That was a hell of a comeback for Ritger. It's great watching these old strokers go head to head.

Yeesh, I forgot how bad the 70s were for fashion. Weber's belt looks like it belongs on Batman. lol

I remember watching these shows with my dad when I was a kid. He loved Weber (bowled with him once), and he idolized Earl.

I started bowling in 1969 and Dick Weber was the first star I read about. This was the first time I got see him bowl. Can you get some video of '71 Cougar Open? I beleive the finals were held in Madison Square Gardens on two AMF lanes. I think Patraglia and Don Johnson bowled for the title. Thanks for the videos.

Really cool vid. I attended Dick Ritger's bowling camp a few times many years ago. Really nice guy and a great teacher of the game.
