Scoreboard

P:Russia's Yuri Stepanov could not achieve enough altitude to win a place on his nation's Olympic high-jumping squad. But last week, at a Leningrad meet, he took his usual short sprint toward the bar, flung himself skywards and crashed into the landing pit with a new world record--7 ft. 1 in.

P:This week Cleveland's Pitching Ace Herb Score will put on his uniform, work out his talented left arm for the first time since May 7, when he was struck on the right eye by a bullet line-drive hit by the Yankees' Gil McDougald. For a while doctors had feared for Score's sight. But last week Dr. Charles Thomas made an encouraging prognosis: "My reports on Score are good. I don't believe he will have any trouble with depth perception."

P:In Hawaii last week, Australia's Olympic Swimming Champion Dawn Fraser broke her 100-yard world record with a time of 56.3, drove on to tie her 100-meter world record of 1:02. In the same meet Teammate Lorraine Crapp, also an Olympic champ, set a world record for the Soo-meter grind in 10:24.3. Dawn and Lorraine later announced that they will enter the U.S. women's outdoor championships next month in Houston.

P:Thundering into the homestretch, Jockey Conn McCreary last week urged three-year-old Clem to the head of the seven-horse pack, galloped across the line if lengths ahead of Kentucky Derby Champ Iron Liege to win the $151,500 Arlington Classic at Arlington Park outside Chicago.
