Force captain from Hermosa
Beach, Calif., who staged a bril
liant rally in winning the wom
en’s three-meter springboard div
ing title.
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.

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.”

can basketballers, hitting for 18
points.
The 400-pound Chris Taylor of
Dowagiac, Mich., won on fouls
over Iranian Moslem Filabi, who
kept backing away from the
