FACES IN THE CROWD

Delman McNabb, a senior at Lake Charles (La.) High School, hurled the javelin 231 feet 1½ inches to break the national scholastic mark by 5 feet 7 inches in a state meet. Delman, a star footballer as well, will enter McNeese State College on a track scholarship next fall.
Doris Riley, who earns a living exercising horses, was one of nine lady jockeys to enter the 12th Powder Puff Preakness at Pimlico. She engineered Freight Train over the five furlongs in a creditable 1:00[1/5] to become the winning jockeyette for the fourth time.
Malcolm LeBlanc, 25, furiously paddled his dugout canoe over a rugged four-mile course on Bayou Barataria—former Louisiana hideaway of Pirate Jean Lafitte—and slid past 15 contenders to stash away his fifth consecutive world pirogue championship.
Mrs. Lorene Ellis, a Nabesna housewife and mother of four, was awarded the first Klineburger Trophy as the 49th state's "big-game hunter of the year." She achieved the honor by bagging a near-world-record moose five miles from her Alaska home.
Bill Brown, 18, a senior at Creighton Prep in Omaha, won the state high school tennis title an unprecedented fourth time. Making good use of a powerful serve, he has blasted his way to victory in 15 matches this spring without dropping a set.
