> Al Oerter, 25, two-time Olympic gold medal winner: the discus throw in the U.S.-Poland track meet, with a heave of 204 ft. 10½ in., breaking Russian Vladimir Trusenev's world record by 2 ft. 8 in. The U.S. won the meet, 131-81.

> Murle MacKenzie Lindstrom. 23, a little-known Florida professional golfer: the U.S. Women's Open at Myrtle Beach, S.C., with one of the highest 72-hole scores (301) ever to win the 17-year-old tournament. Without a single victory to her credit in six years on the women's tour. Mrs. Lindstrom trailed the leader by six strokes after the first round and seemed out of it again. But she steadied in the next two rounds, fired a sharp last-round 73 in the rain to win by two strokes from Jo Ann Prentice and Ruth Jessen. Defending Champion Mickey Wright wound up tied for fourth with 306.

> Soviet Russia's smooth-stroking crews: the annual Independence Day regatta, in a sweep of all three international events —single sculls, double sculls and the eight-oared race—before a crowd of 50,000 lining the banks of the 2,000-meter course on Philadelphia's Schuylkill River.
