Ducks Trim Huskies; 6 Marks Fall

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

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

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
