TEN SELECTED AS MISERS OF msT-3XRI.T* FOR POST BOEING xiSAU:
The first try-out for the po3t boxfling team was held tfkdnead&y evening at
the post gymnasium under direction of Lt. K„ Maertens. As a result the follow
ing men were selected tentatively as first-string bowlers:
. Stevenson, Powell, Gardiner, Stewart, 3erry, Luben, Brewsaugh, Blackwell,
Skinner and Porter.
This makes two teams and from tiles a and any new Material which may develop
the five^man team to represent the post, with alternated, will be selected#
i*t» i^aertens bowled on Wednesday 153, Stevenson, 159,140; Brewsaugh, 122,
115; Stewart, 140,174., and 149; Berry, 129, 98; Luben, 145, 141; Blackwell, 135;
Gardiner, 145# As not all scores were turned in, they can not be given for all
men* The Post requests that bowlers, not only cf the team, but of pivate b&wling
parties, be submitted fer publication#
The coach of the post team states that temperament counts a great deal in
team bowling, and is selecting men ’«ho can be counted on to bowl in a pinch, ra
ther than those d10 make occasional high scores but ^rtio "blow up" when there is
an audience or Ahen they have a bad break# Jhis is a tip for men who are trying
out for the teai to get their goat in harness go it wont break loose on them.
From the scores given above it is evident that there is plenty of chance
for new m&erial to get cut and make the team* Diere must be, from the scores
made last season, plenty of bowlers still on the post who can equal anything yet
produced at the try-outs.

game by a margin of 63 pins; but this didn’t discourage theold timers, who came
