    Default Bowling Time - Game Show 1950's

    An episode of a syndicated bowling show from the mid-1950s.

    They are using The Petersen Point System here.

    Interesting tidbit they tell is how Joe Brown was carrying an average of 221 back then.



    The National League of Bowling was part of the “Bowling Time” TV show. Each week, star bowlers representing different cities bowled two-game matches. Filming was done at Fairview Lanes in Cleveland, with Sam Levine at the microphone.


    (L-R) Carmen Salvino (Chicago), Johnny King (Cleveland), Pete Treybig (Houston), Foy Belcher (Los Angeles), Jack Aydelotte (Minneapolis), Dick Weber (St. Louis), Tony Lindemann (Detroit), Joe Brown (New York)
