Oregon shattered the American four-mile relay record Saturday with a 16:29.3 clocking, just 4.1 seconds off the world record. Dyrol Burleson, the Wcbfoot junior who last year become the United States' second sub-four-minute miler, anchored the record with a blazing 4:00.3 mile. The mark came In the 35th annual Fresno Relays in a race that brought together three of the nation's finest four-mile teams Oregon, Oregon State and Houston. But the Oregon team of sophomore Vic Reeve, senior George Larson, sophomore Keith Forman and Burleson turned it into no contest. Burleson finished 100 yards ahead of Dale Story, running anchor for Oregon State.- The time clipped 23 seconds off the listed American record of 16:52.6 set in 1952 by an AAU team. And it broke the pending record of 16:50.4 set this year by Western Michigan. It was Forman who decided the race as the former Portland prep star pulled away on tha third lap of his third leg and went on for a 4:05.3 effort. Reeves, a Canadian and the only non-Oregonian on the team, was timed in 4:09.8 and Larson had 4:13.9. Oregon State was timed in 16:48.0 and Hou ston, anchored by Al Lawrence of Australia, was third in 16:57.6. Oregon State surged into an early lead but Reeve quickly got the lead for the Webfoots. It went to Houston on tho second leg briefly. Then Forman surged past Houston's Pat Clohcssy on the third lap of his leg and Ore gon was in the lead for good. Burleson, the former Cottage Grove star, was timed in 57, 61, 62 and 60.3 for the quarters. Story passed Lawrence to give Oregon State second but Burleson was running alone.
