Runs 100 in 9.3 as Oregon Takes Far West Crown By DICK STRITE Register-Guard Sporti Editor Washington State with 20Vi, and Idaho with Hi. Seven meet and six field records went by the boards along with Jerome's world record 9.3 in the century, a mark held by many, including lloscoe Cook who finished second to Jerome in both the 100 and 220. Burleson was also a double winner for the Ducks and his 1:48.7 in the 880 was the best, in the nation and even Sig Ohle mann, the defending champion in the 440, ran the distance in 1:49.9, tied with Jim Parks of SMU as the previous best in NCAA, rankings. Burly won the mile in 4:05.6, good enough for a meet mark. He also 'ran a tremendous sec ond lap in the mile relay, a quar - ter estimated at 46.6, as he came from behind to give Jim Puckett a 10-yard lead he and Ohleman retained while setting a meet record. That was three record per formances for Burleson and 11 points to top Oregon State's great jumper and runner, Darrel Horn, who had nine points in three events. Burleson, Horn and high jumper Henry Wyborney of Washington Stale were the only won the 440, but Ohlemann did not make a title bid in the quar ter. Norm Hoffman of OSU was the defending champion in the haf-mile. Phil Paquin, out of action for weeks, and Darl McAllister, both Jerry Stubblefield came within a fraction of an inch of reaching his 170-foot goal, but his 169-lHs was a new meet, field and Ore gon record. Washington last its relay title to Oregon. Rich Cuddihy of Oregon State established an automatic meet record in the three-mile, a new event, and in the process ran the fastest NCAA race of the sea son with a 14:10.5 clocking, top ping Jack Nelson of Arkansas who was the previous leader with 14:12.2. ' Oregon, beaten only by South ern California in a dual meet, continued its dominance in the sport. The Webfoots hart won the Far West Relays at Pullman with 75 points to OSU's 43, and downed the Beavers 79-51 in a dual meet. The two neighborhood rivals clash again in a dual meet Tuesday, May 20. Oregon, however, sends a skele ton crew to the California Relays in Modesto next Saturday where the highlights are Oregon's as sault on the world four-mile re lay record and Jerome and Cook meeting San Jose's touled Den nis Johnson in the 100. Jerry Tarr, who was an impressive dou by Marsh." When reminded they didn't have too much competi tion, Cook replied, "We sure did Harry!" Bowerman said he was worried at times. Oregon State was ahead 26-24 after six events. "I figured with our best we could win by 10 points," Bow erman said, "but we were 5V4 points down in the field events and Oregon State 4 points up at the high jump, It was nerve racking."

Burly looked back with about 20 yards to go and slacked off cial) Sprinter Harry Jerome, with a world record-tying per formance in the 100, and Dyrol Burleson, with the best half-mile mark in the nation this season, paced Oregon's Webfoots to an eighth-consecutive triumph in the Far West (Northern Division) Re lays. ', A crowd of 1,885 spectators, discouraged by morning -long rains, watched coach Bill Bow erman's Webfoots amass a total of 73 points here Saturday after noon on a water-soaked track. . Coach Sam Bell's OSU Beav ers, with only a prayer of scoring an upset, collected 49 points, fol lowed by Washington with 21, at the end to win with compara tive ease. ' . The inside and outside lanes of the track were in bad condi tion, especially early in the meet although the rain stopped except for a light drizzle near the end. Jim Puckett had the second lane in the quarter and had a -good shot at Johnson, hut the heavy going was too much for the littla fellow and was even nosed out of Ihird place.

McAllister did not compete and Paquin made 14-4 for a third-place tie. John Douglas of Washington did not defend his title in the javelin, won by OSU'S Sieve Pauly at 228-11. Don Martin of OSU failed to win the discus title for the sec ond straight year as Oregon's athletes who retained their Fart ble winner in the hurdles Sat West titles. Six others lost their championships. Amos Marsh of Oregon State, who won the 100 and 220 last year, finished fourth in the 100 and was an also-ran in the 220. Bob Johnson of Oregon State urday, will also be gunning for a 13.9 or better in the highs. Oregon's two ace sprinters were happy with their double win. Jerome was the spokesman and said, "We were mad and took the lead and held it for three laps as he had quarters of 60, 64 and 64.
