SQUIRE Store Closed All Day Monday, October 19 Open Again For Business Tuesday, October 20 I fW NEW SCHEDULES WERE PRINTED last week, replacing those distributed a couple of weeks ago. The Keglers and Whizz Bangs traded places in their respective divisions, making new schedules more of a personal foible rather than an absolute necessity. You’d never know it to read this column but we prefer doing things with­ out mistakes. The Friday night teams should now use a yellow schedule, the Monday night teams a green one. ***** WE WERE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR of the eight-man team rule which came into effect this year. We thought it would eliminate the necessity of teams bowling short-handed. It doesn’t, it seems. Of course, it is early in the season, but there have been several instances of teams bowling with five men and, in one case, four. It Is in the interest of every team and every bowler to field a full team, especially with cups and playoff spots at stake this year more than ever before. Sure, you can say “We won’t win the cup anyway—we just bowl for the fun of it.” Well, so do we all— and some get a lot of fun out of winning the Kist Cup or the Labatt Trophy. So remembejr that when you “give away” points by bowling short-handed . . . Try to get your team out in force! ***** WERE IN THE CLOTHING BUSINESS we’d be strongly to get a line on the number of teams desiring bowling shirts, give them a reasonable offer on quantity orders, and make a pile of dough. Most of the teams in the league do not have a team shirt. The ones'that do have them, you’ll note, include some of the most interested bowlers in the league. We understand the Big Six have new bowling shirts on order. They had to get them. Last year the half dozen lost their shirts to the Pinpoppers so many times the garments would not stand the wear and tear of another year. This year, however, the Big Six did beat their them, but rivals on “handicap night”. They might get shirts to fit hats—never! ***** ___ COMMENT: Len Dilkes, who bowled for the Short Cir­ cuits last year, is bowling for the Long Shots this year. It’s our j guess that Len is AC and the Short Circuits are DC. Or maybe he ; prefers long shots to short circuits ... 1 Comradeship is One of the finest features of Army life. Ask any soldier!
