FACES IN THE CROWD

John Olagues, a sophomore right-hander at Tulane, struck out 20 batters as he pitched the Green Wave to a 7-0, one-hit victory over Mississippi. Olagues walked two men, struck out the side in order five times, and in one stretch got nine strikeouts in a row.

Diane Fournier of Rumford, Me. won the girls' junior Class I event, a mile-long, 38-gate giant slalom, at the Sugarloaf Schuss Ski Races in Kingfield, with a clocking of 85.6 seconds. Laurel Des-Roches, an Eastern Junior Alpine teammate, finished second.

Robert Batie, a senior at Waialua High in rural Oahu, Hawaii, ran 13 heat and final events in two track meets in three days and took six out of seven possible firsts. He also set Leeward Oahu High School meet records in three events and tied a state mark in the 100.
