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." In the mile, OSU's Dale Story

with a world record-tying per

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

John Douglas of Washington
did not defend his title in the

Don Martin of OSU failed to

which they trailed Idaho 304-300
after Friday's action, to win. Five

The championship was the

Washington for the most cham

ished his record-setting 880-yard run in Saturday's Far West track championships at
Corvallis. Burly, who also won the mile, was timed in 1:48.7 for the half for new
meet and field records. His 4:05.6 clocking for the mile also was a meet record,
