Glen Mazer achieved a goal every
‘bowler dreams of last Friday night
at Bonomo’s Sports Center in
Dallas. Mazer, who bowls on the
Sweet Valley Outfitters team with
his twin brother, Gary, rolled a
perfect 300 game and at the same
time, achieved his first 700 series
which has been his ambition since
he first started bowling seven years
ago.
“I never thought about a perfect
game,” said Mazer. “I rolled 193
the first game and 242 the second so
I figured I had a good chance of
hitting a 700 series. My first six
strikes came easy, I’ve never had
more than six in a row until tonight.
I said to my brother, Gary, ‘If I get
a strike in the seventh and eighth
frame I believe I can go all the
way.”
Glen said his twin brother and
Rich Bonomo were his best support
in his achievement. He said he and
Gary always talk a lot to each other
while bowling but in his third game
Friday night, Gary sat back silently
and never said a word till the last
frame when he said, ‘“O.K. Glen”.
R. Bonomo, also on the same team
with the Mazers also sat quietly
andthey let Glen keep score except
when he bowled, then Gary marked
in his brother’s score.
“I have often talked about perfect
games with my mother,” said Glen,
“But when I told her I bolwed a 300
she said ‘I know you can do better’,
how much ‘better can I do-two
300’s?”’
Mazer said he doesn’t take the
credit for the 300 game, that the
credit belongs to all the loyal bow-
lers who have stayed with Bonomo’s
Sports Center rather than criticizing
the lanes and going somewhere else.
For the record, the ABC official
who came out to check the lanes
and pins stated that Bonomo’s lane-
sare the truest lanes in the area and
the pins are the heaviest.
Glen bowled the 300 on lanes 15
and 16, his two favorite lanes. He
said every ball was in the pocket
but the last one. Onthe last one the
ball was off the-pocket and left two
pins but suddenly they went over.
“Believe me I looked up to God on
that last one,” said Glen.
Mazer had 24 strikes in his 735
series, 12 in the third game, eight in
his second game and four in the
first and he had one open frame for
the series.
He expressed his appreciation to all
the bowlers and onlookers, who kept
quiet until Glen let go of the last
ball, then they all roared.
A dedicated bowler, Glen said ‘I
was in the right place at the right
rolled the 300 in the Friday night
league and that the two bolwers,
who had the only other 300 games at
Bonomo’s Sports Center, were
there. These two men were Charles
Wiliams, who once hit 300 in a
practice game when the lanes were
owned by Robert Hanson; and
Donald Purvin, the only other man
to hit 300 in league competition on
Jan. 17, 1966. They were sitting on
Mazer’s left.
Mazer also gives credit to his
brother, Gary, whom he says is a
better and more scientific . bowler
than he (Glen) is. Glen said his
brother has helped him a great deal
and that he knows it is only a
matter of time until Gary rolls a 300
game.
And to make certain that he got
the 300 out of his stystem, Glen was
at Bonomo’s Sports Center, Satur-
day afternoon, to bowl. His first
practice game--235.
after finishing a perfect 300
game, only the second perfect
game rolled in league play at
Bonomo's in 19 years. (Photo
