>Six days after announcing that an unheralded Soviet discus thrower had set a new world record of 202 ft. 2| in., Moscow trumpeted still more exultant news: Broad Jumper Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, 24, who placed third in the 1960 Olympics, had sailed 27 ft. 3 in. during a meet in Armenia, thus smashing the 27-ft. 1 1/4-in. world record set by U.S. Olympic Champion Ralph Boston in last year's U.S.Soviet track meet in Moscow. Preparing for the fourth U.S.-Soviet track meet in Palo Alto, Calif, next month the Russians had two other new records to announce in the ladies' division. At a meet in Leipzig, East Germany, muscular Shotputter Tamara Press had boosted her record with the 8.8-lb. women's shot to 60 ft. 10 1/4 in.; at the same meet, Broad Jumper Tatyana Shelkanova broke her own record with a leap of 21 ft. 5 in.

> ''It looked like the whole ocean was coming up in slow motion when he came out of the water. Every time he jumped and went back in. it was like bombs hitting the water." On an annual fishing trip to Cape Hatteras. N.C.. Gary Stukes, 37, a sales engineer from Morristown. N.J., had hooked into an angler's dream: a huge blue marlin with a bill like a baseball bat and a temperament to match. In the first few seconds the leaping, head-shaking fish ripped off 400 yds. of 130-lb. test line; it took another 1 hr. 20 min. to get the giant blue into the boat. It measured an even 14 ft. from bill to scythelike tail, and weighed 810 Ibs.--a new world record, 30 Ibs. heavier than the previous record caught three years ago off San Juan, P.R.

> One drive curved over onto the wrong fairway, and his irons caught the rough with distressing regularity. But Richard Davies, 31-year-old Pasadena, Calif., real estate man, still managed to beat Welshman John Povall one up in the 36-hole match play final, thus becoming the twelfth American to win the British Amateur golf championship, second only to the U.S. amateur as a prize for play-for-fun golfers.

> Stroking at a low beat with power and precision. Cornell's twice-beaten varsity crew pulled past the rest of the 13-boat field about a mile out and raced through the final two miles to win the grueling 60th Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship two lengths ahead of previously undefeated Washington on Syracuse's Onondaga Lake. The Big Red will probably race next against one of Soviet Russia's always strong eight-oared crews at the Fourth of July Independence Day Regatta in Philadelphia.
