Sunday bowling now in ninth season
by K. D. Mahnal
The North Coast Bowling Association's (NCBA's) Sunday League has rolled into its ninth season. More than 200 keglers participate in league play at 1:00 p.m. at Ambassador-Superior Lanes, 1500 Superior Avenue.
Founded in 1980, the NCBA began the league with 20 teams, and now has 30 teams. Each team has seven members (five bowlers and two alternates). The seven-member teams allow for bowler absenteeism during the 32-week season. The teams, which consist of both men and women keglers, are either self-sponsored or sponsored by gay-oriented busi-
nesses.
The league is divided into four divisions through a lottery process. This sets up the first half and end of season championships between division winners, NCBA operates the league on an 80 percent handicap scoring system. When a lower-averaged team bowls against a stronger team, they receive 80 percent of the pin total that separates the two teams. All handicap statistics are determined by this process. The league also maintains scores by the scratch system; no handicap totals are added.

ROTTEN. I SEEM TO BE LOSING
MY TOUCH.
NO LURID TALES OF SEDUCTION FOR ME THIS TIME?
by K. D. Mahnal
The Ladies' Touch Football League has ended its fall season with ALT+1 as league champs.
ALT+1 cimed the championship on October 29 with a 36-0 shellacking of Axxion's. Axxion's never got on track, as the ALT +1 team stopped every drive with superb defense, forcing numerous
turnovers.
Not to be outplayed by the defense, ALT+1's offense exploded, scoring twelve unanswered points with less than two minutes left in the first half. Under league rules, a five-play series is initiated with two minutes remaining in the second and fourth quarters. The offensive team has five plays to score from their opponents 45-yard line. ALT+1 took full advantage of this rule, scoring on their second play, but missed the extra point. With three plays remaining, ALT+1 punched in another score to take a commanding 24-0 half-time lead. Axxion's defense bounced back in the second half by playing more aggressively, but the offense could not get on track to score. ALT+1 scored twice in the

second half, with the final touchdown coming in the waning moments of the game.
Individual awards were presented at the November 4 banquet, held at 5-Cent Decision. Laura F. of ALT+1 received the award for outstanding quarterback, with 69 completed passes for 744 yards, 10 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Laura also had 133 yards rushing, scoring six touchdowns and one extra point. Sherry Innes of Mr. Morrison's took top defensive honors with 20 quarterback sacks. Kim P. of Axxion's was the league's best receiver with 20 catches for 267 yards, one touchdown, and three extra points. ▼
