TOM COURTNEY COPS 800
RICHARDS KEEPS OLYMPIC
By "LEO H. PETERSEN
United Press Sports Editor
Melbourne (lift) Tall Tom
Courtney of Livingston, N. J.,
a Yank who simply wouldn't be
beaten, spurted from behind and
won the Olympic 800-meter run
in record time today as the U.S.
widened its lead over Russia in
the unofficial team race with
three more gold medals in two
sports.
The Rev. Bob Richards of La
verne, Calif., retained his pole
vault crowa with an Olympic
record leap of 14 feet, lHi
inches and weight-lifter Tommy
Kono of Sacramento, Calif., won
the light heavyweight title with
two world records. However, one
other American champion was
dethroned.
Cy Young of Modesto, Calif.,
lest his javelin title to husky
Egil Danielsen of Norway who
set a new world record of 281
feet, 2'i inches nearly 40 feet
past Young's Olympic record
and nearly seven feet past the
world's previous best. Young
was buried under an avalanche
of others who broke his old
record and failed to qualify for
the final round.
Russia bagged one of the two
weight-lifting medals up 'for
grabs tonight when Arkidii Voro
biev won the middle heavy
weight crown by smashing the
world record in the press with
a lift of 325.18 pounds and the
Olympic record for total lift
with a combined 1,119 pounds.
Dave Sheppard, York, Pa., was
second with a total of 975.5
pounds and Gene Debuf of
France was third.
10 Medals For Yanks
The three gold medals in the
afternoon boosted the U. S. total
to 10 seven in track and put
the Yanks out in front by a wide
margin in the team race with a
total of 157 points to Russia's
97.
Courtney's tremendous victory
in the 800, however, was the
high point of the day for the 110,
000 wildly cheering fans in the
' huge arena. The former Ford
ham flash had the race ' won,
then almost lost it to a complete
outsider, Derek Johnson of Great
Britain, then came on again with
a last moment spurt to win by
a stride In 1:47.7.
Johnson was second, Audun
Boysen of Norway was third, Ar
nie Sowell of Pittsburgh fourth,
Michiel Farrell of Great Britain
fifth and Len Spurrier of Delano,
eCalif., was sixtn. Courtney's time
it a good-sized chunk off the
Olympic jecOrd.cf 1:49.2 set by
Mai WrHtfield of. the U. S. in
18 and tied by Mai in '52.'
The favored U. S. basketball
teamapilefl up the highest score
in Olympic history by whacking
the Philippines 121-53 for its
third straight victory. Bob Jean
gerard of Wilmette, 111., former
Colorado star, led the Yanks
with Zi points but as usual it
was San Franoisco's Bill Russell
who drew the most applause
fi;om the crowd though he played
fvs than half the game.
Russia, beaten by France in
its previous game, downed Sing
apore 91-43 and stayed "alive"
for a possible title showdown
e?ainst the United States.
Pole Vaulieri Help
q Other contributors to the soar
iH American point total during
the aftefnoon were Bob Gutow
ski of Lajolla, Calif., and George
Xattos of Snta Cruz, Calif.,
houfinished second and fourth
in the pole vault; Isabelle Dan
iels f Jakin, Ga., who picked up
a fourth in the women's 100-

day's rowing finals. The only
Crew eliminated today was the

Olympic
Ramblings
By BILL BOWERMAN
U of O Track Coach
En Route to Olympics with
Traek and Field News Tour, Out
of Canton Island headed for Fiji,
Nov. 19 Getting out of San
Francisco was not easy. We were
scheduled at 8 a.m. and made it
at noon fog long trip to Ha
waii. Visited with mother of Rafer
Johnson, a couple of Los Angeles
sportswriters. These sports writ
ers reflect some of the animosity
of the L.A. area. They are re
sentful that the conference had
courage enough to enforce the
rules, and they are not informed
enough to realize that the things
that were being done to young
men in the name of "assistance
and scholarships" by the rule
breakers were undermining the
entire educational program.
Surely hope our conference
presidents have the courage to
stick by their convictions and
keep our conference clean or
chuck the whole thing and admit
that football has whipped them.
Glamour Missing
We got into Honolulu after
dark. There was none of the
glamour I had read about:
1. We could see nothing except
the torches burning on the road
side.
2. No playing of ukeleles.
3. Duke Kohananee, or some
thing or other, was not standing
waist deep in the breakers with
surf board under arm.
.4. And finally, it was raining
thought I was in Eugene, ex
cept it was warm rain.
We were all given an orchid
lei and whooshed to the Reef
hotel for a wait. People were in
teresting. I suppose the long
house coat affairs many of the
people wore are typical Ha
waiian garb. Many men in
shorts, Hawaiian beach shirts,
etc.
We flew all night and landed
at Canton Island at dawn. This
atoll is a coral reef about 50 to
110 yards wide and a complete
15-mile, circle around a lagoon.
Very picturesque. Supposed to
be excellent fishing, 50 to 60
pounders. Also an abandoned
outrigger canoe with the flotsam
on the beach. What an outfit for
a Boy Scout camp. We are off
for Fiji, another 1600 miles. At
the airport there was a tall pole
with sign boards reading "Ha
waii 1900 miles, Singapore -2700
miles, London 11,000 miles, Mel
bourne 2300 miles." And I
thought, "Oregon 7700 miles."
Corvallis OI.PJ Oregon
State's Coach Tommy Prothro,

