lane were<br />

you playing when you shot this<br />

series? I was playing up 10 like<br />

I always do.<br />

Who is your favorite pro<br />

bowler? Can it be two so that<br />

I don’t get in trouble? Del<br />

and Carolyn Ballard are my<br />

favorites. Del is so knowledgeable.<br />

He can teach anybody<br />

anything about the game of<br />

bowling. Carolyn is not scared<br />

to compete with men, she is a<br />

fierce competitor. She is a role<br />

model for us young ladies.<br />

Most memorable bowling moment?<br />

Probably the first time<br />

I shot 299 at AMF Showplace<br />

Lanes Euless in Travel League.<br />

It was my first year bowling<br />

adult leagues. I left the 10 pin.<br />

How much do you practice? I<br />

don’t, I just don’t have time for<br />

it. I bowl league Monday and<br />

Thursday and Travel League<br />

every other Sunday. <strong>The</strong>n I go<br />

to school Tuesday and Thursday<br />

nights also.<br />

Women all over the United<br />

States are jumping for joy today<br />

as another year of NFL football<br />

has ended.<br />

This year it was the New<br />

Orleans Saints who became the<br />

World Champions.<br />

Although I wish it were<br />

Dallas you cannot help but feel<br />

good for the Saints organization<br />

and the city. After all that<br />

they have gone through, they<br />

truly deserve this.<br />

As for the rest of you<br />

husbands out there, the<br />

accumulating list of honey do’s<br />

are on the refrigerator so it’s<br />

time to get that toolbox back in<br />

action and get to work because<br />

there is only a couple of more<br />

months before the draft.<br />

As I am writing this, for<br />

the first time in DFW history<br />

we are sitting with about ten<br />

inches of snow outside the<br />

window. I have never seen<br />

more than a couple of inches<br />

here and I have lived here my<br />

whole life. However, the streets<br />

were not frozen so we all had<br />

to go to work and school.<br />

I would also like to take a<br />

moment to speak to those of<br />

you who have never driven<br />

on ice before. First you must<br />

understand that the gas pedal<br />

means go and the brake means<br />

stop, but those are not your<br />

only options.<br />

If you don’t press either of<br />

them, you can do this thing<br />

called coasting. Coasting<br />

allows you to not slide when<br />

trying to keep your distance<br />

between cars.<br />

Also while we are on the<br />

subject of distance between<br />

cars, I would like to let those<br />

aggressive NASCAR lovers<br />

know that not even Tony Stewart<br />

would be foolish enough<br />

to tailgate (aka drafting or<br />

tail grabbing) in near freezing<br />

temperatures. Can’t we all just<br />

be slow and steady so we can<br />

get to our destinations?<br />

Speaking of the snow I<br />

couldn’t believe how much my<br />

dogs enjoyed the snow. I think<br />

Jasmine wants to move to<br />

Colorado because according to<br />

my wife(Nikki) she hates Texas<br />

but maybe wide open spaces<br />

and snow is what she needs.<br />

Typically I let them outside<br />

to do their business and when<br />

it’s cold they come right back<br />

in. However, this morning they<br />

wouldn’t come in for a while.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y actually wanted to stay<br />

outside and I was more than<br />

willing to let them, especially<br />

after Lexi’s latest issue.<br />

Apparently Verizon FIOS<br />

with 100 HD channels is not<br />

enough for young Lexi. As<br />

Nikki and I were fixing our<br />

dinner the channel changed. I<br />

looked at Nikki and asked why<br />

she changed it and she said she<br />

didn’t. About that time I looked<br />

at the TV and it was on a pay<br />

per view channel and I ran<br />

around the couch just in time<br />

to change it so we didn’t get<br />

charged.<br />

Lexi was pawing the remote<br />

and almost cost us $14.99.<br />

However, I think her favorite<br />

movie is “Eight Below” starring<br />

a bunch of huskies in Antarctica.<br />

She likes to snuggle with<br />

the TV when that movie is on.<br />

I have a question for you.<br />

Am I a bad American if I have<br />

not one ounce of interest in<br />

the Olympics? I must admit<br />

part of my irritation is that<br />

skateboarding on snow is an<br />

Olympic sport yet bowling still<br />

isn’t.<br />

How can the number one<br />

participation sport in the world<br />

not be in the Olympics? Also<br />

I believe that my interest was<br />

shattered when they started<br />

letting professionals partake<br />

in the games. I mean these<br />

people make millions of dollars<br />

doing their sport full time. It<br />

takes away from the feel good<br />

story of the person who gave it<br />

all their heart and will never<br />

make a dime off of it in the<br />

real world.<br />

This week’s what’s on<br />

Daceman’s DVR is the television<br />

show “Lost”. For a few<br />

years now I have been watching<br />

“Lost”, as I am sure many<br />

of you have as well.<br />

I really hope that this show<br />

does not reveal your intelligence<br />

level because if it does<br />

then I am a complete idiot. I<br />

am so confused with what is<br />

going on it’s not even funny.<br />

I have rarely ever bailed on a<br />

television show that I enjoyed<br />

that much, but I am pondering<br />

it with this one.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have travelled back<br />

