VANCOUVER SUN: Aug. 2, 1967 i 1 I 4 AT PAN-AMERICAN GAMES Youthful Swim Team liiceeded Expectations i WINNIPEG (CP)-When the JftA Jhjl r.vps. wa two 1 and three silvers. Freestyler Marion Lay of Vancouver, butterfly expert Marilyn Corson of Parry Sound, and the surprising Angela Coughlan, 14, of Burlington, all won "four medals. George Wiskin of Toronto, coach of the men's team, said: "We set pretty high targets for the boys in the Games and I think the fact we broke nine native records indicates our in reaching them." -f Only in the breaststroke did Canadians show a weak xs wy neSS.

v. SANDY GILCHRIST five medals Of the five events in which Canada failed to win a medal ran-American uames opened, the United States was favored to take the first two spots in virtually aE 29 swimming events staged at the new 'Pan-Am pool. Canada was rated as the No. 2 team almost across the board. On that basis the 14 men and 12 women who comprised the Canadian aquatic squad did better than expected in 10 events and failed in only five.

youthful Canadian swimmers won three gold, 12 silvers, 13 bronze medals 27 of the 65 accumulated by the entire Canadian Pan-Am team so far in the two-week competition which ends Sunday. The 65 medals is the best ever achieved by a Canadian Pan-Am team. Three times Elaine Tanner, possibly the world's best all-around woman swimmer, came up with world-record performances. She won the 100-metre backstroke in one minute, 7.3 seconds and the 200 backstroke in 2:24.4. As lead swimmer on the women's 400 medley relay team, the 16-year-old Vancouver girl lowered her world mark in the 100 backstroke to 1:07.1.

Ralph Hutton, 19, of Ocean Falls, B.C., won a gold medal with an upset in the 200 backstroke. Jose Fiolo of Brazil, who won both the 100 and 200 breaststrokes, was the only other non-American winner in four were in the breaststroke In the medleys, the biggest difference between the win nine Americans and the sec V- is ond-nlace Canadians lay in yj the lack of a strong breast strbker, Every winner in the games established a Pan-Am record 11 i i i as Three American girls won two gold medals with world- record performances. A Claudia Kolb of Santa Clara, did it in the 400 A C( wSjp3r individual medley Tuesday and earlier in the 200 in dividual medley; Debbie Mey WW rrrsT- er, the 14-year-old American whiz, did it in the 400 and 800 freestyle and Katie Ball of Jacksonville, in the 100 breaststroke and as a member ELAINE TANNER four medals swimming events as the powerful Americans went home with 24 golds in 29 events. The defeats administered by Hut riiiitr of the 400 medley relay. The biggest gold medal winner of all was Mark Spitz, 17, of Santa Clara, who won both butterfly races in world record times and won three more golds as a member of relays.

The Americans have also grabbed pretty well everything that wasn't nailed down in track and field. Tuesday they won all four finals at stake and placed second in three. The only final running event of the day was the 400-metre hurdles, won by Ron Whitney in 50.7 seconds as the field was slowed by brisk winds. Bob McLaren of Victoria just failed to catch Russ Rogers for second place. Canada also won bronze medals in two field events.

George Puce finished third to ton and Fiolo were the first suffered by American men in the last three Fan-Am Games. Aside from the swimming, Canadians came up with a silver-medal performances by Bev Boys of Pickering, in the women's tower diving and a bronze by Kathy McDonald of Vancouver in the women's springboard. While the Americans were smashing 11 world marks, the Canadians slashed native records with reckless abandon. The men broke nine four by Hutton while the women smashed six three by Miss Tanner. Hutton, who lost a gallant fcid to upset world record-holder Mike Burton, 19, of Carmichael, in the freestyle Tuesday i Li MARION LAY four medals Gary Carlsen and Rink Babka in the men's discus, and Jay Dahlgren of Vancouver was next in line behind Barb Friedrich and ReNae Blair in the javelin.
