Mile Record Set
By Don Gehrmann
The inexhaustible Don Gehr
mann approached the greath
sought four-minute mile, when h<
clocked off one of the fastest mil<
runs in American track history—
4 minutes 5.3 seconds. On th<
famed mile long Boardwalk in At
lantic City, N.J., Gehrmann cami
from behind in the last 30 yards t<
beat FBI Agent Horace Ashen
felter with 5 feet to spare. Thirt
in the race was Bill Ashenfelter
brother of the man who took sec
ond place.
This time breaks the record se
by Fred Wilt two years ago, whicl
was 4:05.5. Gehrmann had an I
mph tail wind to boost him on hr
way, but so did the former recor<
holder.
whi'n the Betas tallied an addi
! tlonal two runs to make the score
; five to one in their favor.
Sloppy fielding proved Minium’s
doom in the fourth Inning when
| Betas, Al Mann and Ken Ball both
: reached base on errors. Mann later
i scored on McMath’s grounder to
second and Itod Iloekstader sent
Ball raeing aeross the plate ahead
of him with a towering homer to
i left field.
Santos struck out and Latham
I grounded to third to open the hot
; tom of the fourth inning. Minturn
outfielder Bob Fase then stepped
! up to the plate and hammered a
1 long homer to deep left field. Pinch
: hitter John Kahananui took first
on the only walk given up by Beta
I chucker Al Mann but failed to
score as O’Brien fanned for the
third out of the inning.
Adams Triples
Adams opened the top half of
the fifth inning for the Betas with
a resounding triple to left field.
Deane Smith grounded out and
Pitcher Al Mann .scored Adams
with a long triple off the wall of
the Hayward field stands. South
worth was safe on an error by the
first baseman and McMath *
grounded out third to first for the
final out.
Clarence Ikeda fanned for the
first out in the Minturn half of
: the fifth and Pitcher tlilflker fol
lowed with a solid single. Ililfik
er’s single was to no avail how- ,
ever, as the next two batters troth
filed out to end the Inning.
Beta Theta Pi had another big
inning in the top of the sixth when
Mickey singled, advanced on an ,
1 error, and scored on Adams' single.
Smith followed Adarmj to the plate
and banged out a triple scoring
Adams and proceeded on to score _
himself when the outfielder over
threw third base. Mann flied out
to third for the last out but the
| damage had already been done,
' and the score stood 8-1 in favor of
Beta Theta Pi.
Minturn Rallies
In the bottom of the sixth, Min
turn Catcher Louis Santos popped
out to second, Latham struck out,
Fase singled for his second hit of
the day and Kahananui was re
tired via the strikeout route to end
the inning. Beta hitters were re
l tired equally as fast in their half
of the seventh inning with Ball
grounding to first, Southworth
popping out to center field and
McMath whiffing.
Minturn staged a rally in their
half of the last inning when they ^
scored two runs on three extra
base blows. Clarence Ikeda opened
the inning with a tremendous trip
le to deep center. Orlando Mathi
as struck out and Hilfiker fouled
out to the third baseman, but
Ikeda scored from third on an
overthrow in the infield. Milton
Kotoshirodo followed with a solid
double and scored on another
double by Henry Fong. However
Fong was marooned -left on sec
^ ond as Louis Santos popped out to
the third baseman to end the
’ game.
Mann Sparkles
Pitcher A1 Mann gave up only
■ seven hits in going the distance
