Wine and Brock purchased the center from the Fair Lanes chain in late January. Since then, they have fixed a leaky roof and have installed mercury-vapor lights to brighten the parking lot. The most important thing, Wine said, was to fix the roof.

"They used to sit in here with buckets," he said. "When we told them bowlers we were going to fix the roof they cheered." Wine said more changes were coming in the next few months. "We want to get this place back in good shape," he said. Wine and Brock each own 50 percent of the bowling center. Both men are based in Columbus, Ohio, and are in Muncie about once a week.

Doreen Crouch is the man The first round must be completed by June 15. Entry forms and additional information is available at the Bowl-O-Mat. Entry fee is $4 for bowlers from leagues at the Bowl-O-Mat and $5 from bowlers at other local centers. The entry fee is charged for each of the first two rounds, which will be at the Bowl-O-Mat. There is no charge for people who qualify for the state semifinals, which will be in Fort Wayne, or the state finals, which will be in Indianapolis.

First-place prize is $1,000 for each of the men's and women's divisions. There is a total prize fund of $6,000. In each round, player will bowl four games and the best three, with handicap, will count. One of five entrants in each division will advance from the first round to the second round and from the second round to the state semifinals. A dozen bowlers in each division will advance to the state finals.

They might not work here, but we're going to try them." One thing Wine and Brock did was join the Indiana Bowling Proprietors Association. "We're the only house in Muncie that belongs," Wine said. Because ai that membership, Muncie bowlers are eligible to enter the IBPA Honor Award Tournament.

Men who have bowled a 225 or woman who have bowled a 200 are eligible to enter the tournament. The tournament already is in progress around the state and will begin immediately at the ager. Apart from the physical changes, the new owners and Crouch are planning events designed to broaden the appeal of the center.

Mackey said that hitting the ball from 10 feet against a concrete or brick wall would cause the ball to bounce once and roll back to you.

The tournament benefits the Indiana Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation.

The tournament is named for Sophie Goecker, who died in 1976 of systemic lupus erythematosus, a disease related to rheumatoid arthritis. Sophie was the sister of LPGA veteran Sandy Spuzich, who will play in the tournament. There will be a new format for this year's event. There will be two shotgun starts: 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

There will be a men's and women's division and teams will only have The MAC-COL can also be used outside and its benefits there would definitely make this duffer happy. Although other balls travel about 200 yards off the tee (with some exceptions), the MAC-COL ball only goes about half that distance. That's nice for guys who don't like chasing those darned little white balls forever. The ball doesn't have a cover, so it is hard to almost indestructible. "After a year or two, you just wash them off, and they're ready for the next two," Mackey said.

Mackey first stumbled on the idea for the ball in 1948 while teaching golf at Ohio State University. He noticed a golf coach using torn socks wrapped in tape for indoor practice balls. Mackey kept the idea in mind he moved to other college teaching positions until he came to Miami in 1957, where he met Colville. The two experimented with the ball, using different wrapping materials, including athletic stretch tape, to improve it.

Let Me Tell You 1 Oi I trt rr By BILL CHURCH For The Muncie Star Bill Conner comes up with a story that is newsworthy every once in a while. His latest involves two pair of Hoosier Honkers (geese) that have taken over the larger of his two farm ponds. It seems that one pair decided to nest in the area that includes the location where Bill puts out field corn as feed for those who need it (not just geese).

The other pair decided to nest near the same pond, and apparently the two pair have more or less divided the pond in half. That is fine until it is time to eat; they had a real donnybrook the other day. Bill is not sure how it will all end, but remains an interested observer. He also says a small flight of about 10 geese came in low the other day but were apparently warned off by the two pair. If someone should ask you, "What's big about fishing?" there are at least two answers.

One would be to recite the following list, which is self explanatory: According to governmental statisticians the following figures are reliable; swimming, 103 million; bicycling, 72 million; fishing, 60 million; bowling, 40 million; jogging, 35 million; Softball, 28 million; tennis, 25 million; golf, 17 million, and sailing, 10 million. Fishing is big when it comes to money as well; last year about $17 billion was spent for lodging, food, transportation, equipment, licenses, clothing, etc. In fact, the total spent on licenses amounted to $500 million. On the other hand, here's something else to use when you talk about how BIG fishing may be: here VS 15,96 SHAPE-UP SAVE-UP '-L 2' jfVKyA-. WOMEN'S.

A lot of you are aware that this is the year that the Wildlife Federation has chosen to concentrate on how important our soil is to us. One of the paragraphs I read this week states a fact in this way: "A layer of soil no theker than the width of a dime spread across an acre of farmland weighs about 5 tons. And that's all the amount of soil most American farmlands are able to replace, naturally." SUEDE JOGGER mance uiympian ainietic shoes tor all kinds of activities.
