A pair of 300 games were bowled according to league results submitted to the Tribune-Star this week. One was a ho hum, the other gave me quite a start.

The “ho hum” belongs to Ryan Nichols, who rolled a 300 game in the The Bush league at Vigo Bowl. If you recall, Nichols bested Dave Paulin in a roll-off to win the New Year’s Day Sweeper at the Bowling Center on, you guessed it, Jan. 1.

Nichols also paced the Davison Service and Equipment league with a 279 last week as well.

The “start” comes from seeing veteran bowler Herb Gosnell, who I bowled with on a men’s league team in a faraway galaxy a long, long time ago, fired a 300 game in the Baesler’s Market Senior, also at Vigo Bowl. I have no basis in fact, but I wonder if Herb is the oldest local bowler to roll a 300 game? Congratulations, Herb. I miss you toting the scorebook at Terre Haute South softball games.

Another flash from the past name I came across in the league results belongs a former Garfield basketball player from the early 1970s. Les King rolled a 769 series in The Bush league.

In PBA news, Patrick Allen will be going for his second straight PBA Tour victory in the Earl Anthony Classic at Medford, Ore. today. Allen won the National Bowling Stadium Championship in Reno, Nev. last week. Joining Allen in the televised finals (1 p.m. on ESPN) are Wes Malott, Tommy Jones and Bill O’Neill.

Earning the top seed heading into match play was Ronnie Russell of Indianapolis, a former Vincennes University bowler. But a 7-11 match play record pushed him down to a 12th-place finish, earning him $2,700.

The final PBA Women’s Series event of the season will also be part of the telecast. Wendy Macpherson will oppose Stefanie Nation in the championship match.
