JULY 23. 13tJ Track, Field Meet Three-Ring Circus By HAL WOOD Stanford, Calif. - WMi - The United States Russian track and field meet has to rate with the Olympic names as one of the world s great sports spectacles. The two-day show here at tracted better than 150,000 fans into Stanford stadium many of whom came just to sec what a Russian looked like. But they all stayed to ap plaud one of the Rreatcst - A WORLD RECORD - Russia's Valeriy Brumcl waves to crowd of some 80,000 track fans who witnessed his world record high Jump of 7-5. (UPI)lgcther as well as athletes, , shows on earth. It's the World Series, hockey play - offs and Rose Bowl all wrapped up into one. It's a three ring cir cus. Never before in history had fans been able to take such a choice: watch Al Oertcr throw the discus over the one-time barrier of 200 feet or look at Valeriy Brumcl clear 7 feet 5 inches in the high Jump enroute to a world record. It happened at the same time and the spectator had to make a decision. Or on opening dav the choice of watching Hal Con nolly set a world record of 231 feel, 10 inches in the ham mcr throw, or twist the neck and sec the 400-meter relay team in its breath-taking baton-passing act. It was a good - nalurcd crowd that applauded the Rus sians eaqually as hard as it did the Americans and saved it's greatest ovation of all for Brumcl. But its second biggest hand went to a couple of lads who finished third snd second Max Truex, who made a val iant but losing run in the 10, 000 meters; and George Young, who fell during the 3,000 - meter steeplechase, but still got up to chase a Rus sian across the finish line. And there had to be a lump in the throats as most of the B1.000 fans Sunday stayed 'til nightfall to watch the athletes who had been battling each other bitterly for two days, walk off the field arm - In - arm after the band had played "God; Bless America. ' It was a spine - tinglcr one that the fans won't for get and possibly set most of them wondering why the statesmen can't get along to i TO vfffi J I . & 1 15 KV.iA THROWS HAMMER FOR NEW RECORD-Thc Mighty Hal break his own record for a new world record Saturday at Connollv.

But it only was one of the eight first places which the Soviet track and field squad could pick up while the U.S. men won 14 events.
