Olympic medal blitz as U S lakes lead in events
Kathy Eltis, an Indianapolis schoolgirl, helped the United States win five medals, doubling the output and widening their margin over Russia to 10-4. The eight oared crew from Philadelphia’s Vesper Boat Club and a coxless four led by talent won second-chance heats. Tony Gibson and Charles Brown secured boxing wins, while a 238.8 second 400 meter freestyle set an Olympic record in a qualifying heat.
