...Jonny Nilsson, 19. stubby-legged student engineer from Filipstad, Sweden: three new world records at the world speed skating championships in Karuizawa, Japan. Gliding happily through a blinding blizzard that coated him with snow and slowed down his rivals, the unheralded Nilsson sped 10,000 meters in 15 min. 33 sec., won the 5,000 meters in 7 min. 34.3 sec., and set yet another record by winning the all-events championship with the best score ever...
...Carol Hanks. 19: the National Indoor singles, doubles and mixed doubles tennis titles-a clean sweep-at Longwood Covered Courts in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Carol teamed with Chauncey Steele III in the mixed doubles and with home-town Friend Mary Ann Eisel, 16, in the doubles, needed only 36 min. to dust off Mary Ann, 6-2, 6-2. in the singles final...
...road, the Hawks are loudly booed for their knock-'em-down-again style. They have racked up a grand total of 701 min. in the penalty box, second only to the hot tempered Detroit Red Wings, but they deny all accusations of dirty play. "It's just that we check so close," says Defenseman Wayne Hillman. "Just call it rough."

...Howie Young: the dubious title of the Baddest Bad Boy in National Hockey League history, after picking up an unprecedented 27 min. in penalties in a game with the Detroit Red Wings against the Montreal Canadiens. The 25-year-old defense man, with 210 min. in the penalty box so far this season, easily surpassed the record of Montreal's Lou Fontinato (202 min.) by clobbering two Canadien players with his stick, lunging at the referee and finally bouncing his glove off the ref's head. Total fine for misconduct: $100, plus a three-game suspension without...
...brooms. Working against the clock, the students must batter a piano into pieces small enough to be passed through a hole in a board 20 cm. (7.87 in.) in diameter. The sport got its start at Britain's Derby College of Technology, where the best time was 14 min. 3 sec. Then, at Caltech, members of the Reduction Study Group claimed the piano-demolition championship by crippling a keyboard in 10 min. 44.4 seconds. But records are made to be broken. Last week students at Detroit's Wayne State University reduced an old fraternity piano into kindling...
