The women's 400 freestyle was strictly an Australian affair The owner of the three month old pending wor.d record was 17 year old Aussie Karen Moras. But she got a litt trouble from her good friend Shane, who took the lead quickly Miss Gould was ahead of the record setting pace at every quarter 1:03.8.

"1 felt I had a good lime going, but Karen and I didn't have a plan. We just wished each other good luck and away we went.

The short haired blonde jumped a bit as each microphone was shoved in her face apparently world records are still somewhat new lo her.

Ant' a world record at Santa Clara now wouldn help a swimmer who couldn't cut it at the Nationals in August So foreigners won five of the eight indmdual swimming events on Ihc first day of the three day meet at Jjiterna tional Swim Center. And they accounted for four of the seven meet records. Still, the near capacity crowd didn't complain The Santa Clara meet is the best one around; the first Sov.et swim earn ever to compete in the U.S. was there.
