Jayhawk Billy Mills Wins Olympic First
TOKYO — (UPI)— Slender Billy Mills of Coffeyville, a 1961 graduate of KU, a 26-year-old Marine lieutenant with Sioux Indian ancestry, gave the United States an historic first victory in the Olympic 10,000 meter run today, and American aquatic stars won four more gold medals tonight with three world records.
Included in the haul, which brought the U.S. total of gold medals to seven for these Olympics, was a 1-2-3 Yank sweep of the men's springboard diving, led by 19-year-old Ken Sitzberger of River Forest, Ill.
Mills, 26, a 5-11, 155 pounder who never won a big race before in his life, was the first American in history every to win a gold medal at the man-killing distance of slightly more than six miles.
THE FORMER KU track ace, now a U.S. Marine licutenant, briefly surrendered his lead at the start of the final lap, but burst through with a blazing finishing kick and won by three yards in the Olympic record time of 28 minutes, 24.4 seconds, for America's third gold medal of the games.
MILLS GAVE the United States its only track medal in the three final events on this gray, rainy day but Yank performances in trial track heats and prospects in swimming tonight indicated a major medal haul was in the offing.
Cathy Ferguson, a 16-year-old high school girl from Burbank, Calif., swept to an upset victory in the women's 100 meter backstroke in the world record time of 1:07.7. The men's 400 meter free style relay team, anchored by Don Schollander of Lake Oswego, Ore., set a world mark of 3:33.2 en route to its triumph.
Then Dick Roth of Atherton, Calif.,
splashed to victory in the men's 400 meter individual medley in the world record time of 4.45.4, with teammate Roy Sarsi of El Segundo, Calif., right behind for the silver medal.
