Nelson lives at zoos North

High School is q little further

Stratford or Swanson. 1t can
not be accepted, for it is utterly

American golf professionals they

Ia youngster little known outside

Jack Kay. 26-year-old pro
from the nearby Mount Bruno
course. caught fire on the last
four holes of the 6.645-yard
Islesmere course yesterday and
chalked UP an eagle and two
brides for a 5-under-par 81.
Although the 81 was stroke
under the old competitive record
for Islesmere, it gave Kay a
1-Stroke lead over two California
players. Ken Ventura of San
Francisco and George Bayer Of
Los Angeles. Five other Amer
lean professionals were tied
at SO.
Kay. former caddy who pol
ished his game on Montreal's
public courses, was among the
early finishers.
Ventura and Bayer both had
outstanding chances to tie for
the lead. Venturi's 12-foot putt
for a birdie on the 18th stopped
inches short and Bayer missed
on Scooter.
Both Doug Ford of Mahopac,
N. Y, and Julius Boros of Mid
