...Nikita Khrushchev, who descended with his family for an 18-day goodwill tour of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. There were moments of levity, such as the time when Khrushchev startled Swedish Premier Tage Erlander by grabbing the oars of a boat and rowing him nonstop across a 300-yd. lake. But all in all, Nikita was no great hit anywhere. He miffed the Danes right off by sneering that their prized, highly productive farms are too small. In Sweden, he again rankled his hosts at a dinner by declaring that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been better off since Russia...
...Lema was 12 under par, seven strokes ahead of burly Mike Souchak. A sudden thundershower made the pros dive for their umbrellas -and almost literally Tony landed on his nose. He lost a stroke at the sixth hole, another at the eighth, two more on the 480-yd. ninth when he bombed his drive under the branches of a lowhanging pine tree (see cut) and barely managed to salvage a bogey. ("I just crawled in there on my hands and knees, said a quick prayer, and backhanded the ball," said Tony.) But the real disaster occurred at the 14th hole...
...Grambling College's sprint relay team (TIME, May 15): a clean sweep at the Los Angeles Coliseum Relays, winning the 440-yd. relay in 40.2 sec. and the 880 in 1 min. 23.8 sec. In other events, Villanova University tied the world record with a 7 min. 19 sec. clocking in the two-mile relay; California's Dallas Long easily won the shotput with a toss of 65 ft. 51 in. (14 in. shy of his pending world record); and Arizona State's Henry Carr beat Florida A. & M.'s Bob Hayes, the "world...
Williams decided to crossbreed the two styles. His runners hold their hands palm down, in the classic American style, but the incoming runner slaps the baton upward into his teammate's palm, alerting him just before the pass by shouting "Hey!" In the 440-yd. relay, where even a fraction of a second is important, Williams staggers the passing points so that Stebbins and Ragsdale, the two fastest men, get to run 10 yds. farther than Meadows and Owens...
Wendell Mottley means probable victories for Yale in the 440-yd. run and mile relay, the Crimson's two weakest running events. Army's Rance Farrell and Keith Jenkins are likely 440 scorers, and the West Point mile quartet is the second best in the league...
