Swedish sports writers generally estimated their financial rewards “at more than 75,- 000 crowns” ($18,500). A +Haegg holds seven of the most prized records including a 4:01.4 for the mile.

Bartlesville’s Phillips 66 Oilers, looking as magnificent as ever in a 96-19 rout of Torrington, Wyo., still loomed large as the team to beat and the conservative betting men still figured the Oklahoman's most ~erious challenges would come from the ranks of the cld reliables who have dominated this nationwide cage classic for a decade.
