00:00:26.540 --> 00:00:29.980
main events of the 17th Olympiad track and field

2
00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:32.280
in the great stadium at Rome, Italy.

3
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:34.680
The United States away to a brilliant start.

4
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:37.140
A crowd of 60,000 sees Perry O'Brien,

5
00:00:37.580 --> 00:00:39.480
1956 Olympic shot put champion,

6
00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:41.920
break his own record with a toss of 62 feet,

7
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:43.360
8 inches and three quarters.

8
00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:49.620
Dallas Long, Southern California sophomore,

9
00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:53.040
close behind him with 62 feet, 4 inches and three quarters.

10
00:00:55.220 --> 00:00:57.460
Surpassing them all, Army Lieutenant Bill Nider

11
00:00:57.460 --> 00:00:59.380
hurls the shot to a new Olympic mark.

12
00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:01.720
64 feet, 6 and three quarters.

13
00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:04.060
The three American giants sweep the medals

14
00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:07.600
with their performances and the stars and stripes flies proudly.

15
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.020
Then a series of disappointments.

16
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.540
Valerie Brummel of Russia leaps 7 feet, 1 inch.

17
00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:18.140
But Americans are supremely confident their world

18
00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:20.760
record holder, John Thomas of Boston, will win.

19
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.240
Then as night falls, Thomas misses out

20
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:29.780
after 7 feet or quarter inch.

21
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.200
Robert Schiavola-Kantzi clears 7-1

22
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.220
and to the consternation of the Americans,

23
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.980
Thomas finishes third to two Soviet jumpers.

24
00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:44.440
The 100 meter final, an event the United States

25
00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:46.860
counts as its own, but a German speechster,

26
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:48.960
Armand Harry, nearest camera triumphs.

27
00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:50.680
Favorite Ray Norton finishes last.

28
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:55.600
Dave Sim, trying desperately for victory

29
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.840
and just missing, tumbles from the force of his efforts.

30
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:58.920
He isn't hurt.

31
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:10.340
American swimmers make up for those failures.

32
00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:12.440
Watching them, Princess Grace of Monaco

33
00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:13.920
and movie star Rock Hudson.

34
00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:19.040
Chris Fonsalsa, the blonde California mermaid,

35
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.880
leaves the rest of the field far behind

36
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.680
as she thrashes to victory in the 400 meter final.

37
00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:27.820
It's a new Olympic record of 4.50 and 6.10.

38
00:02:27.820 --> 00:02:29.760
A success, but under Chris' world mark.

39
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.140
An upset US victory in the 200 meter breaststroke.

40
00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:41.000
Bill Mullican of Illinois fights off

41
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.320
Yoshiko Asaki of Japan and Vigar Mensenites

42
00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:44.900
of Holland to win.

43
00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:48.260
American swimmers reap a harvest of 11 gold medals.

44
00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:57.800
Still, there are disappointments even in the pool.

45
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.500
Long accustomed to dominate women's diving,

46
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.560
the United States sustains another setback

47
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.120
in the high platform event.

48
00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:11.860
Ingrid Kramer of Germany takes her second diving victory

49
00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:14.100
aided by this beautiful inward 2.5.

50
00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:19.560
Here's an eye-filling reverse layout

51
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.860
by Berta Hansen of Sweden.

52
00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:26.140
Mrs. Paula Jean-Pope, America's hope,

53
00:03:26.140 --> 00:03:27.840
here matching Mrs. Kramer's dive,

54
00:03:28.220 --> 00:03:30.320
finishes a close second to the German school girl.

55
00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:38.920
40,000 in Baltimore Stadium, Yankees and Orioles

56
00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:41.100
fighting for first place in the American League.

57
00:03:43.100 --> 00:03:44.440
Jackie Brandt singles for Baltimore

58
00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:46.680
with one out on the fifth inning of a tense pitching duel

59
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.160
between Yankee ace Art Dittner

60
00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:50.960
and 21-year-old Jack Fisher of the Orioles.

61
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.620
Gene Woodling follows with a hot single to right,

62
00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:58.900
and Brandt dashes around to third base.

63
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.360
Brooks Robinson lines the third straight single

64
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.120
to score Brandt with the first run of the ballgame.

65
00:04:12.380 --> 00:04:14.500
Robinson, developing into one of the great third basemen

66
00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:17.240
of the game, drives out his 12th home run on the eighth

67
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.040
to make it 2-0 Baltimore.

68
00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:27.980
In a strange series of accidents,

69
00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:30.960
umpire Larry Knapp is hit repeatedly by foul balls

70
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:33.700
in the ninth inning until he is finally incapacitated

71
00:04:33.700 --> 00:04:35.220
and has to leave the game.

