Denver Youth Spelling Champ Washin2ton-UPB-Tall, slow- speaking Joel Montgomery, 12, Denver, today became the first boy in five years to win the National Spelling Bee. Joel won out over runner' up Robert Crossley, 13, Center Square, Pa., by correctly spelling "fanfaronade,' which had tripped Robert. Joel then correctly spelled "catama ran." The two boys battled it out through six rounds of tongue twisting words that make up a speller's nightmare. The victory for Joel, a seventh grader, came in the 30th round of the two-day bee and after a see-saw battle in which both he and Robert misspelled the same word "vinaigrous." Under the rules of the game, the bee then continued and Joel, became the winner. Joel's victory was worth $1,000 cash and a week end all-expenses paid trip to New York, plus an engraved plaque and a trophy.
