These three and some other fresh faces exceeded all expectations at the Millrose Games in New York on Thursday and the BAA meet in Boston Saturday night, but a freak ankle injury to sprint star Aggrey Awori may make December's prediction pure fancy...
Chris Ohiri broadjumped 24 1/2" for the Crimson's only victory. Captain Ed Meehan took the lead with 2 laps to go in the 1000 yard run and bung on long enough to finish a very creditable third behind Canadians Bill Crohers and Fargas Laps. John Ogden's finishing sprint earned him into second place, close behind Brown's Dave Farley, in the intercollegate mule...
...nearly full-bore into the shallow-banked turns, the lighter (by 600 Ibs.) Lotus-Fords made the U.S. cars look like dump trucks. After 20 miles, Clark and Gurney were already lapping the slowest Offies. Parnelli Jones gave up the chase with magneto failure on the 43rd lap. U.S.A.C.

Pushing toward "the ultimate in stress without physical damage," he puts swimmers through hard pool workouts seven days a week, plus calisthenics and isometric exercises. Under the "interval" method that Counsilman follows, swimmers sprint 50 meters and pause for 25 seconds, keeping that up through 40 sprints. He drives himself hard, too, often working a 5 a.m.-to-midnight day. "Hurt, pain, agony swimmers," he says, "need a hurt, pain, agony coach...