in time and switched around<br />

so much that I can’t keep up.<br />

Currently they seem to be playing<br />

two versions of their lives<br />

simultaneously. One side is if<br />

the plane never crashed and<br />

the other is current time on<br />

the island. Whatever happened<br />

to good ole fashion American<br />

mindless television that I so<br />

enjoy?<br />

Ebonite’s long-time<br />

president/CEO Scheid<br />

announces retirement<br />

HOPKINSVILLE, KY — Bill<br />

Scheid, bowling industry<br />

veteran and leader, will retire<br />

as of April 2010 after nearly 19<br />

years as president of Ebonite<br />

International, announced<br />

Steven Tuttleman, Chairman<br />

of the Board. Randy Schickert,<br />

formerly an executive with<br />

Regal Ware Worldwide, Huffy<br />

Sports Company, and DESA<br />

Indoor/Outdoor Products has<br />

been named Chief Executive<br />

Officer.<br />

“Under Bill’s leadership,<br />

Ebonite has flourished and<br />

maintained a dominant position<br />

in a highly competitive<br />

marketplace,” said Tuttleman.<br />

“We appreciate his innumerable<br />

contributions to the<br />

company and the industry, and<br />

are pleased that he will remain<br />

involved as a Director of the<br />

company.<br />

“We feel strongly that<br />

Ebonite is well positioned for<br />

the future,” he added.<br />

“Throughout our search for<br />

Bill’s successor, we looked for<br />

an executive who could build<br />

on our past successes, and had<br />

a broad range of experiences<br />

that encompassed product<br />

development, manufacturing,<br />

marketing and domestic and<br />

international sales. Randy<br />

really is a perfect fit.”<br />

forward to working closely<br />

BWAA names Mohr,<br />

Romeo as Senior<br />

Bowlers of Year<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Writers Association<br />

