PASADENA (CALIFORNIA), OCT. 6. Olympic gold medallist Mildred McDaniel Singleton, one of the world's top female athletes of the 1950s, has died of cancer. She was 70. She died on Thursday at a convalescent home, said Julius Henderson of the Woods-Valentine Mortuary in Pasadena. Singleton won a gold medal in the high jump at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. She ran track and played basketball at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Teammates called her ``Tex,'' because she dribbled like a Texan. — AP
