Do you have friends that want to learn to bowl? Vir
tually every house has excellent instructors; however, one
of the most organized learning can be found at River Bowl.
Buddy Wheeler, Ray Swick
and Johnna Nordenson put on
a five-week “Learn to Bowl” i
program. There are four group
ings: junior (under 18), wom
en, men and seniors (over 55).
There are five films for each;
group. Shoes, films, practice
shadow bowling and refresh
ments are all “compliments of
the house.” The program, of
course, is geared to beginners,
but anyone is welcome.
Points of climax are being
reached in prize lists of various
leagues. It is my weary ex
perience and observation that
less thought and more bicker
ing is given to prize monies;
-than any other part of bowl
ing. Perhaps prize money:
should either be eliminated en
tirely or a set format for dis

Plans Under Way 1
To Greet Gordy i
In Rockville
By George Bragaw
Sports Editor
Cincinnati firstbaseman
Gordon Coleman will prob- ,
ably get back to Rockville ;
sometime next Tuesday, i
after the fortunes of the
Redlegs took an abrupt turn
for the worse Monday after
noon.
His performance in the classic
had obscured for a time the us
ual mid-season excitement of the
County’s football championship
race. However, swat-king Roger
Maris’s gamewinning blast Sat
urday afternoon seemed to press
a button and Cincinnati disap- *
peared.
Coleman, 26-year-old Richard (
Montgomery graduate, homered, j
hit four singles, and contrib- i
uted a sparkling unassisted dou
ble-play in the Series. i
Even his old school’s 27th <
straight victory—l o n g e s t 1
scholastic grid streak in the
Washington area—was dimmed
as Rockville fans watching the
Rockets down Bladensburg, 26-
12, carried transistor radios
and continually answered the
question: What’s Coleman -
done?”
Coleman’s Series batting aver
age is .250, not bad considering
that Cincinnati’s team average j
was under .190 and that the j
Reds have been shut out twice
in four games. In the first four
games Cincinnati managed to
solve the Yankee pitching for
only 24 hits and eight runs.
In Rockville plans are under
way for a parade to honor Gor-1
don’s home coming next week.
At this writing plans had not
been formalized since his return
date will depend on the length i
of the Series. Coleman told
Hank Miles, his old baseball
coach at Richard Montgomery
that he would come home about
four days after the series ended,
and the “Welcome Home Cole
man” group is working on that
basis.

and one by eight pins and then
lost one by almost 20 pins.
In the Washington All Star
League at Greenbelt, Oakland
Inn continued their margin of
five games over second place
Miller Furniture as each won j
two games. Old Colony Laundry
also won two, but did not gain
on the leaders.
Melton’s Congressional Plaza j
team moved into disputed first |
place in the MWBOA Minor
traveling league as they and
Fairlanes University each won
three. University is in second
place.
Ten Pin Plaza is still high in
both sets and garhes in the
Women's Traveling League with
2652 and 905. Carole Hankey
leads in individual set with 640.

Sport! Editor rrrrr ;
Gordon Coleman rode up Yorktown rd. in
Cincinnati a bit after six Monday night. He
wasn’t feeling so good.
He slipped up quietly into his apartment
and asked his wife for a couple of aspirins.
He sloshed them down and went to bed. It
had been a long season. Especially those last
three days.
“We didn’t say a word to hint,” his
wife Marian told a caller at nine o’clock.
“He Just came in. asked for a couple
of aspirins and went to his room and went
to bed. We didn’t say a word to him.”
“He has the flu, you know." We didn’t.
“Yes, he has had it since the other night
(Saturday) and he was awful tired when he
came home from the game. He didn’t say
anything about losing the World Series.”
So it ended. The dramatic run of the Cm
cinnati Reds to capture the National League
flag after 22 years: two aspirin, a glass of
water, and a check that comes later.
A printer callously suggested that Cole
man and the entire Cincinnati team might have
caught the flu from the breeze created by
Whitey Ford’s fast balls.
Gordon didn’t do badly. He batted near
ly .250 for the series, much better than most
of the Reds and far better than the team
average. If Gordy didn't hit, then neither
did the other Cincinnatians as • the
Mantle-less Yankees didn’t blow this one
as they had last season against Pittsburgh.

In all, Coleman’s rookie year was good.
He batted .287 with 26 homers and 87 RBl’s,
played In the World Series and collected an
extra five grand for a week’s work. Already j
he’s worried about income taxes.

Jim Lecompte comes homes again Satur
day when his University of North Carolina
team plays nationally-rated Maryland at that
latest in the series of Byrd Stadiums.
Jim, who captained Gaithersburg in
football and basketball four years back. Is
rated as one of the top guards in the
Atlantic Coast Conference. He’ll he in there
plugging Saturday against the school
which hardly thought he was worth a
look see.
Ironically, Tommy Brown and Kenny
Smith who got most of the headlines when
Jim was at Gaithersburg will be riding the
bench for Maryland.
Tommy can’t seem to shake off a knee in
jury which he picked up playing in a starting
halfback role in his sophomore year. Tom
Nugent can’t seem to find a place on his
team for Smith, the biggest Montgomery
County high school star in the pre-Mike Cur
tis days. Kenny falls into that slot of being
too small for a fullback and not fast enough
for a halfback.
Another Bethesda boy, Terry Billingsly,
who had a tough time making the first team
at B-CC is playing second string for the Terps.

Sunday, October 1, Mr. and
Mrs. William Cobert of Whea
ton were given a lesson in the
art of catching Mr. Rockflsh.
Thirteen year old daughter, Jo
Anna, really put it on them.
Fishing an oddball bait made
with green hair and a black
head Jo Anna showed her folks
how it should be done by boat
ing most of the twenty-two nice
rock and blues that they caught.
Wednesday, September 27,
we went to The Hill looking for
the big rock. We shot a blank.
Friday, the 29th we went back
to the Hill, still looking for the
first big rockfish of the fall
season. We shot another blank.
Monday, October 2, despite a
northeaster, with Mr. Walt Co
bak of Silver Spring we again
went back to The Hill.
We didn’t find any good fish,
but we did manage to scrape up i
nineteen pan rock. Tuesday
and Wednesday it blew a living
gale and fishing came to a com
plete standstill. Thursday, Oc
tober 5, with Mr. Henry Dietle
of Silver Spring we were await
ing again at dawn on The Hill.
This time we were not disap
pointed. The good rockfish
I were scattered but they were
here. We caught twenty-two
fish, five of them good rock.
These fish bit on the Fairbanks
Sharkey, and the Baltimore all
white bucktail.
We went back later on that
same evening, and although we
could see plenty of fish on the
fathometer, we could not get
them to bite. We did catch two
more good fish and lost anoth
er. The total catch of big rock
fish for the day was seven.
Captain Freddie Abner who
runs the Netty J. out of Chesa
peake Beach was coming home
across the Bay after fishing up
in the Choptank River Thurs
day, October 5. He decided to
make one pass over the Stone
Rock since it was right on his
way home. Just before the
edge of dark he pulled up on
| the mark, and every line on his
boat went off. It was the big
rockfish here also. So there you
have it—the fish are following
their usual habits and from
here on out it will get better
every day. It has been a long
poor summer for the rockfish
ermen, but at last his time of
the year is here.
