And now for the biggies...

Vanderbilt Knockout Teams - 11-16 March
Chip Martel, Davis CA - Lew Stansby, Castro Valley CA -
Hugh Ross, Oakland CA - Peter Pender, Guerneville CA
	This makes two wins in major team events in the past year
for this team, which became the first team ever to successfully
defend a Grand National Team title in 1983. Clearly one of the
two best American teams currently -- in the last four Team Trial
qualifying events ('83 Grand Nationals, Spingold, and Reisinger,
'84 Vanderbilt), they have won two, and finished 2/3 and 3/4 in
the others. This win means that they will be seeded directly into
the finals of the Trials for the 1985 Bermuda Bowl.

Women's Knockout Teams - 15-19 March
Edith Kemp Freilich, Miami Beach FL - Nancy Gruver, Ellicott City MD -
Mary Jane Farell, Beverly Hills CA - Helen Utegaard, Carmichael CA -
Beverly Rosenberg, Sherman Oaks CA - Carol Pincus, Los Angeles CA
	The first three members of this team have been winning things
for ages. The other members are no pushovers either.
