Far West Champs
13:3! Tarr Sets High Hurdle Record;
Webfoots Win Ninth Year in Row
By DAVE STOREY
Assistant Sports Editor
Jerry Tarr set a new American
soil record in the high hurdles of
12.3 as Oregon easily won the
Far West Championships at Hay
ward Field Saturday. It was the
ninth straight win for the UO in
the meet.
Tarr was only one tenth of a
second off the world mark of 13.2
held by Martin Lauer of Ger
many' in Switzerland in 1959 and
Lee Calhoun of the United States
also in Switzerland in 1960. He
was given a standing ovation by
the crowd of 6.000 when the time
was announced.
The fine effort turned in by
Tarr and the Ducks climaxed a
great weekend of track. Friday
night Dyrol Burleson ran the
mile in 3:51.9 only to lose out
to New Zealand’s Peter Snell
who finished in 3:56.1. The
“Miracle .Mile" was staged in
conjunction with the Coliseum
Relays which produced two !
world marks. Dallas Long set
a new world standard in the
shot put with a put of 65-10'2
and A1 Oerter became the first
man to throw the discus over ,
200 feet with a heave of 200
The big senior said that he was
surprised at the record time but
credited it to a fine start, and
said that the special shoes made
by Coach Bill Bowerman worked
“pretty well."
NEXT W EEKEND could be the
big test for Tarr at Modesto if
Hayes Jones enters. Jones has
beaten him every time the two
have met and Jerry is anxious to
race him again.
Concerning his plans for the
summer Tarr said, "I hope to
make the United States team that
will face Russia at Stanford in
July."
What about football next fall?
He said. ‘:I’m undecided now'; it
all depends on the offers; if they
aren't desirable enough I will
aim at the ’64 Olympics.”
THE “TIGER” also ran the 440
intermediate hurdles for the first
time and won easily in 52.0, in
addition to running a blazing
third leg of the 440 relay’ which
the Ducks won in 40.7.
Coach Bill Bowerman’s -Web
foots won 13 of the 18 events am
amassed 981 - points, followed by
Oregon with 65' *>, Washington
State 39'-. Idaho 33 >•.. and Wash
ington 32. The poor opposition
put forth by the Big Five Huskies
shoidd be reason enough in itself
why six of the Duck’s top stars
skipped the dual meet in Seattle
last weekend to go after world
records in Fresno.
HARRY JEROME also won
two events as he won the 100 in
9.5 bucking a 5 mile headwind
and the 200 in 18.5. The 200 was
supposed to a 220 and was an
nounced as such. At the end of
the race the new scoreboard
flashed 18.5 which would have
been a new world mark in 220
easily. The crowd stared in
amazement then laughter, think
ing the new clock to be way off.
It was later learned that there
had been a mixup and that the
course had been shortened 20
yards by mistake, hence the new
timer was only two-tenths of a
second wrong.
Another fine performance was
turned in by Mel Renfro in the
broad jump as he beat Jerry
Close for the first time this year
with an impressive leap of 24-3'L.
which qualified him for the
NCAA meet June 15 and 16 here
at Hayward Field.
LITTLE MIKE Lehner also met
the NCAA standard in the stee
ple chase with a time of 9:15.7,
which is a new meet and field
record.
Terry Llewellyn, the 5-7 sopho
more, won the high jump with
his best effort ever, 6-9, which isj
a meet record breaking the old
one set by Les Steers of the UO
in 1941. Llewellyn, in winning,
avenged an earlier defeat by,
Hank Wybomey in the Duck-!
Cougar dual meet earlier this J
season. Big Hank went out at 6-9.
KEITH FORMAN was another
record breaker, winning the three
mile in 13:58.5 which is well un
der the NCAA requirement. Sig
Ohlemann won the half mile as
usual but was pressed hard for
the lead by Ted Abram until a
mishap coming off the final turn.
Don Bertoia of WSU was battling
Abram for second when he acci
dentally spiked the UO sopho
more causing him to fall hard on
the track and lose his second
place. Bertoia finished amid a
chorus of boos, but officials ruled
there was no infraction.

Still another meet record was
set by Dave Steen in the shot put,
as he threw the 16 pounder 57-10.
Other Webfoot winners were Ar
chie San Romani in the mile and
Jerry Stubblefield in the discus
The only bright spot for the
otherwise dismal Huskies was the
performance of John Cramer in
the pole vault. He vaulted 15-3%
with a steel pole after a heavy
downpour which left only a few
shivering spectators looking on.
