Port Orchard Wins
Pair From Blazers
On Casaba Court
by HAROLD CARR
The Jmlio High Blazers bowed
in defeat, 28 to 20, Friday after-
noon to the Port Orchard junior
high on the Blazers' own floor, and
also lost the second string en-
counter, 15 to 12.
The Blazer varsity, matched
evenly ill size with its opponents,
lost its third straight game after
enjoying a 14 to 12 edge at the
half. Jack Davldson, high scorer
for the Blazers with ten tallies,
made eight in the first half, and
also sparked on defense.
Tied at 7-7 at the end of the
first quarter, Shelton went ahead
at the half but fell behind at the
third quarter mark, 23-18, and
never got back into the lead.
The Blazer second string ran
into too much size but pnt up a
gallant struggle before surrender-
ing a three-i)oint decision in the
preliminary game. Poz¢ Olchard
led at half, 10-6. Karl Scltwarck
led the Blazer reserves with five
points, one less than Davis of the
visitors scored for high point hon-
ors. Danny Yarr played a fine
floor game for Shelton.

The second game was between

Port Orchard eighth graders and
although the visitors were a bit
larger and very fast the Blazers
again triumphed, 21-18, after, a
close fight all the way. At the
half the Blazers led 15 to 10. Sub-

pins and John Detach 554 to the
Pastime's score.
Fredson's 644 was the big count-
er in putting himself and Funt¢
into the doubles leadership, while
Ferrier added a 6,tl in the doubles
to his 601 team score for tile bulk
of his all-events total.
WOODS WAS the only member
of the W.H.S. Electric team to
get into the prize money bracket.
The Electricians and the Pastime
are the second and third Shelton
teams to compete in the Class B
division of the state competition,
Lake Cushman Resort having
Sheltofi pin-topplers lead three
of the four Class B division events
of the Washington State Men's
Bowling, Association tournament
after last weekend's results on
the Lincoln Bowl alleys in Ta-
coma, and were second and third
in the other event to further pad
the "loot" brought home by the
two local teams which competed
in the big meet last Saturday and
Sunday.
The Pastime team, leaders of
the City League here, took over
first place in the Class B team
event with a husky 2882 total,
including 126 pins handicap, while
Ken Fredson and Percy Funk
rolled into the Class B doubles
lead with their 1240 pin total, of
which 70 were handicap, and I.
H. Woods, member of the W.H.S.
Electric team of Shelton, led the
Class B singles with his 657 fig-
ure, which includes 48 pins han-
dicap.
THE ONLY" event in which
Shelton pinmen didn't hold top
honors was the all-events, where
Ken 1Predson was second with
his 1771 total and Al Ferricr was
third with a 1751 mark, both trail-
ing the 1797 hung up by Cliff Wes-
coat of Tacoma.
Ferrjer was the ace of the Pas-
time's team performance, bagging
a 601 total, but the important
part 0f his contribution was strik-
ing out in the last frame of the
last game, knpw,g he had to at

bowled two weeks ago and had
fourth place at that time.
Later entries have sagged the
Cushman score on the prize list
but its 2724 pin total is expected
to stay within the prize group.
Babe and Laurie Carlson of the
Cushman lineup, with respective
601 and 597 individual totals,
should also cut in on the singles
prize money in the Class B divis-
ion, giving Shelton's three entries
in the meet an exceptionally size-
able wad of the prize melon.
The state tournament still has
another weekend to go before it
is completed, but the Shelton
scores are expected to hold up well
andsh0uld be close to it' not at the
same levels they now hold when
the firing closes next Sunday.
FIGGERS
Just what it proves except poss-
ibly that one must be a good
marksman to get his deer, wher-
ever he hunts, the Sideliner isn't
sure but according to the National
Rifle Association the average dis-
tance at which deer iu the U. S.
are shot is 113 yards.
This figure was arrived at after
a six month survey made on over
5000 deer kills. Washington was
shown among the [owesL distance
states, tle average here being put
at 83 yards by the NRA Only
two were listed as having lower
averages than Washington, these
being Michigan at 81 and Mon-
tana at 82, while Maine was tied
at 83.
It takes the kcenest eye to drop
a buck in Wyoming', according to
the NRA, the average being 176
yards, while in Colorado it is 165
yards, in Utah and Idaho 160, Ore-
gon 131, Texas 120, Minnesota
101, Wisconsin 100, and Pennsyl-
vania 89.

