She stands 5-feet and weighs
lot pounds. A stranger wouldn't
believe Vivian Walsh, with hands
barely large enough to hold a
duckpin ball. to be a bowler of
note. But she's a reigning sem
sation.
From Maine to Florida the
name of Mrs. Walsh. a payroll
clerk at the Naval Receiving
Station, was on the lips of duck
pin bowlers today. discussing in
wonder the game of 232 she
rolled Wednesday night at the
King Pin. as a member of the
H. B. Leary team in the Capital
Major League.
Among the most impressed
was Mrs. Walsh.

Six Consecutive Strikes.
The big game contained three
spares. six consecutive strikes

years ago by Eddie Funaro at
New Haven, Conn. the most
celebrated record in the book,
unless it has been superseded by
Mrs, Walsh's.
Duckpin records usually are
broken by a few pins. But Mrs.
Walsh's bettered by % the mark

his opponent tonight to be the
toughest of the four. you'll re-

Zeke Zirkle, Anacostia's rec

Kupka on both points. II think

FORE AND AFT

longtime advocates of a big
motorboat show for Washing
ton could we'll spend a little
time talking with Jack Styron,
who runs Washington Marina
on Maine avenue. They would
come away convinced the town
would back such an exposition.
Styron has just completed his
own small boat show, a nine
day affair that drew close to
$4,000 persons. But for foul
weather on the week end, the
event probably would have at
tracted even larger numbers.
But it was just as well since
Styron only had about 10000
square feet available for his
cruisers. runabouts, engines and
gadgets. At times it was packed
like the New York show.
He reports that his show lurcd
twice as many persons as last
year, which he attributes to
added interest in boating and
better promotion. Jack believes
that if the manufacturers can be
signed up N large numbers and
an arrangement worked out
whereby exhibit space rates
would not be prohibitive to local
dealers. this town could put over
boat show each year.
This writer had been inclined
to go slow on the idea when it
was brought up in past years.
but one dealers experience the
last few weeks throws new light
on the proposal. What better
place for it, too, than National
Guard Armory's 1913 square
feet of floor space?
Another new boating maya
zine has made its appearance on
neWsstands. It's called Cupboard
and is devoted to recreational
boating with emphasis on out

Shue' Performance
In Terp Victory Aids
Bid for Pro Career
By MerrelI WhittIesey

Gene Shue played MS last COL
lege game except for tournament
competition when Maryland beat
William and Mary. 74-55, last
night, but Coach Bud Millikan
believes it's only the beginning
of a career provided Shue gets
an opportunity to play pro ball.
II don't believe he can miss in
the pro league" Millikan said
after the game. HE lacks
height, but has everything else
a pro basketball player needs.
Gene can shoot from the out
side and will drive in on 'em If
they hold him too close. He's a
good ball handler. has a nice
change of pace and can play
more defense than most of the
fellows in pro ball right now. 1
believe he'll give any team an
average Of close to Is points a

Pro Scout Impressed.
Sonny Hertzberg, the former
Caps Set-shot artist and now
scout for the New York Knicks,
secuted Shue the other night
and appeared to be much i'm
pressed. However, the Baltimore
Bullets have territorial rights to
Shue. who is a native Balti-
morean
Shue kept the crowd in their
seats until the last second last
night after word passed around
early in the fourth quarter that
he needed % points in all to top
600 for the season. Last year
he became the first District area
collegian to top 500 points when
he hit for sos. so naturally he
was the first to top 500.
Only % seconds remained
when Shue went up for a layup
and WIS fouled. He made both
shots for his 22d and 23d points
for a COL total, then was taken
out to get the customary last
game applause for graduating
star.
Shue scored 235 points as a
sophomore in Millikan'S second
year as coach when Lee Brawley
was the Terps' high-point man.
Gene broke Brawley'S record
last year.
