Bob Dellinger, sports editor of The Daily Oklahoman
and Oklahoma City Times, says that bowling, like any
sports item, must be judged in relation to all other news
of the day. We run a weekly story listing all the outstand-
ing individual performances and giving highlights of up-
coming events. Too, we try to carry an occasional gener-
al interest feature on bowling. The men’s city tournament
was covered by special arrangement with an official of
the city association and received almost exactly the same
coverage as the city medal play golf tournament and oth-
er events of similar stature.

I am sure you have heard this complaint before, but I
want to know what it takes to get some coverage for
bowling in your newspapers. I have lived in Oklahoma
for over 20 years and have been bowling for the past six
years, and the coverage of this sport is lousy in the sports j
section. I would venture to say that there are more peo-
ple in the state actively engaged in this sport than any
other, including golf, but we get less news of same than
any other sport. Does your sports editor have a grudge
against bowlers? The city tournament coverage was the
one the broke the camel’s back. E. M., Edmond.

Within 30 days the invad-

Masferrer, one of the 70

bitter at the United States
for stopping his foray
against Haiti, which also
ended his plans for fighting
Castro.
Many of his followers ob-
viously considered Haiti
only a stepping stone to
Cuba. -

"Do you really think

"Are you kidding?" was
the stock answer.
There was little different
about the opening day.
A few of the fixtures of
the past, like former
Speaker of the House J. D.
McCarty, weren't around.

"because it already is here,
and will be incredibly worse
when the southern leg of
Broadway is opened.
"But we can cut the delay
in solving it at least in half
by going ahead now with this
toll road idea.”
Commissioners cited three
reasons for immediate action
on the turnpike plan:
ONE — Immediate com-
pletion of the Broadway-
Shields Expressway is essen-
tial to the community.
TWO — Financing of this
$42 million facility by gener-
al obligation bonds "is im-
possible for the foreseeable
future."
said Oklahoma City has
joined in past years with the
county and state "in making
an enormous investment” in
constructing Shields Blvd,
and the Broadway Exten-
sion. which the proposed ex-
pressway would tie together.
"However, all these effort
and investments shall bear
only a token return to the
taxpayers of this county until
the missing links of this ex-
pressway have been provid-
ed.”
Trouble Ahead
The commissioners' letter
pointed out the section of
Broadway from NW 50 south
to NW 36-will be opened with-
in a few weeks, and said a
critical traffic problem that
already exists along NW 36
between Lincoln and Walker
would be greatly multiplied
"Our joint responsibilities
to the citizens of this metro-
politan area demand that we
created at NW 36 if we fail to
act promptly,” the letter
stated.
