'nai B'rith bowlers are
mourning the death of fel-
low bowler Andy Rubin,
who passed away Oct. 11 at age 56
after suffering a heart attack during a
Pisgah/Zeiger League night Sept. 25 at
Country Lanes in Farmington Hills.
"Andy was a
great bowler ... very
competitive said
longtime competi-
tor and teammate
Keith Kingston.
"And he always had a
good time. He made
friends wherever he
Andy Rubin
went:"
Kingston designed a Web site
(rubin.mrbowling300.com) that details
Rubin's bowling accomplishments.
"From the feedback I've gotten, it's
obvious Andy touched a lot of lives:'
Kingston said.
It was a comfort for Pisgah/Zeiger
League President Lyle Schaefer.
"Although the Web site is a tribute
primarily to Andy's bowling, he was
much more than a great bowler, golfer
and softball player. He was a dear
friend," Schaefer said.
Also see a tribute at the Brotherhood/
Eddie Jacobson League Web site,
wwwbrotherhood-eddiejacobson.com .
Rubin threw nine 300 games in his
bowling career, all at Country Lanes.
Each time he started a game with 11
strikes, he achieved perfection.
The Farmington Hills resident also
had four 800 series, all at Country
Lanes; two were in back-to-back weeks.
He rolled his last 300 game and 800
series less than a year ago, Dec. 4, 2007.
"I've never seen anyone who could
stay in a zone like Andy could:'
Kingston said.
Last season, Rubin averaged 226 in 75
games in the Pisgah/Zeiger League, and
220 in 87 games in the University Men's
League. He and Kingston were team-
mates five years in the lattter league.
Back in 2006, the five-man team
rolled 1296, an average of 259 per
bowler. "That might be the highest
game ever rolled by a five-man team
of Jewish bowlers:' Kingston said.
Rubin led the way with 300. Lee
Roth had 258, Dennis Eder and
Kingston each had 257, and Larry
Stutzsky had 224.
Pisgah/Zeiger bowlers Barry
Fishman and Jerry Blaize did CPR
on Rubin after he was stricken.
"Great bowlers never die. They just
fade away;' said Fishman, who bowled
with and against Rubin for 20 years.
Panthers Roar
It was a successful summer for the
North Farmington West Bloomfield
9U tournament baseball team. The
Panthers - who had a Jewish manag-
er, two Jewish coaches and five Jewish
players - went 12-4 in three tourna-
ments. Two of their four losses were by
one run in semifinal games.
Besides winning the Oxford Wildcat
Late Summer Slam Tournament, the
Panthers finished second in the NFWB
tournament and third in the Thorn
Apple Valley tournament in Ada.
The team's manager was former
North Farmington High School
and University of Michigan football
star Jeff Cohen, a member of the
Michigan Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
Brigham Narins and Kevin Taylor
were on the Panthers' coaching staff.
The Jewish players were Zach
Collen, Jake Cohen, Graham Narins,
Matt Pantelic and Jacob Taylor.
Kevin Taylor said they drew praise
in Oxford: "After the championship
game, umpires and tournament officials
complimented us on how well the kids
were coached, how well they played and
what sportsmanship they showed."

•The Indiana High School Athletic
Association created a stir when it
refused to change the scheduling of
the first day of the boys soccer sec-
tionals, which fell on Yom Kippur.
"Trying to get around every holiday
for every religion in our scheduling
would be problematic:' said associate
commissioner Theresia Wynns.
• Pole vaulter Jillian Schwartz, cous-
in of West Bloomfield resident Carolyn
Iwrey, competed in the Beijing
Olympics (as well as Athens in 2004). A
native of Evanston; Ill., she was a three-
time All-American at Duke. ❑
