Powerglide cues come on the market.
Steve Davis wins London and Home Counties Billiards by defeating N J Rahim by 629 to 546 to enter the Competition Proper and meet Bob Close in the last 16 of the Eng. Am., a match that Davis eventually lost by 1488 to 1033. It is noted that Davis had had much coaching by Jack Karnehm before moving on to an alternative sport. What a loss.
The wife of Herbert Beetham, Maude Beetham has died after a short illness.
Bob Close wins the Eng. Am defeating J Sinclair in the semis. Clive Everton defeated Norman Dagley in the second semi. Close then defeated Everton in the final by 2413 to 2194. Close had two double centuries and two singles, while Everton had one double and two singles.
The Hustler range of mahogany cues case available from a Company in Leeds, the source of my case, solid mahogany. Lasts a lifetime.
George Ganim Jnr. wins the Australian Championship in Adelaide, defeating Frank Harris from NSW. The High break was a 278 to young George.
Geza Gazdag wins a match in the Bradford Championship with a break of 232 in 300 up, a break which consisted almost entirely of Cannons.
Chris Ross wins the Eng. Am. Snooker. Chris was a long time Billiards sparring partner with me (Jerry Conba) at the Woking Snooker Centre in Surrey. I got regularly battered twice a week for over 10 years before my skill or his age caught up with us. A man well remembered for his classy style. He used to practise with Jack Karnehm and as he said spent endless hours fetching the cue ball back to Jack as Jack’s hazard game rolled on endlessly.
Dagley defeats Close in the CIU final by 990 to 748
Steve Davis defeats Ian Williamson in the Boys Junior British Title by 435 to 259, relying heavily on pot reds as a basis for his victory.
Rex Williams retains his World Title by defeating Eddie Charlton by 9105 to 5149 in a week’s match over 12 sessions. Williams had one 500+, 2 triples, and 9 doubles in the match, while Charlton could only muster one triple and two doubles. Williams averaged 43.1 and Charlton 23.9 for the match.
The Nuneaton Snooker Centre opens. Does the Club still have those Starline tables now?
It is said that a man called John Hyatt discovered an alternative compound, other than ivory for making billiard balls. Unfortunately it had the propensity to give off a loud bang when two balls collided. Mr Hyatt then received a communication from a billiard proprietor in a Colorado Billiard saloon who complained that everyone in his billiard room reached for their guns when such a noise went off. Edward Diggle eat your heart out!!
