...first month, Sarno's midway attraction seems to be paying off. Circus Circus has drawn an average of 15,000 people a day, including the woman who on opening day broke her leg sliding down a fire pole intended to convey guests from level to level (the pole is no longer in use). Some customers still grump at the amusements. "It's like Disneyland," said a restaurant manager from Covina, Calif. But most are enthusiastic.

His discus throw, 143 ft. 31 in., was "near what I wanted," but the pole vault almost proved a disaster. "I just about had a heart attack when I missed the opening height on my first two attempts," said Toomey. He pulled himself together to vault 13 ft. 91 in., tying his personal record. A 206-ft. i-in. javelin throw kept him in first place, a bare 61 points ahead...