TIIEY GREW HERE
According to the State Game
Department,. elk Ilerds on the
Olympic Peninsula are entirely

t of ;elk herds which once

some of the other Western

LOOKING RACK AT BOWLING
Plenty of" argument and lots of
figures are cited by bowling bugs
who contend that the ten-pin sport
is' the national pastime instead
of basebail,•says Mike Contris,
editor of "Sp0igts Sauce" in the
Daily ely,, plan.
B0wlins backers say that the
impetus of World War II has
shoved this ancient pastime into
th realm of big business and
makes it rate as the greatest par-
ticipant sport in the country.
And very likely it is, as long
as It Is made clear that it Is
the greatest "participant" sport.
Whethc It comes anywhere
near baseball or football as a
spectator sport Is highly ques-
tionable, but its claims of oelng
the biggest participant sport
probably are justified.
Sports Editor' Contris indulged
in some interesting facts on the
history of bowling in one of his re-
cent columns, part of which the
Sideliner quotes herewith:
"Did you know that bowling as
a sport and recreation is more
than 7,000 years old? Well, it
has been traced back to the an-
cient Egyptians who bowled as
early at 5,200 B.C."
A book by Sir Flinders Patrie,
emeritus professor of Egyptology
at the University of London, says
that ancient chronicles of Pader-
born reveal that the first bowling
was done in the cloisters of cath-
edrals. It was the custom of the
canons to"have parishioners, in
turn, place their pins at one end
of the cloister, This represented
the Heide, a German word mean-
ing eathen. The parishioner then
was given a ball and asked to

J B-Team Wins 5th
Despite Bad Case
Of Individualitis
Coach Grant Packard's High-
climber B-team posted its fifth
straight victory of the season, and
remai]ed unbeaten, with a 23 to
15 decision over tim Poulsbo re-
serves Friday night on the Shel-
ton floor but it wasn't through
any excellence of their owu that
the little Highelimbers wound up.
with the heavy end of the score.
SUFFERING all acute attack of
individualists, the Packard-ires
barely squeezed by a wstly infer-
ior rival and one they'd trounced
soundly at I'oulsbo just a week
earlier. The only redeeming feature
of the Highelimbers performance
was that they were constantly try-
ing, even if t hose efforts were bent
strictly along iudividual lines, and
that's all that brought them home
in front.
Talcing 5 to 0 and 11 to 6 leads
in the first two quarters, the Shel-
ton offense stalled so completely
in tile third quarter lhat the visi-
tors took a 12 to 11 edge late
in the period, but Dab Getty swish- t
ed a long shot fr(nn well out on
the right sidelines to put the
Highclimbers back ahead by the I
close of the quarter.
DOUG COLE, Bob Ashley and[
Getty added fourth quarter goals I
to free tosses hy Ashley, Getty, i
Gene Wells and Toby Vasbinder
which sewed up the game as the
Highclimbers began to realize their
plight and took steps to cure it.
Getty topped the scoring with
nine tallies but also suffered the
worst affliction of long-shotitis of
any of his teammates. Defensively
the little Highclimbers played good
ball with Ashley, Getty and Cole
sparkling in that role. The lineups:
Shelten (28) Poulsbo (15)
Vasbinder 3 f Olsen 6
Wells 5 f Eidje 1
Ashley 4 c Aldridge 6
Cole 2 g Hoag
Getty 9 g Gordon

scored, it indicated that the throw-
er was leading a clean and pure
life and was capable of slaying the
heathen. If be missed, it mean
that a more faithful attendance
et services would help his ahn!
From the cloisters of the cath-
edrals, the game spread, first as
tile canons played tlm gam in a
contest with the cathedral stu-
dents. Then the kings took it
np as a recrealion at theic cas-
tles and l)ianied tile .seed for
the game as we know it today.
Royalty, for instance first
started to cover the bowling al-
leys. A covet' for the bowlers and
one for the pins and then a siugle
plank upon which to roll the ball
to the pins. More plans were
added, possibly because it was dif-
ficult aiming with but one narrow
plank to go by.
