Milwaukee Braves may return to Milwaukee in 1967 bid fight
Milwaukee faced a landmark antitrust ruling as Circuit Judge Elmer Roller ordered the Braves to return to Milwaukee on May 18 or risk loss of expansion rights in 1967. The ruling found baseball violated Wisconsin law by moving the team to Atlanta, with penalties and court costs assessed. Brewers owner Bud Selig signaled readiness to fund an expansion or purchase, while baseball officials prepared appeals to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Juniors 'Pushed Too Hard' says ski mentor Townsend
Williams College coach Ralph Townsend told Prospect Mountain Ski Club members that junior programs age 11 to 13 are rushed into racing too soon. He urged more emphasis on fun and local instruction, proposing a four-event program including cross country and jumping alongside alpine events. Townsend warned that early specialization can burn out promising skiers by age 18. He advocated reshaping junior ski training to foster broad skiing understanding.
