The Washington Presidents
are down, but they aren't ready
to be counted out.
Winless in their last seven
games, the Presidents showed
their gameneSS last night at
Uline Arena by tying the score
at A in the last period against
Clinton and then holding the
Comets in the overtime period.
The game ended in a "A dead
lock.
1t was the second tie in seven
games for Washington (the
other also was "A against
Philadelphia last Friday. Last
nights tie broke a five-game
winning streak of the Comets.
Fired up by their late rally,
e the Presidents refused to be
intimidated by a couple of
Clinton players in the 10
minute overtime period. When
they were showed around, they
showed back.
Center Dan Patrick of WASH
ngton collided with Clinton
Goalie Norm DeFelice. The lat
ter, wearing a protective face
mask, started swinging, and
Patrick retaliated. This brought
on Mike Kardash of the Com
cts, who got hit by Patrick.

seemed hopeful that LeBaron

rookie from Santa Barbara, as
well as to be available for
tight situations on the playing

Too Perfect a Fit Can Mean
Too Much Speed
Strange as it may sound,
your bowling ball can fit too
well. A ball can fit a bowler's
hand so perfectly that it can
hurt his game. 1t generally
happens only to the bigger,
huskier men, however.
When a ball fits big fellow
too well, he is inclined to get
a lot of extra speed. The
weight Of the ball doesn't
bother him, and the ball fits
his hand so perfectly that he
is hardly aware of it at all.
So. he winds up and really
let's fly with it. The result is a
ball that SkidS down the alley,
as we show, than it should
before it begins to roll. Less roll
means it also is getting less
hooking action. And such a
ball means poor action when
it reaches the pins.
In such cases, a bowler often
isn't aware of what is causing
his ball to lose its effectiveness.
He experiments with more
wrist turn or more finger lift
to try to make his ball roll
and hook better.
The answer is to cut down
on the speed. If the bowler has
trouble keeping his speed down,
try enlarging the thumb or
finger holes a bit. This will
make him grip the ball a bit
more consciously and help to
reduce his speed. But first, just
try to hold the speed down.

1000? Or even higher? Tips
