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.

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.

ond straight NAIA District 2 base
ball championship Saturday.
The Vikings topped the Wild
cats 8-1 here Friday in the first

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 without offering an alibi.
"I don't know what happened.

Johnson 78-5 Favorite

LAS VEGAS, Ncv. (UPI) -Light
heavyweight champion Har
old Johnson Is a prohibitive favor
ite at 18-5 to beat clever Willie
Pastrano at the La9 Vegas con
vention center Saturday night in
their title light, which features
this week's boxing schedule.
Their 15-round bout will be tele
vised nationally by ABC.
This will be the fifth defense .'or
muscular Johnson of Philadelphia,
.14, since he won the vacant title
in 1961.
Twenty-seven-yrar old Pastrano
of Miami Beach, second-ranking
contender, clinched the title shot
by upsetting Wayne ThomUm of
Fresno, Calif., by a decision on
May 4.
Johnson seeks his 20th straight
vietorv. He hai-Vl ' been bealen
since May 6. 1955. when knocked
nut by Julio Mederos in the "doped
orange" incident.
Johnson is heavily favored be
cause of his combined skill and
punch. Pastrano is the speediest
and most elusive performer in
the' 175-pound division, but he is
a comparatively light hitter.

In Effort To Ignite Angels
LOS ANGELES (UPU - Man
ager Bill Rigney devoted today's
break in his club's schedule to
play musical chairs with the Los
Angeles Angels lineup while
awaiting the arrival of the Detroit
Tigers Tuesday,
ltigney and general manager
Fred Haney's five-player switch
over the weekend apparently
shook up the Angels enough so
that they took the final game from
the Kansas City Athletics Sunday
6-4, coming up with a big inning
and a pair of timely hits for the
victory.
With Bo Belinsky headed tor the
Hawaii Islanders of the Pacific
Coast League. Rigney said the ec
centric southpaw's sidekick. Dean
Chance, will return to the starting
rotation this week, probably in
Thursday's day encounter with the
Tigers. 1
And Rignev was satisfied itli
the initial effort of first baseman
Charley Dees and will have him
back in the lineup tomorrow. Dees i
in his first major league turn at
hat Sunday doubled in a run and
he also demonstrated excellent de
fensive ability.
Decs was one of the players in
volved in the hig switch that also
sent outfielder Ken Hunt to Ha
waii and rookie catcher Ed Kirk
Patrick to Nashville as well as
bringing in veteran catcher Hank
F'oilcs, signed as a free agent.
Rigney was contemplating using
outlielder George Thomas at thud
base when action resumes Tues
day with Lee Thomas going to the
outfield while Dees occupies first
base.
The Angels mounted a 10-hit at
tack against the Athletics to sal
vage the final game of the series
and Rigney commented that the
victory, "may have gotten us over
Hie hump."
Inficlders Rilly Moran and Jim
Fregosi wielded the big bats (or

each in the big sixth inning when
Los Angeles batted around.
