A roundup of the sports information of the week

BASEBALL—Harris County voters in Texas, in the largest turn-out for a bond issue in county history, voted $22 million to build this country's first domed, air-conditioned stadium in Houston. Excavation began 48 hours later. Houston holds a National League franchise to start in 1962.

BASKETBALL—The BOSTON CELTICS, with double victories over New York and St. Louis, continued to lead the Philadelphia Warriors by 5½ games in the Eastern Division of the NBA. They held it despite four straight Philadelphia victories behind a high-scoring Wilt Chamberlain, who averaged over 44 points for the Warriors. In the Western Division the St. Louis Hawks still flew at the head of their division, 10 games in front of Detroit.

In the NIBL, Cleveland, even with two successive home losses, to Akron and Denver, continued to lead the Eastern Division by 6½ games. Denver, with six straight wins on the road, led the Western Division by 3½ games.

BOATING—PAPER TIGER, Jack Powell's 40-foot yawl out of St. Petersburg, Fla., won the Southern Ocean Racing Circuit title with 292.5 points, after first taking the 184-mile Miami to Nassau race on corrected time, and placing 10th to J. W. Hershey's Ca Va II in the 30-mile Nassau Cup race. Second in the SORC championship was the 40-foot cutter Fun, coskippered by Bus Mosbacher and Lee Loomis of New York.

HOCKEY—The TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS, after finally catching up with the league-leading Montreal Canadiens, hustled into a three-point lead. To do it, the Maple Leafs twice defeated Detroit (the first game a 5-0 shutout), then tied Chicago, while the Canadiens, after beating the New York Rangers, fell to Chicago (4-1) and Detroit (7-2) and right out of first place.

SWIMMING—NAVY snapped the longest winning streak in sports by beating Yale 48-47 before 2,300 shouting midshipmen at Annapolis. The end of Yale's 201 consecutive swimming victories (the last team to beat them was Army back in 1945) came on the last lap of the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, when Anchorman Don Diget caught and passed Yale's Jim Guthrie. Navy's most important victory, and the one that gave them the psychological boost to win ("We went for broke," said Navy Coach John Higgins later), was in the first race, the 400-yard medley relay, in which the Middies edged Yale and took an important 7-0 lead. Yale came back to tie the score at 26-26 after six events, at 35-35 after eight and even took a 46-36 lead with only two races remaining; but then Don Griffin won the 200-yard breaststroke to set up Navy's three-inch victory in the freestyle relay. "From now on they'll say, 'Navy did it,'" proclaimed a jubilant Navy Captain Dick Oldham.

TENNIS—In its annual meeting in New Orleans the USLTA approved an open plan of sorts to be presented to the International Lawn Tennis Federation at Stockholm next July (see page 8). The USLTA, on the recommendation of President George E. Barnes, also called for Davis Cup nations to amend rules to permit a semiprofessional Davis Cup team—the pros to play in two of the four singles matches and one pro to play in the doubles match. The USLTA also chose David Freed, 51-year-old Salt Lake City businessman, to captain the U.S. Davis Cup team again in 1961. "Hope springs eternal in the human breast," said Freed, accepting the job.

TRACK & FIELD—In the MILLROSE GAMES at Madison Square Garden, four Manhattan seniors (John Corry, Kye Courtney, Larry St. Clair and Artie Evans) set an indoor world record for the two-mile relay of 7:32.8. Wilma Rudolph of Tennessee State tied the world record for the 60-yard dash with a time of 6.9, while Hayes Jones of Eastern Michigan tied the world record for the 60-yard high hurdles in seven seconds flat. New-York University's mile relay team set a meet mark of 3:16.9. The Wanamaker Mile was won by Istvan Rozsavolgyi of Hungary in 4:06. Frank Budd of Villanova took the 60-yard dash in 6.2, and Al Lawrence of Houston matched the meet record for two miles in 8:52.8. John Thomas won the high jump with a leap of 7 feet. Henry Wads-worth of University of Florida beat Don Bragg in the pole vault with 15 feet 4 inches. Ralph Boston of Tennessee State took the broad jump with a leap of 25 feet 9 inches.
