Team crown possible as gold accumulates
MEXICO CITY (UPI) They're turning into the Olympic home stretch and now the question is: Is the United States building up a medals lead big enough to hold off Russia in the race for the unofficial, but very coveted, team championship?
There still are 19 gold medals to be decided in swimming—including three today—and the U.S. should get the lion's share of those. But gymnastics just started Monday, and that's always a Soviet stronghold. And the Russians are expected to score often in Greco-Roman wrestling which starts Wednesday, in boxing, canoeeing, fencing and a couple of others.
So it's very much up in the air, and the whole issue could be decided by a narrow margin—perhaps by some athlete who

won't make the headlines but toils away in a so-called minor sport and earns a bronze medal.
There were nine medals at stake Monday in swimming and the Yanks won six of them—including gold medals by Doug Russell of Midland, Tex., in the men's 100-meter butterfly and the men's 800-meter relay of John Nelson of Pompano Beach, Fla., Mark Spitz of Santa Clara, Calif., Steve Rerych of Paterson, N.J. and 1964's four-gold medal winner, Don Schollander of Jacksonville, Fla.
Russell upset world record holder Spitz in 55.9 seconds in the finals of the butterfly and Ross Wales of Youngstown, Ohio, made it a sweep by taking the bronze medal. The relay team was clocked in 7:52.3, which was only two tenths over the world record.
But Lynette McClements of Australia blocked an American sweep of all three gold medals on Monday's program by taking the women's 100-meter butterfly over Ellie Daniel of Elkins Park, Pa., with Susie Shields of Louisville, Ky., third.
The United States won two of the five finals in yachting at luxurious Acapulco, some 250 miles from Mexico City, when Lowell North of San Diego, Calif., captured the Star class competition and George "Buddy" Friedreichs of New Orleans skippered the winning boat in the Dragon class.
Rounding out the U.S. total of 11 medals for the day were a silver medal in small bore rifle shooting by Army Lt. John Writer of La Grange, Ill., a silver medal in team dressage in equestrian and a bronze medal for individual dressage in equestrian by Michael Page of Briarcliff, N.Y.

Injuries to two; one ill with mono
Kain interrupted football practice yesterday as the Jayhawks prepared for Iowa State.
Coach Pepper Rodgers said two players were injured Saturday in the Oklahoma State game, and that another one was sick.
Sophomore offensive tackte Larry Brown has a light case of mononucleosis. The injured players were right end Darryl Bright, with a knee injury, and fullback Mike Reeves with an injured hip.
Cross country wins again
Dr. John Barton said Reeves' injury is not serious and that if necessary he should be able to play against Iowa State. But Bright, Barton said, might be out for several weeks or even the rest of the season. Brown's mononucleosis is improving and he might be ready to go in a couple of weeks. Barton added.
The KU cross country track team captured its third straight meet winning the KU invitational here Saturday. KU's Doug Smith, a freshman from Sioux City, Iowa, placed first with a time of 14:36.5 for the three mile course.
It was KU all the way as the Jayhawks took the first six
places for a 15 point total. Butler County Junior College placed second with 57 points
Buller County Junior College placed second with 57 points Earlier this season KU won the Oklahoma State Jamboree at Stillwater and the Southern Illinois meet at Carbondale, III. Saturday the team travels back to Stillwater for the KU-Oklahoma-OSU triangular meet.
We want you to hear the new AR amplifier.
1. It delivers 60 watts per channel continuous power (not "music power"), about as much as transistors and speakers today can stand. That ought to be enough for you.
2. The fanatical AR quality control that makes their speakers so dependable goes double for the stereo amplifier. If you do run into trouble, parts, labor, freight, even a new carton are part of the bargain. Not for just 90 days, either, but for the first two years.
3. Next to the volume control, tone and balance controls are most important. AR engineers have done these circuits in a beautiful new way, instead of going by the book.
