I PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1942. SPORTS, Navy Yard Bowler, in First Season as Duckpinner, Sets Pace in Star Tourney Reds Fenwick Shoots Score of 505 With Handicap of 117 90-Average Performer - Marks Up Season Record for Loop By ROD THOMAS. Laurel V. (Reds) Fenwick, Navy Yard toolmaker, is away winging on a bowling career. Fenwick, who hails from Brocton, 111, never han- dled a duckpin ball until the start of this season. His current average is 90. In his first effort he averaged %70 with the Tool Shop No. 2 team of the Naval Gun Factory League. Today, with a score of 505, includ- ing‘a handicap of 117, he stood bet- ter than a fair chance of winning the canital prize of The Star's 14th ennual tournament. Fenwick, a 212-pound, 6-foot husky, 36 years old, marked up games of 131, 141 and 116 last night at the Anacostia Spillway end tacked on 117 free sticks for a total of 505, which gave him an ad- vantage of 20 pins over Bob Wil- liams, Rosslyn, whose 72—485 stood for more than a week in competi- tion for the men’s top prize of a $1,000 Defense bond. Travels Hagdest Path. Fenwick, a partly bald redhead, | gathered sticks “the hard way.’| For the tournament final he count- ed a league set and in so doing not only rolled his first “300” but the high set of the season in the Naval Gun Factory League. His 388 topped by 4 pins the previous high, fired by his league’s president, George Herbert, who inveigled Fen- wick into duckpin shooting. Herbert, husband of Willie O'Steen Herbert, the tennis star, played last season on a softball team captained by Fenwick. Like others to come to the fore in The Star’s full-handicap tourna- | ment, Fenwick was surprised. “Five or six years ago,” he said, “I rolled tenpins with no attempt to compete. It was exercise. How I rolled 388 at | duckpins in this tournament is a | mystery.” Sald Herbert: “The fellow throws | & fast ball that produces a lot of | spare breaks. With control he'll | make a star bowler.” In his three games last night Fenwick gathered 12 spares and 2 strikes. For two years he’s been a Navy Yard toolmaker. He waited eight years for the job. Most of the qualifiers for the final yet to take their turns will employ league games. The event will close next Saturday night. Here are the leaders: Men. Gross sets—Laurel V.

Dozens of bowlers out of town or otherwise engaged during the holi- days will use their league games in the final. The only regularly sched- uled roll-off remaining is that of the Convention Hall woman qualifiers, on tap tomorrow night.

Stewart, golf chairman, says Columbia, always a popular spot with tournament players, will not be available in 1942 for one-day affairs. The letter will be read at the annual meeting of the Mary- land organization next week. “This does not mean,” Dr, Stewart sald, “that Columbia will not hold its own tournaments or that if ex- hibition matches for war organiza- tions want the course it may not be used. It means only that our com- mittee believes in wartime we should not hold outside tournaments.” It also means that no championship tourneys of outside organizations will be held at Columbia this year, although if the United States Golf Leads Standards To 2-1 Victory Trips National Capital Statistics Team; Opnav Rolls to Navy Lead Starting the new year with spar- kling bowling, Ann Smith hit top scores of 132 and 353 to lead Stand- ard’s 2-1 win from Statistics in Na- tional Capital League at Lucky Strike.

Despite that the topflighters will have to give away pins to the lesser lights, few of the city's stars will pass up the opportunity to take a crack at a $125 top prize.

The big question along that line is whether the U. S. G. A. will hold its usual championship schedule. At present the national links moguls seem certain to abandon their championships this year, which would mean there won’t be any of those sectional qualification horrors for any group of golfers—pro or amateur. Te Hold Club Events. Columbia probably will hold its usual club tourneys, including the opening day affair late in April, and the club championship in October. The club also has a new tournament | coming up for the senior champion- ship and the first year of competi- tion for a trophy presented by Roy | H. Pickford. It has not set a date for this event.

