But Cana- dian and Latin-American com- petitors made definite inroads on the U.S. monopoly. The U.S. won 108 gold medals but this was 13 fewer than in the 1959 games in Chicago and a@mong the missing were those for the men's sprints and the 800 metres which the U.S. has dom- inated for years. The sprints were taken by a Cuban and a Venezuelan--an in- dieation of the improving cali- bre of competition--and the 800 metres by Canadians, who fin- one-two in the final to help boost Canada's medal totals to Pan-American-record highs. Canada got 10 gold medals, including its first five Pan- American track and field cham- pionships, and added 26 second- place silvers and 27 third-place bronzes--a creditable showing for the 134-member team that did not include such outstand- ing runners as Bruce Kidd and Bill Crothers foToronto and Harry Jerome of Vancouver: Canada's previous best came 1959 when a 175-member team won seven golds, 21 silv- ers and. 29 bronzes--many of them in shooting and gymnas- ies, In the last major international meet--the tougher British Em- pire Gamés at Perth, Australia, last year -- Canada won four golds, 12 silvers and 15 bronzes. Included in the Canadian to tals here were a silver.and a bronze won Saturday by Jenni- fer Wingerson, 20, of Toronto and Don Bertoia, 23, of Ross- land, B.C., respectively. MISSED BY INCHES Miss Wingerson missed by inches giving Canada its sixth gold medal in track when she fnished second to Jo Ann Terry of the U.S. in the 80-metre hur- dles. Miss Terry was timed in 11.3 seconds, Miss Wingerson in 11.4. 10-PIN ACTION Colts Win '63 Playoffs der-Stark Classic 'Congratulations to the Colts who came through with fly- fgg colors" to win the Lander- Stark Classic Ten Pin League Championship and beautiful Congress Trophy. ~ +The Eagles, Jets and Royals ali gave their best in the six- game playoff but were unable b Megs up with the champions, 0 led from the opening game. *Bob Richardson was the "big gun" as he paced the Colts to victory, averaging a very neat 197 over the six games.

Their medals boosted Can- ada's track and field totals to five golds, five silvers and two bronze--the best Canada has done in track and field in inter- national games since it won eight golds in the Britsh Em- pre Games of 1938.

SOLDIER, WAS BIG WINNER Biggest winner of all the Ca- nadians, however, was Wilhelm (Willie) Weiler, a German-born Canadian soldier from the army's Camp Borden in Onta- rio, who won three golds in men's gymnastics--the first in this sport for Canada. In addi- tion, he won three silvers and a bronze. Tom Dinsley of Vancouver the thtee - metre springboard champion, and the University of .BC. crew from Vancouver which won the premier eight- oared rowing event, were the other Canadian gold medallists. Canadians won 15 medals in swimming, two in diving and two in synchronized swimmng in the chilly Pan - American Games pool; took 14 in gymnas- tics; 12 in track and field; eight in shooting; four in wrestling; three in weightlifting; two in yachting and one in rowing for the total of 63.

In the 1,500 metres, premier event of Saturday's track wind- up, Grelle was clocked in three minutes, 43.5 seconds, well un- der the games mark of 3:49.1, but slower than Beatty's U.S. record of 3:39.4. Beatty, forced' by the 14-man field to jump in front at the start to avoid the possibility of being boxed in, fin- ished in 3:43.6. Bertoia was a rdistant third in 3:55.0. The U:S. also won the men's 400-metre and 1,600-metre re- lays, javelin and hop, step and jump and took the women's 400- metre relay in which Canada's team finished third only to be disqualified for passing the ba- ton out of its. lane, The disqualification was a heart-breaker for the Canadian quartet of Maureen Bardoe of Hamilton, Yvonne Breeden and Heather Campbell of Vancouver and Jo-Anne Rootsaert of Win- nipeg who were shut out of med- als in earlier individual compe- tition.

Jack Nicklaus Wins Champs' Tournament LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Jack Nicklaus, who owns virtually all the prized possessions of the golfing game as well as the most dollars for the year has unpleasant news for his fellow players: He isn't even at his peak yet. Nicklaus, richer by $13,000 after his almost casual victory in the Tournament of Champi- ons § ,» was asked if he thinks he is at the top of his game. Eyebrows raised in surprise, he exclaimed: "I certainly hope not. I feel and hope I can improve. "A man wants to improve at anything he does. That's how I feel about my future in golf." Nicklaus capped his brilliant rounds of 64-68--72 with a three- under par 69 Sunday and won by five strokes with a 72-hole score of 273. Bill Casper Jr. was forced to withdraw because of a swollen, aching left hand after eight holes on the last round.
