OGLE COUNTY 

 Tops Bowlers! 



Wins Tivo Firsts In Team Events 

 And Places in Six Other Classes 



I' tile old saying is true that piactii.c 

 makes pertei-t,' they must howl out 

 in the corn rows in Ot;le county 

 from the looks of the results of the 

 recent State Farm Bureau Bowling' 

 Tournament held in Sprin^ticid. 



The pin-toppiers from Ogle not only 

 took tirst m two team events but also 

 placed in six of the remaining seven 

 classes of competition. 



Thcy took first in the Rural Youth 

 Boys' Team event witli a total score of 

 23'^6 and first in the Rural .'^'outh Girls' 

 Team competition with a total of 1898. 



Ogle also plated third in the Men's 

 Team event, third in the Women's Team, 

 third in Rural Youth Mixed Doubles, 

 fifth in Women s Singles, fourtli 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 6(X) rolled in 

 the tournament. Two other Ogle men 

 had single games of more than 200. 



The bowling tournament was held at 

 The liowl in Springfield in connection 

 with the annual Illinois Farm Sports 

 Festival. It was the first time the state 

 finals of the bowling tournament were 

 held in Springfield. Competitive points 

 and participation points scored at Spring- 



field will be added to the totals ot the 

 scores accumulated at the University ot 

 Illinois when the Illinois l-'arm Sports 

 Festival will be held Aug. 2->-2h. 



It was decided to hold the bowling 

 tournament in Springtield 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 performame than 

 they would be after a summer iavotf 

 and under hot weather conditions. 



The .^'50 bowlers taking part in the 

 state tournament were the <.rcam ot 1 *!()()
