Diane saved the day for Cheers. Diane had bowled for PE in college for six semesters but did not want anyone to know, so she didn't tell them. But Gary insulted her sorority and so she stepped up. Because of Diane's heroics, Cheers won their first competition against Gary's. Woody had been a champion bowler in Indiana but he hadn't bowled since the 'tragedy' and froze while trying to bowl for the guys. Coach passed away at the end of season three so he was not present during this episode.
