MEDFORD, OREGON Billiards for Women Becoming Popular Game Philadelphia - ttlPD - The fabulous little guy who has spent most of his life in pool halls has decided to get the ladies interested in knocking the ivories around. Willie Mosconi, one of tha greatest billiard experts who ever lived, has established Willie Mosconi enterprises pri marily to lure the female of the species into one of the last refuges for men only. Mosconi's idea has two parts: first, attractive billiard centers-not, please, pool halls. Second, a handicapping sys tem that will put the duffer on a competitive level with the expert (formerly known as shark). Mosconi will franchise Wil lie Mosconi Billiard centers, each to be built to his specifi cations and featuring specially loomed carpeting and an at tractive color scheme in addi tion to custom-made colorful equipment. , The handicapping system, which still is in the final de velopment stage, will let the beginner - or lady - compete with the skilled player. It is hoped it will foster billiards as a husband-and-wife sport, something along the order of bowling. An added attraction will be Mosconi, of course. Willie will tour his franchised billards centers giving exhibitions and pointers on how to play the game. Mosconi, 48, was born 1 n South Philadelphia. He gave his first exhibition match when he was 7 years old. Nor mally this would indicate a m I s s p e n t life, beginning early. But in Mosconi's case, it meant that a top athlete sim ply began practicing early and developed a natural talent to the point where he won his first tournaments while still in his teens and was compet ing with the championship calibre professionals when he was only 18 years old. He has held the world's title for IS of the last 18 years, and holds the record for scoring a high run of pocketing 526 straight balls, beating his own previous record of 365. Almost 70 per cent of Geor gia's area is farm land. Food Staple Had Humble Beginning Tthara M V. (UPS - Fam ilies may plan to shop twice a week for food, but they gen erally make three trips to the market. That's the finding in a study of 100 local families, directed by Prof. Kathryn Walker, of the New York State college of home eco nomics at Cornell university. The survey also showed that shopping time, including planning, transportation and putting tne groceries averaged 3.4 hours a week. The range was from 2.8 hours for families of two to four hours for families of five or more. Another point reported was that a family with income of more than $7,000 spends about an hour less shopping time than families in the $3, 000 - $4,999 Income bracket.