Originally the meeting was set for January 16, but that date conflicted with en- gagements of several of the 13 mem- bers and Mrs. Walter L. Weible, president of the association, changed the date to January 19. ‘The women will decide at their initial meeting whether they will go ahead with their full schedule or eliminate team matches and some of the one-day tournaments. Mrs. Weible explains that because of the amount of traveling necessary to play team matches possibly some of the competitors may not care this year to burn up tires for this pur- pose. But she says most of the women are disposed to follow through on the one-day tourna- ments. The tire situation is getting in the hair of a lot of people, among them the feminine golfers. You could hardly call women's golf team matches essential to a war effort, although the dear gals are giving a lot of time to the Red Cross and other agencies nowadays and a little relaxation in the form of golf com- petition wouldn’t do any harm. Bonds, Stamps as Prizes. However, the whole situation, says Mrs. Weible, rests with the Execu- disposed to go through with a com- | plete schedule. At the same time | the feminine prexy will lay before the meeting a proposal to give all prizes in Defense bonds or stamps. She will ask that the printed budget books be abandoned this year, with a mimeographed schedule (if one is adopted) to be substituted, and will tee for the tournaments. But although Mrs. Weible has talked with some of the committee members she has not contacted all | of them, and she doesn't know | exactly what they will recommend. | Following the January 19 meeting | another meeting will be held in Feb- | ruary to draw up a schedule. The team matches, if held, will start in | April. Steel Club Shaft Ban Is Next War Move Apt fo Hit Golf Government’s Scrap lron Request Holds Hint of Manufacturing Curb Next step in the wartime clamp- ing-down process on golf equipment | will come in the direction of steel golf club shafts. That's the way Bill Hardy, Chevy Chase club- | maker, sees it. Hardy is the only man around town who continues to turn out handmade golf clubs. He knows steel shafts forward and backward. Bill, of course, doesn’t know when or if steel priorities will shut down completely on steel shaft production and cut off the supply. But warn- ings of this step are plain in the Government request for scrap iron for war purposes and elimination of automobile production by the biggest user of steel among the Nation’s industries. “Even if we can get steel shafts for some time to come,” says Hardy, “they’ll probably be coming through with sheaths on them. The way I figure is this: Most of the steel golf club shafts today are chrome- plated. The plate is put on a copper base. Chrome and copper both are listed as essential metals nowadays and they are going to be hard to get, particularly for such luxury uses as golf club shafts. “The plain steel shaft would rust unless it was protected in some way from rain and wet. That's the reason for the chrome and copper protection. 8o I figure that even if we are able to get steel shafts at all they'll come through with some kind of sheathing to protect them from rust. The sheathing, which is a synthetic material, doesn’t make much difference, but I figure it 1s an appendage hung on the shaft and adds weight which should be in the clubhead.” Probably there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000,000 steel club shafts scattered throughout the land. It isn't a tremendous reser- voir of steel, but it adds up to quite a chunk of metal. And there isn’t much doubt that sooner or later steel golf club shaft uction 18 going to be curtailed, if it isn’t cut in a sweep over Corr's Sport Shop. out altogether. Trudel's Loop Scoring Lead Is Endangered By Summerhill Indian, Tied for Second, » Could Top Lions’ Ace In Playing Rockets Lou Trudel, the Washington Lions’ fast winger who has been setting the scoring pace in the American | Hockey League for several weeks, may be ousted from the top spot tonight when the Springfield In- | dians battle the Philadelphia Rockets | in the loop’s only game. Bill Summerhill, tied for second place with Gordon Pettinger of Hershey at 31 points, may overcome Trudel's 1-point lead against the lowly Rockets. Springfleld is lead- | ing other Eastern division clubs by | a wide margin and Philadelphia has | displayed the division's weakest de- | fense, 8o it's likely the Indians will | be doing some scoring. Polly Drouin and Stu Smith of | the Lions also are high in the in- dividual scoring race with 27 and 26 points, respectively. Tied for third place only two points behind Trudel are Norm Calladine of Providence | and Adam Brown of Indunnpou‘.} while Ab De Marco of Providence is | next with 29 peints. ‘The Lions, though, are hoping for less individual glory and more team- work when they face the New Haven Eagles at Uline Arena on Thursday night.

Hockey Eagles Battle Olympics In Make-or-Break Tilt Tonight n League Standings, Must Win to Remain in Title Chase Kinks Smoothed Out, Gonzaga's Quintet Is Ready fo Soar Rebui't Eagles Appear Match for Any Here; School Fives Busy By GEORGE HUBER. Fair enough for many teams, but far from satisfying to Coach Irvine Holbrook, is the 500 pace at which Gonzaga’s basket/ ball Eagles are traveling. That'd far below the standard set last year in winning 20 of 26 games and taking the mete ropolitan championship. The holi= day kinks have been shaken out, however, as was proved last week, when the Eagles avenged an earlier setback by topping Roosevelt, and Holbrook is ready with predictions his boys now will sail along in good style. The Eagles were due to be slow starters this season, with only one regular left over from the title quint, but newcomers have acquired enough polish in stiff practice sessions to put them on a par with practically any outfit in town. Nolan Shines for Gonzaga. This week they meet Georgetown frosh on Thursday, and on Friday they tackle Eastern. The Ramblers were defeated only four times last season and the Eagles did it twice, Eastern definitely has a better team now, and, if Gonzaga can repeat last year’s victories, it will go a long way toward rating it as one of the town's top high school teams. Bernie Nolan is the only regular holdover and is an outstanding ball handler and defensive player, but some of the others are approaching his efforts. The team of Joe (Reds) Murphy and Al (Bootsie) Lauck is exceptional. Both are high scorers, and some of Bootsie's spectacular pot shots are beauties to behold. Also worth watching is Tony Tane credi’s fancy ball-handling. It's a busy season opening for HAWKINS.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6—Purdue and Tows are profiting happily on the bad basket ball luck of Chicago and Michigan, to such an extent that the Hawkeyes and Boiler- makers currently are sharing first place honors with Northwestern in the Big Ten race. The Wolverines have dropped five consecutive games, the last two to Towa and Purdue. The Maroons have been beaten six straight, the last times by -Purdue and Iowa. Consequently Iows and Purdue, having won two games apiece and Jost none in conference play, find themselves in a category contested only by Northwestern, victor in two out of two, and Illinois, winner of its lone league start. The Hoosiers, meanwhile re- bounding from their 50-40 loss to N. U. Saturday, clipped Wisconsin last night, 38-34, to hand the 1941 Big Ten and national collegiate champs their second straight con- ference trimming and their third in & row in all games.
