Spelling Bee
Declared a Tie
WASHINGTON Ml — Officials
called the National Spelling Bee
a draw yesterday and crowned
Michael Day of Hardin, 111., and
Nettie Crawford of Roswell, N.M.,
as co-champions.
The decision was reached after
the two, with all the rest of the
field of 10 eliminated, had engaged
in more than an hour of head
and-head wrestling with words that
grew stranger by the round.
They had used up a total of 59
tongue-twisting words, many de
rived from foreign languages, such
as Greek, Hebrew, Gaelic and
Italian.
The beaming winners, tall, 13
year-old Nettie, 8th-grade daugh
ter of a New Mexico farmer, and
red-haired Michael, 14, also in
8th grade, came through a grueling
two days of competition against
some of the nation’s best spellers.
The contest was halted when
neither could spell properly the
word “Esquamulose” which means
a smooth skin or without scales.
A Fairbanks, Alaska, girl, 13
year-old Beatrice Slotnick, opened
yesterday’s session of the 35th
annual National Spelling Bee. She
got safely through the round, which
was the 11th in the contest, while
others faltered, but went out her
self in the 12th round.
She inserted an “I” for the “E”
in “Valetudinarian. She was one
I of six eliminated in the 12 round.
Twenty-one girls and 10 boys
| started out yesterday morning and
I went glibly through such jaw
breakers as “Internecine,” “Pere
igrinate” and “Amanuensis,” but
back-of-the-book words began to
take a toll.
The field had been pared down
from 70 Wednesday in 10 rounds,
with 547 progressively tougher
words. ~ ' -"
; All the contestants were cham
t pions, sponsored by Scripps-How
ard Newspapers in 18 cities and 51
! other daily and Sunday papers.
: They competed for $5,700 in prizes,
with $1,000 and a sightseeing trip
to New York for the first place
winners.
