Both teams swept three events each. Albany took all three places in the shot discuss and mile. North Salem duplicated the feat in the 100, 220 and pole vault. High point man for the Vikings was sprinter Jim Norval with 11 points. Norval took first in the 100 and 220 and third in the broad jump. His time of 10.3 in the cen tury was just short of sensational for the wet track and cold weather and his 220 broke the school record. Bob Amble, defending state champ in the discus, won that event with a toss of 1462" plus the javelin for Albany. Norval's time in the record shattering 220 was 22.4, knocking five tenths of a second off the old record. The former mark was 22.9, held by Jim Jensen. H.

Firestone Reveals New Racing Tire INDIANAPOLIS (A The Fire stone Tire k Rubber Co., Mon day night announced a new racing tire that may make non-stop competition possible in the In dinapolis 500-mile race May 30 for the - first time under modern speeds. The company disclosed that Sam Hanks of Burbank, Calif., 1953 na tional AAA racing champion, had tested the tire at 144.12 miles an hour at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the track record is 141.033, set in time trials last year by Jack McGrath of South Pasadena, Calif. Hanks drove a Kurtis-Kraft with a much larger and heavier engine than those permitted in the race. Firestone said the new rubber compound and design made pos sible a thicker tread for increased wear and a slightly narrower tread for better handling. The -new tire, in sports car de Sign, was used on the winning car driven by Phil Walters and Mike Hawthorne in the Sebnng 12-hour endurance race March 13.

S. Record ! By BOB HOOBING BOSTON (-Powerful little Hid eo Hamamura of Japan conquered the hills in a stirring late rush Tuesday to establish a new record of 2:18:22 in the 59th and perhaps greatest Boston AA marathon. Hamamura. employed in the dis trict government office of Yama- gucbi, churned over, the finish line 29 seconds under the previous mark established by countryman Keizo Yamada in 1953. Trailing by 300 yards going into the series of three hills which start 10 miles from the end of the 28 mile, 385 yard classic course, Hamamura roared up the grades, gaming ground steadily. American Pasted The 128-pound speedster then hit the steady downgrade which cov ers most of the final six miles and never let up passing Nick Costes of Natlck, Mass., who had led most of the way, slightly ; over three miles from the finish. He won by 250 yards over 'Finland's Eino Pulkkinen who also passed the great hearted but tiring American. A chill, overcast day for the race which started in misty rain at suburban Hopkinton and ended on water - soaked Exeter Street in Boston's Back Bay, proved per fect for the record - smashing per formance with amazing times for all the leaders. Pulkkinnen was .clocked In 2:19:23 fast enough to win any of the previous races except the one i which Yamada captured and better than Veikko Karvonen of Finland did in winning a year ago in 2:20:39. The next fastest win ning time was 2:25:39 by Korea's Yun Bok Sub in 1947. Personal Win for Yanks Costes, who took over in Natick 9.8 miles from the start where he's a school teacher and held on until Hamamura caught him, was third in 2:19:57. It was a tremend ous personal triumph for Costes and American runners. The prev ious best time for native runners was Joe Smith's 2:26:51 in 1942 A record at that time. As a year ago, the heralded fav orite couldn't live up to the role but Argentina s Reinaldo v Gorno, the smooth - striding Buenos Aires sanitation department foreman. finished fifth in the fine time of 2:20:28. He was 12 seconds behind the other entry from Finland. Faavo Kotila. . ' - ) I ?L&ittMyisKNTrC ywywEa-7 wMWLL FOULED UPOF AU.TM2 Ttp? I PRJYKTE CUOCLE BJTWKERSDOES LECRS2 ACT?
