Heiden swooped to his second gold medal by winning the 5000 meter speed skating event in a record time of 7.0328 minutes.

(AP Laserphoto) LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) Heiden flashed to his second gold medal of the Winter Games Saturday in the 1,500 meters race and U.S. team hopes grew that he could pull off the first men's speed skating sweep in the history of the Olympics. The U.S. hockey team swept to a 5-1 victory over Norway for its second straight "victory' "the Olympic hockey tournament and increased its hope for a medal.

Marring the American record is a 2-2 tie with Sweden, but a silver medal was certainly possible after Thursday's victory over highly-regarded Czechoslovakia. The 21-year-old Heiden, of Madison, beat Norwegian Kai Arne Stensh- jemmel by nine-tenths of a second and the Norwegian coach immediately said the Agg ie thins take Indoor Texas' Walls upsets Dickey in 60 FORT WORTH (AP) The Texas Aggies and the Arkansas Razorbacks, who have been in some pulsating finishes lately on the basketball court, carried their rivaly over into the seventh annual Southwest Conference track and field indoor championships Friday night. The Aggies earned their first team title with a second place finish in the mile relay, the final running event on the program, and then watched Randy Hall clinch matters with a winning pole vault of 16-feet, 6-inches. Arkansas was the defending champion and heavily favored because of returning strength in the middle distance events. However, Baylor blunted some of Arkansas' point- making ability by winning the distance medley relay, the two mile relay and the mile relay.

Baylor's Todd Harbour was particularly troublesome to the Razorbacks as he anchored two relay victories and won the milerun. The Aggies compiled 103 points to Arkansas' 95. Houston was third with 82 12, Baylor scored 78, SMU had 47, Texas 44 12, Rice 20, TCU 15, and Texas Tech 10. Texas freshman Herkie Walls pulled off the big individual stunner of the night, upsetting Curtis Dickey in the 60-yard dash. Walls recorded a 6.09 which was just an eyelash off the world record of 6.05 by Houston McTear.

SMU's freshman footballer Mike Carter uncorked a 67-14 inch shot throw, the best indoor effort indoors this year. The Walls-Dickey duel should be one of the highlights of the SWC track season. Walls, who has an explosive start, said "I knew if I got a good start, I could win it. I knew if Curtis got a good start, he would win it." Dickey said "Herkie had a fantastic start and ran a great race. He kind of snuck up on me.

I'm sure I'll see him again. He's good but it won't happen again." must first get permission from Texas football Coach Fred Akers to miss spring practice before he can give all of his energy to track. "If Coach Akers asks me to come out I will," said Walls. "But I would like to concentrate on running." Dickey has no spring training worries. All he has to do is wait around for the May college draft by the National Football League to see who gets his considerable talents.

Nicklaus told a news conference Thursday his new course, 25 miles from here, would include "one of the most photographed holed in America." The seventh hole is the showpiece, Nicklaus said, describing a par 3, 150-yard hole that plays over a 15-foot waterfall to an elevated green ith water behind it.

Nicklaus said the $3 million Hills of Lakeway course also will have a three- hole course which Nicklaus claims is the first facility every constructed specifically for teaching golf. The ISO-acre Lakeway course par 72 and 6,900 yards should be completed by the spring of 1981, he Nicklaus said he would buiid a house hear the course. Nicklaus said Hills of Lakeway would not be suitable for PGA tournament golf, which must accommodate large crowds, but could be used for events such as the NCAA cam- pionships or television specials. He said the course will have Bermuda grass fairways and bentgrass, medium-sized greens. The 18th hole, he said, is similar to the final home at Pebble Beach, "with a smaller a creek.

Asked how difficult the course would be, Nicklaus said, "It would be difficult for a 120 shooter to play. But it's almost impossible if you want to retain the beautiful terrain to design a golf course for a 120 shooter. 1 He said it was designed for the golfer who shoots 85-90. The course is on an old cattle ranch in the valley of limestone-bottom creek, and Nicklaus described the area as "the most exciting piece of natural land upon which to build a golf course that I have ever seen." Nicklaus, winner of 17 major golf tournaments, head the Golden Bear Co. of Plam Beach, which designs, constructs and maintains golf courses around the world.

"We tried today and we didn't succeed and we'll try again but I think he's got a good chance to win five," said Arne Leir. But Heiden's flashing skates didn't erase one of the greatest American disappointments of these Games.

Tai" Gardner, the figure skating pair who have worked for eight years to get ready to challenge for a gold medal, had to drop out of their event Friday night after Gardner fell three times in practice and aggravated a groin muscle pull he suffered two weeks ago. The couple left the rink in tears and a controversy developed over a pain-killing shot Gardner took a few hours before the competition. The American figure skating team was crushed, and Norma Sahlin, a coach for the American team, questioned the wisdom of Gardner's having taken the shot of xylocaine a few hours before the competition. "He should have gone on without medication, you're better off," she said. Gardner's mother agreed.

"I wish now he had not had any medication. It would have been extremely painful, but he could have done it," she said. The widely-used pain killer is not against Olympic rules and Dr. Anthony Dale, chief physician for the U.S. team, said it was administered "more for psychological purposes than anything else." "Ifthe-shotwas'mainry'for psychological reasons, why give it at all?" asked Sahlin.

She added that in his warm- ups, Gardner looked on his spin jumps as if he had never tried them before. All three U.S. medals through Saturday have come in speed skating the two by Heiden and one in the women's 500-meter race by Leah Mueller. It is on the speed skating oval on Main Street in this Adirondack Mountain village that the American team is expected to win most of its medals. No skater has ever swept the men's events.

Ard Schenk of the Netherlands won three gold medals in 1972 in Sapporo when the Games included only four events. The race was added in 1976. A reporter asked Heiden if he thought much about all the talk about the sweep. wlnt to skate well. If I give 100 percent and someone beats me, I'm still happy.

I know I've done as well as I can." But Heiden said his chances are good in the 1,000 and the races next week but the meters "is pretty much up in the air because there's not been a lot of competition." Heiden won the 1,500 in 7 minutes, 2:29 seconds to Stenshjemmet's 7:03.28. The bronze went to another Norwegian, Tom Erik Oxholm.
