Kansas Sports Brought Laughs and Odd Feats in 1961
A year of quirky Kansas sports memories features Harold Tincher and Eddie Johnson golfing at Prairie Dunes where a 162 yard hole in one stunned onlookers. Col. Bernie Beaudoin’s son and daughter, Paul and Roberta, made headlines with first-time golf milestones and a 14 year old’s two iron hole in one. Gerald Federgreen’s birdie on a bird startled a bird and led to a peculiar score. Fort Scott’s Jack Casner was hurt by a rabbit during dog racing practice. Hubert Jones and friends hunted four deer in the Rockies, then lost one to theft. Kyle Noe, age nine, achieved an unassisted triple play in Little League but his team still lost. Two nine year olds played a decisive two inning game in Phillipsburg. The Athletics club in Salina carried multiple sponsor names on shirts. Parachuting risks and a Pittsburg beauty contest delayed by traffic prompted a Kansas City skydiving club to return home. Stella Book, at 90, bowled a 10 pound ball with ease, and David Snowbarger and wife performed a do it yourself rabbit birth operation producing four kits Erie Minie and Edgar.
