The handsome Californian has nothing to fear tonight. It’s not until Thursday night that he goes after the fourth of what he hopes will be an incredible seven gold medals. But starting next week, the United States may have plenty to fear—mainly the thought of an Olympic swimming team without Mark Spitz. The 22-year-old Indiana Uni versity dental student racked up his third world record in garner ing his third gold of these 20th Summer Games Tuesday, slashing his way to victory in the men's 200-meter freestyle. Then he told a television inter viewer that, whether or not he achieves his seven-gold goal, these Games will probably be his last international competition. “I have no plans for swimming any more at all, really,” Spitz said. “I won't have the time. I’ll swim until Monday.” The bronzed, mustachioed Spitz sliced through the water in the 200 freestyle in 1:52.78, unleash ing a torpedo-like final lap to shatter his own world mark of 1:53.50 as well as the Olympic standard of 1:55.29 formerly own ed by fourth-place finisher Mark Wenden of Australia. eight ahead of the Soviet Union. Winning the silver was UCLA student Steve Genter of Lake- wood, Calif. Werner Lampe of West Germany was third. Spitz, of course, wasn’t the only American to do well. The United States already owns 15 medals—five gold, six silver and four bronze. That’s six more than runner-up East Germany and One of those golds went Tues day to a California high school student—the Golden State really seems to be living up to its nick name here—in what has to be one of the biggest upsets of the Games thus far. than a tenth of a second Gould’s world mark. § A«5 buil«J “I’m just so excited not with*. f Sandra N e i 1 s o n, a giggly, dimpled lass from El Monte, Calif., wrecked Australian wiz- zard Shane Gould’s bid for four personal golds by winning the women’s 100-meter freestyle in an Olympic-record 58.59 — less son bubbled. “I just ttt, get out there and winitfdeck< I got out there I knew I o it.” But how, she was asM she feel about beating the Aussie, who had to sets third behind Shirley Bal of Fountain Valley, Calif, j “She’s a girl—just lij Miss Nielson said of Misjj NOW BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.

Ancient Basketball Olympic Swimmers, Record Preserve Divers Faulter | chssi- floor » By WILL GRIMSLEY MUNICH <SP) — The United States’ plucky, young basketball team came from seven points back in the final half for a 61-54 victory over Brazil Wednesday that preserved a 36-year perfect record in the Olympic Games. However, it was a bad day for Uncle Sam at the swimming pool where a curly-haired Russian, Vladimir Vasin, ended a 60-year American domination of the men’s springboard diving event and the Yanks were able to salvage only a single gold medal in four cham pionship races. That one was made possible only by a brilliant last-lap effort on the part of a 15-year-old Cali fornia schoolgirl, Shirley Baba- shoff, which gave the Americans a close world record-shattering victory in the women’s 400-meter freestyle relay. It was in basketball that the Americans received their severest scare of these five-day-old games, which come fully alive Thursday with the start of the blue ribbon track and field. Paced by the 6-foot-8 Marcos Badalla and the aggressive 6-5 Maciel Ubiratan Pereira, who led them to the Pan-American title a year ago, the Brazilians fought the favored Americans to a 26-26 standstill at the half and then moved in front midway in the final period. This was a moment to test the mettle and choking point of a collection of collegians averaging only 20.6 years in age, the young est ever fielded by an American team in this international spec tacle. The answer came quickly and decisively. Doug Collins, a 6-6 guard from Benton, 111., hit a short jump shot with 8:16 to go, sending the Yanks ahead 46-45. Then, when the Brazilians surged back, Collins bounced back to make it 48-47. Ed Ratleef of Long Beach State scored six of the last eight points. It was the 59th basketball vic tory without a defeat for a U.S. Olympic team. This one now goes into the semifinals, favored to win another gold. The Americans took a jolt in the three-meter board diving, a specialty they hadn’t lost since 1912. Vasin, with a superb series of finishing dives, won the gold medal, beating out Franco Cag- notto, a 5-foot-3 Italian, with Craig Lincoln of Hopkinsf having to be satisfied bronze medal. In swimming, where ttetj States has been gatherings in clusters, the rest of ting caught up with the red,i blue water wonders—at leai porarily.

Teaff put the offensive unit through a whole afternoon of work against Georgia defenses while the defensive unit worked against the Bulldogs’ offensive maneuvers. The Bears open the season against nationally ranked Georgia in Athens Sept. 16. Teaff said that the passing game was greatly improved most ly because the quarterbacks were getting used to throwing in pads. “It’s still a toss-up. Anybody can take over,” he said, referring to the three-man race for the starting quarterback position. Four more defensive players, tackle Barry Pledger of Waco Midway, cornerback Rickie Duff of Dallas, rover Tommy Turnip- seed of Beeville and cornerback Ira Dean of Houston received hitters stars in the workout. Every man on the defensive first team is now wearing a hit ter’s star. Speaking of Pledger, Teaff said: “We had high hopes for this young man and he came through. He is exhibiting what it takes to win. He is working hard and he is going to help us.” NEW YORK 'A)_J»di laus’ victory in the U.S. sional Match Play golf cl ship — his sixth toumaing!| umph of the season — money winning mark to aa $280,482 for the year, the Ii ment Players Division f!