of America (BWAA) President<br />

Jackie Wyckoff announced that<br />

Ron Mohr, Eagle River, AK,<br />

and Robin Romeo, Newhall,<br />

CA, have been elected as 2009<br />

BWAA Senior Bowlers of the<br />

Year.<br />

Mohr, 53, captured three<br />

PBA Senior titles and had the<br />

high average for the season<br />

with 223.14. He cashed in<br />

all 12 PBA Senior events and<br />

was second in earnings, $250<br />

behind Wayne Webb, Sacramento,<br />

CA.<br />

Mohr was a runaway<br />

winner with 361 votes in the<br />

balloting. Webb was runner-up<br />

with 187. Also receiving votes<br />

were Mark Williams, Beaumont,<br />

TX, (62), Dale Traber,<br />

Cedarburg, WI, (50), and Harry<br />

Sullins, Chesterfield Twp, MI.<br />

(15).<br />

Robin Romeo, 52, easily<br />

won the female Senior Bowler<br />

of the Year honors with her<br />

dazzling performance in the<br />

USBC Women’s Championships<br />

in Reno. Romeo won All-Events<br />

with a near-record 2172 which<br />

included an 805 in team event.<br />

She also finished fourth in<br />

doubles. She was 33rd in the<br />

regular USBC Queens and was<br />

second in the Golden Ladies,<br />

losing in the final match to her<br />

former tour roommate, Jeanne<br />

Naccarato, Tacoma, WA.<br />

“I thought it was pretty neat<br />

when I found out I was on<br />

the ballot,” said Romeo, “and<br />

to win is exciting to me. <strong>The</strong><br />

competition is still strong and<br />

to be able to perform after 50 is<br />

humbling to me.”<br />

Romeo received a similar<br />

number of votes to Mohr as<br />

Senior Bowler of the Year<br />

with a total of 330. Naccarato<br />

garnered 105 votes, followed<br />

closely by Dana Miller-Mackie,<br />

Albuquerque, NM, with 101.<br />

lso receiving votes were Senior<br />

Queens winner Janine Primrose,<br />

Gardner, NV (42) and<br />

Lucy Sandelin, Tampa, FL. (7).<br />

Candidates for BWAA Senior<br />

Bowler of the Year must have<br />

passed their 50th birthday<br />

by January 1 of the year of<br />

competition.<br />

Presentation of awards to<br />

Mohr and Romeo will be made<br />

at national events in the near<br />

future.<br />

filling your life with bowling<br />

and the ministry to work your<br />

way through life.<br />

Thomas is not a member of<br />

a staff right now, but teaches<br />

Sunday school.<br />

He was a PBA player for<br />

almost three years in the<br />

mid-80s.<br />

“Like now,” he said, “the<br />

money was down. You needed<br />

sponsors.”<br />

His sponsors were not as<br />

strong as he thought and it did<br />

not work out.<br />

<strong>The</strong> amateur route was<br />

better for him.<br />

In one three-week period he<br />

cleared $60,000.<br />

On one strike in a shootout<br />

in Vegas, he won $31,000. And<br />

he won a consolation event<br />

good for another $30,000.<br />

Thomas hopes to have some<br />

more huge paydays coming up<br />

now that he is a senior.<br />

He is ready, willing and<br />

very able.<br />

PIN POINTS<br />

TO PONDER<br />

By CHUCK PEZZANO<br />

Idle bowling thoughts.<br />

…That next year you’re<br />

always talking about? Don’t<br />

look but it’s here.<br />

…Golf can be an aggravating<br />

sport, but most pro bowlers<br />

play golf to relax from bowling,<br />

which also can be an aggravating<br />

game.<br />

…Do Bahrain, Brunei,<br />

Cyprus, Jersey, Kuwait, Malta,<br />

Mauritus, Myanmar, Yemen<br />

and Wales ring a bell? <strong>The</strong>y<br />

are among the more than 120<br />

country bowling federations<br />

that regularly bowl in FIQ and<br />

other international bowling<br />

competitions.<br />

…Never thought I’d see the<br />

day when bowling balls came<br />

in more different colors than<br />

Easter eggs.<br />

…<strong>The</strong> charter members of<br />

the ABC Hall of Fame were<br />

Joe Bodis, Adolph Carlson,<br />

Charley Daw, Peter Howley,<br />

John Koster, Herb Lange, Mort<br />

Lindsey, Hank Marino, Jimmy<br />

Smith, Harry Steers and Gil<br />

Zunker.<br />

…Missing from the bowling<br />

scene in regular league play is<br />

the once large number of artistic<br />

and zany bowling shirts.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se days many leagues have<br />

more teams without bowling<br />

shirts than with and sadly,<br />

some leagues have more bowlers<br />

wearing hats than wearing<br />

bowling shirts.<br />

…In too many cases the instructor<br />

is the person who had<br />

bowled once or twice before.<br />

…We should always heed<br />

the long ago words of former<br />

American Junior <strong>Bowling</strong><br />

Congress manager Chuck Hall,<br />

who said, “We need to renew<br />

our enthusiasm for introducing<br />

youngsters to bowling and<br />

project the attitude that bowling<br />

is the greatest game in the<br />

world.” Amen.<br />

…Want to learn some interesting<br />

and revealing facts? Just<br />

read the rule book – or the fine<br />

print on a bowling tournament<br />

entry blank.<br />

…<strong>The</strong> average American has<br />

a vocabulary of about 10,000<br />

words. Doctors, lawyers and<br />

journalists range from 15,000<br />

to 20,000 words. Bowlers, in<br />

their careers, use 25,000 words<br />

just to describe how they<br />

missed an easy spare.<br />

…If you see a bowler still<br />

cleaning his bowling ball after<br />

every shot, don’t ask why,<br />

just ask what else he got for<br />

Christmas.<br />

…If another bowler does<br />

it, you call it a mistake or an<br />

error. If you do it, it is called<br />

practical experimentation that<br />

failed.<br />

…My nomination for the<br />

best communicator in the<br />

world is the bowling instructor<br />

who can give bowling advice<br />

and lessons without taking his<br />

hands out of his pocket.<br />

…Youngsters in a junior<br />

bowling league held an election<br />

and the adults were amazed<br />

when a four-year-old was elected<br />

president. An older member<br />

of the group explained, “He<br />

couldn’t be secretary because<br />

he can’t write, or treasurer<br />

because he can’t count that<br />

well, and he would never do as<br />

Eagles Sweep Shoemaker<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ellison Eagles took out<br />

their frustration from their loss<br />

last week to Cove by shutting<br />

out the Shoemaker Grey Wolves<br />

17-0 Feb. 9 to lead the Eagles.<br />

In the team games, Ellison averaged<br />

213 for the sweep. <strong>The</strong><br />

Grey Wolves, led by Michael<br />

Dunem and Jared Bourgeois,<br />

bowled well, but could not<br />

keep up with the high-flying<br />

Eagles. Ellison raised their<br />

district record to 5-3 and sealed<br />

a spot in the regional tournament.<br />

Shoemaker fell to 2-6.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lady Eagles raised<br />

