A total of seven existing world records were bettered and one tied in the three-day, 18-event progTam at the new Rehm Pool in suburban Oak Park.

They get the same Burton, 19, from Carmichael, won the free-style in 16:34.1 and broke the existing up, but In running an anchor relay leg in the 400-meters that was so fast the only thing the dockers are real sure of is that it was under nine seconds and possibly over eight. "He can run awful fast," a scout reported to the Cowboys. "But the only way you can get the ball to him is by mail." Trackmen aren't supposed to make good football players.

"They checked me out with New York," said Liston, whose career also includes. 19 arrests and a two-year-term at Jefferon City (Mo.) Penitentiary for armed robbery.

Through the sliding glass doors, aqua blue water in a 25-by 15-foot swimming pool shimmered in the dazzling desert sun. Beyond, the Stardust Golf Course was empty, baking in 103-degree heat. "That's where I do my road work," Sonny Liston said. "Every other morning. Early, before the sun gets up." DID HE PLAY golf there, too? "No, Louis lost too much." Joe Louis, another fomer heavyweight champion, is said to have lost thousands of dollars gambling on his golf.

But Liston, forgotten lately but not gone, appears to have been more careful with his money. His sumptuous home is evidence. So is his disregard for the gambling casinos on the strip.

"Get your thunbs out of the way or we'll have to cut them off," Red growled at him.

He cured Hayes of leaping for the ball. "You can't run on air, not even you," he reminded him. "Don't worry about the ball It'll come down. Gravity Is part of the game plan."
