D ic k S ouers H o n o re d Making the presentation was Dennis Williams, the Secretary- Treasurer for the Jefferson County Bowling Association. Wil liams said that there are only three sanctioned 300 games ac complished here in Jefferson County. The first was by Vernon Tanewasha earlier in the year, shortly after that John Wright got his 300 game. At the begin ning of this year’s league play Dick rolled his perfect game. All three games have come in the Pelton Lanes according to pro prietor Connie Allen. All three who have rolled a 300 game are in the Warm Springs Bowling League which is held each Wednesday night and they are all on different teams and from time to time it appears On the night of December 6, Dick Souers was presented with a 300 bowling game diamond ring and a 300 game patch for his achievement on the night of September 27 when he rolled a perfect 300 game at the Pelton Lanes.. ’'ÍFKK*. that either one could repeat with another 300 game as they come ever-so-close. There are several bowlers in the league that are capable of rolling a 300 game and have come Close in the past. It is very hard to concentrate on twelve consecutive strikes in a row. Muskopf stated earlier in the year that he has been bowling for quite some time but has yet to roll a 300 game. I’ve played golf for a short time and made a hole in one but I have never gotten a 300 bowling game yet, he added. In any event Souers has joined the “Elite” in the bowling world and who knows who might be next. Spilyay is not bowling but who knows he could come in and roll a perfect 300 game on his first attempt. Boxers Bring Homo Championships Two montns of extensive training and vigorous work-outs have paid off for the Warm Springs Boxing Club when tjiey traveled to Longview, Wash., for the novice and . sub-novice championship tournament, Dec. 2 & 3. Of the eleven contending from Warm Springs, the local team secured five championship titles, the team championship, and the team sportsmanship honors. Making his very first appearance in boxing competi tion, Gale Lawrence, Jr., boxing in the 165 lb. class, was Warm Springs’ biggest victor, winning by a third-round technical knock out. According to boxing coach, Fabian Sutteriee, Gale’s win “hyped up” the other boys and gave them the confidence and encouragem ent to win. “ It (Gale’s win) lifted them up and put them in the right mood to box, ’ ’ said Sutteriee. Lucas Ike, 145 lb., had a close fight which he lost by a split decision. This was Lucas’ first bout in the ring, and according to Fabian, he threw some illegal punches. Points are deducted for illegal punches so after the match was over Lucas had points deducted and came out behind. Mike Berry weighed in at 165 pounds before his fight, but was pushed up into the 175 lb. class because there was no one in his class to fight. The larger oppo nent won over Berry with a technical knockout. Sutteriee said he and the other coaches saw | Berry hit with an illegal punch which took him down. The referee failed to see the illegal punch and although Berry was ready and willing to finish the fight, the referee ended the match. Sterling Holiday, 90 lbs., lost his fight because of hair falling in his face. “Otherwise he would’ve won,” said Sutteriee. The other boxers declared champions from Warm Springs were: Kevin Blueback, 80 lbs.; Russell Tufti, 90 lbs.; Sheldon Sutteriee, 90lbs.; and Joel Craig, 80 lbs. They received medallions as prizes. Coach Sutteriee made note that this was all of his boxers very first appearance in the ring, with the exception of two. Fabian considers all of his boxers win ners of the Longview tourney although not all of them came home with medallions. The other coaches and jud ges praised the Warm Springs boxers because they had never seen Warm Springs in such fine physical condition before. The judges and coaches thought our team was going to be easy, said the coach. The boxers were competing against eleven other teams and about 75 other boxers, according to Sutteriee. With only one boxing tourna ment this season, Fabian al ready has high hopes of taking some boxers to the Nationals. He feels he has a couple of boxers who have the potential of being National champions, with more work-outs and conditioning. “We’re going to let people know we’re around,” said the coach. The boxing club will be idle through December, but they are looking forward to more action next month. On January 6 & 7, the boys will be going over to Eugene for another Open tourna ment. On January 13 & 14, it will be Longview again, where Sut teriee says some of the boys who lost will be looking for a re match. Then on January 20, the boys are hoping to host their own tournament at the Community Center.
