PGA great Weber dies at home in St. Louis
Dick Weber, one of bowling's first national stars and a three-time bowler of the year, died Sunday night. He was 75.
Weber died in his sleep at his home in the St. Louis area, said Steve James, retired executive director of the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. A cause of death was not immediately known.
Weber had just returned from the opening of the congress' championships in Baton Rouge, La.
Weber was one of bowling's first national TV stars, at a time when ABC broadcast bowling events on Saturday afternoons.
In 1958, he was a founding member of the Professional Bowlers Association, and he went on to win 26 PBA Tour events and six Senior Tour events. He was national bowler of the year three times, in 1961, 1963 and 1965.
His son, Pete, is second on the career PBA money list. Both father and son are in the PBA Hall of Fame.
Graziani lifts Soul against Nashville

Steve Smith had eight catches for 131 yards and two TDs for the Soul (2-1).
UNLV wins title
UNLV rallied to claim the doubles point and then used that momentum to defeat 72nd-ranked Denver 4-0 and win the UNLV Men's Tennis Spring Invitational at the Fertitta Tennis Complex. The Rebels (6-2), who took their own tournament's title for the first time since 2002, won their sixth consecutive match.
