United States increases gold medal total
MEXICO CITY (UPI)—The United States Olympic team stormed back from the disappointing defeat of Jim Ryun Sunday for a fabulous gold medal-winning day-four in track and field to surpass its 1964 showing, and then four more in swimming to boost its overall games lead.
The total of eight victories on the day gave the United States a total of 24 in the games, against eight for Russia, the nearest competitor.

Teachers' strike enters second week in NYC
NEW YORK (UPI)—All-day attempts failed yesterday at ending the city's latest teachers' strike which enters its second week Monday. Mayor John V. Lindsay said the crisis had "degenerated into intolerable racial and religious tensions."
Lindsey held a two-hour meeting with Teachers' Union President Albert Shanker during the afternoon. Afterwards, Shanker told newsmen no progress had been made on ending the third strike of the fall term which has again closed most of the city's 900 schools and kept all but a few of the 1.12 million children away from classrooms.

On a brilliant day before 80,000 fans in the University of Mexico Stadium, the American track and field forces completed their Olympic work with a total of 15 gold medals—surpassing the total of 14 won at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo.
Four times the Star Spangled Banner floated to the peak of the Olympic flagstaff—for triumphs in the men's and women's 400 meter relay, the men's 1600 meter relay, with a World record for each of these, and for a crowd pleasing Olympic record victory by Dick Fosbury of Medford, Ore., in the high jump with his unique backward "Fosbury Flip."
This gave the United States a total of 12 gold medals in men's track and field and three in women's events. At Tokyo, the United States men won 12 times and the women twice.

Kansas prof wins trophy
A KU professor with a penchant for speed won a second place trophy in class B in the Midwest Division Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Championship Autocross Runoffs held Saturday and Sunday at Forbes A.F.B. in Topeka.
Gordon Fitch, assistant professor of business administration, drove his Austin Cooper S to a time of 3 minutes 25.56 seconds—a total of his top times on two different courses.
Fitch was fourth after the Saturday runs, 11 seconds off of the pace, but took top time in class B yesterday to pull within 7.7 seconds of the class winner, Brian Haupt of Mission.
Bill Langsdorf, Topeka senior, was the victim of the only mishap of the event when he flipped his MG Midget in practice before the Sunday runs. Langsdorf suffered severe cuts on two fingers of his right hand which was wedged between his steering wheel and the pavement after the incident.
A short, tight course, marked with rubber cones, was set up on the end of an aircraft taxiway for the Saturday competition. Sunday, a longer open course was designed.
went down to defeat in the finals of the 1,500 meter run when his brilliant finishing kick was not enough to wipe out a 30 meter lead by his arch rival, Kipchoge Keino of Kenya.
The best autocross drivers from Kansas, Kansas City, Wichita and Oklahoma Regions of the SCCA competed in eight classes for their respective Midwest Divisional championships. Each driver was given two one-lap timed runs each day to try to negotiate the courses in the lowest possible times.
