MEXICO CITY-U.S. swimming
forces splashed to a perfect, rec-
ord-smashing start in the Olym-
pics with two gold :medals yester-
day.
The golds gave the United States
nine for the five-day. old Games.
The U.S. also :has three silvers
and five bronzes for a total of 17.
A quartet of teen-age girls
ignited what is expected to be a
lush harvest of gold medals with
a narrow but double record victory
in the 400-meter medley relay.
Kaye Hall of Tacoma, Wash.,
Catie Ball of Jacksonville, ,Fla.,
Ellie Daniels of Elkins Park, Pa.,
and Sue Pederson of Sacramento,
Calif.,. completed the race in 4:28.3,_
eclipsing the Olympic record and
the listed world mark.
The race was a two-team strug-
gle from the start between the
American and Australian quartets.
Kaye Hall 17-year-old, and Aus-<
tralia's Lynne Watson hooked up
in a duel in the opening back-
stroke leg with the American hold-
ing' a :slight lead.
Catie Ball, another 17-year-old
from Jacksonville, Fla., swim-
ming the breaststroke, had an edge
over Judy Playfair In their duel.
But Ellie Daniels of Elkins Park,
Pa{, at 18 the best of the four-
some, pulled away from Lyn Mac-
Clements for a one-meter advant-
age.
Sue Pederson of Sacramento,
Calif., who celebrated her 15th
birthday Wednesday, swam the
anchor freestyle and she really
turned it on in the final 50 meters
as she sped away from Australia's
Penny Steinback. Then, like any
happy girl, Sue broke down and
cried.
When the waters of the Olympic
pool had subsided, the men's 400-
meter freestyle relay flashed to a

MEXICO CITY - Swift Willie
Davenport of Southern Univer-
sity, claimed America's seventh
gold medal with a record-tying
victory in the 100-meter hurdles
yesterday while Olympic officials
struggled in closed meeting rooms
over the racial turn the Games
have taken.
Davenport's time of 13.3 sec-
onds tied the Olympic mark set
by teammate Erv Hall of Villan-
ova in the semifinals. Hall was
second in 13.4, the same time as,
bronze medalist ELddy Ottez of
Italy. Another American, Leon
Coleman of Winston-Salem, N.C.,
was fourth in 13:6.
Davenport jumped off to a
great start and went over the first-
hurdle with a clear lead. By the
seventh hurdle, he was two meters
in front and raised his hands at
the tape just as Smith had done
in the 100-meter race Wednesday.
Both the International Olympic
Committee and the U.S. Olympic
Committee met in extraordinary
sessions to 6onsider the actions of
Negro sprinters Tommie Smith
and John Carlos, whose behavior
following their 1-3 finish in Wed-
nesday's 200-meter dash touched'
off the racial controversy.
The U.S. committee officially
apologized to the I0C and the
Mexican Planning Committee for
the actions of the two athletes in
a carefully worded statement that
emerged from some five hours of o
meetings.
Meanwhile, back at Olympic E
Stadium, all three medalists a

Gridde, Pickings
The world will not salute you. A DeGualian like character will
not kiss you on both cheeks. He will not pin a medal on your chest.
Your name will be all but forgotten.
Who remembers such immortals as the Great Soaby? Who re-
members what he is not remembered for?
The Great Soaby won the Gridde Pickings (then Grid Selections)'
contest of September 28, 1958 with an 18-2 score.
We of the Daily Sports Staff cannot promise you fame and
fortune if you enter and win Gridde Pickings. But we can promise
this great, soon-to-be-forgotten hero a super fabulous, ultra-great
(and just a bit greasy) pizza from the Cottage Inn if, and only if, he
gets his entry to the Daily by the witching hour Friday night.
Warning:- The Great Soaby will personally curse anyone whose
entries total more than one.

White led a vicious U.S. attack
that kept the lead except for the
opening moments of the game
Wednesday night as the Americans
sailed by their first big test in the
Olympic tournament, beating
Yugoslavia, 73-58.
The U.S. led at the half 36-28
and easily increased its margin in
the early stages of the second half,
rolling to its fourth straight vic-
tory as White, wizard of the mid-
court shot, looped in 24 points. z
The victory was ~ the 70th
straight in Olympic play for the
U.S., which has never lost in the
Games in basketball.
The los was the first for Yugo-
slavia after three triumphs.
White pumped in 12 of his points
in the first 20 minutes with some
deadly outside shooting that
shocked the tall Yugoslavians.
