Newspaper Page Text.Monday, May 27, 1963 PAGE 1-A Americas Track Hopes Brighten Following Record Setting Relays HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon t7 mi NEW POLE VAULT MARK University of Waihington student Brian Sternberg, who had just set a new world record pole vault mark of 16 feet 7 inches, fails in his attempt to better his own brand-new mark, as he missed at 1 6 feet 9 inches. Previous mark was 1 6 feet 6 inches. UPI Telephoto MODESTO, Calif. UPI Ameri ca s chances in the meet with Russia this summer never looked better today following a night of world-record cracking in the 22nd annual California Kelays Saturday. World marks were bettered in the pole vault, two mile relay and the broad jump; and the Ameri can record in the mile was topped by Peter Snell of New Zealand, who was clocked in 3:54.9. The pole vault mark, which is knocked over just about every weekend since the invention of the glass pole, went to Brian Sternberg, a 20-year-old Univer sity of Washington sophomore who cleared 16 feet, 7 inches. The broad jump of 27 feet, 4 inches by another 20-year-old Washington soph, Phil Shinnick, probably never will be recognized. A careless official watching the wind gauge failed to turn it on so the mark probably will be list ed as wind-aided. , Yank Basketball Team Dropped By Brazil 85-87 RIO DE JANEIRO (UPII-Thc United States, which invented the game of basketball and never has lost an Olympic or Pan-American court championship, still is looking for its first world title. Brazil won its second straight world crown Saturday night iby beating the Yanks, 85-81, after Yugoslavia downed Russia, 69-67, in the fourth annual round-robin scries. The U. S. squad which appeared here was virtually the same team that swept unbeaten through the recent Pan - American games at R Sao Paulo. However, it was not considered up to U. S. Olympic standards. Some 25.000 fans went wild Sat urday night after Brazil avenged a Pan-American loss to the Yanks. SQxut-tO'Gxut NEWSPAPERS SELLTHE MOST! XJ3 Vikings Win NAIA Title SALEM (UPl)-Al Raschio scat tered nine hits as Portland State edged Linfield 2-1 to gain its sec ond straight NAIA District 2 base ball championship Saturday. The Vikings topped the Wild cats 8-1 here Friday in the first game of the bcst-of-lhree contest series. But Portland State, which fin ished second in the NAIA national tournament last year after win ning the district title, won't get to go to the national playoffs this season. California Western was chosen to represent the Pacific Coast in this year's NAIA national tourney at St. Joseph, -Mo. It's a shame," said meet di rector Tom Moore, "there was practically no wind at the time." The surprising thine about the leap was that before Saturday, Shinnick never had lumped fur ther than 25 feet, 5 inches. But I got all excited when I saw Ralph Boston jump nearly 27 feet," he said. Boston finished second with a great leap of 27 feet, 2,4 inches. It was a night of fine perfor mances. And the nest overall probably was the glamor event, the mile. It was supposed to be a match between Sncll and America's Jim Beatty. But two others got into the Rains Halt Golf Play MEMPHIS, Tcnn.

More rain was forecast for to day, but optimistic officials went ahead and scheduled 36 holes of play. Saturday's 18 holes were rained out also.

Next came Bealty. then Jim Grelle, the latter two each timed in 3:58. "I was flat for the race," said Beatty without offering an alibi. "I don't know what happened. Maybe I trained too much (or the 5,000 meters. I can run 3:58 any time. I should have done better." Snell said he ran the race he had planned mainly keeping an eye on Beatty. "So I was surprised with the showing of Weisiger," said the New Zealander. "But I was all worked up for this race for a long time. Then, when they played the New Zealand national anthem I became inspired."
