not missed a 3-foot birdie putt
on the fourth hole at Fountain

the top spot, but not the money.
Lowe, a quiet-spoken 80
year-old pro, shot 1886

while Miracle, a member Of the
Air Force Band, shot 81.
It has been several years

Biz Lead Over Poles

WARSAW, Poland, July 81
apt just wish we'd had a
warm-up meet before we went
to Moscow This team is really
telling now" Payton Jordan.
coach of the touring United
States track and field team
said today
The American men, rebound
ing from the narrowest victory
in history against the Russians
last week end, rolled it up on
the Poles in the opener Of the
two-day meet yesterday, 1896.
John Pennel of Miami, Fla,
capped the performance in
pitch blackness with a world
record leap in the pole vault.
Pennel leaped an officially
announced $40 meters, or l6
feet, 83A inches. Actually, he
cleared the bar at 5.l05 me-
tiers, or 1919, but the metric
measurement was rounded off
to $40.
An application will be made
for a record at that height.
Broke Own Record
The reason for all this cent?
meter-splitting was that Pen
mel set the present standard
himself on July 10 in London
with a leap that was announced
there as 1894. But the metric
equivalent was listed as 5.098.
Even Pennel didn't know the
exact metric mark he made in
London.
They announced it only in
feet and inches" he said.
The vaulter tried to make the
whole thing academic by going
for II feet but darkness fell on
ultra-modern Tenth Anniver-
sary Stadium, which is equipped
with almost everything but
lights.
Two automobiles we're rushed
in from the parking lot to cast
their lights on the scene and
t thousands of Poles made
torches Of rolled-up newspa-
.pers. In this eerie setting, Pen
mel tried at II feet but couldn't
make it
I'm sorry it got so dark"
he said. II felt good and
thought I could make it this
time. But I just couldn't see
the bar at the end"
Penneps performance capped
a day when everything went
right for the Americans.
