The meet was won by the University of Southern California with 62¾ points, ,the highest ·' total in t_hc meet's history, and the mighty Trojans took permanent possession of the fourth championship cup, established in 1914. It was the longest period tho.t c.ny cup had been in •.. . . competition, Stanford Jiilished s~cond with 33 points and Yale scored 24½ for third. California and Harvard tied for fourth with 12 points each. 1 There was lit .tle doubt that the most ex9itj.ng eveµt ' in the entire meet .was the 440-yard . run: Not even the Hollywood scriptwriters could have provided a more dramatic background for a race, Two quarter-milers, one a world recoJ,"d holde:,: and the other an untried individual runner but a magnificent relay racer, were to. meet for -the first time. One was from the \ West and the other from the East. It seemt-'Clas if the entire country was divided as to who I C J would triumph. , , 1 The -~est Coast star was _Benjamin Bangs Eastman of Stanford, a smooth-striding, lqng-leggcd 6-foot blond who tan like an antelope, Batman's style was to go altout fn~m the gun with ri blistering pace designed to "killwthc sprint finishes of his rivals. No one had been able to stay with Eastman's blazing pace nnd still have enough left to beat him. In March on his home track, Eastman had startled the track world by r'tmning the 440 in 46~4 which , broke the world record by_a full second. Not even the timers could ' believe their own watches. The Wc~t had a right to feel that Eastman was practicaUy unbeatable. Tho~e from the East felt that William Arthur Carr ·of the {Jniversity of. Pennsylvania would offer the strongest challenge that Eastman had yet faced. Although Eastman was the favorite, Carr was considered by many to have a good ,chanceof beating the Stanford star. Carr was considerably shorter than Eastman and ran with a machine-like smoothness which made it s~em like he was hardly trying. Hiseffortless stride was much shorter than East- .~ man's / As anchor m_an on thcJamecj. Pennsylvania relay teain which set an .American in.door ' record of 3: 17. 8 in 1931, Cc!rr was known to have a ·very strong finish. , , In the 11(,!ats,Eastman won the first one easily in 48. 5, Edgar .Ablowich of Southern California was the second heat winner and Carr won the third heat by liO yards in 47. 7. Then . came the final, There were nine starters. The race would be run out ,of the .chute around -one turn. :Eastman drew the pole with Carr in lane six. The start was made in a ·stillness which was almost painful. But when the gun sounded the crowd of 161 000 .let out a mighty roar. Both Eastman a11:dCarr, evidently highly keyed, came down the straightaway with terrific \ speed. The tall Californiart was clearly ahead and at the turn led Carr by about two feet.· \ Aroun~ the turn th~y struggled and Carr began to slowly cut into Eastman 1s lead. When they straightened out' for the long pu~l home, C'arr sww1g wide and beganrto draw ahead. He held his form right thro .µgh the tape and .beat Eastman by about seven feet in 47. O. Karl Warner of Yale was third. ·the crowd _was stunned and sil~nt at the end of the rac~. An ;imazing 1thing had happenE!d, Eastrrian . had been beaten, When the announcement of Carr's meet record came, the crowd applauded, .more from good sportsmanship than from enthusiasm, It was "a . dramatic finish to one of track's 'most dramatic races, . ; i Eastman's marvelous ability was clearly demonstrated when he returned .to the track an hour later for the filial of the 880 in which he had easilyqunHfied, .He ran his own face from start of.finish without any serious competition~ He set his usual scorching pace through" out the _first lap and opened up a good lead over Norwood Hallowell of Harvard, who was 10 yards ahead of.Edwin Turner of Michigan. Hallowell, who had run th€),mile earlier, was passed py Turner during the last lap but Eastman still controlled the race. · He put everything he had into the punishing homestretch drive to the tape and he won by 10 yards in 1:51. 9, The time was an American reco+d and was only three-tenths of a .second off the world record. · · 100, Wykoff (USC) 9. 9; 2.

Los Angeles sportswriter Maxwell Stiles thinks this year's Trojan team might get the nod but colleague Harley Tinkham thinks the 1936 was better. Here are Tinkham 's -reasons: · Recently our esteemed colleague, Maxwell Stiles, speculated that this year's Trojan spikers could prove to be the best dual meet team in SC 's illustrious history. Max pointed out that it's difficult to compare teams, because advances in training and technique have made the marks so much better _today, However, strictly on the basis ·of accomplishment, Dean Cromwell's 1936 powerhouse surely must rate as SC 's, or any school's, all-time greatesL , This team scored a record 103 1/3 points in the NCAA; sent eight men to the Olympic Games; produced Olympic fhampions in Earle Meadows (pole vault), Ken Carpenter (discus) and Foy Draper (400-meter relay) and set world records in the 440 and mile relays, high hurdles (Roy Staley) and discus (Carpenter). . · · , Other Olympic point winners were Delos Thurber, third in the high jump; Bill Sefton, fourth in the polo vault, and Al Fitch, a mernber of the second place 1600-meter relay team. '' Another potential point-winner, HJ.rold Smallwocrl, was stricken with appendicitis just before the Games and didn't compete. In the National AAU 400 meters earlier that year Smallwood defeated California's Archie Williams, who went on to capture the Olympic title. Strictly on the basis of best mar ks, the 1961 Trojans . would defeat the '36 crew. But if you took their marks in context (comparing them to <:;xisting world records), you 'ct have to rate the 136 team tops. For instance, Staley (14. 1) broke the -accepted world record in the high hurdles with teammate Phil Cope (14. 2) equaled it. Thus, they would figure 1-2 ahead of Troy's Bob Pierce (13. 9) whose best is seven-tenths off the wodd record. Likewise, Mea dows and Sefton, c·o-NCAA pole v-e-ultchamps who in 1937 tied for a world recorq of 14'11'': "would rate ahead ' of Jim Brewer, even though the l,atter has a better mark of 15 '2~·". Other 1936 winners, in our dope sheet, would be Draper -(9. 6 and 20. 8) in both sprints; Ross Bush (1: 50~ 7 in '37) in the 880; Willie Lantz (6th .in NCAA 5,000 meters) in the two mile; Thurber (6 1 7½") in the hign jump; Carpenter (174'1¾") in the discus, and George Boone (24'10") in the broad jump, The only events def.initely going to the '61 club would be the shot put with Dallas Long (64'6½'') and the low hurdles with Rex Cawley (22. 5), Cawley (46. 2) also might rate an edge in the 440. The mile and javelin would be up for grabs •. Vie have the '36 team clinching the meet before the relay> and they could win that, too, .as they set a world record \ J of- 3: 11. 6.
