by the American Bowling Con-
gress belle the statement that
very few women are taking to
the game. No other game that has
been exclusively a male pastime
has caught the fancy of the ladies
so keenly-not even that of ten
mis-. However, the item that inter-
ests us to the nth degree is the
news that more and more Jewish
men and women are taking I'D
this game in big way. What is
more, the names of scores of Jew
ish bowling enthusiasts are listed
in the national honors every year
after the nationwide skittle Jam
borees have been completed. AS a
matter Of fact, one of the indivi-
dual entrants at the recently con-
cluded B'nai Birth affair was Max
Stein, formerly of Bel1eville, ILL
MOS, and erstwhile national all
events title holder. Max was one
of the top-notchers at the Detroit
carnival and was instrumental in
bringing a team from Hollywood,
California.
BOWLING REQUIRES SKILL,
NOT STAMINA
Bowling is game that requires
skill, not stamina. To be sure, it
may require a little effort to lift
one of these sixteen-pOund spher-
ODDS and shoot it down a sixty
foot alleyway, but there's an art
to spinning the ball. Once the
knack has been acquired there is
no need for Precipitation. 1t de-
mandS practice and concentration
and the "strikeS" and spares" and
perfect games" are inevitable.
The women are not required to
play with the regulation sixteen
Founders a md may use lighter
balls made of special plastics. In
either case the fun is the the
same.
And, brother, there's plenty Of
fun to be had, Once you try the
game, it'll get you. It's like a
drug. We know of no better way
of letting off steam and getting
rid of surplus energy. The thrill
that comes when you make your
first strike" or the tingling SEN
sation that creeps up your spine
when you're heading for your
first 200 score is very much the
same as if you were scoring a
winning touchdown in the last
sixty seconds of play. And, al
though we ourselves have bowled
in the 200 margins, we've never ap-
preached the perfect game = a
game of 300. However, we've had
the sensation described to us by
several players who have bowled
twelve strikes in row. (F'or the

Soaring aloft on newfound

alley topping each of the ten pins

said, practice in this game makes
perfect and all one has to do is to
keep plugging. Brute force or

do the trick. We've seen hundreds
