U.S. begins medal rush
MOSCOW 0P)-Pert Cathy Carr.
Olympic gold medalist and world
record-holder, paced U.S. swim-
mers to three gold medals yes-
terday that stemmed the tide of
Soviet Union successes in the
World University Games.
The U.S. men's and women's
basketball teams continued win-
ning streaks that sent them
closer to Friday showdowns with
the favored Russians, both un-
beaten.
The fired-up, young American
men's team trounced Czechoslo-
vakia 110-59 for its fifth straight
triumph at a 100-plus scoring
rate, while the women turned
back Bulgaria 57-50 for their
fourth in a row -since losing to
the Russians in the first game.
THE RUSSIANS scored in the
men's 100-meter freestyle swim-
ming race, men's springboard
diving and two tennis doubles
for four gold medals which boost-
ed their overall total of 48 gold,
23 silver and 22 bronze-a land-
slide-but they finally met their
match at the storm-hit stadium
swimming center.
M at Moscow
Michigan athletes fared well
in yesterday's competition at
the World University Games.
Bill Davids became the first
American to win an interna-
tional medal in Greco-Roman
style wrestling, finishing third
in the 1251/2 pound class. Steve
Schenthal finished fourth in
springboard diving. And Byron
McDonald, swimming for Can-
ada, finished second in the 100
meter butterfly.
There the American water wiz-
ards won three gold, a silver and
three bronze, including men's
diving, for the day's top honors
in the swimming and diving
events.
This latest haul gave the United
States five gold medals, four
silver and 12 bronze and sent
them into second place in the
unofficial medal standings.
THE GAMES - were marred
when uniformed Red Army sol-
diers ripped apart an Israeli
flag during a basketball game
between Israel and Puerto Rico.
The opening of the swimming
competition was hindered by a
violent thunderstorm w h i c h
drenched some 1,000 spectators
in the outdoor pool and rippled
the water. There were flashes
of lightning and thunder in the
background throughout the pro-
gram.
Miss Carr, an 18-year-old
University of New Mexico stu-
dent, captured the women's 200-
meter breaststroke in the Games
record time of 2 minutes, 42.3
seconds, standing off a late rush
by Russia's Ludmilla Porubai-
ko, who touched in 2:42.7.
HER TIME bettered the mark
held by Galina Stedanova of the
Soviet Union by 3.1 seconds but
was some four seconds off Ca-
thy's own world mark. She won
two gold medals at Munich.
The other American swimming
victories came in the women's
100 meter freestyle, won by 6-
foot Sally Tuttle of Ventura,
Calif. College in 1:03.0, and the
men's 100-meter butterfly, won
by Allen Poucher, 18 - year - old
University of Southern Califor-
nia student from Jacksonville,
Fla., in 56.4.
VLADIMIR BURRE was the
Russian who beat America's 100
meter freestyle specialists in 52
seconds flat, with Kenneth Knox
of Glen Ridge, N.J., a University
of Tennessee ace, second in 52.9
and Dean Anderson of Stanford
University third in 53.3.
Vyacheslav Strakov led a 1-2
finish in the men's springboard
diving. Vladimir Vasin, a team-
mate, got the silver and Steve
McFarland of Amarillo, Tex.,
and the University of Miami set-
tling for the bronze.
