Fodor) PITTSBURGH — The Association's 50th Anniversary Bowling Tournament and Scholarship Days proved to be "golden’ ’ days for our bowlers, as they recorded some of the highest scores in many years. The spotlight shown brightest on Gerry Huthansel of New York who set a tournament record in the women’s all events-handicap category with a total score of 1,889. Along the way she captured second place honors in the women’s handicap doubles and singles events. However, Ms. Huthansel’s actual all events score of 1,691 was second to the 1,717 rolled by Debbie Miller of Dayton. Ms. Miller’s actual score was the second highest in the tournament’s history, and her 615 in the singles events was the highest actual pin count in that event since 1961. Ms. Miller led the women of Dayton to one of the strongest showings ever by bowlers from a single branch. Out of eight prize categories, the women of Dayton captured five firsts, three seconds and six thirds. Dayton’s Fun Bunch won the women’s team event with a total of 2,561, while their sisters of the High Rollers took the actual team event title with 2,311 pins. Ms. Miller took first place in the singles handicap and actual and the actual all events category. Meanwhile, in the men’s division, Stanley Godzik of McKeesport, Pa., became one of the few bowlers ever to roll a 700 series in the tournament’s singles event. His 702 was good enough to capture first prize in both the actual and handicap singles. He also won the men’s handicap all events title with a score of2,060. In the team event, Parrotts Pub of Coraopolis, Pa., scored a handicap total of 3,231 to win that event. They were among seven teams to score 3,000 pins or more. And, for the fourth straight year, Toledo’s Finest was the tournament’s finest men’s team with an actual high score of 3,073. Other winners included Chicago’s Laslo Corba and Jozef Marocsik who won the men’s handicap doubles title with a score of 1,374. The actual doubles title was taken by Beryl Miller and Steve Jurich of Beaver Falls, Pa., with a score of 1,263. David Bodnar of Toledo rolled a 1,967 to win the men’s actual all events crown. Jacelyn Gorzo and Peg Beisler of McKeesport swept the women’s doubles event with high scores of 1,032 actual and 1,059 handicap.
