> Fiberglass may give pole vaulters nothing more than a mental lift over their aluminum-and steel-equipped competitors. But it does seem to have something. At the Mount San Antonio Relays at Walnut, Calif., Marine 1st Lieut. David Tork, 27, who had never before topped 15 ft. 8 1/4 in., easily cleared 15 ft. 7 in., then asked for the bar to be put up to 16 ft. 2 in. On his second try he sailed over to beat John Uelses' month-old world record by 1 1/4 in.

The two will meet face to face at the Fresno, Calif., West Coast Relays this week, and again at the Los Angeles Coliseum next week. Tork's goal: 17 ft., which seems not too far out of reach considering the fact that he narrowly missed 16 ft. 5 in. just after setting the new record.

> Down 3-2 at the half, Lisbon's Benfica soccer team rallied on two goals by 19-year-old Eusebio da Silva, defeated Real Madrid, 5-3, to retain the European Cup.

> The starting flag fell prematurely in the annual Miami-to-Nassau powerboat race, sent speedboats scuttling wildly across each other's wakes, resulted in a collision between a Coast Guard patrol boat and a 40-ft. cruiser. For once the choppy ocean course was placid and the race went to the swift, not the sturdy. The winner: Aokone, a light 25-ft. runabout powered by twin 280-h.p. Mercury engines and skippered by Florida's John Bakos. Aokone covered the 182-mile distance in a record 3 hr. 42 min. 20 sec., at an average speed of 49 m.p.h.
