Jl'ST MISSES — Duck high jumper Paul Stuber just misses on his first jump at 6-11. Stuber won the event with a leap of 6-10. —Emerald photo by Karl Broom Steen, Blunt Win Two Events Ducks Trim Huskies; 6 Marks Fall By ROX BADERMAN Emerald Sports Writer Against the background of a typical fine Oregon spring day. the Oregon Duck track ensemble crushed the University of Wash ing.on Huskies, 103-42. It was the weather conditions that probably prevented a sub-four minute mile by Keith Forman and a 16 foot pole vault by Brian Sternberg. Forman took oif like a rifle shot and kept up his torrid pace fo>- three laps. He ran laps of 58 secconds, 60 seconds. 60 seconds, and finished the final kickless lap in 62 3 second. Forman ran un paced after he immediately drew half a lap ahead of the field. His attempt at lowering his mile mark of 4:00.1 this year provided real excitement, and makes one won der just what the time would have been had the track been fast. He was timed in 4:00.3 with Barry Adams and Dan Tonn tak ing second and third respectively in 4:15.1 and 4:15.9. Sternberg clears In the pole vault, as expected, Brian Sternberg provided the thrills when he found himself the only competitor clearing 15 feet. Sternberg, who has vaulted ICS", hit the bar on his initial vault, but cleared it easily on his Half Mast J Bv RAY >1A By RAY MAST Emerald Sports Editor Track and field fans attending the Oregon-Washington meet last Saturday may have noted a few oddities and surprising perform-! ances. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Mel Renfro scratch on four broad jump attempts—much less four consecutive attempts. His first two jumps looked to be well over 25 feet, too. In 1959 Otis Davis set the Hay ward Field record of 46.3 in the special 440. Saturday, almost 4 years later, Davis ran a 47.2. He’s lost only .9 of a second in that period of time. Take into con sideration that Davis was run ning on a rain-soaked track, and his time is even more fastastic. Jim Meinert, who won the sched uled 440, ran a 43.9. Six meet records fall Did anyone notice that six of the seven records the Emerald predicted to fall, did? Of course, Mel Renfro didn’t set the broad jump record, but Washington’s Phil Shinnick obliged with a leap of 25-2. Renfro also failed to bet ter the high hurdle standard, but was hampered, like all the sprint- j ers. by the slow track. Two men who have been out of action for the biggest part of the year turned in strong performan ces. Ted Abram, competing in only his second meet of the sea son, finished second in the 830 with a 1:55.2. Mike Lehner, who has been out the entire season re covering from mononucleosis, ran a 9:13.5 in the two-mile and looked exceptionally strong at the finish. 1 Steen’s put beyond 60 Dave Steen is certainly proving himself to be one of the nation’s greatest in the shot put. Each of Steen’s puts was over 60 feet. His first put of 60-4l4 broke the meet record. Add another high jumper to the fold. John Jost cleared his all-time high of 6-4. I wonder how long it’s been since the Ducks have had three jumpers over 6-4. Not too long ago, Ore gon was lucky to have one over 6-4. Also in the high jump, Paul Stuber and Terry Llewellyn con tinued to trade first place hon ors. Stuber won at 6-10 on the j basis of fewer misses. Against OSU, Llewellyn won. Tonn vs. hurdles The Ducks may have come up with a new intermediate hurdle sensation against Washington. Dan Tonn, usually a distance man, looked very smooth as he took fourth place in this event. Tonn was barely nosed out for third place by Jim Peterson, who looked like he, too, was a novice. When Brian Sternberg missed his first attempt at 15 feet, after more than an hour of waiting for the rain to stop, one spectator near me burst out laughing. Needless to say he didn’t laugh on Sternberg’s next jump when Sternberg cleared 15 feet by about a foot and a half. It looked like Sternberg had 16 feet on his third attempt at the height but knicked the bar on his way down. It was easy to see why he -was world record holder for awhile. second try. After the other vault ers dropped out at the 15 foot level, the bar was raised a half foot and Sternberg cleared that height. Although the other lo | events had been completed few fans left as he began his assault on 16 feet. He failed to over on his first two tries and on his third and final attempt, only his jersey prevented him from assaulting the world record he held two j weeks ago. Steen, Blunt win two The Ducks provided two double i winners, the two Daves. Steen and Blunt. Steen put all of his puts over the 60 foot mark and settled for 60’4L4” as his winning; put The Ducks swept the event as Dick Brown and Jerry Larsen finished behind Steen. In the dis cus, Steen decided he could again use the correct form and threw 166’7” to win the event. This marks the first meet since the season’s opener that Steen has been unhampered by his elbow. Brown took a third in the event. Dave Blunt looked strong, steady, and consistent while win ning the 100 yard dash in 98 seconds and the 220 yard dash in | 21.9 seconds. He also anchored i the winning 440 yard relay team Stuber wins high jump The Ducks double soaring scor ing entente, Terry Llewellyn and Paul Stuber, resumed their rival ries, and outclassed their com petitors. Both cleared 6T0”. This time Stuber was the victor as he missed fewer times than Llewel lyn. Football and track star Mel Renfro, after jumping 25’6” at Corvallis last weekend, failed to qualify in the broad jump as he scratched on four successive jumps. Later he came on to win with little difficulty, the high hur dles in 14.5 seconds. Stan Shep ardson took a third place. Jim Meinert took first place in the 440 yard dash and second in the 330 yard intermediate hur-1 dies. In the latter event. Dan Tonn provider! the crowd with considerable entertainment as he found himself deliberating be fore each hurdle as to whether or not he should jump over it It was all in good fun with Tonn having as good a time as the crowd. Looking stronger each week, Meinert came back to run the opening leg of the Ducks' mile relay effort and provided a 20 yard lead for Ray Van Asten Ducks take mile relay In the mile relay, the Duck team of Meinert, Van Asten. Ar chie San Romani, and Lew Pow ell led all the way, winning in 3:18 Powell outran Ted Abram and Adams in the 880 yard run and won in 1:54.3. The Ducks swept this event, along with the mile run, the shot put, and the two mile. In the two-mile, Clayton Stein ke, Mike Lehner, and Vic Reeve ran bunched together for the first mile with Reeve putting consid erable distance between himself and the pack after the fourth lap He finished in 8:59.2, a new meet record. Sic records set In the triple jump, Wariboko West set meet record with a jump of 46’2”. Vern Fox picked up second place jumping 44'V. ! Meet records were also set in the broad jump by Shinnick at 25’2”, the pole vault by Sternberg at: 15’6”, the shot put by Steen at 6C’4V4”, Forman in the mile in 4:00.3 minutes and Reeve in the two-mile.
