Device Enables Armless Man to Bowl--Harold A. Carlson (left), 45, who lost both arms as a youth in a railroad accident, swings a duck ball down the alley, aided by a rubber suction device (right) attached to his arm hook. All parts for the device were bought at variety and bicycle stores. On his first try with the invention at a local bowling alley, Carlson scored a 96 at duckpins.
