6 Webfoot Goes for By HAL WOOD Fresno, Calif. -UP1) Univer tity of Oregon, boasting the greatest quartet of milers eve? attending one college at ' the same time, goes after the world four-mile relay mark Saturday noon in the West Coast Relays. - It's the kick-off of the 36th annual track and field carni val which boasts the slogan that this is where world rec ords are broken. Headlining the fearsome foursome of Webfoots is Dyrol Burleson, who has bettered the four-minute barrier. His best time this year is a nice 4:01.2. Archie San Romani, son of a one-time great track star at USC, has been clocked in 4:03.8, Vic Reeve in 4:05.5 and Keith Forman 4:06.2. If they all get together on a best time they could crack the world mark set by the New Zealand team led by Peter Snell and Murray Hal berg, which is 16:23.8. The track is fast, as usual, for this year's meet. The weather man says the tem peratures will be between 70 and 80, with a slight wind of 5-10 miles an hour. Early Feature The four-mile relay event will be the early feature of the show. During the night events, the only two men in history ever to clear the 16 foot mark will tangle for the first time. They are the Marines, John Uelscs and David Tork-and their battle may Inst through most of the night. Besides these two high-flying perform crs, there are at least a half dozen others who have clear ed 15 feet or better-which was a magic height just a few years ago. The 100-yard dash also shapes up as a dandy, with Harry Jerome, the Canadian from Oregon; Larry Dunn of Arizona and Dennis Johnson of San Jose State all having been clocked in 9.3-a tenth of a second off the world record. There's a seven-foot high jumper in the competition, too, in the person of Gene Johnson of California; Dallas Long, the USC ace, will be tossing out past the 60-fool mark in the shot; and Jay Silvester of Fort Ord and Rink Babka will be gunning ... on all service and repair work!

The Webfoot team also will take a shot at the distance medley record of 9:35 set by the Santa Clara Valley Youth Village in 1060. Oregon set a collegiate record of 9:36.2 in that event earlier this year. The other Oregon runner competing will be defending NCAA champion Jerry Tarr in the high hurdles. Oregon State will enter a full team, headed by Dale Story, who is after a world's record in the 5,000 meters. Story is credited with the best three-mile time in the nation this spring, 13:41.5. The world's record is 13:35 by Vladimir Kuts of Russia in 1957. The Beavers also may threaten some records in the 440, 880 and mile relays. Lynn Eves, Tom Boswell, Gary Comer and Bob Johnson will run the shortest event, with Norm Monroe replacing Boswell in the 880. John Bell may replace Eves in the mile relay, in which Oregon State has been clock in 3:10.4.

It was the seventh league win against no losses for the Vikings. The loss gave SOC an 8-2 loop standing. The two clubs were to meet in a twin bill today. PSC collected four of its runs in the second inning on two bases on balls, a fielder's option, a single by Frank Mc- Cormick and a double by John Woodward. Viking pitcher Gordon Riese held the Red Raiders to four hits. Dave Hughes got three of them in four times up and Damicn Rossetto socked Von Goering Keeps Crown With Draw Fritz Von Goering is still Northwest heavyweight wres tling champion today follow ing the fluke ending of his match with Rocky Columbo at Medford armory last night. With falls standing at one each, a near-riot resulted when Von Goering threw Co lumbo out of the ring and wouldn't let him back in. In retaliation Columbo pulled the German out of the ring and they went at it furiously in the aisles. Referee George Erickson of Grants Pass counted to 20, which is the maximum time allowed for a wrestler to re turn to the ring, and when they were still lighting among the spectators, he stopped the match and declared it a draw, since neither man had the re quired two-fall advantage. Columbo had taken the first fall with a drop kick and body press in 10 minutes and Von Goering evened it five minutes later with a knee to Columbo's groin, a smash into a turnbuckle and a body press. During the second fall the lights went out momentarily and when they came back on Von Goering was choking Co lumbo. which softened him up considerably for the fall. Two Subiiitutions Although the curd was a good one, judging from the reaction of the 538 paying customers, it was marred by two substitutions. Mr. Moto. scheduled to appear in the semi windup, was injured Wednesday night and his place taken by Kurt Von roppenheini. The veteran Portlander took two out of three falls from Dick Garza in a fast and rough match. Von Poppenheim used a half crab to grab the first fall in 12 minutes but five minutes later Garza had even ed tilings with a full nelson. Von Poppenheim needed six minutes to get the decider, using a body press after slow ing the Michiuan youngster with elbow smashes and chops HEAR ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS Each Sunday Mornin 8:30 on 0 K-DOV c vM , mmmm - - . v. mt ass" rj- sat m$y-:L 3 , at Baltimore in Staters Raiders the other.
