Stanley Dancer Country Boy Millionaire in Harness Racing
Eddie Arcaro defined a millionaire as a sleepy, silk pajamas wearer. Stanley Dancer, once unknown, rose from a Westbury tack room floor to drive over 50 horses, piloting a Beechcraft to races nationwide. His horses earned over $9 million, with a world record $1,218,403 last season and $1,051,538 in 1964. He led Roosevelt driving standings six times, won the $100,000 Roosevelt International in 1961 and 1963, and pursues the Hambletonian. He remains a country boy at heart despite fame and fortune.

Giants Prepare for Tough Season Under Tarkenton
Fairfield report notes Fran Tarkenton must revive a struggling New York Giants offense after a disastrous 1969 season. With Y.A. Tittle gone, the team traded two top draft picks for Tarkenton, who faces a tougher schedule in the NFL realignment. Key players like Earl Morrall, Tucker Frederickson, and backs Mercein and Jacobs shoulder the revival, while defense remains the major concern after a 501-point allowed season.
