Tompkins bowls 300 game with new ball to set Kwaj record By Peter Rejcek Associate Editor One new ball. One new record. John Tompkins unwrapped a new bowling ball and used it for the first time on Aug. 22 for a strike. Well, 12 of them in a row. That’s a perfect game of 300 — reputedly the first time such a feat has been accomplished at Kwajalein. “I like that ball,” he said of the 16-pounder. Bob Carter, friend and fellow bowler, who ordered the ball for Tompkins, told him, “You’ll un- wrap it and bowl 300.” A network engineer in Infor- mation Technology, Tompkins competed on the semi-pro level (Photo by Peter Rejcek) stateside.
