P: World indoor track and field records took a wholesale battering at the National A.A.U. championships in New York City's Madison Square Garden. Boston University's High Jumper John Thomas, whose capabilities seem limitless, cleared 7 ft. 1 1/4 in.--the highest jump in history, indoors or out. Ron Delany, of Villanova and Ireland, who runs to win and no more, got such pressure from a topflight field that he lowered his own indoor mark for the mile to 4:02.5. Air Force Lieut. Bill Bellinger, world indoor record holder at two miles, set a new three-mile record --13:37. Shotputter Parry O'Brien uncorked a heave of 62 ft. 1 1/4 in. to better his own world record. P: The nation's longest college basketball winning streak was snapped rudely at 30 in Lexington, Ky., when Auburn ran into Adolph Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats, took a 75-56 clobbering in a game made lively by fisticuffs.

P:One of turfdom's grand old veterans, Calumet Farm's seven-year-old Bardstown, responded to the urging of Jockey Steve Brooks, survived a foul claim to win the $137,600 Widener Handicap at Florida's Hialeah Park for the second time (the first: 1957).