their record to 7-1 with a<br />

13-4 victory over the Lady<br />

Grey Wolves. Devin Revels led<br />

Ellison with a 216 average, but<br />

Brittany Evans and Cindy Gill<br />

were also over 190. Jerica Horn<br />

fired a 207, her first-ever 200<br />

game. <strong>The</strong> Lady Eagles led 5-2<br />

after match play, then put the<br />

match away by averaging 187<br />

in the team games. Ayonna<br />

of our sport. If you were at the<br />

Grand Opening, you saw that<br />

Equipment Specifications is all<br />

about the science of bowling<br />

and our sport’s integrity. <strong>The</strong><br />

remaining positions are filled<br />

with great and talented people,<br />

trust me. <strong>The</strong>y have done and<br />

will continue to do a good job.<br />

But my concerns reside in that<br />

just this past October we had<br />

11 people in the department.<br />

Now we have seven. It’s just<br />

math,” Kloempken said.<br />

As a USBC member, that<br />

is the hardest part to take.<br />

During the USBC Open House<br />

I was very excited by what I<br />

saw in the Training Center and<br />

the direction their coaching<br />

department was headed. I was<br />

anxious to see the vision of<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong>’s governing body, and<br />

see ways that they could help<br />

redefine the sport.<br />

Local PBA Hall of Famer Del<br />

Ballard who was the International<br />

Relations Coaching<br />

Specialist also had his job at<br />

the USBC eliminated last week.<br />

“I am deeply saddened by<br />

the decrease in USBC memberships<br />

from a high of seven million<br />

to the current 2.1 million<br />

members. Obviously I was a<br />

casualty of that decrease. I am<br />

more concerned about the loss<br />

of my job, but overall it is of<br />

utmost importance to solve the<br />

problem with the decreasing<br />

membership,” Ballard said.<br />

Even though Steve and<br />

Del’s jobs were impacted, their<br />

passion for the sport of bowling<br />

continues to shine through.<br />

I now hope that the USBC<br />

will still have focus on those<br />

areas. <strong>The</strong> sport of bowling<br />

requires it.

SPOTLIGHT<br />

Continued from Page 13<br />

Do you have anyone who<br />

coach’s you? Del is the only<br />

person that has ever coached<br />

me.<br />

Other bowling thoughts? <strong>The</strong><br />

last game I had the front eight<br />

but threw the ball bad in the<br />

ninth to miss my shot at 800. I<br />

shot 255 the last game. I wasn’t<br />

thinking about shooting 800.<br />

<strong>The</strong> more I think about things<br />

the worse I will bowl, so I just<br />

tried to get up there and make<br />

good shots.<br />

Miki Jo’s tip of the week: My<br />

tip is to not over think it. It<br />

seems to me that when you do<br />

that you will end up putting<br />

to much pressure on yourself<br />

which leads to bad shots.<br />

Diane James<br />

We were able to get with<br />

Diane James from two week’s<br />

ago honor roll. Diane bowled a<br />

268-226-267 for a 761 series at<br />

Cityview Lanes.<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> has been a family<br />

affair for Diane. She grew up<br />

watching her mother, Sheryll<br />

Colline, bowling at AMF Irving<br />

Lanes, serving as president<br />

of the Irving Association and<br />

helping Jeannie Hulsey with<br />

the Quaker State Tournament.<br />

Euless.<br />

What is your high series?<br />

783.<br />

How many 300’s have you<br />

bowled? One.<br />

What ball did you throw? I<br />

threw the High Road – Storm.<br />

Who drills your balls? Tom<br />

Wicker has drilled my equipment<br />

for the last 15 years.<br />

What is your all-time favorite<br />

bowling ball? <strong>The</strong> Hammer<br />

Black Widow.<br />

What is your average in this<br />

league? 200.<br />

What is your all-time high<br />

average? 212.<br />

How long have you been<br />

bowling? I hate to say it, over<br />

40 years. My mother got me<br />

bowling at seven years old at<br />

AMF Irving Lanes.<br />

What part of the lane were<br />

you playing when you shot this<br />

series? I was throwing over 8-9<br />

and fading to 5, just a smooth<br />

angle. Cityview decided to put<br />

out the Red pattern for the first<br />

time and I guess it worked<br />

really well for me.<br />

Who is your favorite pro<br />

bowler? Norm Duke – he is<br />

versatile, he can do anything.<br />

I worked with Susie Minshew<br />

at a seminar and I got to know<br />

him. He is a nice, classy guy.<br />

I shot 300 and together we<br />

shot 804 scratch and broke the<br />

women’s trio record.<br />

How much do you practice? I<br />

really don’t get to practice very<br />

much because I work 12 hour<br />

days. I am a supervisor in the<br />

welfare dept for the State of<br />

Texas and work has been really<br />

hectic the last few years. I have<br />

had to cut down on the number<br />

of leagues I bowl.<br />

Do you have anyone who<br />

coach’s you? I have been with<br />

Mark Baumann for over 15<br />

years. He used to drill balls for<br />

Wicker, so he helps me with<br />

my game. Mark can tell me<br />

exactly what I’m doing wrong.<br />

Other bowling thoughts?<br />

How awesome that Kelly Kulick<br />

won. That just shows it’s<br />

anyone’s sport, it’s who throws<br />

the ball the best. Good for her.<br />

Diane’s tip of the week: Go<br />

back to the basics. Watch your<br />

ball go over your mark before<br />

you look up. I try to help my<br />

daughter Katie and helping her<br />

has helped me.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> quickest<br />

