Scoreboard

P: At the National A.A.U. track and field championships at Bakersfield, Calif., last chance for U.S. athletes to qualify for the final Olympic trials in Los Angeles this week, Abilene Christian's blond blur, Bobby Morrow, paced the sprinters with a world-record-tying 0:10.2 in a 100-meter heat. (At Berkeley doctors hoped that Duke's David Sime, recuperating from a pulled groin muscle, would be able to resume his duel with Morrow at Los Angeles and try for an Olympic berth.) Pitt's lithe Negro star Arnie Sowell easily stood off Olympic Champion Mai Whitfield in an 800-meter heat and set a new A.A.U. record of 1 :49.8. For the first time in four years, World Record Holder Parry O'Brien was beaten in the shotput, edged by New York Pioneer Club's Ken Bantum's 59-ft.1 1/2-in. put. The standout performance of the championships: in a 110-meter high-hurdles heat, Navy Hurdler Jack Davis, a poor starter, managed to get away with the gun, and broke the tape in 13.4 seconds, a new world record.

P: Carrying 130 lbs. in the Inglewood Handicap at Hollywood Park, California-bred Swaps responded to one whack of Willie Shoemaker's bat and galloped to a new world record of 1 minute 39 seconds for the mile-and-a-sixteenth course. It was Swaps's second world record in his last two starts: he snapped Citation's six-year-old mile record two weeks ago with a mark of 1:33 1/5.
