Bowling Wrap Up
T here was no question in
anyone’s mind of Zane Jackson
bowling team emerging as bowl
ing champions for this year. By
winning all th ree q u a rte rs,
sporting a team with names of
Muskopf, E llis, Jim , Tana-
w asha, L., and W right, they
consistently kept the pressure on
the re s t of the team s all year
long.
The evidence is c le a r as
John Wright rolled a perfect 300
gam e on D ecem ber 28 which
gave him Hi-scratch. Wright has
also had five series over 700 and
they are as follows: 768, 764, 747,
728, and 723. He has had single
games of 289, 279, and 2 each of

with team m em bers of Dick
Souers, Wes Pendergraft, Geo
rge DeJarnett, Cecil Seyler and
Ray Shike.

the y ear. Mike Clem ents won

S p ily a y A lerted . . ,
Blazers Came To Kah-Nee-Ta
There was a rumor that the
Trailblazers were visiting Kah-
Nee-Ta on Saturday, April 29th.
Being one of their idle days from
the playoffs, Spilyay decided to
check this out. So he rushes to
the office, picks up a couple rolls
of film , hops into the c a r and
takes off with a big grin feeling
proud of himself to be covering
this story.
In route to Kah-nee-Ta there
were all so rts of thoughts ru n
ning through Spilyay’s mind —
all sorts of headlines and dif
ferent approaches to the subject.
This is going to be the story for
this issue. Blazers at Kah-Nee-
Ta!
Spilyay w ondered how he
should have them pose, or would
candid shots be b etter? Who
would he interview first? He was
making all these plans in order
to sim plify things when he a r
rived there.
At la st he a rriv e s a t Kah-
Nee-Ta and first goes to the
lodge and asks about the Trail
blazers. It w as learned they
were down a t the V illage so
Spilyay rushes down to the Vil
lage office to get information.
The girls a t the front desk
said the T railb lazers w ere in
teepees num ber one through
seven and that there was going
to be a local group putting on a
powwow for them a t 8 p.m . It
was discovered that instead of
being 6’7” or so, the Blazers
were 13-14 year-old Boy Scouts
calling their group the Columbi
an Trail Blazers.
Well, at this point it appear
ed that someone took the candy
right out of Spilyay’s mouth —
he shrugs his shoulders, turns
and says, “Win a few, and lose a
few.”

It’s all in the facial expression as Floyd Tewee demonstrated in a recent wrestling mini-class at the
grade school. Floyd was champion for several matches and then succumbed to a bigger kid. For more
