1963-12-08. Morehead. "Bridge: Reviewing A.C.B.L.'s Title Play". Albert H. Morehead. The New York Times. December 8, 1963. Page 194.
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.
- NYT 1967-05-25, p44. Truscott. "Bridge: Deal From 1964 Olympiad Shows Agnes Gordon's Skill". Quote: "death of Agnes Gordon in Buffalo early yesterday morning".
- NYT 1967-05-25, p47. unsigned. "Agnes Gordon, 61, Bridge Champion: Member of U.S. Teams at Three Olympiads is Dead" – two Team Olympiads; 5th in 1962 women pairs (not actually a US Team).
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]"
- NYTimes 1967-03-15, p44. Truscott. "Bridge: Mrs. Hayden and Partners Win Women's Team Title". - yesterday at the Spring Nationals Dorothy Hayden, Emma Jean Hawes, Agnes Gordon, Margaret Wagar [no doubt Gordon's partner] "capture the Women's Team title" (Women's BAM replaced 1976 as premier women teams championship by Wagar Women's Knockout Teams.
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.

Foster
[edit]- 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.
