Alex Higgins does caroms

[Bob Jewett]

Well, there are pockets on the table, but it's all about the cue ball and control of all three balls....

And he would have called them cannons, not caroms. Those Brits have a different word for anything -- it's like they don't even speak English.

I may have seen this one awhile back - one thing I noticed about Higgins ,e he played great and he never stayed down on the shot - in one of Robert Byrnes' books he did a capsule bio on various players , one of them was Higgins - in it he claims that Higgins stated he would play anyone in the world at any table game provided he had 6 months to practice with a professional at that particular game.
