All trades are like life a gamble. We just have to try our best." Yawkey, visiting Boston for the first time this season, needed a scorecard to recognize the team on the field. The Red Sox had only 10 holdovers from the 1965 club in uniform. The dean of American League club owners, Yawkey said1 he believes trades with Kansas City and Detroit earlier this week "improved the Red Sox overall."

In 1965 Love and Pcolar tied for the top prize for low Vermont pro while Steve won It out right in 1964. I talked to Steve Wednesday and he is looking forward to the tourney. He said he is getting around the Burlington CC in par or just over and hopes he can do as well at Fairlee.

Hughes could enter these meets, which are held each week, and would get a chance to run against some of the best in the stale and from out of state. Fletcher has run these meets for nearly four years and has had great success. And Burlington High coaches and fans will be glad to know Jeff is not moving out of the Burlington area. In fact his dad said he would let Jeff remain at BHS if he did move. So we will all get a chance to see this speedster do his stuff on the football field this fall.

Eckert, baseball com-missinnpr annnnnred Wednes- Association regatta on Onondaga Lake Saturday. But to accomplish the coveted feat, the Huskie freshman crew will have to overcome a strong Penn entry. This was the prediction of a majority of the competing coaches who took part Wednesday in the annual poll by the Syracuse Herald-Journal. In the over-all voting, Cornell, and Brown, defending champion Navy and California were open for many years, like Pcolar, will spend all three days at the Fairlee Course. JOHNSON HASN'T seen the entry list yet and isn't sure if 1964 champion Jay Dolan of Leicester, is going to be on hand.

Dolan is having his best year on the tour and If my memory serves me right he qualified for the U.S. Open which gets under way Thursday. Also 1962 champion Bob Crowley of Weston, Mass. has flown out to the U.S. Open as an alternate.

If someone is unable to compete Crowley will be the replacement. IF DOLAN makes the cut after the first 36 holes he would then play Saturday and Sunday and it would be doubtful if he would make the trip to Fairlee. Although the year he won the Vermont Open he came right from the Buick Open, where he made some $1,400. Both Crowley and Dolan are contenders for the title any year they enter. Both are colorful golfers and give us hackers a lot to remember each year.

I can recall the year Bill Kzinick! won the open, 1961. Ezinlckl, who was the scourge of the NHL for seven years and spent more time In the penalty box than anyone during that time, had completed his 18 holes when Crowley reached the 18th. Crowley had about a two-foot putt which would have won him the tourney. He missed it and Ezinicki won the title. I can recall trying to get a picture of Crowley coming off the 18th.

I can't recall what he said to me but I never did get the picture. THERE IS some good news for Vermont skiing fans. It has been reported that Madonna Mountain in Jeffer-snnville has been selected as one of the many sites for tryouts for the 1967 Olympic ski team. Madonna, which has an excellent trail, The FIS, will be host to the best skiers in the nation, including Stowe's Billy Kidd, Feb. 4 and 5.

I don't know about the other ski buffs in the state, but I can hardly wait to see the host in the nation in action again. that snapped a 2-2 tie and gave tory over the Yankees.
