SNPJ National Tournament
One of the largest delegations
from anywhere in the country
left Cleveland to take in the
National Bowling Tournament
sponsored by the Pioneer lodge.
It was a tired group that ar
rived back in Cleveland on Mon
day. With few exceptions an
enjoyable time was had by all.
The writer, Rudy Lisch and
Cam Zarnick represented Su-
preme Board members in the
group. Alternate Carl Sammi-
Mich also was kind enough to
help one of the team out.
The group is looking forward
to Detroit next year. Johnstown
with limited facilities also bid
but could not be accepted. With
the National in Detroit next
year, Cleveland having the East
ern Invitational this year, may
be it would be a good idea for
Johnstown to sponsor the East
ern next season!
