Sports: Olympic Trials At Olympic team trials, records fall, as top track and field men battle for places on this year's Olympic team. Winners include Mal Whitfield, Harrison Dillard, and other amateur stars. Heartbreak for favored Craig Dixon in the hundred-ten meter hurdles. He stumbles, falls, at the next to the last hurdles. One of the strongest U.S. teams ever. Timing devices. 100 meter dash - Art Bragg of Morgan State is winner. High jump - Walter Davis of Texas A&M. Darryl Hooper (?) also of Texas A&M does shotput (shot put). 110 meter hurdles; winner Dillard smiling. 400 meter run - Whitfield wins.