a formality to come, today, de
parted here last night for a brief
Hawaiian vacation. The Beaver
boss plans to return to Corvallis
Dec. 9. He will call his team to
gether on the 14th and hold five
days of conditioning drills be
fore the squad leaves for its
training camp in the southland
and start work for the Rose
Bowl game against Iowa.
WRONG NUMBER
Miami iU.P.) The Southern

to 480,000 miscues a week and

Morrow of San Benito, Tex.,
each won two heats in the 200
meters to qualify for Tuesday's
semi-finals. Bill Dellinger of
Springfield, Ore., was the only
qualifier at 5,000 meters.
It took a desperate rally to
save the 800-meter medal for the
U. S., but Courtney was equal
to the task. He was off the mark
on top but was content to let
Sowell set the pace as they head
ed into the back stretch on the
first of two laps and thereby ap
parently saved an extra ounce he
needed so sorely at the finish.

Medford Principal Lester Har

There will be no limit on the

Efforts were still being made
today to switch the game to
Hayward field at Eugene and to
a different time in order to bet
ter convenience the supporters
of both the Black Tornado and
the Pirates. However, it appear
ed that the labors would come
to no avail.
Harris said that he had made
a formal request to the OSAA,
asking that the game be played
on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 2 p.m.
on the Eugene collegiate turf.
He made an alternate request
that the contest be shifted to i
p.m. Saturday if it could not be
moved from Multnomah stadium
in Portland.
Decision Made
Nevertheless, Tom Pigott, executive-secretary
of the OSAA,
contacted by the Mail Tribune
this morning, stressed that the
board of control already had
made its decision to keep the
play-off final at Multnomah on
Friday. He indicated that he did
not expect the board to change
its mind.
Pigott said that he, himself,
would not bring the matter up
to the board foi; further discus

that there are "so many things

Melbourne (U.R) The Unit

to win as high as 14 gold medals
in the Olympic games, already
has fatigued the band which
salutes the winners when they
mount the victory rostrum.
When Tom Courtney, the 800
meter winner, stepped up to the
platform to receive the- sixth
American gold medal and the
band had to play the Star Span
gled Banner for the sixth time,
only two bars of the American
national anthem were played.
The music stopped dead,
Courtney looked around in stern
surprise and then when it be
came obvious that the band in
tended to play no more, he shrug

amusement and jumped down

the gold medal within easy reach

George Roubanis of Greece went
out at 14 feet, 10U inches.
The bar was raised to 14-11V2,
a fraction over the Olympic
record Richards set four years
ago and Gutowski went out.
Richards, too, missed his first
turn at that height but made it
on the second though he
brushed the bar as he floated
across.
In weight-lifting, Kono set
new world records for the jerk
lift and total lift as he won the
light heavyweight crown. Kono,
who won the 1952 Olympic light
weight title, hoisted 285.81
pounds in the jerk, bettering the
old record of 281.39 pounds set
by Russia's T. Lomakin in 1955.
His total of 986.25 was 27.55
pounds over his own wld
record.

not think a change feasible did
not see how a change could be
made at such a late date.
Meanwhile, there is the feel
ing that the game in Portland
between two southern Oregon
teams discriminates against fans
of the two clubs. Many people
feel that they can't afford an
overnight trip to Portland, let
alone get away from their jobs
to go from Coos Bay or Medford
to a Friday night game.

Hayward field is still available.

closes out its regular season
against Georgia.
Cotton Bowl officials, it was
learned, also are interested in
matching Tennessee against Tex

Georgia Tech, Syracuse and Pitt
also are being considered.
Clemson, ACC Champ
Colorado's opponent in the
Orange Bowl also is not expected