72
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:43.380
A final flare-up by the Yankees.

73
00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:45.400
Mickey Mantle wraps out his third hit of the game

74
00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:46.060
in the ninth.

75
00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:53.860
Bill Scowland slaps the safety over second base.

76
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.600
First time in the game, the Yankees have made two

77
00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:56.820
hits in one inning.

78
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.580
With men in scoring position, Fisher bears down.

79
00:05:05.820 --> 00:05:07.660
Elston Howard flies out to end the game.

80
00:05:07.940 --> 00:05:10.640
Baltimore beats the Yankees 2-0, hands them their third

81
00:05:10.640 --> 00:05:12.640
successive shutout and takes first place

82
00:05:12.640 --> 00:05:13.880
in the American League.

83
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.900
First international regatta for a new type

84
00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:25.600
small sailing craft, the GP14.

85
00:05:25.620 --> 00:05:27.720
And for general purpose, 14 footer.

86
00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:30.120
The Brockville, Ontario Yacht Club is host.

87
00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:32.540
And the Straddle Little Boat sail a series of tests

88
00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:35.720
over a course of four one-mile legs through the Thousand

89
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.280
Islands on the St. Lawrence Seaway.

90
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:40.620
For the final race, bright weather and a spanking wind.

91
00:05:55.700 --> 00:05:59.540
The captain of our camera boat watches the GP14s perform.

92
00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:02.940
This new design was drawn to meet a big set of demands.

93
00:06:03.460 --> 00:06:06.000
A boat that can be handled well by a crew of two

94
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.900
that can carry a family party.

95
00:06:08.260 --> 00:06:09.260
Stable and safe.

96
00:06:09.700 --> 00:06:11.420
Big enough for fishing or picnicking.

97
00:06:11.900 --> 00:06:12.960
Fast enough for fun.

98
00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:16.580
Simple rigging and suitable for rowing or an outboard motor.

99
00:06:17.020 --> 00:06:19.560
All this and you can build it yourself too.

100
00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:33.020
Crews from Canada and the United States testing their

101
00:06:33.020 --> 00:06:34.520
seamanship as well as the new craft.

102
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:37.740
Some junior crews only 13 to 16 years old.

103
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.460
The GP14 has a weight of only about 220 pounds.

104
00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:45.040
Its mainsail is 72 square feet, the jib 30.

105
00:06:52.200 --> 00:06:55.240
The winning boat, number 2056, with a crew from the

106
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:55.600
Deep River Yellow, is the GP14.

107
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.880
The best-selling yacht club in Ontario runs the best three

108
00:06:57.880 --> 00:07:00.540
of the four races and gets the first North American

109
00:07:00.540 --> 00:07:01.880
branch championship trophy.

110
00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:05.040
The crew also gets a ducky.

111
00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:15.040
20,000 Japanese fight fans in the Karakuen Baseball

112
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.040
Stadium in Tokyo for Japan's first world featherweight

113
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:18.900
championship bout.

114
00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:21.200
Davey Moore of the United States, the champion,

115
00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:23.860
and Kizuo Takayama, the Japanese challenger.

116
00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:32.360
Early in the fight, underdog Takayama lands a solid right.

117
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.680
Moore staggers and falls part way out of the ring.

118
00:07:40.700 --> 00:07:43.760
After a few rounds, Moore takes over and punishes the

119
00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:45.900
Japanese boxer with a two-fisted attack.

120
00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:49.000
The American hopes for a knockout and tries hard to land it.

121
00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:52.520
But although Takayama appears groggy at times, Moore is

122
00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:53.720
unable to put him on the floor.

123
00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:14.640
A controversial incident in the 13th round.

124
00:08:14.840 --> 00:08:17.600
Referee Jimmy Wilson of Los Angeles steps in between them

125
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.180
and seems to stop the fight.

126
00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:22.380
But Wilson says he's only signalling the end of the round

127
00:08:22.380 --> 00:08:24.400
as he heard the bell before the fight.

128
00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:27.080
Moore claims he should have been awarded a knockout.

129
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.600
The fight continues to the end of the scheduled 15 rounds.

130
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.720
Moore continues to batter away at Takayama, but the Japanese

131
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:34.940
stands up under the hammer.

132
00:08:40.020 --> 00:08:41.940
The bout ends with both men on their feet.

133
00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:45.040
A unanimous decision for Moore, who retains his title

134
00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:47.740
with something to spare and gets a guaranteed purse of

135
00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:49.680
$50,000 for his efforts.
