IF the old saying is true that "practice 

 makes perfect," they must bowl out 

 in the corn rows in Ogle county 

 from the looks of the results of the 

 recent State Farm Bureau Bowling 

 Tournament held in Springfield. 



The pin-topplers from Ogle not only 

 took first in two team events but also 

 placed in six of the remaining seven 

 classes of competition. 



They took first in the Rural Youth 

 Boys' Team event with a total score of 

 2376 and first in the Rural Youth Girls' 

 Team competition with a total of 1898. 



Ogle also placed third in the Men's 

 Team event, third in the Women's Team, 

 third in Rural Youth Mixed Doubles, 

 fifth in Women's Singles, fourth in 

 Rural Youth Boys' Singles, and third in 

 Rural Youth Girls' Singles. 



Leo Deets of Ogle rolled a 608 series, 

 one of the only two over 600 rolled in 

 the tournament. Two other Ogle men 

 had single games of more than 200. 



The bowling tournament was held at 

 The Bowl in Springfield in connection 

 with the annual Illinois Farm Sports 

 Feftival. It was the first time the state 

 fiiuds of the bowling tournament were 

 held in Springfield. Competitive points 

 and participation points scored at Spring- 



field will be added to the totals of the 

 scores accumulated at the University of 

 Illinois when the Illinois Farm Sports 

 Festival will be held Aug. 25-26. 



It was decided to hold the bowling 

 tournament in Springfield this spring 

 because bowling is generally a cool 

 weather sport and players would be in 

 far better form in spring when they are 

 usually at the peak of performance than 

 they would be after a summer layoff 

 and under hot weather conditions. 



The 350 bowlers taking part in the 

 state tournament were the cream of 1500 

 entrants in county and district competi- 

 tion.
