Took Up Trundling When Gardening Got Strenuous VICTORIA (CP) -- If William Rowles isn't Canada's oldest bowler, he'd like to hear about it. He's 99 and although his age exceeds his average, he's ra- ther proud of the fact he's still able to bow! at all. He rolls a modest 77 average in fivepins once a week in a league that includes 40 other men and women whose average age is 71. He stands tall, blue eyes twinkling, as he prepares to de- liver the ball. He took up bowl- ing five years ago for recrea- tion when gardening became {00 strenuous for him. Two days after he celebrated his 99th birthday Jan. 21, he reg- istered in a bowling festival here to try to win himself a 12- day vacation to Jamaica. He didn't quite make it but he had fun trying. He attributes his health at least partly to an active out- door life. "IT was born in Castlecomb, Wiltshire, England, in 1864," he said, 'I started farming as a boy, delivered milk in London before coming to Canada in 1888 to settle in Hamiota, west of Brandon, Man., where I raised wheat' and cattle. We moved later, "Our farm was in Saskatche- wan near Empress, Alta., when I gave it away and came out to Vctoria to retire. My wife died here eight years ago at age 92," Mr. Rowles lives with hs daughter, Mrs, A. J. Chapman, in nearby Esquimalt. He has 12 grandchildren and 20 great- grandchildren. "As for my.health, I'm very well, I'm enjoying life. People talk about me living many more & years. I don't want that, but as long as I can get around on my own I'm happy. I dread being bedridden and having to be watched over. That's when I'd want to call it quits." SETS SWIM MARK . PERTH, Australia (AP) -- Satako Tanaka, the great Japa- nese swimmer, broke all listed women's records for the 220- yard and 200-metre backstroke with a time of two minutes 28.5 seconds in a special solo swim during the Australian cham- pionships Thursday night William Rowles gets a kiss and a medal describing him as '"'the world's greatest bowl- er" from admirer Bet ty Clarke.