and best way to<br />

reach people in<br />

bowling–”<br />

Kelly Kulick stands<br />

alone when it comes to<br />

beating male champions<br />

I wasn’t amazed at the amount<br />

of publicity that Kelly Kulick<br />

received after winning the prestigious<br />

Tournament of Champions<br />

Jan. 24 in Las Vegas.<br />

Over the years, women who<br />

beat pro male rivals in any sort of<br />

sporting event have been glamorized,<br />

sometimes it is deserved and<br />

sometimes it isn’t.<br />

I think Kelly Kulick’s amazing<br />

feat is the greatest female victory<br />

over male rivals in any sporting<br />

event and I will attempt to prove<br />

it by stating facts about Billie Jean<br />

King, Danica Patrick and Julie<br />

Krone.<br />

BILLIE JEAN KING: She was<br />

a superb tennis player but she<br />

is best known for beating Bobby<br />

Riggs in a national TV match in<br />

the Astrodome back in the early<br />

1970s.<br />

Billie Jean was in her prime,<br />

Bobby Riggs was over-the-hill but<br />

was a great showman. She didn’t<br />

beat one of the super stars at the<br />

time, she beat a super star of a<br />

previous era.<br />

By contrast, Kelly Kulick not<br />

only beat but annihilated the man<br />

many consider the best bowler<br />

on the PBA tour for the past fi ve<br />

years – Chris Barnes – by a 265-<br />

195 score.<br />

DANICA PATRICK: Her only victory<br />

against male auto race drivers<br />

gained international attention<br />

because it came in a “good ole<br />

boys” sport and it never had been<br />

accomplished before.<br />

She didn’t achieve the victory<br />

alone. She had a good car and a<br />

good pit crew and good communications<br />

system during the race<br />

in Japan.<br />

JULIA KRONE: She is not the<br />

fi rst woman jockey to beat male<br />

rivals, but she is the best woman<br />

jockey in my opinion as a former<br />

horse race writer. She rode in the<br />

Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup<br />

At Strikz<br />

Zehnder<br />

scripts 691<br />

FRISCO — Bill Zehnder won<br />

the battle for top billing with<br />

outstanding 279-198-214 = 691<br />

numbers in JC Penney Coed<br />

league play.<br />

Denise Alexander, from the<br />

Lousy Bowlerz group, fronted<br />

the ladies with a tidy 209-175-179<br />

= 563 set.<br />

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, February 18, 2010 | Page 15<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Feats<br />

By Dick Evans<br />

and won millions and millions of<br />

dollars for horse owners.<br />

But as a trainer once told me,<br />

the horse wins the race but needs<br />

the help of skillful a jockey who<br />

knows how to control the tempo<br />

of the race based on the information<br />

given them by the men/women<br />

who train the thoroughbreds.<br />

By contrast, Kelly Kulick was<br />

alone on the lanes and had to be<br />

both smart and decisive with every<br />

delivery for 50 games spread over<br />

four days.<br />

Let’s compare formats:<br />

TENNIS: Women players are<br />

limited to three set matches so<br />

they are on the court for approximately<br />

150 minutes, tops in most<br />

cases. Even to win one of the<br />

major titles the player only has to<br />

win seven matches spread over<br />

two weeks.<br />

AUTO RACING: In most cases,<br />

drivers (male and female) are behind<br />

the wheel of a car for four to<br />

fi ve hours. This does not include<br />

24 hour races where maybe two<br />

or three drivers will take turns<br />

behind the wheel.<br />

HORSE RACING: Most races<br />

take from a little more than a<br />

minute to a little over two minutes<br />

to win.<br />

BOWLING: In a major tournament<br />

like the Tournament<br />

of Champions it will require a<br />

bowler to roll a 15/16 pound<br />

bowling ball approximately 720<br />

times during the regulation 48game<br />

tournament.<br />

That means working split shifts<br />

three days in a row – bowling<br />

eight games (which generally take<br />

four hours) in the morning and<br />

eight games at night each day. Before<br />

each shift most bowlers will<br />

roll an additional 20 balls during<br />

the practice session.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n to win the title you must<br />

