News from all over - Nashville

Jim Cripps is turning his back on bowling and doing better than ever. He decided to try backwards bowling as a joke and got a strike. Now, that's the only the way he bowls. Cripps faces away from the pins and steps back before he lets the ball go.

The Nashville area cell phone and real estate salesman says he averages 184. He recently rolled a career-high 279 in a game that included eleven consecutive strikes. He tells the Tennessean that finding a place to bowl can be tough. He says some alley operators think he's mocking the game.
