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 Blazers have no games scheduled during the Clu'istmas holidays.

Don Youug bag- ged ten for Shelton. At the half Shelton led 16-2. The second game was between the second team regulars and the 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.

Fredson added 586 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 least double 'to ut his club into If we ©ould-- we would say "Merry Christmas" to each of you personally.

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 tlve sock, undoubted!y rem- t of ;elk herds which once rnged or'or nearly all Western WaShington, The" delmrtment says there are n ecords oI elk ¢ver being planted on the Olympic Peninsula, although In some of the other Western Washington counties outside plantings have been made. 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 TOTEM CURIOS ON BEAUTIFUL HOOD CANAL V2-MIle South and West of Union INDIAN BASKETS NAVAJO RUGS INDIAN JEWELRY HAND TOOLED LEATIIER MYRTLEWOOD Houre: 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Daily Except Mondays 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.

If a hit was, 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.
