Bowling By Ralph Stice Gamacock Staff Writer With a membership of some 40 strong and two intercollegiate teams that last year ranked among the nation's elite, the USC Bowling Club definitely has the ball rolling this year. Even though intra-club league play has begun, new bowlers are still welcome to join, according to current club president Butch Nell. The club bowls on Monday and Thursday nights from 4-6 p.m. at the Star Lanes on Assembly Street in Columbia. A 10-team league bowls on Mondays while a 12-team league moves into action on ThursHav evenines Rach team consists of two Bowling Club members. LEAGUE PLAY is specially handicapped to make the teams competitively even. Those who bowl closest to their averages (or exceed them) win, regardless of how high that average may be. Averages of club participants ranee anvwhere from 80 to 195. "We're just out there for everybody to have a good time. You don't have to be an exceptional bowler to participate," Nell said. The cost of membership is $2.50 per week which covers three games, shoe rental, trophies, and a party at the end of the year. When asked wh\ he should recommend the club to interested bowlers, fivesemester member Alan Owens replied, "It's relatively cheap, it's convenient, and I think the com petition makes a person bowl better. Plus, if you're good you get a chance to bowl on the team." FOR THE MORE serious and talented bowlers, the club offers a program of intercollegiate competition. At the time of a designated match or tournament, the top six men and women bowlers make up the respective teams. The two teams (men's and women's) play in a conference that inuiuura oiA icdiua uuiii diiu South Carolina. Clemson, UNCCharlotte, Wofford, and The Citadel are among the conference c members. USC meets each team in the conference twice during the course of the schedule, which runs from October to April. Also on this year's schedule (pending sufficient funds) are tournaments in West Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. IN ADDITION to these contests, the teams will also hopefully compete in this year's Regionals. ii eiuier icain captures uit: Regional title, it will then journey to the Nationals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in late April. This year's team will have a tough act to follow. Last year, the men's squad was ranked 20th in the country. The women bowlers fared even better. They finished in the number 14 spot in the nation. USC's Jeff Bellinger won the men's NCAA individual title too. Hopes are running high for this year's women's team. The entire starting lineup remains intact from a squad Quit placed second in the regionals. Kelli Losey, Cheryl Bethmann, Ginny Creshaw, Taunda Suber, Sheila Silver, and last year's captain, Kathy K cieMedicis, make a formidable lineup of top bowlers. The team's averages range from 165 to 175.
