Each Receive Trophies Olive Frise and Frank Brady Capture Aggregate Honors Enhanced by the glittering aura of a dazzling array of trophies, and the presence of President W. A. Wecker, the annual 1948 General Motors 5.Pin Bowling Tournament was completed on Friday night at the Motor City Bowling Club and climaxed with the presentatich of the awards to the fortunate or competent winners. CB.A. officials present addressed a few remarks to the crowd of GM bowlers and announced that one of their own well-kncwn members, Alex Donaldson, has been named a C.B.A. vice-president. "The boys" intimated to Alex that he is expect- ed to turn in nothing by 300 scores and a few perfect 450 games, from now on. Master of Ceremonies Bob Red- doch, with a genial twist, turned the official presentatign proceedings in- to a pleasant family party. He paid tribute to al) tournament ¥such an outstanding success, with their whole-hearted co-operafien. It could be pointed out here that M. C. Robert was also a big factor in contributing to the success of the tourney, with his hard work and untiring efforts. "Zippers" Win Trophy The Truck Line "Zippers" were 'returned as the top team in the men's section and the huge trophy, biggest in the array, was presented to them by President W. A. Wecker. The happy quintette consisted of Jack Calder, Jack Germond, Reg Thursby, Stan Lawrence and the veteran Art Legge and they rolled 3,754, highest total for the last three years, to defeat 81 other entries. George Read, GM Plant produc- tion manager, a pretty fair bowler in his own rights, presented the ladies' trophy to the Rockettes, five £9 powerful gal bowlers from the Parts Dept. These girls, Velma Goyne, Eileen Butler, Betty Gibbs, Jean MoGrath and Doreen Hahnan, top- ped the entire field in the ladies' team section. A Cutting and Sewing entry; "The Lucky Five," a mixed team, woh top honors in their event. They were Verna Cooper, Effie 'Baldwin, Lea' Parkes, Russell Palmer and Fred McMillan and they received their trophy from Mr. Wecker also. Doubles Winners In the "man and wife" event, most popular doubles competition in the tournament, was won by Mr. and Mrs, Earl Rowden, who spilled the pins for a 1574 total--which was a better total than that which won the honors In the men's doubles event. Mickey Robertson and Rod Hen- drie rolled 1,570 to win top honors in the men's doubles play. In the ladies' doubles competition, Ruth Warburton and Mary Brock- man were returned winners with a combined total of 1,329. Gord and Betty Baxter proved that their brother-and-sister act was the best in the straight mixed doubles event and competing in the last half-hour of the play, they roll- ed top total to cop the honors. George Read presented them with their trophies. Singles Champions Reg Thursby outclassed all Tivals .and annexed the men's singles 'erown with the best prize score of the week, 860 for three games. In - the ladies' singles, Norma Hodgson with 805 headed her field and together with Betty Baxter, retained some honor for the GM Main Office. All other first prizes went to bowlers from various plant departments. Best bowler in 'the tournament, an honor decided on "scratch" seores, total aggregate from the var- ious 'competitions, was won by Frank Brady in the men's section, which enabled him to retain the same trophy he won last year. Olive Frise, a strong competitive bowler, proved best in the ladies' groupings, to win the high aggre. gate trophy for the girl bowlers. Enthusiasm Is High With Messrs. Wecker and Read making their presentations in a pleasing informal manner, which contributed much 'to the spirit of family fellowship that has prevailed throughout the tournament, enthu. slasm for a big and better tourna- ment next year runs high. The GM annual 5-pin tournament is conducted on a handicap basis p and gives every bowler, regardless of experience, a fine chance to win one of the many splendid prizes and handsome trophies, provided by General Motors and various company officials. These, of course, play a big part in creating interest in the big sporting event--Ilargest | "Industrial" 5-pin tournament in | the Dominion of Canada. rmteride---------- .