win at least two games on TV.<br />

Now lets compare fi elds:<br />

TENNIS: A major tennis tournament<br />

will draw all the healthy<br />

elite players in the world plus<br />

a few local qualifi ers needed to<br />

bring the fi eld to 132.<br />

AUTO RACING: Fewer than 50<br />

cars will start in most races but<br />

all the starters must survive time<br />

trials to decide the starting order<br />

of the cars.<br />

HORSE RACING: Most races<br />

draw 12 or fewer starters but in<br />

the Kentucky Derby more than 20<br />

talented colts generally start.<br />

BOWLING: A few tournaments<br />

draw more than 450 contestants,<br />

but the Tournament of Champions<br />

drew 62 champions – all<br />

male champions except for Kelly<br />

Kulick.<br />

That meant she had to fi nish<br />

in the top 24 after the 24-game<br />

qualifying round and then in the<br />

top four after 24 match games<br />

where each victory was worth 30<br />

bonus pins.<br />

She won 14 games, lost nine<br />

and tied one while bowling<br />

against male legends like Pete<br />

Weber, Walter Ray Williams, Parker<br />

Bohn and Chris Barnes to name<br />

a few.<br />

She qualifi ed second Friday<br />

night, which earned her one of the<br />

four spots on the national ESPN<br />

telecast Sunday afternoon.<br />

<strong>The</strong> word spread Saturday that<br />

Kelly had become only the second<br />

woman to make a telecast in the<br />

51-year history of the PBA and her<br />

presence and the fact the PBA was<br />

not up against the National Foot-<br />

Can an average Joe beat<br />

a PBA pro on TV?<br />

At the age of 7, well before<br />

the age of being able to handle<br />

a big bowling ball, I cut my<br />

head falling against a door in a<br />

bowling “alley” in Fort Worth<br />

that required stitches. I was<br />

playing with my friends.<br />

At this point in my<br />

seven-year-old life, I didn’t like<br />

bowling very much. Mom and<br />

dad brought me there once or<br />

twice a week, but it was pretty<br />

boring, I was too big to be in<br />

the “day care” facility maintained<br />

by the bowling center.<br />

When not forced to sit in the<br />

bowling pit, I was left to find<br />

amusement on my own, well<br />

before the age of any modern<br />

electronics that would set a<br />

seven-year-old free.<br />

In 1959, my family moved to<br />

Hurst, only a few blocks from<br />

another bowling “alley” named<br />

Hurst Bowl.<br />

In an age before video<br />

games, an Internet, or color<br />

televisions, I became “hooked”<br />

on bowling. <strong>The</strong>re was pinball<br />

and shuffle board “bowling”<br />

with pins that popped up<br />

with every puck thrown, but<br />

nothing could compare to the<br />

physical effort and adrenaline<br />

rush of trying to knock all<br />

ten down with two big, heavy<br />

balls.<br />

I went to work there at 14,<br />

I think. I was a porter for a<br />

while. <strong>The</strong>n I became a “pin<br />

chaser”, a junior mechanic behind<br />

the automatic pinsetters,<br />

the electric powered revolution<br />

that had changed the face of<br />

American Ten Pins. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

were the Brunswick “A’s” and<br />

I was responsible for cleaning<br />

the ball return wheels, changing<br />

filters and responding to<br />

breakdowns.<br />

To prepare the wooden<br />

bowling lanes, I was instructed<br />

Max Gross<br />

to first drag the large wick for<br />

the entire 60 feet from foul line<br />

to pin deck and back to clean<br />

the lanes. <strong>The</strong>n spray the oil on<br />

each lane with a big “bug can”,<br />

then perform a final drag of the<br />

four foot wide wick to spread<br />

the oil.<br />

As a perk, I got to bowl for<br />

10 cents a game.<br />

I soon got fitted with an<br />

AMF “Dick Weber 5 Star”<br />

drilled by Otis Pillow and<br />

received lessons from a woman<br />

professional whose name I lost<br />

long ago.<br />

Looking back on it now, the<br />

lessons were superb, she taught<br />

me bowling fundamentals<br />

that I’ve used to this day. She<br />

taught me how to adjust my<br />

spot on each lane, a premium<br />

skill in those days before synthetic<br />

lanes and lane machines.<br />

I joined an American Junior<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Congress league that<br />

