1981 Columbia 300 Open 

Fifth straight year earning >$100K for Roth? That's some nice change for that era. Really nice.

That was the quietest crowd I have ever heard. No cheering for a strike when the bolls were rolling towards the pin and very subdued clapping. Very tough conditions where it was a struggle to bowl 200.

These are outstanding additions to the RU-vid collection of classic bowling. Thank you for your time and effort to preserve these gems. BTW, you could leave the commercials in these if you would. They add an additional 'time tunnel' effect to watching these! Thanks again!

I appreciate it....some of the shows do have the commercials (which I think they're great as well), and some have them edited out. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for new "old" shows!

I always liked when Mark Roth and or Steve Cook were in the top 5.

Grew up bowling with Boysie. He made a lot of TV shows before retiring in 1983. Not every grade bowler from St Louis was a big name.

You're very welcome! I'm a student of the game as well....stay tuned for more.

These were still the glory days of Mark Roth. Huber's ball did not have the power of a Doug Kent.

Would love to see the Burton Brother's bowl one another.

sir, thank u for posting all of the videos. i use them to learn. am what people call a student of the game

Am I the only person who thinks Boysie Huber's style is reminiscent of Doug Kent?...although I suppose it's actually the other way around :)

Are Neil and Nelson related?

Great post, as always. You're a historian of a sort. Your a curator of sport bowling videos. You know, sport bowling... the game the USBC, the PBA, BPAA, and Tom Shannon are trying to kill.
