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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

a couple of times last fall<br />
to the USBC as the weekly<br />
league high series bowler for<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 />
<strong>The</strong> final contestant will<br />
bowl against the five winners<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 />

cost for the new High School<br />

“This membership will allow<br />
acceptance of all games bowled<br />
by that individual during the<br />
