Title match of the PBA's 1979 City of Roses Open. Tournament leader Mark Roth takes on Dennis Lane, who had won the first three matches of the championship round to advance to the final. One of those old Brunswick houses with the ball returns that extended nearly to the foul line, and Mark Roth pummels them with each shot on the right lane. (I actually used to bowl at this bowling center when I briefly lived in Portland in the early 1970s.) Originally telecast June 23, 1979 from Timber Lanes, Portland, OR. Frank Glieber on play-by-play. Dave Davis on color.

I remember if Roth, Holman, Aulby, or Anthony made the finals we were glued to the tv.. loved seeing Holman vs Roth back in the day you knew it was going to be a good show. Can't watch the stuff that's out there now though.

I miss everything about bowling in the 70's. My Columbia 300 white dot that was resurfaced a few times and a little on the small side :-). The older bowling lanes. My heros were all young and so was I.

Yes, it was a "bleeder" as they used to be known. Columbia 300 yellow dots. I know in this video it looks black, but it is really a deep dark red, so it probably is a yellow dot. I got to bowl with him in a pro am back in the late 1970s. Really a cool person and a great bowler.

Nice! Very cool seeing what bowling was like from the late 1970s! Very retro!

@BowlingOldies 3 жыл бұрын

Retro? Really? This video was showing what the future of bowling held. Mark Roth was the game's biggest disciple of the high-rev, "big hook" style that would come over a decade later once reactive resin came along. Roth is generally considered the father of the modern power game.

@@michaelh6743 (I'm also Mr. "BowlingOldies" who does this channel.) Since you and @Zacharias Siefker seem so enthralled with an earlier type of coverage of bowling, I suspect you might enjoy my other KZfaq channel, BrownswickBowling, which is where my KZfaq series PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR can be found. The show dates back to 2016, but since I moved from Atlanta to the Kansas City area, the show has taken on a more legitimate feel now that we're covering real-deal youth bowling tournaments that award scholarship prizes. Two new episodes each month. Here's one I think you would find especially fun to watch. The March KCO Points tournament: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip2igJiWtJu4YI0.html

My bowling days are long gone. I used an RC5 for my first 300 at age 18. At 25 I was averaging 209 with a Columbia white dot. My last year bowling on league 13 years ago I averaged 194. I was consistent. Meaning I didn’t shoot 250 130 180. I was more like 199 211 203. Biggest series 685. It was great. But I can’t now. To many herniated disc’s.

🤣 🤣 🤣 at this announcer. About the camera shot from the rear: "Just looks like a big 'ol....................jaw back there." Then he says, "just look at the 4-7 go straight back." Well, that would definitely be the only time I ever heard that in my life and I grew up in a bowling center.

@weevie833 12 жыл бұрын

Wow, I don't recall ever seeing Mark wrap around the ball that much. Can't tell the axis of rotation through the heads, but it looks a lot like a spinner. And what ball is that? Is that a really dark bleeder? I don't think the Angle was out yet, and I don't recall Mark throwing anything but Columbia. Also, anyone happen to know why the carmel white-dot was such a favored color, other than blue? I'd heard that the it was somehow different because of the pigment or something. I had a silver one.

What I find most interesting - probably true of a lot of old telecasts, but I noticed this time - the boys do NOT wipe the ball of oil between shots.

Some did. But there was not near as much oil on the lanes back then as there is now.

This was the first year I bowled in Junior League. I was 14. I'm still a bad bowler lol. My first year average was a 105. I had a 180 to 190 average when I was bowling Men's Leagues. I just started back bowling this year after a few years of not bowling and I have a 130ish average. I hope to improve my game as I keep bowling.

Lane's style (virtually straight) leaves no room for error, minimal carry; somewhat surprised he won a few tourneys but back in the 70s/early 80s the crankers were few & far between

@lumberlikwidator8863 2 жыл бұрын

Roth maybe using a black rubber ball here. Saw him use it from time to time back in the Seventies. The ball has that soft sheen and no swirl in the cover. BTW, I think I saw a young Lorrie Nichols in the stands.

Yeah - but I thought all the soaker stuff happened in pre-1975 days? The Sur-D was outlawed after the D-scale rule change (ca.1973). I know about the "bleeder" claims (the 9Q and OS yellow-dots, '79 and '80 respectively), but this tourney is in '79, and it's a white-dot. There were guys who swore by the carmel white-dot - might all be mental...
