P: Pushing his shotput record still farther out of reach, Air Force Lieut. Parry O'Brien tossed the 16-lb. iron ball 61 ft. 1 in. during an exhibition at an A.A.U. track meet at Salt Lake City, to break his own world outdoor mark by 3 in.

P: Besides winning the 100-yd. dash in 0:9.4, just a tenth of a second off the world record, and taking the 220-yd. dash in 0:20.3, another slim tenth of a second off the world record, Duke Sophomore Dave Sime won the 220-yd. low hurdles in a track meet at Durham, N.C. in 0:22.2. This time he was exactly one-tenth of a second faster than the world record.

P:Putting its new "get tough" policy into effect with a vengeance, the National Collegiate Athletic Association handed down stiff penalties to six member colleges for a wide variety of recruiting violations. Hit hardest, Auburn was put on three-year probation, forbidden to participate in N.C.A.A. championship and invitation events for two years, forbidden to participate in the N.C.A.A.'s nationally televised football series. The Universities of Florida and Louisville drew two years' probation apiece; Texas A. & M., Mississippi College and the University of Kansas all drew a year in the penalty box.

When the long afternoon was over, the Giants had used 25 players and the Cubs 23. Previous major-league record for players used by two clubs in a single game: 42.
