EVENT HAPPENINGS 

 

              "Trooper" Tom Varnell  lost his second game of the night by only one point to "Captain Jack" Stemmer which killed his hopes for a grand slam. He did recover to win all the rest of his games to complete his 16 Pt. 8 W 122 Spread Card for first place money.

 

      Pat "Driller" Jungmann scored the only other points tonight but wasn't able to put together any kind of a winning streak even getting skunked by "Saweet Johnny" Hensley in his game seven but still managed to pull out a 12 Pt. 6 W 13 Spread Card for second place cash.

 

     Dick "The Grumbler" Taylor started out winning his first two games but then bounced back and forth losing and winning before skunking  "Farmer" Jim Harpe in his game five while completing his 11 Pt. 5 W 13 Spread Card for third place money but no points.