bowled at 10 a.m. on Saturday<br />

mornings at Hurst Bowl.<br />

Every Saturday morning<br />

was a full house there. Saturday<br />

afternoons were spent in<br />

front of the television watching<br />

the Professional Bowlers Tour.<br />

In the early days, I so admired<br />

THIS SPACE<br />

FOR RENT<br />

the long swings of Dave Davis<br />

and Gary Dickinson, the great<br />

follow through of Larry Laub<br />

and Jim Stefanich, the power of<br />

Mark Roth and his duels with<br />

Marshall Holman, and the cool<br />

handed Earl Anthony. I lusted<br />

for an orange Ebonite ball.<br />

Time and age have blurred<br />

some of those early days, but I<br />

remember bowling in a travel<br />

league in Fort Worth, in the<br />

ABC Tournament in Oklahoma<br />

City, and in the Texas State<br />

tournament in Corpus Christi.<br />

I also bowled in the Pro-Am for<br />

the 1978 Quaker State and took<br />

home a Columbia White Dot.<br />

At one point, I lived in<br />

Amarillo and bowled in a<br />

league at Western Bowl, but in<br />

1982 took a job in Dallas that<br />

required extensive travel and<br />

my bowling came to an abrupt<br />

end.<br />

I went to a center every<br />

once in a while for fun, but my<br />

skills had dulled and I found<br />

it frustrating because I knew I<br />

was a better bowler than that.<br />

My travel days ended in<br />

2001, and one day while rummaging<br />

around in my garage, I<br />

encountered my bag and shoes,<br />

and the White Dot was in fine<br />

shape.<br />

I threw it in the car and<br />

took off for Don Carter West.<br />

That day, I rediscovered one<br />

of my first loves, knocking<br />

down pins with a big heavy<br />

ball, but now the ball wasn’t so<br />

heavy any more and the lanes<br />

seemed to steer the ball into<br />

the pocket. I was back.<br />

It wasn’t long before I had a<br />

new resin ball and some new<br />

Dynothane shoes, and after<br />

reading up a little, I decided<br />

that Sport <strong>Bowling</strong> was for<br />

me. I figured it gave me a little<br />

of what we bowled on in the<br />

70’s, a little more challenge<br />

than common league lane<br />

conditions. After all, I wasn’t<br />

there for my ego of carrying a<br />

big average; I was there for the<br />

challenge of the sport.<br />

I think I carried a 167<br />

average that first season, but<br />

wasn’t pleased with my ability<br />

to score, so I sought out a new<br />

coach and found USBC Gold<br />

coach Susie Minshew.<br />

She was fine with my<br />

fundamentals, convinced me<br />

to ditch the “Wristmaster”<br />

thingy I wore to keep my<br />

wrist straight, to have my ball<br />

redrilled for a better fit, and to<br />

move my hand more under the<br />

ball for a better roll.<br />

She made me understand<br />

the concept of “axis tilt”. Her<br />

lessons changed my game so<br />

that with a bit of practice, I<br />

was competitive again in this<br />

new era of bowling.<br />

I’ve been bowling in the<br />

Sport <strong>Bowling</strong> league since<br />

2002 and moved on to the<br />

challenge of the PBA Experience<br />

when it was announced a<br />

couple of years ago.<br />

I joined SASBA and have<br />

been bowling in some of their<br />

tournaments as well as the<br />

Texas USBC Senior Masters.<br />

My best finish to date was at<br />

the 2009 SASBA Firecracker,<br />

after 16 games of qualifying,<br />

I missed the cut to match play<br />

by five pins.<br />

entry into the PBA Experience<br />

Showdown, a special tournament<br />

to be held in Arlington in<br />

April that features the question<br />

“Can an average Joe beat a PBA<br />

pro on TV?”.<br />

Eighteen names were<br />

randomly selected from this<br />

national pool and were announced<br />

during the USBC<br />

Masters television broadcast.<br />

A web poll will be conducted<br />

at www.Bowl.com for those<br />

most deserving a berth into a<br />

final six-contestant field.<br />

In April, these six will<br />

go to the USBC International<br />

Training and Research Center<br />

in Arlington for a six-game<br />

qualifier, to bowl one game on<br />

each of the five PBA “animal”<br />

patterns and one game on<br />

a championship pattern to<br />

determine a final television<br />

contestant.<br />

BOWLING FEATS<br />

Continued from Page 15<br />

ball League for the fi rst time this<br />

season resulted in a strong 1.52<br />

rating (1.7 million viewers).<br />

On Monday morning, Kelly<br />

Kulick and bowling got great exposure<br />

despite the fact that the<br />

two NFL games together were<br />

attracting more than 100 million<br />

viewers and front page newspaper<br />

coverage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> $40,000 championship<br />

