RICK DeMONT, whose asthma condi-
tion caused his disqualification in the
Olympic games, came within .03 of a
world record in the men's 400.
As in most AAU meets the women were
dominating the action. Cincinnati's Deena
Dearduff lowered her own standard in the
100-meter butterfly, touching in at 1:03.86.
The only Michigan entrant in the swim
portion was Tom Szuba, who finished
seventh in the 200-meter backstroke, far
behind winner John Naber of the Ladera
Oaks Aquatic Club.
Stanford's John Hancken set a new
American record in the preliminaries and
then went on to win the 100-meter breast-
stroke, while the women's breaststroke
found an upset when Marcia Morey of
Decatur nipped favored Lynn Colella.
The evening's other victory went to

University of Washington, in the men's
100-meter butterfly.
