Who Won

-- Texas Southern University's James Hines: the 60-yd. dash at the N.A.I.A. indoor track meet in Kansas City, tying the world indoor record of 5.9 sec. once in a preliminary heat, again in the finals. In a meet at Los Angeles, Jerry Proctor, a 17-year-old from Pasadena, broad-jumped 25 ft. 101 in., and U.S.C.'s Bob Seagren polevaulted 17 ft. 2 in.--1 in. above his own world indoor mark--only to have the leap nullified because his pole fell into the landing pit. > Drin: the 1 1/4-mile Strub Stakes, first $100,000-added horse race of the year (total value: $129,800), charging from ninth in a field of twelve to score by a length, at California's Santa Anita Park. The prerace favorite (at 3-5) was Ogden Phipps's four-year-old Buckpasser, Horse of the Year in 1966, winner of eleven straight stakes, and fourth biggest money winner ($1,271,224) in thoroughbred history. Buckpasser was scratched when he was found to have a quarter crack in one hoof similar to a split toenail in a human. The same kind of injury kept Buckpasser out of last year's Kentucky Derby; this time, he is expected to be out of action for at least two months.