check she won is nothing compared<br />

to the two-year PBA tour<br />

exemption she earned by winning<br />

the Tournament of Champions.<br />

She said she was on a “mission”<br />

and in case you missed it she used<br />

an Ebonite Mission ball throughout<br />

the tournament, a rarity in a<br />

long format event.<br />

This will be the second time<br />

Kelly became the only woman to<br />

earn a tour berth for a year. She<br />

did it in 2006 but had limited success<br />

in the 20 tournaments.<br />

For this fantastic one-time win<br />

over male bowlers to have any real<br />

lasting impact for Kelly and the<br />

PBA, she must become a consistent<br />

fi nalist.<br />

Even the elite male bowlers<br />

always admit that in a one-game<br />

match anybody can win because<br />

luck can become the deciding<br />

factor.<br />

Kelly Kulick won the Tournament<br />

of Champions title in a grueling<br />

50-game marathon.<br />

In my opinion it is the greatest<br />

victory achievement by a female<br />

athlete when going up against<br />

male rivals in any sport.<br />

Kelly said she won the championship<br />

match because she was<br />

bowling against the pins and not<br />

Chris Barnes and as one woman<br />

bowler once said: “<strong>The</strong> pins don’t<br />

know or care whether a man or<br />

woman is throwing the ball.”<br />

But the American public did.<br />

WILLIAMS WINS USBC<br />

Continued from Page 1<br />

as good as I can, and the year<br />

that I’m no longer exempt out<br />

here, that’s when I will have<br />

had enough.”<br />

In the title match against<br />

Barnes, Williams got off to<br />

a shaky start, going high on<br />

his first shot, breaking up a<br />

split and leaving a 7 pin. From<br />

there, he was perfect, finishing<br />

with 11 consecutive strikes<br />

to take home the $50,000<br />

prize and two-year PBA Tour<br />

exemption.<br />

Williams said the turning<br />

point in the match was when<br />

Barnes left a 10 pin in the<br />

fourth frame, but he managed<br />

to carry a similar shot in the<br />

fifth frame.<br />

“Chris left that weak 10 pin<br />

after a scout came over and<br />

touched it but didn’t knock it<br />

over, and then I step up and<br />

leave a 10 pin but the scout<br />

comes over and gets it,” Williams<br />

said. “That helped me get<br />

a little more comfortable, and<br />

from that point, every one of<br />

my strikes was high flush.”<br />

Looking back on the loss,<br />

Barnes said he thought he<br />

threw the ball well, but it was<br />

the way the lanes broke down<br />

in practice that had a major<br />

impact.<br />

“I lost this one in the<br />

practice session,” said Barnes,<br />

who finished second in the<br />

season’s second major, losing<br />

to Kelly Kulick, 265-195, in the<br />

PBA Tournament of Champions<br />

three weeks ago. “He played<br />

further right than I anticipated.<br />

When I broke them down, it<br />

made the lanes pretty good<br />

for me, but it had no affect on<br />

him.”<br />

When Williams and Barnes<br />

met for the Masters title in<br />

2004, the scenario set up the<br />

same way. Barnes was the top<br />

seed, while Williams was No.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> last two Masters here<br />

in Reno, I’ve gone undefeated<br />

in match play, I haven’t lost a<br />

three-game match, yet I haven’t<br />

won either tournament,” said<br />

Barnes, who made it through<br />

the double-elimination bracket<br />

unscathed in both events. “TV<br />

is one of the best things the<br />

sport has going for it, but it is<br />

probably the worst thing I have<br />

going for me personally.”<br />

To reach the championship<br />

match, Williams defeated<br />

No. 3 seed Ryan Ciminelli of<br />

Buffalo, NY, 258-224. Ciminelli<br />

advanced with a 246-229<br />

victory over fourth seed Mike<br />

Scroggins of Amarillo, in the<br />

opening match.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 2010 USBC Masters<br />

featured a field of 267 of the<br />

top professional and amateur<br />

bowlers in the world, competing<br />

for an overall prize fund of<br />

$255,000.<br />

Final standings: Williams,<br />

$50,000; Barnes, $25,000;<br />

Ciminelli, $15,000; Scroggins,<br />

$10,000.<br />

USBC Board approves<br />

bumper bowling awards,<br />

high school memberships<br />

Special achievement awards<br />

for youth competing in bumper<br />

bowling leagues and a new<br />

membership product for high<br />

school bowlers were recently<br />

approved by the United States<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Congress Board of<br />

Directors.<br />

Bumper bowling league<br />

competitors rolling 50, 75<br />

and 100 games and/or 100,<br />

150, 200, 250 and 300 series<br />

are immediately eligible to<br />

earn Bowlopolis emblems in<br />

those categories. <strong>The</strong>se awards<br />

can be earned regardless of<br />

the bowler’s bumper league<br />

average and will continue to be<br />

earned on the same progressive<br />

merit basis.<br />

“Since USBC does not<br />

recognize bumper league averages,<br />

our youngest members<br />

were not eligible to earn youth<br />

awards,” said USBC director of<br />

Youth Development Brian Graham.<br />

“This meant the only way<br />

they could obtain an award<br />

was through our purchasable<br />

awards program.<br />

“To address this disparity<br />

and provide a consistent youth<br />

awards benefit to our youngest<br />

members, we proposed<br />

to extend the eligibility for<br />

the Bowlopolis-themed youth<br />

awards to participants in<br />

certified bumper bowling<br />

programs without the average<br />

requirement.”<br />

interscholastic schedule. <strong>The</strong><br />

cost for the new High School<br />

school teams do not bowl in<br />

USBC leagues so this gives<br />

them a way to become connected<br />

School Manager Breanne Eoff.<br />

“This membership will allow<br />

acceptance of all games bowled<br />

by that individual during the<br />

current season in recognized<br />
