SALTWATER. Okla, June Ii
Lean Don Boydston, sophomore
sensation of the Oklahoma Aggie
track squad who came within an
elbow of smashing the world high
jump record two months ago, still
is up in the air-trying to figure
how he got that far off the ground.
In his first appearance on the
varsity squad, the Aggie thin man
scared 6 feet 81 inches to win the
event at the Southwest Exposition
meet in Fort Worth, Tex, March 16.
A few minutes later, spectators
and participants held their breath
as Don took off with the bar at
6 feet 10 inches, a quarter-inch
above the world record.
He was overall 6 feet 2 inches of
him-eXcept an elbow. which nicked
the crossbar and sent it spinning
to the ground behind him. The
sports world hailed him as the find
Of the season.
But half dozen meets have
come and gone since then, and the
19-year-old sophomore hasn't even
been close to the world mark of
s feet ga inches, set by Cornelius
johnson Of Compton, Calf, Junior
College. and David Albritton of
Ohio State at New York in 1896.
Now Don is almost sorry his initial
performance was so good. II put
myself on the spot" he said today.
Everybody expects me to break a
record every time I go out"
