Morris was eliminated whan ha finished last in tha second heat, tha news serrica reported. No time for Morris waa available for either the first or second heat. Boulder, Colo. (U.R) Arnie owell of Pittsburg, driven by a desire to vindicate his lazy failure in the NCAA champion ships last week, unofficially bettered the world record in the National AAU 880-yard finals Saturday by a full second. Ken Reiser of the University of Oregon, running for the Eu gene, Ore., Town club took the Boulder, Colo. (U.R) The Hew Tork Athletie club won the unofficial team title in the National AAU track and field championship here Saturday with a total of 111 points. The Los Angeles Athletie club amassed 97V points, and the New Tork Pioneer club had 54 points. San Francisco's 'Olympic club ranked fourth with 342 points.

Despite the rare atmosphere of the 5,000-foot altitude at the University of Colorado here, Sowell set such, a blistering pace from the start that four other runner beat the AAU meet record trying to keep up with him. Lonnie Spurrier, who ear lier this year also bettered the world 880-yard mark of 1:48.6, matched Sowell stride for stride for the first 440 -yards Saturday but finished fifth. 1 Sowell's time yesterday was 1:47.6. Spurrier's mark of 1:47.5 is now being considered for of ficial world record status. If it is rejected, then Sowell's time will have a chance at world recognition. Mai Whitfield established the recognized world record in 1953. Gunnar Nielsen of Denmark tied it in 1954. Sowell "fell asleep" last week in the NCAA meet at Los An geles, and failed to qualify for the 880-yard finals. He consid ered himself disgraced, and came here vowing to "set the pace if it kills me." Sowell Near Fainting ' When he burst through the .tape, the full effect of running in an atmosphere 20 per cent less dense than at sea level hit him and Sowell collapsed into a near-faint. But he recovered in time to receive the accolade of "outstanding athlete" at the end of the AAU championships. "I wanted to make up for .last week's fiasco," Sowell said happily. '! Despite low, rain-heavy clouds and occasional sprinkles, a crowd of 13,500 showed up for AAU ;championships at Folsom field. They hoped to see Sowell, Mai iWhitfield and Wes Santee vie in the 880, but .Santee entered 'only for the mile and Whitfield 'chose the 440. The 880 turned 'out to be the finest event of the two-day meet, just the same. ; In ' the preliminaries of the ! 220-yard dash, Texas university's 'Dean Smith equaled the AAU mark of :21.1 around a curve ;in winning his semi-final heat. : But Rod Richard of the Army won the final in a. flat 21 sec onds, breaking the AAU meet record set by Art Bragg in 1954. jDick Blair of Kansas university was second in :21.1, and Smith could do no better than fifth. ; Throws Javelin .260 Feet - Frank Held of the San Fran ,cisco Olympic club, the world champion, won the javelin with a throw of 260 feet, 3 inches, boosting his own AAU record again. He had topped his 1954 AAU record of 249 feet, 8 inches with a throw of 253 feet, 11V4 inches in the preliminaries yesterday. But his best throw yesterday was more than three feet off his 1953 world record. Victor Paredes of the Cuban National Physical Education in- stitute won the hop,' step and jump yesterday with a 50 foot, 3 inch effort. In the 440-yard dash. Villa nova's Charley Jenkins left the once invincible Mai Whitfield and defending champion Jim LeLa far behind today, but threatened no records. O'Brien 2-Event Winner Parry O'Brien of the Air Force became a two-event winner by whipping world champion For tun Gordien of the Los Angeles Athletic club in the discus. O' Brien won the shot put, of which he is the acknowledged world master, yesterday. Broken Takes Two Gordien's best toss today was only 147 feet, six inches 20 feet shy of his world record and 13 inches less than O'Brien's winning throw. Boulder, Colo. (U.R) Jerry Church of Oregon State college had the best javelin toss of his athletic career Friday to qualify for the finals of the national AAU track and field champion ships here. Church's toss went 236 feet -8 inches, to put him fifth among qualifiers for yesterday's finals.

Ironically, he was edged by Jack Davis, former USC hurdler, who jumped the gun in the finals and was dis qualified. into a doublebill.
