Darn Head Pin

Way back in high school, I used to go bowling every weekend, reaching a greater level of success than in any other sport (it’s a low hurdle indeed).  I had my share of 1 Acrosses, but got pretty good at converting the smaller ones.  Difficulty-wise, I’d put today’s puzzle in the category of knocking down the 10-pin for a spare:  quite doable but not a slam dunk, to mix sporting metaphors.  (Dunking a bowling ball is not recommended.)
