Sports Oregon Snaps World Four-Mile Relay Mark Archie San Romani (4:03.5) Vic Reeve (4:05.2) Corey's Kick the Difference Varsity Edges Alumni, 7-6 By DICK STIUTE Register-Guard Sports Editor Oregon's 1962 varsity football team wouldn't have impressed the Texas and Ohio State teams the Webfoots will play next fall on the strength of its 7-6 vic tory over the Oregon Alumni team Saturday on Hayward Field. A crowd estimated at 5,000 watched the third annual Alumni-Varsity game that cli maxed spring practice for the Webfoots. The Alumni won the first game 13-12 and last year the Webfoots won 27-6. Coach George Shaw's Alumni aggregation, with Jack Morris as first assistant, scored early in the second quarter on a quar terback sneak by Jack Crabtree, "Player of the Came" in the 1958 Rose Bowl, from a half yard out. Roger Daniels missed the placement Coach Len Casanova's Web foots, with five quarterbacks in action among the 35 players in service, won by a whisker. Lu Bain, slanted off his right tackle for eight yards and the touch down in th- third quarter. Buck Corey kicked the extra point.

Johnson Keeps World Crown THILADFLPHIA IP Harold Johnson spewed Doug Jones! with an accurate jab and shook up the challenger with quick counter flumes Saturday night to hold his ever-growing share of the world light heavyweight title on a unanimous decision in 15 rounds. The bout was marred by fighting after the bell in at least three rounds. Johnson played his usual cat-and-mouse game, stabbing with a left while waiting for an open ing to throw those quick com s fP' v J Jw The Alumni, with 39 players in action, missed two field goal opportunities in the first and fourth periods. Daniels' first at tempt was from the 26-yard line, the second from the 16. Actually the Alumni won the battle of statistics, except punt ing. Ron Snidow averaged 44.2 yards but Monte Brethaucr, a 1952 grad whose last season in football was with the Baltimore Colts in 1955, was a bit rusty at 31 years of age. 18 Completions Quarterbacks Dave Grosz and Crabtree riddled the Oregon de fense with 18 completions for 197 yards. Casanova admitted after the game, "We didn't work much on pass defense this spring," although Larry Hill, junior half back, was awarded a trophy at halftime for defensive work dur ing the spring, including pass defense. "They (the Alumni) had good pass protection, with those big guys up front like (Riley) Matt son, (Ron) Anderson, (Darrcll) Aschbachcr, (Bob) Grottkau, binations. Jones, a 21 underdog, kept wading in under constant count er fire, but he did not have enough experience to cope with his 33-year-old opponent. All three officials had John son a lopsided winner in this match witnessed by 5.137 fans payins $31,784. Referee Dave Beloff scored it 74-61, judge Nick Spane saw it 71-63 and judge Zack Clay ton had it 73-64, all in favor of the Philadelphia veteran (Al) Weigel, (Jack) Patera, and (John) Wilcox. I was dis appointed with our tackling," Cas said. Asked about the quarlerback ing, Cas said "Doug Post has had a year of experience and that helps. (Bob) Berry looked good at times." Cas said he seemed to be reasonably well satisfied with the game. "I'll have to go in and talk to my boys," Shaw said. "This has been a long season. Those one-point losses kill you." The quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Foot ball League said some of the offensive maneuvers were Min nesota plays, "but actually the offense was a bit of everything in view of the fact that we both knew rather well what the other team would do both on offense and defense." Asked his opinion of the Ore gon Varsity, Shaw said, "I was impressed with (Steve) Barnett and Bain and I think Oregon will have a good team. With (Mel) Renfro in the lineup there will be a big difference." While the Alumni threatened They fought after the bell in j the fifth and again in the sov Jenth. Then in the 11th when ! Johnson battered Jones to the : ropes and started to throw heavy punishment at him, they kept going for several seconds 1 after the .bell rang. t Referee Beloff said "both bovs were overanxious. They Just didn't hear 'he bell. After ! awhile I stepped in between ; them to be sure. Certainly I I heard the bell."

