tons of pool articles

[Hambone]

All of you die hard pool junkies should check out www.sportsillustrated.com
Click on the Vault banner near the top. They have put almost every one of their issues online. You can do a general search for billiards or for specific players. I found numerous old articles on Hoppe, Lassiter, Fats, Johnson City tournaments and others. Pretty much everything ever written about pool in their mag.

Make sure you have plenty of time to kill these go back to the mid 50's.
It also shows the date and cover of the original magazine the article was printed in for all you collectors out there.

Check it out you'll thank me later!

Wasn't there an article about Danny Basovich a while back? His name in the search box comes up with nothing, nada, zip, zilch, nil.

That was one I looked for too. I tried several different ways to look for it and could'nt find it either.

Who knew??? Our own Jay Helfert made Sports Illustrated December 16 1974.

Search using pool hustler, it should come up.

Dannys name is spelled Basavich, that will work too.
