CLOSE-UPS
By ERIC SWARTHE
They don’t give second chances in the West Coast Bowling Congress — and that, in a nutshell, explains the Please-Kick-Me-Hard attitudes of the Tyrone Power and Alice Faye teams as they hobbled golden opportunities at the recent ten-pin tournament at San Jose.
Heartbreaking, indeed, was the five-man effort of the Alice Faye team whose first two games in the Open Class read 915 and 926. At this stage a 1000 point game would have put them in first place. It looked that way going into the eighth frame — -then Old Man Hard Luck put his two cents in and the scoreboard read four splits and an error — all in one frame! Just to rub it in, the team of ElwoodBow-Albright-Moore-Morgan walked into three more splits in the tenth frame and a sad score of 800 points which definitely put them out of the running.
The Tyrone Power outfit of Vaughn-Pittenger-Morgan-Hechtlinger-Farley started with an aggravated case of the jitters in the 850 division and never managed to get out of the stage very far. However, two of the boys compensated partially for its failure by stepping into the money in the special singles events. Les Vaughn, publicity, garnered fourth place in the 160-69 class with a 555. And in the 170-179 division fifth place went to Lou Hechtlinger, also of publicity, with a three-game aggregate of 590.
A glad note reaches us before we go to press that the Tyrone Power team of ElwoodPittenger-Macknick-Stitz-Lewis is currently leading the Special Division of the Fresno MidState Bowling Congress which winds up this week. The boys cracked down with a swell 2999-game which should leave them one-twothree at the finish. Here’s wishin’ splits to your foes!

Negotiations are under way between Joe Rickards of the Transportation Department and Charles Hubbard, Personnel Director of Universal, to form an Inter-Studio golf team matches league.
Present plans call for three 4-men teams to play at handicap between 20th Century-Fox and Universal some time during July, and if any golfers on the lot are interested, they are requested to call Joe Rickards on Station 533.
Hubbard and Rickards are contacting a number of the other studios in order to try, at least, to form a league which will include all the studios which are interested in goli.
