For both Spitz and Capt. King it was a redeeming triumph for heartbreak failures in the Games four years ago. Spitz shaved more than a full second off his own world record in leading a 1-2-3 American sweep in the men’s 200-meter butterfly in 2:00.70, and came back later to anchor the men’s 400-meter freestyle relay team to a world mark of 2:26.42. In all, the United States col lected eight medals: three gold, two silver and three bronze- pressed only by East Germany, with seven, including two golds. The massive Soviet Union squad got its first medal—a silver—by finishing second in the men’s 400-meter relay swimming race. Later the Russians picked up their first gold, winning the women’s gymnastics. The Soviet girls scored a com bined total of 380.50 points — 189.15 for the optional exercises and 191.35 for the compulsories— to 376.55 for the runner-up East Germans and 368.25 for third- place Hungary. The United States was fourth with 365.90. “I remembered what happened in Mexico,” said the handsome Spitz, from the University of In diana, in recalling that he failed to win a single individual medal in 1968. “I was a little nervous because of that.” Miss Gould lived up to all her press notices with a magnificent, record-snapping victory in the women’s 2 0 0 - meter individual medley. Miss King, trailing two Swed ish divers going into Monday night’s final two dives, staged a plucky rally to grab the lead on the eighth dive, then proceeded to pull away with the succeeding two routines. She had a near-perfect one and one-half somersault with a one and one-half twist on her final dive. The shapely, 5-foot-7 Univer sity of Michigan graduate, fourth at Mexico City four years ago, had a point total of 450.03. Urika Knape, a 17-year-old Swedish girl, took the silver medal with 434.19 and Marina Janicke of East Germany the bronze with 430.92. Little Janet Ely of Albuquer que, N.M., finished fourth among the 12 finalists. The American “Fuzz Kids” of the basketball court won again, beating Australia 81-55 for their second victory of the round robin and their 57th without a defeat in Olympic History, and silver and bronze medals were grabbed in rifle shooting and white water canoe slalom. TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED American boxers scored their second triumph in as many out ings when the tough, 32-year-old Marine Sergeant, Ray Russell, stopped Stephen Thege of Kenya with 20 seconds remaining in the first round of their light heavy weight bout. The U.S. was not overly im pressive in basketball although coach Hank Iba substituted lib erally. Russia, with a good per formance by 7-foot-l Sergeio Kovalenko, beat East Germany 87-63 and Brazil, the Pan-Ameri can champion, smothered Egypt ‘It’s Heavy,’ Says Miss King (A*)—“This is heavy around my neck,” American diver Micki King said as she fondled her Olympic gold medal, “but I love every ounce of it.” Miss King waltzed to victory Monday night in the women’s three-meter springboard diving competition, whipping runnerup Ulrika Knape of Sweden by al most 16 points. “I’ve been diving for 18 years,” said Miss King, a 28 year-old Air Force captain. “That is longer than the girl who came in second has been living.” Miss Knape is a 17-year-old high school student. The slender, 5-foot-7 champion suffered a broken arm on her next to last dive at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and was forced to settle for fourth place after having been a strong con tender for the gold medal. “I never did try that dive again,” she said, smiling all the while. “But I never got afraid, and I’m enjoying diving as much as when I was 12 years old.” Asked if she might take a shot at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Miss King pointed to the 10-meter platform in Mun ich’s Olympic swimming hall, and said, “First I’ve got to go up there and try to win another gold medal later this week. But as far as 1976 is concerned, I would say that’s probably not a possibility. “About one more summer of diving and I will have had it.” Medal Winners Medal winners in the Olympic Games after the second day of competition: Country G S B Tot USA 3 2 3 8 E.

The 400-pound Chris Taylor of Dowagiac, Mich., won on fouls over Iranian Moslem Filabi, who kept backing away from the American super heavyweight. Taylor lost a decision Sunday night to world champion Alex ander Medved of the Soviet Un ion, but it was later found that he was penalized unfairly twice by a Turkish judge. The judge was dismissed but the defeat for Taylor remained. Wayne Wells, a Norman, Okla., law student, in the 163- pound class pinned Mongolian Danyandar Jaa Serbeter in 35 seconds of the third round. The Peterson brothers, Ben and John of Comstock, Wis., both won. Ben pinned Mexican Paul Garcia in 8:09 in the 198-pound division and John outpointed Peter Neumair of West Germany in the 180.5 pound class. The first American to be elim inated was heavyweight Hank Schenk of Portland, Ore., beaten by Alfons Hecher of West Ger many. Flyweight Davey Armstrong, a 17-year-old Tacoma, Wash., high school student, and welterweight Jesse Valdez, a U.S. Army ser geant from Houston, gave the U.S. its third and fourth boxing victories. The fourth place finish by the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, led by 4-foot-ll Cathy Rigby of Los Alamitos, Calif., was the highest by an American team in Olympic history. Veteran Imre Foeldi of Hun gary won the gold medal in the bantamweight weightlifting com petition with a total lift of 830.5 pounds for Olympic and world records. Mohamed Nissiri of Iran, the defending champion, was second and Gennadi Chetin of Russia third.
