W urlitzer Basketball Team
That W urlitzer workers can do something besides make phonographs is
evident by the record of their basketball team in the Tonawanda Indus
trial League. Champs for the second consecutive year, the W urlitzer Team
has lost but two games in two seasons. Composed of foi'iner scholastic and
semi-pro stars this aggregation is as colorful and brilluvnt in action as
are the W urlitzer Automatic Phonographs they help build when off the
basketball courts! Standing (left to rig h t)— Coach Mike Io n a Joe Mor-
retto, Andy Syposs, Ken Towers, Sam Sheldon, Woody Malone, G. E. Diel,
promoter. Seated. Jack Thom, Ken Burlak, Gus Toth, Jim Vona.
Bally Announces
New Game Trio
Announcing the three newest Bally
games, Jim Buckley, general sales
manager of Bally Mfg. Company,
stated that the machines were de
signed to fit into Bally’s balanced
line policy.
“Following up the sensational suc
cess of Fifth Inning and Spottem,
Jim said, “Bally now presents Double
Feature and Chevron to insure a con
tinuation of the big earnings enjoyed
by Bally operators. Chevron, as the
successor to Spottem, enables oper
ators to move their Spottems on to
second-string spots and maintain peak
earnings in their choice locations.
With all the play appeal of Spottem,
Chevron also includes a fascinating
new ‘When Lit’ Roll-Over which of
fers the same advantages as inter
mediate awards.”
“Double Feature, while primarily
built for the high-score market, is
actually a revolutionary new de
parture in game action — the first
really new development since the
start of the spiral bumpers. Double
Feature bumpers are ‘two-faced’ or
‘double-duty’ or whatever you want
to call them—they score 100 or 1,000
depending on whether they’re hit
from above or below! I certainly
don’t have to go into any great song
and dance to convince operators that
double-duty bumpers are really some
thing— and will unquestion start the
bumper boom all over again.
“ Double Feature and Chevron in
clude many new mechanical refine
ments— such as in-a-door coin-chute
—triple anti-tilt— new floating power
— new super-sensitive, long-bearing,
rubber-tip shooter— features which
insure longer life, bigger profits,
greater all round value.”
“Our third new Bally hit is Victory
the game that means free play terri
tory will continue to produce ‘pay-
table’ profits! Victory has all the
play-appeal of Eureka— Mystery Se
lections— Changing Odds— ‘in-Place-
Show’ Awards— all the ‘come-on’ and
‘keep-on’ of a pay-table . . . plus
greater flash than Eureka— greater
action — popular sports theme on
board and back-glass — tantalizing
‘When-Lit’ Roll-Overs — many me
chanical refinements, including E-Z
Push Free Play Coin-Chute.”
Like Eureka, Victory is ultra-
flexible: operate as a one-shot or
5-ball, 4-ball or 2-ball game with or
without 4-way multiple. All awards
metered— and some wide range ad-
justabiity as Bally pay tables.
