San Francisco was the last

three successive regional cham

tonight.
With Colorado's Big Eight
champions in a zone defense
and the middle tied up, Bon
ham fired in one jump shot

Colorado never got closer

AS he crossed the tape, Hayes
was shaking his head, indicat-
ing he knew he hadn't broken
the record set by Villanova's
Frank Budd last June.
Hayes was a step ahead of
teammate Robert Paramore,
who finished in 9.5. the same
man who pushed him to victory
last month.
A following wind was clocked
at 3.6 miles per hour, more than
mile under the minimum al
lowed for claiming a record.
Approximately 1000 specta-
tors watched Hayes attempt.
