I grew up there but was too young to know where the real halls were. It is great to see that many old school quality players in H-Town. By the time I started playing the only decent one that I could get to was Cue N CusHion. It got taxed out and closed and I think is a martini bar or somthing. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Thank for posting them. Those look like some great old times. I wish I could have been there.
Now we have to find out who the beautiful young lady is with Mr. Puckett.
The hair gives me an idea but that was a long tie ago & she looks very young so I could be way off base.
Thanks again,

OK, I'm going to test my newly aquired pool cue knowledge.
Dick Lane here http://billporter.smugmug.com/Sport...qWMd9T/93482230_gDJZzZj#!i=93478625&k=4Qf944B looks like a Szamboti, is it?

)Anyone else think Earl's head position looks quite a bit different (more centered on the stick) in this picture than the way he plays today (stick way to the right)?

I don't really think so. His head may be a bit more on an angle, but I'd say it is still under his right eye.
Reds Tournament 1983-84
Those are some great photo's from the Reds Tournament back in 1983-84, thanks Mike Haines and Bill Porter. Everyone looks so YOUNG!:smile:
That is Country Calvin Harcrow in the blue shirt beside his old friend Mike Massey, Calvin didn't play in the tournament but did match up and beat 10 players in a row gambling , he ran 13 racks in a row on the bar table playing 9-Ball against "Atlanta Danny" Danny Greardon at the tournament.

that Cesar guy has an awkward and shaky bridge. And he is over the cloth with a lit cigarette
Good these pictures come over and over again here. I bet there are youngsters who have never seen those monster players.
My dad had a collection of old billiards pictures from the 30's. They were taken of old pool halls around St. Cloud, MN - some of them with my relatives.
Unfortunately, when he died, they were thrown out as his papers were sorted. (sigh)
