...Canadian law, it will take an Act of Parliament to fire the governor, and Fleming announced that he would introduce the necessary bill "shortly." It will almost certainly pass-and with it the nation's tight-money policies. In New York last week the Canadian dollar slipped to par with the U.S. dollar for the first time since...

Cocky South African Gary Player, the Masters champion, was mystified by the rolling greens, putted so badly he wound up 7-over-par with 287 for 72 holes. Defending Open Champion Arnold Palmer fared even worse, failed to duplicate last year's whirlwind finish, shot 289.

It was exactly what he needed: Bob Goalby, onetime Darien, Conn., club pro, had finished earlier with a 282. Sanders, playing behind Littler, knew he had to birdie...
Golf captain Fiske Warren shot a five-under-par 68 to lead the Crimson squad to 5-2 victory over Brown at the Myopia Hunt Club yesterday. The varsity took its sixth win in eight starts...
