Quote re US Pairs Trials - to compose 1964 Olympiad teams

During the same 16-day meet, Gordon and Helen Portugal tied for first place among eight pairs in trials to play on the USA women team in May 1964.[1] They went on to earn silver medals in the second quadrennial World Team Olympiad with a second-place finish behind Great Britain.

WBF website intermittent today; no information about that tournament - eg did Canada enter a team?

Notes to myself from search proprietary ProQuest Historical Newspapers database.

Should use those, the latter heavily.

  • Chicago Tribune 1967-05-25 "Deaths Elsewhere" (first item) - probably abstracted from NYT p47.
  • Washington Post 1967-05-26 "Deaths Elsewhere" (last of 6) - yet shorter
  • LA Times 1967-05-26 "Bridge Titlist Dies" - identical to WPost except "Buffalo, NY (UPI)" byline and closing words "died here Wednesday".
  • Times of India (Delhi) 1967-06-11, p8 - reprint of the Truscott bridge column under the title "Bridge: Leading woman player's death"[!]

No mention of writing. Some mention of administration. No Buffalo newspaper is evident.

  • Boston Globe 1967-06-18, p48. Franklin P. Silver. "Bridge Points: Spring Regional Scheduled". - Bretton Woods, NH, next weekend. Quote: "Last year's Winners: ... Open Teams: Agnes Gordon [and three men]"

Thus they qualified to play in US trials for the 1968 Olympiad.

That was the first of two preliminary days in the Vanderbilt tournament, Tue-Wed to cut the field to 32 teams for knockout play.

Robert Frederick Foster; R. F. Foster

(maybe notify User:Krenakarore) Hi. Last month I visited everyone in Category:Bridge writers, expanding it along the way, and made some improvements. You might call the systematic improvements gnome things: templates {{Authority control}} always and {{LCAuth}} if it seems useful; birth/death date/places or the appropriate "missing" categories.

This month the systematic part is references to NYTimes obituaries and related articles (sometimes multiple bridge columns none of which is an obituary); use them some, always with attention to the birth/death date/places.
