Hf fimtiiif Hilf tiling IS “DAVE’S" IE COMMENTS Our crystal gazing was correct last week when we picked the Spares, Spare Parts, Butchers and Applejacks to play in the finals for the Labatt Trophy. We were, however, a little hazy on the order, as you will note. This week the crystal ball in­ dicates that a stranger may appear on the scene. The Big Six have an outside chance of tying for fourth place if they take seven points from the Windmills next Tuesday night (7 o’clock). In that event a match with the Spare Parts will be held Wednes­ day or Thursday night to decide who will go into the Labatt Tro­ phy finals. The Pittsburg Paints group will finish early next week and the top spots are still very much in contention. This week Chub Whiting was added to the Grease Monkeys but, even with Chub in the lineup, they mustered only four men—to the great satisfaction of the Keg­ lers. Laurels Department Team of the Week; Grand Bend, with 3,198 for five men, without handicap. Bowler of the Week; Lawrence Mason (Grand Bend) with 796 (298). Capsule Comment The Big Six, who have had their wires crossed of late, are now keeping their fingers crossed. Sports —Continued from Page 3 Boys’ Bowling Teams Spare Parts: G. Dykstra; cap­ tain; B.
