...turned out, just about everybody could have used a little quick energy last week. Akron's monstrous (7,180 yds.) Firestone course is a familiar nemesis to the touring pros: it has been the site of eleven tournaments in six years, and only five players have ever broken par for 72 holes on its narrow fairways...
Last week, just as practice for the 1966 season got under way, the N.F.L.'s Detroit Lions were trying to cope with a mass training-camp holdout by veterans demanding pay increases that would put them on a par with untried bonus rookies. Among the balkers: All-N.F.L. Guards John Gordy and Ted Karras, Ends Darris McCord and Ron Kramer, Flanker Pat Studstill, and Defensive Back Bruce Maher.

The tournament be came Sanders, Thomas and Nicklaus, all tied at one under par. Sanders and Thomas finished early, with scores of 283, and sat around the clubhouse waiting for slow, methodical Jack. Out on the battlefield, Nicklaus slammed a perfect drive down the middle of the 17th fairway, then hit a magnificent iron to the green within 15 feet of the cup. Barely missing...
...last year. The American Recorder Society now boasts 53 chapters in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a learned quarterly, The American Recorder. Fo cal point for much of the interest is on campus, where professional recorder players draw packed audiences. In par lors, schools and summer resorts, week end musicians are meeting to play in everything from duets to 50-piece recorder orchestras...
