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 Robin- Backhaus, soon to be seen at the University of Washington, in the men's 100-meter butterfly. 705 Baltimore Detroit * Boston New York Milwaukee Cleveland W i, Pci.
