(U.R) Ver mont, No. 1 state in the produc tion of maple sugar and syrup, apparently faces one of the smallest harvests in history. Pro longed wintry weather is blamed for the tiny 1956 crop, which now rates only 10 per cent of normal. Canadian Named Champion at Albany Albany, Ore.

Strangely enough, Blthough histories have ransacked the Rev olutionary period for the tiniest details, for the most part little has been reported about the sports of our founding fathers. This we know: Mad Anthony Wayne was a billiard player; Pat rick Henry, a fisherman; Benja min Franklin, a swimmer; the Marquis de Lafayette, a fencer; Ethan Allen, a deer hunter; Na- 7-4-56 thanial Greene, a wrestler; John Adams, a ballplayer; Alexander Hamilton, a hunter; Governeux Morris, an outdoorsman; James Madison, a bird watcher; and Thomas Jefferson, a chess play er. . But of them all perhaps George Washington was the greatest all -around sportsman. And in those days, this was not easy. Considerable prejudice ex isted against sports particu larly in Puritan New England. This bias was so strong, in fact, that the First Continental Con gress of 1774 passed an agree ment calling upon the colonies to "discontinue and discourage every Species of Extravagance and Dissipation; especially all Horse Racing, and all kinds of gaming, Cock Fighting, Exhi bitions of Shows, Plays and oth er expensive Diversions and en tertainments." Perhaps this very bias indi cates how popular these sports must have been particularly in the southern colonies. At any rate, in defiance of the bluenoses, Washington lived the active outdoor life. While President, he once took his Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, out to sea on a fish ing expedition. At another time, during his first year in office, he went fishing. His dairy says (and note the typical Angler's alibi): ''Having lines, we proceeded to the fishing banks, a little without the harbour, and fished for Cod, but it not being a proper time of tide, we only caught two, with w'ch, about 1 o'clock we re turn to Town. Dined at Mr. Lang don's, and drank Tea there, with a large circle of Ladies, and re tired a little after seven o'clock." Horses Greatest Passion But Washington's greatest passion was horses, apparently being one of those fabled Virgin ians who would walk five miles to catch a horse to be able to ride him one mile. The Father of our Country not only bred hors es, but trained them and raced them and then bet on them. To cite but one instance, in 1773, Washngton made a special trip from Mt. Vernon to Annapolis to attend a race meeting. Wheth er or not Washington won is not disclosed but it is a matter of record that when beaten, he was' always prompt to congratu late a rival owner upon his "suc cess on the turf." His love for horses, as to be expected, led him into fox hunt ing and his diary has frequent references to this sport. For ex ample, in the middle of the win ter of 1769, during the month of January and February, he rode to hounds 15 times one week, on six successive days. Among the names of his hounds were Pi lot, Musick, Truelove, Trueman, Sweetlips and Bell Tongue. Mounted on his favorite horse, Blueskin, Washington must have cut a fine figure. He wore a Br EUGENE BURNS Rangrr-Naruralist hunting coat, and a scarlet waist coat, buckskin breeches, top boots and a velvet cap. In addition to his fox hounds, Washington had a kennel of stag hounds presented to him by his Revolutionary aide Lafayette, a fellow billiard player. Enjoyed Cards In latter years, Washington gave up the more strenuous sports a n d enjoyed himself more with cards, billiards and "ducking" on his estate. Appropriately enough, Wash ington's enthusiasms for the out door life must have been passed on. While a war .correspondent for the Associated Press during World War II, I met Lieut. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, a five generation descendant of Wash ington's sister and these were Buckner's sports, as far as I learned them, and there may have been others: angler, hunt er, skater, photographer, taxider mist, trapper, sailor, swimmer, wrestler, polo player, aviator, and big game hunter. And hav ing seen him in action under fire (he was killed , at Okinawa), fighting for American freedom. Just like his predecssor.
