It's the final few matches of the 1971 Ebonite Open which took place at the Saratoga Lanes in San Jose, California.
It starts halfway through Earl Anthony's game with John Petraglia (looking extremely young!), which he wins. It then proceeds to his game against Skee Foremsky, which he loses by 40 or so points.
This is apparently an "infamous" tournament because the top 16 bowlers to finish were all left-handers.
Earl looks great with his crew-cut. His bowling motion seems to be the same as in future years - I don't think he changed it at all until around 1997 or so when he started using a slightly higher backswing to increase the speed of his ball.
