Mathews Charge Checked by Hall
Superb Event
Mathews Strings Nine
Forty-six players arrived in Virginia Beach from all
parts of the country to compete in the 1st Annual
Gibbs Billiards 9-Ball Shootout and share in the
$22,700
purse.
Denton
Gibbs, Jr.
produced,
sponsored, and hosted the major event and provided
every amenity possible for both the players and
spectators. Gibbs Billiards sweetened the pot by
$7,425 and stayed open 24 hours.
Grady Mathews lost his first match and lost his last
match, but strung nine victories in between! He
defeated
LeBron, Williams, Davenport, Vickery,
Parica, Mizerak, Reid, Sigel, and Strickland. It
looked like he was ready to take it all but it took
a Buddy Hall to stop the fueled charge. This was
Hall's first major win of '85 after finishing second
in both Ohio and Atlantic City earlier this year.
His .899 TPA is this year's highest recorded
tournament average.
The event charged a $325 entry fee, paid twenty-four
places and provided excellent conditions.
The
tournament arena featured four Gold Crowns with
bleachers running parallel. A restaurant was on the
premises serving food and drink.

NOTABLE MATCHES
Once again, as with each major tournament, we review the exciting matches worthy of note,
The number in parentheses is the player's TPA for that session.
Grady Mathews (.727) got off to a good start for
after winning the lag, he broke and ran out the
first two racks. David Howard (.908) then kept
Mathews busy by serving up balls that Grady was
forced to kick at. He defeated Mathews 11-3 and
held him to pocketing just four more balls for the
rest of the session. Note: Mathews proceeded to
win the next nine sessions in a row!
While trailing 9-10, Mike LeBron (.841) made the
nine ball on the break, but scratched. LeBron
still won that rack and at 10-10, he made the nine
ball on the break again, and scratched again! Jr.
Harris (.802) won 11-10.
Edgar White (.812) upended Steve Mizerak (.866) in
an 11-10 photo finish. As White made his charge
while behind 7-10, Mizerak missed one combination
and one bank, but it was just enough.
Paul Brienza (.820) won his first "wire" match of
the year over formidable Efren Reyes (.796),
Brienza had previously lost all five of his
sessions that were decided by one game.
Although he defeated Woody Woodhouse (.814) by an
11-5 margin, Bob Williaas (.861) had the dubious
distinction of scratching on the break four times
in a row.

Players' Preference
A p o l l was taken to f i n d out what b i l l i a r d c l o t h
touring
9-ball
professionals
preferred.
The
question that was posed t o each of the f o r t y - s i x
pros at the Gibbs Shootout was, "What b i l l i a r d
c l o t h would you prefer to play on i n tournaments?"
Simple enough, r i g h t ?
The responses were varied
with comments p r a i s i n g several types and brands
such as, "This c l o t h r o l l s more t r u e . " , or "This i s
the c l o t h that I am used t o and most confident
w i t h . " , or "This c l o t h i s easier to jump b a l l s
w i t h . " After a l l was said and done, the consensus
was twenty-five preferred Simonis while seventeen
preferred other c l o t h s o f various brands and
composition, and four did not respond at a l l .

The Gibbs Shootout produced fifteen
•900's, fourteen "wire" matches, and no
shutouts. Mike Sigel's .958 was the high
TPA for a single session. Earl Strickland won the "Run Outs from the Break"
category with 34.3%. David Howard ranked
#1 in the "Ball on the Break" stat
(80%),
but who's surprised?
Luther
Lassiter never scratched on the break
but for those with twenty or more break
shots, Allen Hopkins had the most controlled break scratching only once in
fifty-four breaks, 1.9% (9.4% was average). Paul Brienza made the nine ball on
the break 13.6% of the time (2.4% was
average).

What a rack! Larry Lisciotti (.732) and Jimmy Reid
(.901) volleyed for 21 turns during the session's
lsst rack before Reid finally scored and won 11-4.
In the most notable of "notable matches", Dave
Bollman (.800) and Rudolfo Luat (.863) were
knotted at 3-3. After a Luat kick, Bollman ran out
and then broke and ran out the next five racks
which would stsnd as the tournament high run! Two
racks later, Bollman led 10-4. Don't go away!
While Bollman experienced several unforeseen
events, Luat displayed some exceptional talent and
copped the win 11-10.

Even more incredible, Mike Gulyassy (.866) fell
victim to Terry Bell (.859) 11-10 in a session in
which Bell had the good fortune of making the nine
on the break four times including the case game!

won 11-6.
Charge Checked
(continued from page 2)
Grady Mathews (.913) continued his winning ways by
defeating Steve Mizerak (.793) after being down
4-6. Mathews won the next seven racks in which
Mizerak missed only one ball.
first break. The next time he stepped to the table,
Hall was ahead 3-0. After two more racks with
nothing for Mathews to capitalize on, it spread to
5-0. Finally, Mathews had several opportunities to
close the gap, yet missed seversl makeable shots
pushing the score to 8-1. Mathews then made a mild
drive and with the score 9-3 Hall finally started to
miss shots and position. This allowed Mathews to
score and close the gap even more. At 9-6, Mathews
scratched on the break again. It was to be his last
chance for survival as Hall ran out and controlled
the next rack with a safety and eventually won 11-6.
What's Next?
The 10th Annual U.S. Open will be featured in the

Norfolk, VA will host the event which is scheduled

Belinda
Crowned
WPBA Champ

coveted 7th Annual WPBA Championship 9-Ball Tournament nearly
coinciding with her most recent selection as the new President of the
WPBA.

Haywood, and Debbie Smith before falling victim to Haywood. That loss
was soon avenged as she captured the title, a trophy, a Huebler Cue,
and $2,100.00.
Linda Haywood made a magnificent showing by defeating top seeds
Ogonowski, Billing, Bell, and Bearden. In a seguence of events with
different opponents, Haywood actually won 19 consecutive racks of
9-ball, a heretofore unheard of accomplishment! Sy 4 Dolly Eckstadt's
Gold Crown Billiards generously hosted the $7,000 event.The
