HERBERT DAVIDSON, 73, BUILDS AND SAILS HIS OWN MODEL YACHTS Canadian Open Interest Focused On Gary Player TORONTO (CP)--The Cana- dian Open golf championship doesn't start until Wednesday, but South African Gary Player has already moved into the spotlight. Player attracted a huge gal- lery for a practice round Sun- day at the Mississaugua course where the tournament will be played. The fans wanted to see if a neck injury which forced the United States Open champion from the third round of last week's British Open would keep him out of the 72-hole event here. As far as Player is con- cerned, it won't. "There's still pain, but this weather will loosen up the neck," he said, "I feel fine otherwise. This would be a long way to come if I weren't sure of playing." He playel several balls in the yractice round. Player suffered the injury, which he said involved a disc between two vertebrae, doing exercises in his bath tub. He hopes to get the neck into shape with as much pre-tourney playing as possible. He planned to take part in a pro-amateur tournament at Mississaugua During the pro - amateur event, another 154 of the 253 entries were scheduled to battle take part in a Canadian tourna- ment. Among the exempt pros are Billy Casper, winner of the Western Open a week ago; 1963 Canadian Open champ Doug Ford; Juan (Chi Chi) Rodrig- uez, the 120-pound Puerto Rican noted for his powerful drives, and Australian star Bruce Crampton. All were scheduled to compete in the $5,000 pro- amateur tourney. Other top names in the field not slated to see action in the pro - amateur included Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tony Lema and Kel Nagle, last year's Canadian Open winner.

By JOE DUPUIS MONTREAL (CP) -- "We're just a group of friends who get together every weekend," said 73-year-old Herbert Milne Da- vidson, "We have more trophies than members." Tall, mild-mannered, bushy- browed Davidson, a retired ac- countant, is an_ enthusiastic member of the Montreal Model Yacht Club, which dates to 1895, yet has only seven mem- bers. These seven sail their mini- ature yachts from early spring to late fall in competition against each other on Beaver Lake, an artificial, city-owned pond on Mount Royal. Of the nine yachts registered with the club--the only one left in Canada--Davidson owns two, the 36-inch class Tillicum and the six-metre Valjean. Davidson likes to point out that the club has no fees, no expenses, no finances and an open membership. All that's re- quired to join is a model yacht) designed for racing. | Davidson built the Tillicum,| using $15 worth of materials, and a '"winter's work' in the well-equipped basement shop of his suburban Westmount home. To buy a similar yacht today) $300, says Davidson, who came to Montreal from Vancouver jwith his parents at the age of four. INTEREST DWINDLED Most of the club yachts were |designed by a senior member, \Roderick (Rory) Matheson, a retired banker. Davidson built them to Rory's specifications. Enthusiasts Carry On Model Yacht Racing the Second World War and has never been revived. : Davidson says he doubts the sport will ever again enjoy the' popularity of pre ~ war days.| "But we keep trying to recruit new people." Bob Adams, a student, be- longs to the club which once boasted 33 members, Adams' father, Robert Sr., and brother Jim are also members with their own yachts. 'People like this will keep the thing going," of the International Model Yacht Association, asked Mont- real promoters to find a skip- per for the boat. Davidson was appointed Pratt's proxy, and narrowly missed winning the championship. | "Pratt didn't want the boat} and offered it to me, I didn't have a six, so I took it," says Davidson, The little boat is still going Four Boats Chosen| For Dinghy Races Kingston )cp) -- Four boats, two from Ottawa and two from Toronto, have been picked to represent Canada this August in the international 14-foot dinghy competitions in Buz- zard's Bay, Mass, ' A panel of five judges at the Kingston Yacht Club Saturday picked Ward McKimm and Fred Anfossie, both of Ottawa; and John Nicholson and Jack! Barber of Toronto to represent Canada, The judges made their decis- ion following a series of 18 races held during the past two weeks, Fourteen boats com- peted, The four boats making up the Canadian team will compete against entries from England, the United States and Bermuda in a round robin series August 14-19, Harry Jemmett of Kingston was chosen as the first alter- nate and Dave Kirby of Ottawa as the second, : NEW YORK (AP) --R, ©, . 0 , veteran " aaa tne Sones "hi pov | with New York of the National F League, OPTOMETRIST PHONE 723-4191 136 Simcoe St. North strong. says Davidson, a former 'club commodore, Davidson, a bomber pilot in the First World War, says: "Model yachting is not a sissy sport. It takes great skill and fortitude, "All our boats are measured to a specific class, and even have handicaps, We follow the same formula as in big yachts. Our boats are registered, like a pedigree, and every two or three years they have to be re- measured," CALLS FOR SKILL A. §S. (Alex) Poe, a local) yacht racing authority, says the "design of these small sailing) craft is as difficult and re-| quires the same skill and pa-| tience as needed for the design of the full-size racing yacht." "In general," says Poe, "models must have relatively more powerful hulls than big boats, since conditions of wind and sea are more difficult for the model." 2 Davidson got his six-metre, the Montreal club's most pop- ular class, quite unexpectedly 10 years ago when the original owner, Valmore Pratt of Van- couver, shipped it to Montreal/ Davidson's membership in the club goes back 20 years. But he! can recall watching an_ inter-| national race with. model yachts at suburban Chambly in 1923. Davidson said the sport's de-| cline set in with the arrival of) the automobile. "As soon as the gas cars put people on the road, the interest went out of model yacht racing," he says. The Canadian Model Yacht Racing Association went out of) existence with the coming of; it out for the remaining 45 spots in the $100,000 tourna- ment.
