Keglers Attack Menasha


August 23, 1964, Green Bay Press-Gazette
Hey, do you remember that time a bunch of bowling alley rowdies descended on Menasha and created a fracas?  Of course not...that's what you have me here for...to introduce these weird stories!  The article above shows just how hard people will play out their emotions to gain something for their favorite sport, despite its tarnished reputation at the time.  I guess in 1919, people still thought bowling alleys were something akin to being an atmosphere of ill repute.  (It didn't seem to bother Menasha.)  Still, it makes for interesting reading about a time when there weren't so many recreational diversions.
