Schul Wins 5000 In Tokyo Games

Bob Schul and Hayes Jones won Olympic gold medals for the United States in track and field, and the U.S. fished four final first places out of the swimming pool in Tokyo yesterday.

Schul became the first American to win the 5000 meters, coming home just in front of Germany's Harold Norpoth, Bill Dellinger of the U.S. was just one second back of Schul to take the bronze medal in 13:49.8.

Jones, who had lost out in two previous bids for an Olympic gold medal, just beat Blaine Lindgren at the tape in 13.6 seconds with Antonin Mikhailov of the USSR third. Aggrey Awori '65, competing for Uganda, was beaten in the quarter finals Saturday.

There were two major disappointments on the track yesterday. Ralph Boston jumped only 26 ft., 4 1/2 in., good enough for a silver medal behind Britain's Lynn Davies, who jumped 26 ft., 5 3/4 in.

Harold Connoly, world record holder in the hammer throw, finished sixth at 218 ft., 8 in. behind the USSR's Rowald Klim, who won with a throw of 228 ft., 9 1/2 in.

In swimming, Ginny Duenkel led a 1-2-3 U.S. sweep of the women's 400-meter freestyle; beating Marilyn Ramenofsky and Terri Stickles in 4:43.3.

In men's platform diving, Bob Webster of the United States moved up from sixth place in the last three dives to overtake Italy's Klaus Dibasi and win his second gold medal. Tom Gompf of the U.S. was third.

The U.S. women's 400-meter medley relay team set a world record of 4:33.9, and Yalies Don Schollander and Steve Clark helped the U.S. men's 300-meter freestyle relay squad to a gold medal and a record 7:52.1 clocking. It was the fourth gold medal of the games for Schollander, the third for Clark.

Australia's Kevin Berry snapped a world record with a 2:06.9 in the 200-meter butterfly, as Carl Robie and Fred Schmidt of the U.S. finished second and third.