The Varsity had the ball on the Alumni 20 in the first peri od, on the 25 in the second and on the 12 in the fourth period without scoring. Jim Shanlcy, who looked like the Rose Bowler he was instead of a veteran coach at Highline (Seattle) High, was the leading ground gainer with 51 yards. Dave Grayson, "Back of the Game" in the 1960 Liberty Bowl, had 31 and also caught six passes for 38 yards. Mickey Bruce caught four passes for 80 yards. Grosz completed 12 of 22 and Crabtree 6 of 13. Balanced Gaining Oregon had balanced ground gaining from four backs, Bain the leader with 35 yards and sophomore Chuck Miller from Lebanon 30. Post and Berry completed only one pass each, Ron Veres leading the aerial lireworks for the Varsity with 3 out of 5 for 35 yards. End Paul Burleson was the leading receiver, taking two for 26 yards. Despite a heavy rain an hour before game time, the turf was in good shape. Mickey Bruce, after taking a pin-pointed pass from Grosz in the fourth quar ter, went 39 yards before slip ping on the Varsity 38. It was the longest gain of the day. Second longest was a 31 yard pass interference penalty against the Varsity in the sec ond quarter that gave the Alums first down on the Varsity 36. One of the loudest cheers came from the "Paddock Club" section wher. 30-year-old Wayne Johnson caught an 11-yard past from Grosz in the fourth quar ter. Keith DeCourscy, Emmett Williams, and Darrell Robin son, members of the 1949 Cot ton Bowl team, performed well for the Alums despite being at the ripe old ages of 37, 34, and 34, respectively. John Reed was the next oldest at 32.

(Scoring Summary, Page 5B) Oregon Rolls To 9846 Win In Dual Meet Washington Wins Only Four Events SEATTLE W Oregon won all but four events Saturday to beat Washington's Huskies 98- 46 in a dual track and field meet here. Five meet records and one stadium record fell as the Ducks, with some of their best performers passing up this meet in favor of the West Coast Re lays, swept to victory. Oregon's Sig Ohlcmann and Jerry Close bettered their own meet marks. Ohlcmann clipped 2.1 seconds off the 880-yard run mark he set last year when he finished the distance Saturday in 1:50.1. Close sailed 24 feet 2V4 inches in the broad jump to better his 23-9' record set last year. John Cramer, Washington pole vaulter, set a meet and stadium record when he sailed 15-3 V4. Cramer held both the stadium record of 15-lVi, set earlier this year, and the meet record of 1410, which he set last year. Oregon's Mike Gacchtcr fin ished the 220-yard low hurdles in 23 2 seconds to better the 23.5 mark set by Mack Robin son of Oregon in 1938.

(Special) An almost incredible effort by the University of Oregon and an equally fantastic anchor leg by Dyrol Burleson has left the world four-mile relay record in shambles. And, if the 16:08.9 clocking in the relay event wai not enough. Keith Forman who ran 4:02.5 in the relay narrow ly missed becoming a member of the four-minute club eight hours later when he ran 4:00.7. The Duck foursome, anchored by Burleson's 3:57.9, shaved nearly 15 seconds off the exist ing world record as Webfoot distance stars stole the show in the 36th annual West Coast Relays. Few doubted that the Ducks would break the record maybe not Saturday but eventually. Four milcrs from the same campus broke a record in an event that has been dominated by national teams. A New Zea land team held the mark of Lap Times for Oregon Milers Archie San Romani 60.3 63.9 61.1 58.24:03.5 Vic Reeve 58.5 64.5 62.2 60.04:05.2 Keith Forman 60.7 61.5 60.8 59.54:02.5 Dyrol Burleson 56.3 61.0 62.0 58.43:57.7 Emeralds Wallop Wenatchee by 15-7 WENATCHEE Eugene un loaded a IS hit barrage Saturday night and handed Wenatchee a 15-7 Northwest League baseball setback.

