Some three seasons ago youngster

Farm Management five was bowling
in the Agriculture Interbureau League.
The teams captain used to say that
The boy made a fine utility man be
cause he was always ready
Dan Ready wasn't much of a
bowler in those days. but he had one
asset: he was sure death on single pin
scare breaks. Being of an analytical
turn of mind the boy eventually
noticed that while he could topple q
single pin about eight out of ten times,
he did not hit the head pin. shooting
at the bunch, more than 30 per cent
of the time.
1T dawned upon him then that his
failure to reach the 100 average he
VAS trying for was due not to hack
of physical ability but TO mental
attitude. He lacked concentration.
Shooting at a single pin, he could
concentrate on it-and get it most of
The time. Shooting at the bunch he
thought he was aiming at the head
pin when, as matter of fact, he
simply shot in the general direction
Of it.
This line OF thought started him
on a bit of experimenting that lifted
his average to 102 the following year.
At present he is around the 100 mark.
He practices even less than when he
averaged between 95-97. but he has
acquired the knack of blotting out all
except the head pin when shooting at
the bunch, or all but q single pin
when tackling a spare break, and this
concentration alone has added 3 pins
TO his average.
He always did play out Hhe string
and try for every bit of wood possible.
: IN his case it was merely the work
ing out of a plan to utilize his natural
ability; he always had the hand and
eye coordination necessary for the
100 bowler.
Building up concentration was a
difficult thing, as bowlers will learn.
