By JOHN A. CLUNKY

Cheshire, March i8-Increased interest in high school bowling, from an organized and supervised viewpoint was one of several iEn- portant pieces of discussion ct ez'- nual meeting of the Connecticut Alley Owners Association here to- day.

The national organization took action against "all-star" combinations, both men and women during a December, l0A5 meeting, which prevents the best ir- diNdual bowlers in a league from entering a state or national tourna- ment as team.

will go up another four or five cents
