WEBSTER OUTSPELLED IN
DRAW AT SPELLING BEE
WASHINGTON, {£>)—They ran
out of jawbreaking words four
times during the 23rd annual na
tional spelling bee yesterday, and
the affair wound up in a two-way
draw.
The co-champions: Diana Rey
nard, 12, of East Cleveland, Ohio,
and Colquitt Dean, 14, of College
Park, Ga.
All told, Diana spelled 48 words
and Colquitt 49 before the supply
ran out.
Each was given $509 and a trip
to New York. Jim Bernhard of
Lanier Junior High School, Hous
ton, Tex., who was next, pulled
down a $300 prize, while Nancy
MacLaren of Tewksbury, Mass.,
won $100.
The Seri pps-Howard chain,
which sponsors the bee along with
other newspapers from coast to
coast, had prepared 615 of the
toughest words they could find
for the 50 contestants. Normally,
a supplylike this is far more than
is needed.
But this time it was different.
With only minor pauses, the spell
ing dragged on for almost seven
hours. Not only Diana and Col
quitt, but practically everybody
else, refused to falter.
When the first stock of brain
teasers began running low, an of
ficial started digging into the dic
tionary. Three times he came up
with extras.
They were tough. Words like
heliotaxis, ectogenous, profligan
cv, alkalescent, alluvial, ossifica
tion, irradiant, resiliency, hetero
genous, tessellated, ichthyology.
But it was no use. The word
hunter couldn’t find words as fast
as the kids could spell ’em. First
time in spelling bee history that
the spellers outspelled Webster,
he declared.
