P:Only eight days after she lowered the women's 440-yd., free-style swimming record to 5:07, Australia's Lorraine Crapp, 17, put on her "old lucky swim suit" (the frayed shoulder straps held together with a piece of string) and competed against the clock in a Sydney saltwater pool. Result: a new world's record for the 880-yd. freestyle: 10:36.4. On the way, she churned past the 800-meter flags in a record-breaking 10:30.9.

P:Horses once owned by the late sportsman. William Woodward Jr., continued to sell for astonishing prices. After buying 39 of the Belair Stud thoroughbreds for $410,000, Miss Mildred Woolwine and her partners resold the lot at Keeneland, Ky. for a 125% profit. With Segula, dam of Nashua, bringing a record auction price for a U.S. broodmare ($126,000), Kentucky Horsewoman Woolwine and her friends collected a total of $924,100. Nashua's sire, Nasrullah, also proved that he was worth a pretty penny. A syndicate headed by Kentucky's Thoroughbred Breeder A. B. ("Bull") Hancock paid the Belair Stud estate $251,100 for a slim one-seventh share of the great stallion's services, a price that estimates Nasrullah's total value at $1,757,700.
