Bill Bryant
Huntsville Times
"He realized quickly that he was on Wednesday night. He liked the reaction the new Ebonite ball took to the lane. The strikes were coming often and with ease. Moments after he rolled the last ball of the 10th frame, Ware's 67th career sanctioned 300 game was in the books."
