gen flowed like soda pop as the
athletes competed not only
against each other, but also the
rarifled air.
The track and field highlights
came from Argentina and the
United States.
Argentina's star distance run
ner, Oswald SuareZ, ran away
with the 0000-meter run in the
comparatively slow time Of
32:42.6.
The altitude here knocked out
the lone hope for the United
States, Gordon Mckenzie of New
York. The leader in the early
running and given a good chance
to upset the favored Argentine,
Mckenzie had to leave the track
with IL laps of the 25 to go.
Argentina's other first-place
winner was Ingebord Pfuller, who
threw the discus l41 feet 8h
inches for the new Pan Am
record.
Two United States high jump
ers, Ernie Shelton and Herman
Wyatt. were the stars of the
afternoon. They tied at 6 feet 7
inches for a new meet record.
Shelton, from the University of
Southern California, won the
gold medal because he had fewer
misses in the competition.
Ernie was unhappy that he
didn't do better. He's done ell,
and hit 6-934 just last week. He
and Wyatt jumped almost 4
inches higher than anyone else.
Impressive, too, was the meet
record runs in the 100 meters by
Rod Richard of the United
States Army, formerly of UCLA,
and Mike Agostini of Trinidad,
They were clocked in 10.5, one
fifth of a second faster than the
mark set by Cuba's Rafael For
tun Chacon In 1851.
Chacon ran second to Dean
Smith of Texas in another heat,
timed at 106
{ A trio of United States 300
meter stars, Nal Whitfield, Lon
Spurrier and Arnold Sowell
placed second in their respective
heats, merely running fast
enough to qualify for the finals,
The best time posted in the 800
was by Ramon Sandoval of
Chile, 1:54.5
Whitfield, running the 800 for
the first time this season. was
timed at 1867 behind Juan D,
Miranda, Argentina. at 1855.
Aside from Mckenzie, who
said his legs gave OUT but who
refused to take oxygen from one
of numerous tanks on hand,
none of the United States run
ners said they noticed the alti-
tude very much.
Women's fencing and the BAN
tamweight and featherweight di-
visions of weight lifting were run
of in almost complete secrecy.
/ The weight winners were
Charley Vinci of Cleveland, who
stands 4-foot-ll. in the BAN
tams. and Carlos Chabes of Pam
anna. a featherweight. Vinci
had a total Of 800 Kilograms, or
$50 pounds, in the press, snatch,

Born in Denver, Colo, but
currently living in Oakland,

in the schools history. He didn't
play high school football and
as freshman saw most of the

Rugged Drill Slated
By Lions in Prep for
Blades Tomorrow

Player coach Stan Warecki
planned to send his Washington
Lions through a rugged practice
session today in preparation
for the crucial Eastern Hockey
League playod game with the
New Haven Blades at $50
o'clock tomorrow night at Uline
AfSna.
The Lions have their backs
almost to the wall. They lost
the first game of the best-three-
of-five series to the Blades by
one point in overtime Wednes-
day night at Uline. The third
game will be played in New
Haven Sunday and additional
games, if needed, will be played
here.
The winner of this series will
meet the winner of a similar
playoff between Baltimore and
Clinton for the league title IN q
best-four- of seven series.
There are a couple Of things
Warecki is counting on to get
the Lions back into contention.
For one. Goalie Jack Spencer
should not have another night
like Wednesday. Spencer let in
two goals, neither of which would
have come close had he been
playing his normal game.
He just had an off night. !"
Warecki said. He played terri
fic for us the last few weeks of
the season. # he plays the way
he should from here on out,
we'll win it ALL"
Warecki also hopes that Dick
Bittner, the New Haven goalie,
plays the type of game he should
play. Bittner always seems to
play over his head against the
Lions. A good goalie normally,
he was spectacular Wednesday,
turning back 48 Washington
scoring bids, 18 of them in the
first period.
Tickets for tomorrow nights

may be reserved through Lincoln
