Billick joins his old friend and rival
Frank Clause in the Hall of Fame. George comes in with well over a
hundred 700 series as well as four 800 sets and for many years was the
national leader in the number of career 300 games -a total of 17. His
high season average was a 223 and even now he carries a 190 average
while rolling in three leagues a week. He holds two P.S.B.A.
Championships both in the team event, the first came in 1947 and the
second in 1951. George has the honor to have been elected to both the
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre Bowling Hall of Fame and was nominated for
consideration in Pennsylvania State Bowling Hall of Fame by three
separate associations; Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Mid-Valley. Billick,
a retired railroad man has met the best in his day and always came away
proud. In addition to his performances on the lanes he also was on the
Brunswick advisory staff.

Bud is one of the young tigers of the
game. Currently he is the Federation Internationale des Quilleur World
champion by virtue of his all-events title won in London in 1975. In
this competition in addition to the all-events title which he won by
averaging 207 for 28 games, he won a silver medal for second place in
five man competition and a bronze for third place in doubles. On the
international front Bud also captured the all-events title in the 1966
Canadian-U.S.A. Friendship match. His first bowling title came in 1956
when he won the singles crown in the Lebanon Association tournament and
was followed by the ABC team title in 1968 as a member of Dave's Auto
Supply and the team all-events title in 1970 as a member of the ABC
East Lanes team. Stoudt who started bowling as a pin boy in Lebanon is
now considered one of the best three non-pro bowlers in the nation. He
has ranked third for the past ten years in average in the ABC
tournaments, being outranked by two of the pros. Because of the fact
that he is the World Champion Bud will be unable to attend tonight's
affair as he will be representing the U.S.A. in the 15th Tournament of
Americas held in Miami starting tomorrow morning. |
