I j . j "After Lewis had realized what '.lie had done he got up off 1 the ground and went back to the bench ' absolutely crushed."! explained Sul livan. "I've talked; to Tommy's young wife.' Mary, tand she feels the came way. But there is no . reason to," Sullivan! added. ! "Shows Worth of Lame" j :' -i The immediate reaction throughout the coon try to the in cident was that any youngster with that much spirit gave proof of I the worth of college football, - . Sullivan said. j j Lewis, who is interested in play . In; pro football and coaching high school athletics, appeared a little . nervous when firstf introduced by Sullivan as one of! the finest boys .

Merle Curtis and Fred Karr. two of the most ardent rollers in the city have the distinction of being Salem's oldest, active keglers. Their ages are 63 and 72 respectively. The story of Merle's ability was run in this column last week, j; One item we forgot to mention f especially in regard to recruiting and financial aid to athletes.

" ' X " IHmiLw h r r i ML !US .J Dorais Pass ! Inventor, Dies ; Continued from Preceding Page Oldest active bowlers in the Salem ranks are Fred Karr (left) of the men and Merle Curtis (right), on the feminine side. was that Merle in an accident a few years back received a broken leg and there was some doubt if she would ever roll again. Mrs. Curtis, since then has erased all doubt . . Fred's ten pin achieve ments start from a long way back (around 1890 during the days of wooden balls) and are still mounting. It was around the year 1914 when Fred hit his prime. In this year Fred had one of the tough est match games in his life (he lost). With his capable competitor, Walt Schoenman. they rolled for twelve hours during which they piled up 71 games. They rolled averages of 226 for Walt, 225 for Fred at that time close to a world record. During this marathon Fred rolled fifty-seven games of 200 or better. His -top three con secutive games were 299-276-249 for a staggering 824 total. This match was held on the Farnam Alleys, Omaha, Nebraska, in lwa, he won a seveny-five-game match over Sam Stembock at the Win tergarden alleys, Salem, when he averaged close to the 198 mark. This was the same year in which he had five different league aver- ags of 198 or better. Today the Little General packs close to a 160 average in both the Industrial and Major leagues at CapitoL Many Honors for Karr1 $ Teams i ; r for the 1924 season but he left ! the next year for Detroit, At Gonzaga, he 'developed Hous ton Stockton, regarded as the best back Gonzaga ever had. and three other players, who later returned as head coach at Gonzaga Mike Pecarovich, - Ray Flaherty and John Puggy) Hunton Rockne once i told how j he and ; Dorais split up at Notre Dame ' where they were assistants. Both had been offered the head coach ing job and couldn't decide 'which should take it. They flipped a coin, Rockne recalled, and Dorais lost and came west. Dorais. succeeded at Gonzaga by Clipper Smith, j brought hjs highly .rated Detroit team to Spokane for a game in 1940. It drew only about 6,500 fans The poor attendance at that game has been given as an example of why Gonzaga couldn't afford to return to football after dropping it in 1941. j Dorais coached the University of Detroit from 1925 to 1942 win ning 19 straight games at one point, In 1937.J he guided the Col lege All-Stars f to their first win in the pre-season game -4 a 6-0 verdict over the Green Bay Pack ers Just to mention a few of the titles held by Karr's various teams. The 2910 Class B record score (Schiel's Clothing Co.) posted in 1928 still stands at the top of the list for Class B title for the Northwest in Vancouver, B. C 1950. Karr's won the Class B state title at Hillsboro last year. Fd took a team to the Western States Tournament at San Jose last year and came home with the first place payoff of $1,000.00. The Karr's 5 Old Misers won the Major loop crown two years back and to day lead the same league by a two game margin. It is truly a life full of bowling thrills with more to come. If you were to ask Freddie how long before retirement? the answer would be, "Never," with a big friendly smile. ... Last week proved to be one of the highest scoring weeks of the year. Leading the parade with a huge 696 was the Goat of last week's column. Ercel Kay r Ere put games of 200-241-255 in forming the highest three-game series of the year. Another series that de serves special attention was the 611 total rolled by John (Lefty) Doerfler. This 600 series was the first ever in league play for the smooth southpaw. John had consistent games of 200-204-207. . Other top rollers for the week were Ed Wilkalis-647. Bob Thomp-son-600, Bob Reeves-647, Don : ( Miracle) Lutz-636, Tom Brennan- 634, John Irons-842 (4 games), Gene KitzmiIler-622, Bunny Bun nell-602. New member for the Triplicate Club: Jim Debow of the Valley Oil crew. Jim threw carbon copy games of 168-168168. His average isn't 168, but it is close at 167. ... I It is seldom a roller who weighs 253 pounds can bowl anywhere near his weight This rare feat was achieved last Monday night at U-Bowl when Don (263 pounds) Lutz cut loose with a high scoring 256 game. They tell me he had to loose nine pounds in order to accomplish this feat That 247 game rolled by team mate Gene Kitzmiller was his highest single game score for the last three years. ... - Trail ways Cafe team of the "875" Classic league gave one of the greatest exhibitions of team rolling ever, last Monday night. The team rolled games of 975-924-950 for the highest scratch score ever rolled in league at U-BowL a high 2849 to tal. Team members and scores were Floyd McNall-522, Gene Kitzmiller-622, Art Upston-565, Don Luti-636 and John (Low Dog) Riches-504. ...

Officials: Wickert and Scrivens. Noticed an article in the paper the other day where a team's average age was sixty-eight years. Well! you may not believe it but Salem could have a team, and a pretty good one too, that would av erage sixty-nine years. Team members of Salem's Old Slickers would be Fred Karr-72, Elwood Bolser-71, John Rayburn-70, Frank Simons-70 and take your pick from any of the following, Don Poul-in-63, Ercel Kay-63, Walt Cline-60. Any combination would give you around an 850 team average . . . Not bad for a bunch of kids. . . To often we overlook the most important man in the bowl ing alley, the Pin Boy. This week we salute one of the best pin- men in the city, John Linn. John who started his pinsetting job at the age of fifty-four, and has been setting them up ever since celebrated his 62nd birthday on New Year's eve, working at his favorite pastime, pinsetting. Mgr. Bob Haagea rates him as a number one, pinboy who along 'with son Henry is always one of the first to, complete his league's.
