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."

Grosz pass on the nine-yard line
and returned 22 yards in the
third period; and in the final
period had a first down on the
Varsity 19.
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.
No varsity players were In
jured during the rugged con
test, but Jack Patera of the
Alumni suffered a broken right
ankle and Bob Grottkau rein
jured his left knee.

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. The oth
er meet record came in the
mile relay where Oregon's team
finished in 3:18.1 to better
1961's 3:17.2 mark, also set by

Forman Mile Winner
With 4:00.7 Clocking
FRESNO, Calif. (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

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. A doubleheader
winds up the series Sunday.

seconds and explained later that
he ran that fast "because I was
excited."
'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.
