...meet opened with intimidation. Four muscular East German women--looking positively spooky in their long royal blue robes, dark goggles, and caps bearing the yellow, orange and black flag--strode up to the four center lanes (indicative of the four top qualifying times) in the 100-yd. freestyle, Saturday night's first final event, and promptly walked away with a merciless 1-2-3 sweep...
...Open records equivalent to world records for yards distances (all European pools and official world record are metric while this meet was swum on a 25 yd. course), fell during the meet--both during the German assault on the first night. Barbara Krause, world record holder and 1978 world champion in the 100-m freestyle, shattered the absent Tracy Caulkins' mark in the aforementioned opening sweep with a 49.45 clocking. She joined teammates Care Meitschuck, Sari Hulsenbeck and Weike Witt in the final event of the evening to bury the old standard in the 400-yd. freestyle relay with...
...Alabama. Already behind 14-0, the underdog Texans gave the ball to their junior tailback, Kent Waldrep, 20. Sweeping around the right end, he quickly ran into the Crimson Tide's crushing defense. As two players tried to push him out of bounds on the Alabama 40-yd. line, a third crashed into his legs from behind. Waldrep was hit so hard he flipped over and landed headfirst. Texas went on to lose, 41-3. But for Waldrep that game in 1974 was an even more devastating defeat. He was paralyzed from the neck down...
Fitzgibbons began to lubricate his swing by the second nine, which he started off with four straight pars. Then, on the par-five, 515-yd. 17th, he made a scrambling bogey after driving into the trees. He stung a three-iron under some overhanging branches, smashed a three-wood onto the apron, and two-putted from 60 feet. Dales finished with a tidy par on 18 to give the team a one-over 36 for the back nine after a 41 for the front side...