Jose Ca lero, Joe McLaughlin and Carlos Dore also had three hits apiece. Calero drove in three runs for the Emeralds who had in5.,.tsror-" ! .-..'. -a Budd Equals 220 Record VILLANOVA, ra. Of) Frank Budd, of Villanova Uni versity, world record holder in the 100-yard dash, Saturday tied the world record for the 220-yard dash In 20 seconds flat in a dual track meet with the Quantlco Marines. The record must be verified by the International Amateur Athletic Federation. Villanova coach Jim Elliot said he was sure it would be recognized. He ran the 100 earlier In the day in 9 3 at.'.nds, his fastest time for that event this year. 16:23.8. Before Burleson came home with his sub-four-minute effort, lead-off Archie San Romnni ran 4:03.5. Vic Reeve 4:05.2 and Forman the 4:02.5. 16:29.3 Last Year It was in this same meet year ago that Oregon set its sights on the world record. With George Larson running then in stead of San Romani, the Ducks set a United States record of 16:29.3. A crowd of 10,000 watched the world record in near ideal weather. It had rained during the night but the track had dried sufficiently to make it fast for the noon start. There was little doubt as the race progressed that the record was certain to fall. The ex citement built up as Burleson, American record-holder at 3:57- 6, took the baton. The Cottage Grove senior ripped off the first lap in 57 16:08.9 dropped the scries opener 13-0 Friday night.

'Good Team Effort' "It was such a good team ef fort, and the other three had done so well," said Burleson, "I just really wanted to go out there." Burleson then slowed his paca to 60.3 and 62.1 for the next two laps and came in with a 58.5 last lap and, in the process, lapped the anchor man for Western Michigan. The Michigan team, the only other team in the much-publicized event, finished In 17:24.5. San Romani, son of the famed Kansas miler of the 1930s, let Jerry Bashaw of Western Michi gan set the pace for two laps. Then he moved out and led by 100 yards at the mile. From then on it was the Wcb- foota running on their own. Sncll Ran 4:01.2 The New Zealand team, with Peter Sncll who later set a world mile record of 3:54.4 running a 4:01.2, ran the 4:23.8 in Dublin, Ireland, last summer. Murray Halberg ran 4:02.5, Barry Magee had a 4:07.2 and Gary Philpott a 4:12.9 in that record run. Once there wai a bad pass Saturday, that in the handoff from Reeve to Forman. Then Foreman ran his fastest ever until later that evening. It also was Rpeve's and San Romani's best effort ever. Snell will fly to California later this month. And there is a possibility Burleson may run against the New Zealand star. "If he's at Modesto for the California Relays," said the Ore gon miler, "1 want to run against him. He's the world champion and I don't have any thing to lose." Many expected Burleson would take a crack at four min utes in the open mile. But Forman, whose previous best was 4:05 2 in the NCAA a year ago, simply ran away from the field in turning in the fast est flat mile by a collegian this year. His lap times were 60.9, 59.9, 61 1 and then 58 8. Blggers Sell Pace Harold Blggers of Fresno State set the pace for a half mile with Close right on his heels. Then Forman took over. Harlan Andrews of the Stanford Frosh, former North Eugene runner, was 10th. Oregon sprinter Harry Jerome did it again 9 3 In win ning the 100. He had a 9.9 mile-an-hour wind behind his back, however. And Jerry Tarr, another Oregon star and the defending NCAA high hurdles champion, ran 13.7 in winning the event The wind was less than three miles an hour. When the wind and cold weather sprung up in the eve ning, Oregon scratched Its dis tance medley team that was trying for more records. UCLA won the event in 9:50.4, far off the best Oregon effort Roscoe Cook, an ex-Oregon sprinter, ran fifth in the cen tury in 9.5. (Story, Summaries, Page SB)
