These marks include indoor performances. The day Oerte:r threw 202'6" he had three over 190' with sweats, warming up. Had a new disc and asked to have it weighed and thus cooled off, or he might have done even better, reports Dick Ganslen,. Oerter said he was fresh because studies kept him from practicing as hard as he had been, and his arm had lots of whip. He said he plans to bear down for several more weeks, then ease up a bit and get the snap back in his arm. He lifted weights only twice that week, instead of his usual three times. He says he has just started getting into the groove. His three record throws were made in the prelims, after which officials took the discus to the post office for weighing, and when it finally was returned to Al he wasn't nearly as sharp ••• The Houston post headline the performance uoerter Shatters Shot Put Record" and the Victoria, Tex. , Advocate had it: "Al Oe:rter' s 202-6 Heave Shatters Javelin Record•'. On Shelby's 25'9" at Fayetteville he was out 26'4" but fell back,. Had a 9mph wind, the same as for Hazley's 9,. 3; Ernie says Owens' record will fall the next time he and Bell meet. "I don't know which one of us will get it, but it's going''. Dave Sime said Joe Cheaney, starter at Big Springs, is the best he ever worked under. "We aren't used to good starters in the East. They try to trick you. Sime says he thought he got a better start than Morrow, but that 'Woodhouse beat him. There was a strong crosswind, and Morrow, dejected, felt it hurt his balance while not effecting Sime, who runs more upright, or Woodhouse, who is small. Bobby says he needs overdistance work, lots of work on·starts, and that "it ·will be different at Penn, 1 can tell you that." Morrow apparently staggered a bit just out of the blocks. Texas Relay notes: Cal's , :cwming his first ever 880, was told to run with the pack until the last 220. He cut loose with a 26. 0 final furlong and left the field by 30 yards ••• Hodgson ran 4: 05.1, Villarreal 4: 08. 9 in anchor legs. Southern 46. 2, Dunlap 1: 51. 1 and McNew 3:09 ..5 were other Texas legs ••• Sandoval won the open mile in 4:11. 8 when Villa­ rreal was bumpd on the first turn and sprained an ankle ••• In Texas 3:10,4 it was Patrick 49. 4, Dunlap 48. o, Holt, 47. 7, Southern 45. 3••• Cotten ran 46. 7 and GlennDavis 47 .. 2 for other anchors ••• Maynard Orme, who ran a 220 on Cal's record sprint medley, is a miler, had run only one orevious 220, five years ago in high school.
