Three of those records fell to Gary Hall, an amiable 19-year-old who specializes in the butterfly and the individual medley. It was nothing new for Gary. He broke three world records in this meet last year too. John Kinsella, 18, and Mark Spitz, 20, set new standards for freestylers, Kinsella in the 400 and 1500 meters, and Spitz in the 100-meter glamour race with a steaming 0:51.941. World marks in the 200-meter breaststroke and the 200-meter backstroke fell, respectively, to Brian Job, 18, and Mike Stamm, 18. Alice Jones, 18, led the girls...

Indiana University's redoubtable Dr. Jim Counsilman will have Hall, Kinsella, Spitz and Stamm swimming for his N.C.A.A. champion team next winter.

A pinkish froth around the nose, he said, indicated that she "remained alive for a certain time" while the car was under water in Poucha Pond. "She breathed, that girl," Spitz said. "She wasn...
...rate Spitz is going, Counsilman reckons he may get another chance to stroke for Olympic gold-even though he will be 22, ancient by swimming standards, when the Munich games roll around. Says Counsilman: "He should just be hitting his peak by 1972." Spitz, of course, wants nothing more than another try. "Everything I do now is geared to 1972," he says. "I don't want another Mexico City...
