Aurora's Skittle Bowl was the longest lasting of the Skittle line of games in the late 60's & early to mid 70's.
Here, Gene Wood (Beat The Clock, ex-The Adventures of Lariat Sam) is doing what amounts to an auditon for the Pro Bowlers Tour as he calls the end of this match. But check out the name given to the younger contestant......
Most of you know that Don Yarmy was the birth name of comedy legend and Aurora commercial endorser Don Adams. Seems the ad agency and/or Aurora were paying homage to Adams in this spot, which he probably directed while staying off camera. I remember playing this game in my youth, probably at a friend's house, but I don't think I had it at home.
