(AP Wirephoto) SYLVIA RUUSKA GETS SECOND Records Still Tumbling In AAU Swim at Houston xvVl firm I Ujfak Jordan ijgw 4 States To Send Entrants By BOB DURAND Times Sports Writer The local sports spotlight falls on Municipal Pool tonight at 7:30 when many of the mid-South's top swimmers and divers begin competition in the Shreveport Invitational Open Championships. Sponsored by the Shreveport Swim Club Inc. and the Shreveport Beereation Department, the meet will feature competition from Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Admission to the annual classic is free with concrete and wooden bleachers providing plenty of spectator room and parking space available behind the Pool and on the streets. Announcing the meet will be Irv Zeidman, former Shreveport Sports radio broadcaster, over a public address system donated by Frank Zuzak.

Highlighting the two-day affair will be an assault on the Meet and Pool records by the talented swimmers who will be coming in from Tyler, Marshall, Dallas, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Minden and other towns throughout the four states. Known marks by already-entered contestants put 11 records in jeopardy. Tyler's Jeff Heller, Min-den's Jeanne Van Peene, and Shreveport's Frank Pernique and Judy Smith are regarded good bets to possibly crack two marks apiece. Others who should rewrite the record books are Minden's Camille Ivy and Marsha Hoefeld, and Shreveport's Ray Timm, Dean Clark, and Claire DeLee. The race for the men's crown should be the most exciting in the four-year history of the meet.

Defending champion Shreveport, powerful Tyler, and 1955 titlist Little Rock. In the women's division, Minden ill be setting sights on their fourth straight championship, but the Shreveport squad has served notice that a possible upset is in the notice. Other teams who may figure in the winner's trophy are Tyler and Baton Rouge. The preliminaries in all events will be run tonight, while the finals in both swimming and diving will start at 6 p.m. tomorrow.

Hebert, whose younger brother Lionel zoomed from relative obscurity to win the PGA title, knocked seven strokes off Keller Course's par-72 with birdie putts ranging from 2'2 to 25 feet.

Welded to his seven birdie putts were four other single putts he needed to get pars on holes where his fairway shots strayed.

Venturi linked a 67 to his first round 66 and might have caught Hebert save for a couple of wayward approach shots late in the round. Rosburg, the man with the "no overlap grip" who shot a 64 the first day, slumped to 70, while Furgol duplicated his first round 67. Bayer added a 68 to his opening 66.
