ADAK ANNUAL CHRISTMAS BOWLING TOURNEMENT
•. The Adak Christmas Bowling Tournament came off as a big success* Everyone
.enjoyed the tournament immensely. There were three events - team play,
doubles, and singles. . There were also trophies for the all events for the
highest game bowled in the tournement as well as for the highest series,
and highest average for the tournement.
The team events was won by the Army-Navy Team in first place; the Hammer
head Team in^ second place, and the Number 69ors in third place. The highest
game in^ the team event 'was 242 bowled by Machen. The highest series was
also bowled by Machen at 642. The first place team was made up of Jackson,
Blank, Fryson, Berger and Crouse* The second place team was made up of
CDR Straub, CDR Stout, Mr. Bafus, Ivlr. Stotz and Mr* .Woods* The third place
team was made up of Nenstiel, Hiatt, paper, Grayson and Slivicki.
k The doubles events was won by Varsasky and Nenstiel with 1143 pins for-.,
" the three games bowled. Second place was won by Berger and Jackson with
1123 pins. ,Third place went to Grayson and Henderson with a total of 1117
pins for three games. High Game in the doubles event was bowled by Nordstrom
1 end Berger both having a- score of 217. High Series was bowled by Berger with
623 pins. '■ > ?
The Singles Event went to Berger with a total pinfall of 636. He tried
hard to beat the eariler high series of 642 and came very close to doing
■ it. He came through with three outstanding, games of 223, 178 and 23b.
■ The sad part of it is though that Berger bowled two more games - immediately
afterwards and came up with a spectacular game of 255. Second place in the
singles wont to McNabb with a -total of 594 pins. McNabb had to do a lot of
sweating that on though as he -was one of the first to bowl his singles off,
so he had to sweat all the while the rest of them bowled. The same was
true of the third place winner* Blarik, who came through with-579 pins as he,
too, was one of the first to bowl in. the singles. We did have a big thrill
at the end of the singles. Nancy Tuttle who came into the tournement with
) an average of 121 and was the- last person to bowl in the singles looked like
she might easily take over second or third place. She came up with a 2\7
game and then -fo-l-lowed it with a 168 game. If she could have come up with
another game like the 217 she sure would have surprised a lot of people.
In the All Events the High Average went to Berger who had an average that
looked1 very good at 209. High series went to Machen with the 642 series
and also came through for the High Game with the score of 242. '
Our ..thanks to all the many people who bowled in the tournement. They
|aade' it, really exciting and a lot of fun. When the next one comes along
lets hope you all get in.
