0:36 Jeez! You didn't see that back then every day, either! Payback for his messenger trip 4, I think.

Must've had a lane break down..

Bowling on adjacent lanes rather than a pair...

@thiswilldoblue This being 1962, which I believe was the very first year ABC began telecasting Pro Bowler's Tour, it's clear that they didn't yet have it down to a science. My hunch is that they chose these two lanes NOT because of a lane breakdown, but rather, because of the type of ball return. Those old over-ground ball returns blocked the camera's view of the left lane of a "pair" of lanes (odd numbered lane). By using lanes 14-15, the camera had a clear shot of the bowlers on both lanes.
