Olympic team loaded with stars
South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (UPI)—"It has to be one of the finest teams ever taken to an Olympics," said Payton Jordan today in describing the record-setting crew of track and field stars he saw in action at the U.S. trials.
"I think the boys adjusted well to the altitude, once they got it out of their minds, and started to concentrate on the events themselves," co ntinued the head coach of the U.S. men's Olympic team. "Some very fine athletes didn't make it but I think the very best ones did."
The eight day competition would up Monday on a sunny and bright afternoon with Jim Ryun, the world record holder, winning the 1,500 meter run in 3:49.0, well off his 3:33.1 record and Ed Caruthers of Santa Ana, Calif., shading high schooler Reynaldo Brown in the high iump.
World Records
The two events proved antici-micacy after Geoff Vanderstock, Bob Seagreen, John Carlos and Lee Evans had set world records. Vanderstock took the 400 intermediate hurdles record down to 48.8 seconds, Seagren vaulted 17-9. Carlos ran the 200 meter dash in 19.7 and Evans the 400 meter run in 44 seconds flat.
Dick Fosbury also jumped 7-3 to join Caruthers and Brown, a 17-year-old high school student from Compton, Calif., in the Olympics. Martin Liquori, a 19-year-old soph from Villanova, finished second to Ryun in the 1,500 in 3:49.5 and Tom Von Ruden of the Army was third in 3:49.8.
Other former olympians who will make the trip to Mexico City next month will be hammer throwers Ed Burke, Al Hall and Hal Connolly, Frank Covelli in the javelin, Willie Davenport in the hurdles, Tom Farrell in the 800-meter run, Randy Matson in the shot put, Al Oerter and Jay Silvester in the discus, Mel Pender in the 100-meter dash, John Pennel in the pole vault, Ralph Boston in the long jump, marathoner-steeplechaser George Young and walker Ron Laird.
Most of the athletes in the trials spent from four to seven weeks at the 7,377-foot-high Echo Summit training base.
this altitude is good enough for a proper adjustment," said Jordan, "we'll have about two more weeks of altitude training before the games, so we should be all right on that score."
Coach unhappy with practice
Head football coach Pepper Rodgers was not pleased with Tuesday's practice, saying that the "boys looked tired." Thursday's practice will be the last one in preparation for this Saturday's game with the University of Illinois at Champaign.
think about 10 weeks at
When asked if anyone had been "looking good" in practice, Rodgers singled out split-tackle Larry Brown. Brown, a sophomore from Starke, Fla., stands six feet four inches and weighs 212 pounds.
When Rogers was asked about an Illini scout's comment that KU has tremendous team speed, he replied, "All of our little men look fast, but our big ones look slow."
Rodgers said that a starting fullback for the upcoming game had been selected but declined to say who it would be.
