Oregon's Roscoe Cook Equals WmSM World SOUNDLY THUMPS NATION'S FINEST MODESTO, Calif (UPI) It's onward and upward for Ut ile Roscoe Cook, the latest "world's fastest human." Cook, who equalled the world mark for the 100-yard dash at 9.3 Saturdaly night in the California Relays, while beat ing some of the nations finest dash men, has a heavy cam paign mapped out for the summer. lie ha3 the NCAA meet; the national AAU competition and then the I'an Atnericun Games if ho can qualify. There also i.s , the possibility of making the team llor the meet aguinst Russia. Off the basis of what he did here Saturday, the 20-year-old Uni versity of Oregon sophomore from Kafl Diego, should have no trou ble. All he did was beat back a chal lenge by the great Kay Norton of San Jose State; whip the fine young Syd Garten of East Texas 'State, and soundly thump the one and only Bobby Morrow, ex-Ahil- ene Christian. Fast and Close This he did in one race. A race so fast that the three men finish ing second, third and fourth were clocked in 9.4; and Morrow, a badly beaten fifth, in 9.5. "We got off to on even start but I pulled ahead at the halfway mark, said Cook later. 'Then I felt Norton breathing down my neck. But J did like my coach told me I just kept running." The 100-yard dash was a thrill er, but only one of many packed into a night of fine performances. These included: 1 The University of Texas sprint relay team set a new world mark in the 440-yard relay at 39.6. Running on the team were Wully Wilson, Eddie Southern.
