    I’m watching this again, and I think I see Rita Moreno and Barbara Billingsley sitting back to back to the right of Ray Orf at 19:00. Rita was famous for her performance in West Side Story and Barbara was infamous for saying “Ward, don’t you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?”

    This is real bowling. No hook in the box balls here. 100% skill

    Isabelle is looking good as always.... Jack Buck was a 9th Inf Div Vet in WWII and was wounded near the Bridge of Remagen.

      I think they moved the cameras a bit so you could see more of Isabelle and her pretty legs. Too bad this was just a few years before the mini-skirt craze started.

    Bowling and golf are similar in that equipment has made scoring a lot easier than it was 50 years ago. Some people like the changes, some don't. Who is right? Everybody. Each of us has the right to express our opinion. Personally, I'd like to see Legacy leagues where only rubber or plastic balls are allowed. That would provide a place for people who don't want to spend $1000 annually on equipment and lug 6-8 balls to the bowling alley.

    Ray Orf had an 890 series denied to him by the ABC, much like Glenn Allison did with his 900. Now they sanction 900 sets without even inspecting the lanes! Bowled with a Brunswick Black Beauty, conventional grip.

      Yep, Ray Off was a fine bowler. And as I remember, Barry Asher thought so much of Orf's approach as a kid he fashioned his own after it.

      Feb. of 1972. What rubber balls do you know of besides 3-dot, AMFLite, LT-48, Tru Trac, Black Beauty, Maxim IV (Ebonite), Don Carter (Ebonite), Magnums, and XL-5?

      Ripley and Jubilere were also very popular in those days.

    I can't believe how tough the alleys were back then Marlboro was one of the first bowling alleys that would have a oiling machine for the lanes in fact they said that the oil was set up to make it easier to get better pin scores but this turn event everything had to be perfect by the ABC rules

    I bought my first urethane ball from Ray Orf himself in St. Louis. A black Hammer (Faball). Wish I still had it.

    Back when bowling was legit, and still known as the "gentleman's game". Sad what's happened to this once great sport.

    Steve Nagy bowled what I believe was the second 300 ever on a televised match.

    I do recollect watching this match as a kid. The bowlers were gracious, and the vibes good despite the poor bowling. Did Mr. Orf ever have any success in the sport? Early signs of multiculturalism was the segment given to the handicapped- and the idea of affirmation rather than denial, and the presence, I believe, of a woman of African American descent seated very close to the set tee area.

      Ray Orf opened a bowling supply and trophy shop in St. Louis. It's still around, with a staff that includes his son and grandson.

      these were the days when anybody and everybody wasn't able to average 250. House shots that you're talking about wasn't a thing back then. If anything the USBC should be fired for implementing those

      @@drummachine434 I agree totally. The THS is a joke and there are a lot of so-called 220 average bowlers who’d do even worse than Nagy and Orf did on this pair. That’s what has happened to bowling since the introduction of urethane and resin balls. “Wha, wha, wha, Mommy, I want the lane guy fired!” How about if you don’t like your scores, bowl better.
