1964 U.S. National 3 Cushion Championship

Below are the results of the 1964 National Championship.  This tournament was played at the famous Palace Billiards at 932 Market Street in San Fransisco.  The way to read the flow chart is from left to right.  You will notice there are three numbers in each cell.  The big number is the players score. Games were 50 points, so a 50 on the sheet means a win, whereas other scored indicate the number scored in a loss. The number in the top left of each cell is the number of innings shot by the player. The top right indicates that player's high run in that game.  Two players tied for high run with 10. 

An interesting note- the last player on the list is Roman Yanez, who was the player who made all the shots in the billiard segment of "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land," a short Disney film.
