Race Marks
In Jeopardy

ners to threaten Oregon track rec
ords in many years is Jack Hut
chens, who represented Canada in
the Olympic games last summer,
and who has participated as a
member of the Webfoot frosli this
. season.
Hutchins, along with George
Rasmussen, Oregon’s triple cham
pion pole vaulter, will participate
in the Compton relays Friday, and
tentatively plans to run in the In
glewood relays the following day.
The two track aces will also
represent Oregon in the AAU meet,
slated for Portland,June 11.

WALT McCLURE, who a week
earlier had failed to finish “in the
money” in the ND championship
meet, ran a fine race, but was held
out of the points again. However,
McClure beat all the Northern Divi
sion entries except Washington
State’s Bill Parnell to prove he had
the stuff that could make him a
definite threat next year.
Although there were no world
records established, Otis Chandler
of Stanford cracked the PCC mark
with a put of 54 feet 9% inches to
top the record of 53 feet 8 7/8 inches
set by Bill Bayless last year.
