I Sports, TV I Section B IANZ COUNTY'S HOME NEWSPAPER. EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL .6, 1963 Prepper Vaults 13-6 Henningsgaard Breaks State Record i I By LLOYD E. MILLEGAX Of the Regitter-Guard COTTAGE GROVE North Eugene successfully defended its Lane A-l Relays title Friday afternoon at Currin field. But it was the host's Mark Henningsgaard with a record shattering leap of a measured 13-6?i in the pole vault who came up with the meet's out- standing individual perform ance. It was the highest an Oregon high school student has ever gone topping the old mark of 13-5'i set by Oakridge's Daryl Stanley in 1958. He almost had to stop at 134 the standards wouldn't go any higher. But the problem was solved by standing them on two bales of hay. The 17 year - old Cottage Grove junior, who had gone 13-3 earlier in the week, missed on his first two tries at 13-4 and 13-6 both times clearing the bar easily on his last attempt. He made three attempts at 13-10. Each time he came close, , jr-- J i . . ....) .v P0 J i I nT" I ! 5 . brushing the bar off with his feet as be was coming down on his last two jumps. What's his goal for the year? "Originally I had set 14 feet as my target now's it's as high I can go, said Hennings gaard who is a starting quarter back and guard on the Lion's varsity football and basketball teams. And he made his IS jumps starting at an opening 11 feet with an undersized for him 14 foot fiberglass pole. I've ordered a 15 footer, and I hope it gets here in time for the Hayward Relays next Satur day." he said. Five vaulters cleared 12 feet All were using the whip-like pole. The Highlanders, defending state A-l track champions, cap tured seven of the thirteen first places, to pile up their winning total of 9m points. Cottage Grove, splitting the four records set with the cham pions, finished in the runnerup spot with 51. Willamette followed with 41, Springfield 37, South Eu gene 36 and Thurston 35. Other outstanding individual performances were turned in by Cam Molter, second in the district meet last year as a South Eugene sophomore, cleared 6 feet in the high jump. "I cleared the same height once in practice last spring, but this time I went over without brushing the standard," he grinned. North Eugene's Ed Reed, who has the best effort in the state so far at 55-4 ',7, pushed the shot 54-9V4 to nose out de fending state champion Alan Richards by two inches in their personal dual. Richard's took second in the discus and javelin with ef forts of 183-Vi and 143-6 and threw the shot 54-7'A to lead the Grovers to a shotput relay record. And it was Thurston's Jim Sagle who came up with the meet's most surprising perform ance, capturing first place in both the javelin and discus at 185-8 and 152-9. North Eugene's 440-yard relay unit turned In a 44.8 clocking to tie the old meet standard which had been set by Cottage Grove last year, and with both Gary Power and Gary Bendix jumping 5-9, upped the high jump relay mark to 17-0. The Highlander's junior dist ance ace Leon Henderson was clocked in 4:33.5 for the final four laps of the distance med ley as North Eugene won the event in 10:55.6.

Gordy Payne, last year's state A-l 440 champ from South Eu gene, ran the quarter in 48.2 and unheralded Ken Moore of North Eugene led all the way in running a 9:15.2 two mile. Pavne. soft-spoken lad with the chest of a horse, turned in an incredible performance fur a freshman making his first competitive effort of the spring First he ran a leg of a 440 relay. Then Payne simply over powered 1960 Canadian Olym pic team member Sig Ohlemann 48.2 quarter. After a brief rest, Payne won the 220 in 22.2. He finished up the day by overcom ing a 10-yard deficit on the final leg of the mile relay with a 48.1 440. Moore, not even the best mid dle distance runner at North Eugene last year, showed excel lent pace judgment as he ran each of his first six quarters in 69 or 70 seconds, just as he had said before the race he hoped to do. month, was second to Payne in the 440 in 49 5 and won his heat of the 330-yard intermediate hurdles in 40.3.

Two balls were hit out of the infield Friday, one a fly ball 'Blob-Bo' Fires 66, Moves Into Second In Masters Tourney By ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. to Pudgy Jack Nicklaus, whose nicknames range from "Blob-Bo" to "Baby Dumpling," was the young man to watch starting today's third round of the Masters golf tour nament. Although he and handsome Jay Hcbcrt were one shot be hind the midpoint leaders, husky Mike Souchak, the 23-year-old Nicklaus held center-stage after his dazzling comeback in the second round when a blazing putter carried him to a 6 under par 66. Souchak, a former end and place kicker on the Duke foot ball team, didn't play the first 36 talcs like a man who hasn't won a tournament In two years. His halfway chart was 89-70 139. Nicklaus was 74-66140 and Hcbert 70-70140. The 66 Nicklaus threw at the field Friday is the lowest score thus far in the 27th Masters and is only two shots off the record set by Lloyd Mangrum 23 years ago the. year Nicklaus was born. Souchak escaped a three-way deadlock when he capped his second straight steady round with an eight-foot birdie putt on 18. Bo Wininger, lied with Souchak at 69 after the first round, bogled the 18th and wound up with a 72 and 141 total, that put him in a tic for fourth place with late-finishing Ed Furgol, the lame-armed former U.S. Open champion who hlrdied two of the last three holes for a 1-undcr-par 71. Neither Gary Player nor Arnold Palmer, who with Nicklaus arc the big names of current-day golf, was in a particularly threatening position starting the final two rounds. Player, who said he never got the one big shot to'gct him rolling, struggled to a 74 for 145 six strokes off the pace. Palmer, the defending champion, who managed i mild rally on the back nine despite a ragged game, had a 73 for 147. The strong man from Pennsylvania teed off Thursday hoping to score two Masters "first." No one ever has won successive Masters titles and no one ever has won four Masters crowns. With two rounds to go, It isn't impossible for Palmer to come through but it would take another of those amazing rallies for which he is noted to turn the trick. Sam Snead. a three-time Masters champion, with a 73; for mer Open titlist Dick Mayer, with a 70, and Tony Lema, one of the hot young men among the touring pros, with a 69, were deadlocked in sixth place at 143. Among those who failed to qualify for the final 36 holes with 152 or belter were Jerry Barber, the little veteran who won the Azalea Open at Wilmington, N.C., last week, and for mer Maatnr ehamnlnne .lark Rurkn Jr and Cnrv Mtrirllrrnff.

He. threw only 23 balls all day. ,;- i Oregon, which ran its un beaten string to eight with the triumph, was to tackle Willam ette Saturday in a doubleheader at Howe Field, weather permitting. Not only did Snow retire that last 19 batters he faced, but ha personally accounted for the final 14 himself 10 strikeouts and four grounders to the mound. Whilo Snow was halting the visiting Badgers, the Ducks were getting a pair of doubles and a single in five trips from 5-8 Don Bandoras. . A double by Bandcras and an other by Cal Dean, a walk and two errors provided the Ducka with three runs in the first inning. Banderas; a sophomore from Auburn, Calif., doubled and acored on Fred Pcttengill's sin gle In the fourth. Sandy Nosier singled and scored on Ken Jen sen's single In the fifth. Snow faced only 29 batters. one of the three Bsdgers who singled being erased by I dou ble play. It was the seventh time this season the starting Duck pitcher has gone the route. Only In win over Willamctlo were the pitching chores divided as planned. PACIFIC ' ' Uyematau, tt ... Lee, rf Dlerekx, c ...... Alcorn, cf Crltt, If Stebhlna, lb Kraxherger. Sb..
