THE BOWlERS'
HALL of FAME
Bv ALFONSO CATO

Interest among new corners TO
the alleys has hit new high in the
past three weeks. Hundreds OF
males and females are flocking 10
the alleys to learn the grand cid
game Of ten gins. These new-com-
ers should be taught by bowling
instructors who know the game and
also by those who know how to
teach il. Therefore. we thought
that the time is ripe 10 publish
some constructive advice 10 the
many new instructors.
How To Teach Bowling
The first step with a beginner
should be taken with caution, for
his first impression will be a last
ing one. Cd Before beginner
picks up his or her first ball he
should be taken into a class where
every little detail about the game
is pointed out. Blackboard illustra-
tons should be drawn. pointing
out the number OF pins on the al
ley. and their numbers: what is
meant by the approach. the foul
line. the gutter, and the returns.
The more an individual knows
about the game before the tries his
hand az il the better he will like
il. 90 Then. and not before. the
newcomer should be given his
first ball and taught how 10 pick il
up. how to hold it, ard how 10
make the delivery. A beginner
should be laugh, the right way
from the start and he won't de-
part from il.
Try this little system out and the
results Will be more and better
bowlers.
