 New York, March .16--Two world records were shattered and one equalIed; Glenn Cunningham set tied his score with Gene venzke in the mile, and Emmett Toppino evened matters with Ralph Met calfe in the sprint last night as inc door track paraded it's brightest array of starg in the seasons grand finale. the Knights of Columbus games.
 More than 1s,00O fans in Madi- son Square Garden saw Keith Brown, lanky Yale sophomore, soar to a new indoor world record of IA feet 3-4 inches in the pole vault. They saw Barney Berlinger of the Penn A. c. set a new world mark 6:174.7s points for the seven events of the septathlon as he defeated Jim Bausch of Kansas City.
 Earl Mcdonald of the New York A.. c. equalled the. indoor world record of 0:07.4 in the semi-final heat of the 60-yard high hurdles. These record performances were well received, but the big thrills of the night came in the Cunningham Venzke. and Toppino-M -Metcalfe en- counters.
 Hail, The King.
 Cunningham clearly tablished his right to the title "king of Ann erican mllers" with his third vic- tory over the Pennsylvania fresh- man this season. He defeated Venzke so convincingly that the fans wondered how Gene could have beaten Cunningham for the indoor 1.5O0-meter title. Venzke | finished fourth.
 The Jayhawk flyer ran the fast est indoor mile of the season, fin- ishing in 4:12. two seconds under Venzke's world record. But it was not venzke who was on Cunning hams heels at the tape. It was Glen Dawson of Oklahoma, whose whirlwind drive in the stretch placed him five yards in the rear as Cunningham snapped the yarn Carl Coan of Pennsylvania passed Venxke in the last lap to place third. Venzke pounded along 20 paces behind Coan. The killing pace Gene had set during the first three quarters exhausted him.
 Speed Galore.
 Emmett Toppino, the diminutive ~'N'' OAsSsSh0 toAPCuO, B@lHcu Tcs venge on Ralph Metcalfe for the loss of his national indoor 6O-meter championship to the Marquette runner. Toppino last night gave Metcalfe his first defeat of the season, winning the 6O-yard dash In the fast time of 0:06.3, just one- tenth of second behind his own worlds record.
 Toppino was off to a flying start, yard ahead of Metcalfe at the 20. yard line and held this advantage to the 50-yards when the Mar. quette runner tried to pass him. Toppino accepted the challenge and finished one foot ahead. Al Kelly or Georgetown came third: Frank Wyof of California, fourth, and Phil Cohen of New York fifth. A few minutes after Toppino's victory, Keith Brown established the new pole vault record beating the mark of 14:01, established by Sabin Carr of Yale in 1928. Wirt Thompson, a Yale junior, cleared the bar at 14 feet.
 Joe McCluskey, Fordham Uni versity's "iron man," crowned his indoor season with decision vic- tory in the two-mile run. After one brush with George Lermond of the New York A. C., McCluskey won as he pleased, finishing a half lap ahead of his nearest rival, Paul Rekers of the New York A. C., in the good time of 9:13.4. Jack Ryan of Manhattan was third and Ter. mond fourth. Paul Randy, Bos- ton boy who. handed McCluskey the latter's only defeat of the win- ter, failed to measure up to form. He wilted and finished sixth.
