Well, the Spares
again! This week
the Rural Rollers,
of us expected to
in their unbeaten
week the Whizz
were favored to take a "game or
two against the Spares . . . well,
you know about that.
The Rural Rollers came closer
than any team so far. Only three
pins were the difference between
a win and a loss Monday night.
The Short Circuits caught the
Spares with their handicap down
but couldn’t quite muster the
necessary scores to win.
With a mixture of good luck
and good bowling,
reign supreme with
They will be hard
from first place.
We thought you might be in
terested in comparing their aver
ages with last year’s, so Rene
Francois dug up the records for
us. The number of games bowled
by each player varies slightly,

rough night, Cal Preszcator
With 574 (255).
MONDAY NIGHT
Biitcliers 7, Applejacks 0
The
tered
night,
1,123,
had one man under 600 (and he
was only 12 under). Har Wolfe
rolled an excellent 704 (253) and
Fred Darling 673 (317). How
ard Holtzman’s 642 (251) and
Chuck Parsons’ 630 (229) stood
out prominently for the losers.
Big Six 4, Pinpoppers 3
The Pinpoppers continued their
losing ways by letting their bit
ter rivals, the Big Six, edge
them 4-3. Scores were 1,150-938,
1,358 - 1,082 and 1,065 - 1,034.
Captain Stan Frayne led the half
dozen with 688 (271) and Bob
Nicol was high for the fading
’Poppers with 639 (295).
Huskers 5, Maroons 2
The Huskers again hit the
column, this time beating
Maroons by a whisker—1,072-
1,048, 1,097-1,113 and 1,071-
1,030. Gord Kirk was best with
561 (256) and Alf Andrus ‘ '
the hapless Maroons with

Keglers 5, Spare Parts 2
The Keglers and the Spare
Parts remained in third and sec
ond places respectively, even
though the Keglers bested the
SPs 1,135-988, 1,294-1,108 and
lost 1,012-1,021. The Keglers
were red-hot, with only one man
not reaching the 600-plus mark.
Bern McLean racked up a 722
(305) and Miller toppled 652
(237). Lloyd Cushman led the
Spare Parts, rolling 592 (209).

The Strikes mastered the

Keglers Better
theAs far as we
Keglers have topped those aver
ages this year. For them, Bob
Mclnnes has 19 9, Jim Miller
202, Roger Guay 200, Pop Wat
son 205, Bern McLean 219, and
Busselle 199.
Rene Francois, the Spares’
mainstay, rolled a single of 370
this week. He won the Jack
Smith Bulova watch for his high
single last year, which makes
him inelegible this year, but,
none the less, it’s in the book.
Moreover, it is scores like that
that have been winning points
for the Spares.
Look Good In Totals
In the total pins department,
too, the Spares are unequalled.
They have a total
15 games.
For comparison we list the
of 17,375 for
other top teams in order of their
total pins.

done exceedingly well, but, as we

■Maybe some bowlers who read
this column will ask: "What

team hasn’t got?” One obvious
answer is: "Thirty^five points!”* * * *
Lost: One Slightly Used
Bowling Technique
Our mention of Ken Hockey's
"new” bowling technique has
aroused the curiosity of a num
ber of fans. Ken was the centre
of interest as he bowled 582 for
the Big Six Monday night. But
most of the onlookers were a
trifle perplexed.
To those poor souls, we'd like
to explain that Ken’s „ "new”
bowling technique was not with
him Monday night. It must have
been sleeping the afternoon away
in a chesterfield ‘at the store,
getting rested up for the battle
against the Pinpoppers. Ken
probably locked up and came to
the alleys without it. Or maybe
it was home in another pair of
pants. We don’t know . . ,
We do know his "old” bowling
technique is not for sale.

District Couple
Married 60 Years
On November 9, 1892,
William Moodie and Mary Agnes
Kydd, both of Usborne Town
ship, were united in marriage by
the late Dr. Fletcher, who for
so many years was the minister
of the Thames Road Presbyter
ian, now United Church. On No
vember’ 9 of this year their
diamond wedding anniversary
was quietly celebrated at the
home of their daughter, Mrs.
Margaret .Fletcher, of town.
Mr. Moodie, now in his eighty
seventh year, was born on the
Orkney Islands, Scotland, and as
an, orphan boy at the age of |16
he left home with the intention
of going to Australia, as the
gold rush was on at that time.
When he arrived at the port
of embarkation he found that he
had not sufficient funds to take
him to Australia and he sailed
for Canada little knowing where
he would land- On his way over
he remembered having posted
letters for ’ ' " ' ''
Duncan at
Landing
practically
his way to
at a hotel,
and dejected,, the hotel-keeper,
Rd, Cathcart, asked if there was
anything wrong. Mr. Moodie
enquired if he knew of a family
in the neighborhood by the name
of .Duncan. "Sandy Duncan, do you“ mean?” asked the hotel
keeper. "Yes, I believe that is
the name” said young Moodie.
"He left here only a short time
ago” said the host. The hotel
keeper ordered the hostler to
hitch up a team of horses and
drive Mr, Moodie to a farm near
Kirkton. There he was united
with his mother’s sister, Mrs.
Duncan, and he found himself
among relatives and friends. To
Mr. Moodie his disappointment
at not going- to Australia and of
coming to Canada and finding
relatives looked
