It turned out to be "Pete Weber's Week" as the son of Hall of Famer Dick Weber eked out an emotional 176-170 victory over Art Trask, in the finals of the PBA's oldest tournament stop. Inspired by his dad's victory in this event in 1963 (worth $3,000), leading qualifier Weber found himself In a dogfight with Trask, but collected $33,000 for his first victory from the top-seeded position in six tries and his fifth PBA title. In the first match, Marshall Holman brought the huge crowd to its feet as he rolled a 279-198 victory over Guppy Troup. Holman went downhill almost as fast as he had soared previously in his next game against Trask, who then ousted Holman, 212-184. Trask then measured Joe Hutchinson, 224-208, to set the stage, for the title match. Weber nursed a slight lead into the fifth frame, when his thumb slipped out of the ball and it dropped Into the channel. The six-pin spare count left him trailing Trask into the 10th frame, when Weber made the most important double of my life," and put the pressure on Trask, who needed a double, but left a 10-pin after notching a first strike.
