Last strike of Lichstein snares Open Associated Press SAN JOSE, Calif. With $10,000 riding on the shot, 21- year-old Larry Lichstein came through with a 10th- frame strike yesterday to take first place in the $75,000 Ebonite Open Bowling Tournament. Rookie of the year in 1969, the handsome left-hander Windsor Locks, went into his final turn in the nationally televised title game 5n a do or die situation. If he did anything but strike, he would finish second to defending champion Dave Davis, Miami, Fla. Davis already had taken his Hast shots and finished with a Lichstein stepped up on approach, went into his delivery, and buried the ball 4 in the pocket for the decisive strike and a 234 tally.

Lichstein started his title against Davis, winner if of 12 PGA crowns, with a 7 split and quickly fell 11 pins J. behind. By the sixth frame, his defi- cit was down to one pin, and then Lichstein tossed off five in a row, including his clutch strike in the 10th frame. Davis, who had Jed Pol-em- s' sky after the 40-game quali- tier, received $6,000 for his runnerup finish. i 300 game i for Maresca Tony Maresca popped a 300 game yesterday in Thunder: bird Lanes' regular Top Dog a but for the fourth straight week, the title went to Ron Springfield.

i 'CTURED-Uw Alcindor (Milwaukee £ucks). YOU SOMETIMES get the idea when talking with Wayne Zahn that he's bowling's answer to Arnold Palmer. Both are among the super stars of their respective sports and both are sharp businessmen. It's the latter of which I compare herewith. Both have invested shrewdly and wisely and are not dependent upon winning constantly on the rugged pro circuit.

Albeit Palmer has more money to work with than Zahn, the Tempe resident has done quite nicely, thank you. Now he has added yet another venture to his myriad of investments, one which has a very good chance of changing the shape of the game which made him famous. Zahn along with fellow pros Dick Ritger and At Thompson have come up with a surefire winner called Amateur Tournament Bowlers hereafter to be called ATBI. Briefly stated ATBI is an organization which will hold monthly handicap tournaments with guaranteed $1,000 first place. The tournament action is five games across 10 lanes with the standard handicap of 75 per cent of 200.

The first tournament is set for Tempe Bowl next month, with other tournaments scheduled for Papago Lanes in April, Thunderbird in May and Tucson's Cactus Bowl in June. Here's the way it works: A bowler joins ATBI for $25 a year dues and then pays $22 per tournament entry fee. All tournaments are sanctioned by ABC and the payoff will be one for seven, rather than the normal one for 10. Immediate payoff within 10 days is called for, in addition to high paying scratch payoffs for the better bowlers. "I really think it'll go real good here," said Zahn in between stops on the PBA winter tour.

"I think the ATBI will get proprietors pulling together because they can all benefit from the tournaments. "We're not holding them in one house and we're giving the proprietor business when he needs it the most. We plan to hold a tournament a month and our first few tournaments might suffer, but we've planned on that." ATBI is already set up in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Zahn heads up the Arizona operation with Ritger taking care of Wisconsin, Thompson heading the Ohio organization, Bill Schrock working Michigan and former Tucson bowler Pete Tountas running the show in Indiana and Illinois. This is something that bowling has needed for a long time, something to bring proprietors together, working for a common good their own and bowling.

Probably one of the biggest single obstacles that bowling has had to overcome is the inability of proprietors to work together. In many cases, and Phoenix is no exception, this problem has retarded the growth of bowling. Zahn was in town over the weekend, having failed to make the 16 man semifinals at San Jose's Ebonite Open. He finished 19th, behind 18th place Billy Hardwick and 17th place Nelson Burton Jr. The all finished behind 16 southpaws, who made up the finals and therein lies an interesting story, which may not be finished for several weeks.

According to Wayne, there were a number of lengthy discussions concerning the manner in which the tournament was conducted. As a member of the PBA tournament committee, Wayne indicated that a number of bowlers, including the top lefty, Dave Davis; wants to appear before the group. Davis was not happy with the conditions according to Zahn, as were most of the pros and the results of the tournament committee's hearing could provide some fireworks. But even with the seriousness of the problems, the pros found time for levity. Barry Asher, who has made three of the last four televised finals, calmly announced in the paddock, after failing to make the 16 man cut: "The Barry Asher show has been canceled this week."
