Scoreboard
P: Irish Ron Delany was jogging along in fine style when he heard the announcer report that Pacesetter Phil Coleman had finished the first three-quarters of the Bankers' Mile at the Chicago Relays in a fast 3:05. "I was only a stride behind," said Ron, and I could feel the energy flowing. I decided this was it." So the 22-year-old Villanova senior ran all out for the one thing that has been missing from his swift career on the track: a world record. He broke the tape in 4:03.4, two-tenths of a second faster than any man had ever run an indoor mile before. P: Overflowing with swimming talent as always, Yale Coach Bob Kiphuth took a couple of flipper-footed juniors to the Eastern Intercollegiate championships at Annapolis and saw them collect three titles apiece. Burly Roger Anderson accounted for the 100-, 220-and 440-yd.
free-style championships; slim Tim Jecko splashed off with the 100-and 200-yd. butterfly and the 200-yd. individual medley as well. P: Although their only national champion, Epee Expert James Margolis, was sidelined with a pulled tendon, Columbia University swordsmen lunged across the ballroom of The Bronx's Concourse Plaza Hotel with such swashbuckling skill that they piled up 71 points in foil, epee and saber bouts, and won the three-weapon intercollegiate title. Second: N.Y.U. with 66. P: The Fish and Wildlife Service reported an alltime record sale of 19,276,767 fishing licenses and 14,918,416 hunting licenses in fiscal 1957. California, which led the U.S. in fishermen, reported a sobering development: the recession has driven its hunters to poaching deer out of season to put meat on the family table.
