OLYMPIC RE
CORDS FALL
Portlander
Advances to
Semi-Finals
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Rome - IUPU - Golden-haired
Chris Von Saltza, 16, Sara
toga, Calif., smashed the
Olympic record for the wom
en's 100-meter freestyle swim
todav when she won her trial
heat by five yards in one min
ute, 1.9 seconds.
The husky schoolgirl
eclipsed by one-tenth of a sec
ond the mark of 1:02.0 set in
1956 by Australia's Dawn
Fraser. She thus became the
first American athlete to
break a record in this year's
Olympics.
Miss Fraser, 21, a secretary
from Sydney who is defend
ing her title in this event, nar
rowly missed her own record
when she won her heat in
1:02.1. Ilsa Konrads, 16, an
Aussie star, was another heat
winner in 1:04.2.
Miss Von Saltza was highly
elated by her new record be
cause "I wasn't really push
ing it." But she admitted, "To
win I'll have to better-close
to a minute. An Olympic rec
ord doesn't do much good if
you don't win in the end."
Portland Girl Qualifies
Carolyn Wood, 14. a speed
ster from Portland, Ore., also
advanced to Saturday's semi
final in the women's 100
meter freestyle when she fin
ished second to Britain's Nata
lie Steward in her heat. Miss
Wood's clocking of 1:04.3 was
sixth best among the 16 quali
fiers. The new record capped a
series of encouraging per
formances by U. S. athletes,
even if Russia did draw first
blood in the battle for the un
official team title by winning
an unexpected bronze medal
in cycling.
The first gold medal of the
games-only one to be decided
today went, fittingly, to host
Italy, and the first record to
be broken fell to a German
to Fast Start
But four swift swimmers
sent the United States off to
a fast start by qualifying in
morning competition and then
Miss Von Saltza took over.
White-haired Lance Larson,
El Monte, Calif., posted the
fastest time in heats for the
men's 100-meter freestyle
swim when he was timed in
55.7 seconds-only three-tenths
of a second over the Olympic
record.
Larson was joined in quali
fying for this afternoon's semi
finals by Bruce Hunter, Cam
bridge, Mass., and a few min
utes later Patty Kempner,
Beverly Hills, Calif., and
Anne Warner, Menlo Park,
Calif., qualified for Saturday's
final in the women's 200
meter breast stroke although j
neither won her trial heat. i
But Italy, which has gone '
all out lo stage the games of
the XVII Olympiad, reaped
its first reward when its 100
meter cycling team captured
the first gold medal to be de
cided in the games.
Heat Is Terrific
The four-man Italian team
covered the distance of about
63 miles down beautiful high
ways from the cycling stadium
here toward Ostia in 2:14:
33.53, ignoring blazing sun
and terrific heat. A German
team composed of East Ger
mans took the silver medal for
second place in 2:16:56.31. The
competition was run against
the clock.
Russia also got off to a suc
cessful start in basketball,
where it hopes to upset the
United States for the first
time. Even though the Soviets
kept highly publicized 7-foot,
2-inch Jan Kruminisch on the
bench, they still had too much
height for Mexico and scored
an easy 66-49 victory,
Wiltrud Urselmann of Ger
many set the first record when
she won her heat in the
women's 200-metcr breast
stroke in 2:52.0. breaking the
mark of 2:53.1 set by U. Happe
of Germany in 1956.
Hunter, the first Yank to
see action today, streaked to
victory in his heat of the men's
100-meter freestyle in 56.5
seconds.
The start of the red
hot swimming competition
marked the "down to busi
ness" phase of the games, now
that the pomp and ceremony
of opening day are over.
The United States was rep
resented by entries in eight of
the 10 events on the first full
scale program of this XVII
Olympiad, which included
competition in the modern
pentathlon, swimming, cyc
ling, canoeing, basketball,
field hockey, wrestling, water
polo, boxing and soccer.

FIRST U. S. WINNER Olympic swim
mer Bruce Hunter, 21, Cambridge, Mass.,
wears a victory smile after successfully
leading Uncle Sam's athletic forces into
Olympic action today by winning his qual
ifying heat in the 100-meter freestyle in
56.6 seconds. Hunter was the first U. S.
winner in the Olympics which started
Thursday.

no fluke, the young twosome

bles tournament here this
week as if they intended' to
win it.
