The long one came on his seventh and final toss. And a fleet-footed foursome from Fordham University raced the fastest two-mile in history. Their time of seven minutes 27.3 seconds is nearly two full seconds better than the world record of 7:29.2 set by an all-star American team in London in 19S2. ' Anchorman Tom Courtney, with a running start, was timed in 1:46 for his 880 lap. This exceeds Mai Whitfield's world mark of 1:49.2.

Tbe Trojans just did beat out Texas in the 440-yard relay in the good time of 40.7. The expected soaring contest be tween Troy's Ernie Shelton and East Texas State's Charles Hold ing lived up to expectations. Shel ton won with a leap of 6-9. Hold ing was second with t-V,,. The so-called Roger Bannister miracle mile was less exciting, with Ingvar Ericsson of Sweden coming from behind in the last 75 yards to win easily in 4:13.1. Dean Smith of Texas won the 100-yard dash in 9.6. He wai pushed by Andy Stanfleld of the Grand 8lreet Boys Assn. of New York. Stanfleld captured the 220-yard low hurdles in 23 seconds flat.

A national two-mile freshman re lay record was established by a UCLA team in 7:40.4. In the open two-mile won in world record time by Fordham the second and third place teams, California and Occidental respec tively, both also ran faster than the previous world mark.

The ducks rouiea uregon bibic, 12-6, Friday to gain a tie for first. Ten Beaver errors were respon sible. Both Oregon and Oregon State, going into Saturday's clinch er, sported 10-5 records, Idaho, meanwhile, put a damper on Washington's hopes by down ing the Huskies, 9-6, in the loop's other game Friday, at Moscow. The weather could play a very Important part In Saturday's Oregon-Oregon State game at Eugene. If the game Is rained out, Oregon, which has a 2-1 edge In its four game series thus far with the Beavers, would be declared North ern Division champ. Along with the title the Ducks would get an automatic bid to the Far West NCAA playoffs May 29 31, playing against Southern Cali fornia, Seattle University and Fresno State for a berth in the national NCAA playoffs at Omaha.
