room to come through at that
point"
Dwyer said he was uncertain
as to exactly what happened,
since everything happened so
fast.
"Santee went wide when Mel
sen went into the lead" he said.
II tried to come through on the
pole. I felt I had sufficient room.
I don't think should have been
disqualified"
He said Santee grabbed his
shoulder and he tried to push
it off. Actually, 1t appeared
that Santee tried to push Dwyer
off when Fred attempted to
cut in.
In any event. veteran officials
said they never had seen such
a happening before.
2:00.6 Pace for Half.
Ollen, who slowed down the
pace after one lap when he saw
Santee and Nielsen were not
keeping up, was caught in 58.6
for the quarter, and zoos for
the half. Santee. the three
quarters leader, was clocked in
3:O3.6.
Santee passed the 1,500-metter
mark in :48.3, one-tenth of a
second better than Glen Cum
ningham's world indoor record
for that distance. But, as has
been the case so many times in
the past. the officials weren't sure
it would be recognized because
Nielsen won the race. They didn't
say when they'd decide.
No one kept time splits on
Nielsen, and the record books
won't list the new record holders
quarter mile times.
Billy Tidwell of Emporia
(Kans.) State Teachers, also
crossed the finish line somewhere
in back of the leaders, as did
Ollen. who was last. The officials
we're so, excited at the end they
announced Ollen as the third
place man. He was nowhere to
be found.
BoySen Brilliant in $50.
The other big thrill of the
Games came in the half -mile in
which Audun Boysen of Norway
ran five rivals into the boards
to win going away in 1:51-just
a half second over the world in
door record posted by John
Borican in 1912.
Boysen, who holds the world
1,O00-meter record, took the lead
at the start and kept going. At
the end, Ron Delaney, Villanova
freshman, from Ireland, was Is
yards behind, Tom Courtney Of
Fordham was third and Gene
Maynard of Champaign. ILL.,. was
fourth.
Boysen's time broke the Mill
rose mark of 1852 set by Ger
many's Heinz Ulzheimer in 1858.
O'Brien and Richard Win.
Parry O'Brien, who now is
with the Armed Forces squad,
won the shot put with a heave
of 56 feet Z inches. AL Thomp-
son, also of the Armed Forces,
was second with a toss of 81
feet. 10la inches.
Rod Richard, former UCLA
sprint ace now with the Armed
Forces squad, won the 60-yard
dash in So. Arthur Bragg of
Baltimore. was inches behind in
second place and John Haines
of Penn, finished third.
Harrison billiard of Cleveland
won the 60-yard hurdles for the
ninth straight year in 10. This
shaped UP as a tough one for
him because both Jack Davis of
the Armed Forces and Rod
Perry of Penn State, the only
two men to beat him in the last
two years. were in it.
But billiard got off like a shot
and never left any. doubt as to
who was master. The 31-year-
old veteran flashed across the
finish a full yard in front Of
Charlie Pratt of Manhattan.
Perry was third and Davis
fourth.
Whitfield Takes 600.
Nal Whitfield. the Olympic
800-meter champion. who re-
turned only a week ago after a
long foreign tour for the State
Department, won the Mel Shep-
pard 600 for the second straight
year in l:10.8. Lou Jones Of the
Armed Forces was second, Reg
gle Pearman of the New York
Pioneer Club third and Joe Gaff-
ney of the Shanahan Catholic
Club, of Philadelphia fourth.
