Ryun Spotlight at Olympics Glamour Event in Mexico City
In Mexico City the focus falls on Jim Ryun the 21 year old Kansas standout as the glamor figure in the 1968 Olympics metric mile. Analysts question whether his comeback from mononucleosis leaves him fully recovered while the U S basks in hopes of multiple golds across track diving and swimming. The day features strong U S performances led by Barbara Ferrell Ralph Boston Lee Evans Micki King and relay teams with world record attempts in the 400 meter relays and the 110 meter hurdles.

Bargain Basement Pacer With $23,801 Bankbook
Dr. Arthur Brelia of Gloversville bought Go Yates, a five year old pacer, for $550 after seeing him race in Saratoga. Go Yates has earned $28,301 in 43 races, with a lifetime mark of 2 02 4 at a half mile. The doctor turned down a $12,500 offer and plans to race the horse only when he feels it fit, putting $8,000 prize money toward the horse’s “social security” and retirement. He now values racing Go Yates for life and keeps two other horses, including Armbro Dolly, in his stable.
