Californians at Cambridge
P: Keith Brown of Yale, in the last event on the program, set a new world's pole-vault record--14 ft. 5 1/8 in. (Old record: 14 ft. 4 3/8 in., made by Southern California's Bill Graber in 1932.)
P: Maine's little Bates College sent two hammer-throwers. They (Anton Kishon and Lawrence Johnson) placed first and second. Kishon placed third in the discus throw that gave Bates a total of 12 points, third highest at the meet.
P: California discus-throwers have won every contest since discus-throwing was put on the program 14 years ago. Last week Kenneth Carpenter of the University of Southern California upheld his state's tradition with a throw of 159 ft. 6 in.
These last week were the highlights of the 59th annual track meet of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America at Cambridge, Mass. After two mild, damp days on Harvard's Soldiers Field, officials added up the totals, found that the Eastern athletes had won eight of the 15 individual championships while Southern California's team, with 51 points, had piled up the biggest total.
