Second Sweep For Elizabeth; Munn Scores

{Writen in the Elizabeth Daily Journal}

Elizabeth found itself in the bowling spotlight yesterday, with the local Elks scoring their second sweep to take the lead in the Central New Jersey Elks League and Whitey Munn marking his return to competition by scoring a 199- pin victory over Andy Varipapa in a twenty-game series.

Munn piled up a commanding 297-pin lead in the first ten-game block Saturday night at his Centre Recreation alleys and had little trouble coasting to victory, although Varipapa won by ninety-eight pins in last night's wind-up at the trick shot artist's Hempstead, L.I., alleys.

Munn Averages 246.4.

Munn, who opens a forty-game struggle with Marty Cassio of Rahway at the Centre lanes next Saturday night, proved that a years layoff has not affected his game by turning in a sparkling average of 246.4 Saturday. Whitey was under 200 only once- a 193 in the fifth game- and folloed with a brilliant barrage to wind up with 222,286, 279, 256 and 256. A spare in the first frame cost him a 300 in the seventh. He finished the game with eleven straight strikes for 286.

Varipapa, whose best game Saturday was a 259, put on a belated flurry toward the end of last nights encounter, but was too far in arrears to threaten to any great extent. he shot 235 in the sixth and followed it with 246 and 232 to pick up 115 pins in those three games.

Munn then came back to shoot 244 in the ninth- his best of the night.
