P:American trackmen teamed up with their New Zealand rivals in Auckland to set a spate of records. Californian Parry O'Brien put the shot 58 ft. 4 in., and heaved the discus 159 ft. 3 in., for New Zealand marks. Helped by a following wind, Texan Bobby Morrow ran off a world-record-tying loo-yd. dash (09.3 sec.). New Zealander Murray Halberg also contributed a local record with an impressive 4:02.2 mile P:Proving just how far professional football had progressed as a crowd pleaser, President Jack Mara of the New York Giants calmly turned down an offer of $1,000,000 for the club that had been bought 30 years ago for $2,500. "The offer wasn't even as high as the bid for Nashua [$1,251,200]," said Mara. P:There was bad news in Brooklyn. Johnny Podres, southpaw pitching hero of the first World Series-winning Dodger team, was classified iA, is almost certain to get "greetings" from the Government before the season starts. His loss will leave Brooklyn with only two lefthanders: Karl Spooner and Sandy Koufax.
