Youngest Champ
It was an historic year at Franklin Hills
Country Club. Mike Zausmer of West
Bloomfield became the youngest club
men's golf champion when he defeated
Spencer Solomon on the final hole of a
thrilling 36-hole title match.
This was the first time Zausmer could
compete in the tournament. He's 16,
and that's the minimum age. His 72 was
the lowest score in
the qualifying round.
After winning quar-
terfinal and semifinal
matches, he took
on Solomon for the
championship.
A junior at Detroit
Country

Zausmer plays in American Junior

the summer, and in tournaments in
Florida during the winter.

Grey Cup Guru
There are Jewish and Detroit Lions links
to the winner of the Canadian Football
League's 97th Grey Cup game, played last
month in Saskatechewan.
Montreal coach Marc Trestman, who
led the Alouettes to a 29-28 victory over
Saskatchewan's Roughriders, is Jewish.
Trestman was a member of the Lions'
coaching staff in 1997. He was hired
by Coach Bobby Ross to be the teams
quarterbacks coach and, thanks in large
part to Trestman's guidance, QB Scott
Mitchell passed for 3,484 yards, the sec-
ond-highest total in team history.
After one season with the Lions, he
left the club to become the Arizona
Cardinals' offensive coordinator.
