The previous best: 199 by Bob Charles at Houston.

TENNIS—Wimbledon Champion MARGARET SMITH, after losing to Darlene Hard at the Pennsylvania championships, returned to form and reached the finals of the Eastern Grass Court tournament in South Orange, N.J. without dropping a set.

The men's final lasted a little longer, 77 minutes, as University of Virginia law student EUGENE SCOTT of St. James, N.Y., trounced Davis Cupper Marty Riessen, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to become the first eastern player to win the Easterns since Dick Savitt in 1957.

In the Boys' (16 and under) Division the seedings were a bit more in balance as top-seeded BILL HARRIS, 16, of West Palm Beach, Fla. defeated unseeded Chuck Brainard, 15, of Hamtramck, Mich. in the finals 6-1, 6-0.

TRACK & FIELD—The touring U.S. men's track team outraced and outjumped West Germany in Hanover in 18 of 21 events to win the meet 141 points to 82. Then in London, John Pennel vaulted 16 feet 10¼ inches to better his own world record, and our men beat the British 120 to 91 to close the tour with four straight victories. The pathetic American women's team did just the opposite. After losing to Russia and Poland, the girls took only three of 11 events against the West Germans who, paced by sprint star Jutta Heine (SI, Jan. 28), won 71 points to 45. In London our girls came close, but not close enough, losing 56 to 50 as the British girls' 440-yard relay team set a world record of 45.2.
