Idea Picks Up Like
Rolling SNOWFALL;
Big Match Set
BY ROD THOMAS,

moving downhill today was the
roll-for-a an-in-the-service plan
in The Stars War bond bowling
tournament. 1t started Sunday
when 1t. Lou Jenkins, former No.
l ranking duckpinner of the coun-
try, boWled for several lads over
seas, the latter to receive whatever
prizes he might have won.
The setup is: You buy a bond
turn over the receipt to bowler
who will shoot, free of charge, at
any alley in the Metropolitan
Washington Area, and if he wins
a prize it will go to the serviceman
designated by you 1t hardly mat
ters who does the bowling because
a full handicap system places all
participants on an equal footing.
Hundreds of non bowlers are buy
ing the bonds and having no diff
Guilty, you can bet, finding pin
shooters to roll for their men in
the services.
For example, William Gordon,
Palace Tailoring Co. head, bought a
$500 bond when the plan was de-
scribed to him by Curly Coudry, one
of the hottest of War Bond bowling
statesmen. Mr.. Gordon's boy, Sol, is
a naval aviation machinist's mate,
third class. ASA result of this pur-
chase one of the most interesting
bowling matches of the season will
take place next Tuesday night at the
Lafayette.
Pack Lots Of Class.
1t will bring together a powerful
mems team, captained by Coudry.
and a women's lineup so strong
that foul line judge will be pro-
vided by the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress to insure validity
in case of national record.
Each member of the mems team
will shoot for a serviceman; each
of the women, captained by the
famed Lorraine GULL, will proxy for
a sedvicewoman.
Firing for Machinist's Mate Cor
don will be Al Terry; for Sergt.
Louie Martin of the Army. Coudry
his brother-in-law; for Tech. Sergt.
Francis E. Reidy, Army aviation,
Perce Wolfe, No. l ranking duck
pinner of the Washington Metro
politan Area: for 1t. Hugh Gran
dali, naval aviation, Karl Goch-
enour, and for Sergt. Gene Hargett,
Fred Murphy. The three games
each will bowl will be tossed into
the tournament. In the case of
Sergt. Hargett and Murphy it will
be a bowler for a bowler and a
soldier for a soldier Sergt. Har-
gett now is in England. A while
back Murphy, with the same rank,
returned from England with a med
ical discharge.
Huguely Gets Action.
Miss Gulli's sharpshooters have
yet to name the serviceWomen they
will bowl for but among their rooters
next Tuesday night will be a flock
Of Waves. Mr.. Gordon's $500, to eX-
plain a rule of the tournament, pur-
chased 10 entries. Purchase or sale
of bond is required to compete.
In a meeting at the Lafayette last
night plans were completed for the
participation of all teams of the
Mems and Women's District Leagues
in big War Bond bowling show at
Convention Hall, details of this to
be published later.
George W. Huguely, ir.. lumber
man. and Bethesda Bowling Center
operator, who offered to purchase
$1,000 bond for every match his all
star team rolled provided the spon-
sor of the opposing team would do
the same, is in fair way of gath
ering in a sheaf of bonds. The ac-
ceptances are coming thick. The
limit of Huguely's purchases through
his team may be governed by time.
The boWlrC War Fond drive will end
January 9 and at the current rate
of acceptance Huguelys team may
be called on to set a record for
activity. 1t is composed Of Johnny
Ressa, Bub Guethler. FL Geib, Dis
trict League champin; Tack Talbert
and Tony Santini, every one
sharpshooter.

cooonoced of l,ipoca1f I'd plolyo,,o,,
Sam Simon. Dick Lee and Bob Mici-
otto or Perce Wolfe, a lineup ca
pable of whipping any orga nization.
Incidentally, Wolfe. No. l ranker
of the Metropolitan Washington
Area, encompassed by The Star
