Shuffleboard Extravaganza Ends In Rain Ended Season
In a crowded Mayhem at Fifth and Donnelly on April 29 the Eustis and Mount Dora shuffle clubs staged a mixed doubles bout on 17 courts. Cousin Tom Potts and Judge Willmott led the Mount Dora defense against Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Husti of Eustis as both sides traded shots with sharp accuracy before the masculine side prevailed in the two games. Rain ended the evening early and the season closes with hog killing time ahead.
