Crimson Leads GBI; Beckwith Goes 6-4 1/2 For Jump Mark

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Marty Beckwith, breaking out of a slump that has dogged him all spring, set a new Harvard high ump record yesterday in the Greater Boston meet at Brandeis. Beckwith cleared 6 ft. 4 1/2 in., 1/2 in, better than his old mark, to take second behind John Thomas of B.U.

Thomas was first at 6 ft., 6 in. In a tie for third was another Crimson jumper having the best day of his career--John Voosen, who got over 6 ft., 3 in.

The high jump, despite all this brilliance, was the only final the Crimson didn't win yesterday, as it ran up 55 points to 21 1/2 for B.U. and 10 for B.C. The remaining events will be contested today, but the varsity may not risk running on Brandeis' macadam track if the weather is cold.

Rick DeLone, also returning to top form, won the shot put at 54 ft., 5 in., and captured the discus crown with his best effort ever, a 154 ft., 7 1/2 in, toss. Sarge Nichols was second in both events, and Loren Clayman finished fourth in the discus.

In the bro jump, the varsity's Sid Marland pulled an upset of sorts by tying Thomas at 22 ft., 5 in. Beckwith was third at 21 ft., 7 in., and Zeke Azikiwe fifth.

The Crimson's Jay Mahaney managed to tie for first in the pole vault at 12 ft., and Don Forte was in a fourth-place deadlock. Ted Bailey took the hammer at 186 ft., 6 in., followed by Leigh Callaway in fourth, and Tom Holcomb (186 ft., 4 in.) and Hobie Armstrong went one-two in the javelin.

Harry Rich, Don Kirkland, and Dave Nawi qualified for today's 440 finals, and Ed Hamlin and Eddie Meehan got into the 880 field. Rich had to run a 49.7 to qualify for the 440, but his game effort in the 880 eight minutes later fell short.
