wlU be very vulnerable Friday
night as athletes from 28 col-
teams as Occidental, Idaho State,
UC Santa Barbara, Cal Poly SLO
and San Diego State.
Probably the best of the col¬
legiate performers is Jerry
Proctor, the freshman from Red-
lands CoUege. As a prspater in
Pasadena last year, Proctor set
a NaUonal Interscholastlc record
of 26-3/4 In the long Jump and

Besides the long Jump, Procter
Is entered In the 100 yard dash,
the 120 high hurdles and the re¬
lays. He has been clocked In
9.4 In the century this year.
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo,
with probably the best core of
sprinters around, will attempt to
break the WCR records In the
440, 880 and two-mile relays.
Led by Cecil Turner at 9.4,
Ruben Smith and Leo DeWlnter
at 9.5 and Jim Edmondson at
9.7, Poly has run a 40.8 In the
quarter-mile relay, and hopes to
better the WCR mark of 41.2
set last year by Idaho State, who
will be on hand to defend Us

speedy Mustangs.

the Relays record of 1:25 flat
set   by   Fresno   State In  1963.
Idaho State Is the class of the
mUe relay coropcUUon with a
3:09.3 clocking, and along with
the UC Santa Barbara quartet,
which has run 3:11 will be out
for the WCR mark of 3:11.5.
Occidental, along with Cal Poly
and San DlegoState, will be shoot¬
ing for Oxy's two-mile relay re¬
cord of 7:37.3 set last year. The
Mustangs already boast a Ume
of 7.37.2.

Three teams, Peppenune,
Long Beach State and San Diego
State, all feel they can break
the existing record of 10:00.3
tor the distance medley relay,
set by San Diego In 1963.
In Individual events, broken
marks should be no exception.
Proctor is odds-on to break the
existing long Jump mark of 24-
10 3/4 set In 1965 by Ralner
Stenlus of Los Angeles State.
Dan Reeves, CCAA long Jump
leader from San Diego State with
a leap of 24-4 and defending

merly of Fresno City CoUege and
now competing for Nevada, will
also set their eyes on the mark.
Rayward State's big Clay Lar¬
son, third last year In shot put
compeUUon, will be out to break
the 60-8 3/4 heave of San Diego
State's Houston Ridge In 1965.
Larson last week threw the 16
pound shot 60-3 1/2.
Jim* Brown of Cal Poly Po¬
mona leads high Jumpers with a
6-9 1/2 leap. He should be no
threat to the WCR record, how¬
ever, as John Rambo of Long
Beach State hit 7-1/4 In 1965.
In the pole vault, defending
champ Andy Steben of Oxy and
John Blomqulst of LA State will
be shooUng for Sam Kirk of Red-

As Team Favorite Back Seat To No One
In J.C. Division
By DENNIS McCALL
The West Coast Relays Is sup¬
posed to be an affair where
records are broken and the Jun¬
ior college division of this week¬
end's extravaganza should be no
excepUon.
The greatest threat to existing
standards Is expected to come In
the relay events where some of
the natton's finest foursomes will
pit speed and precision In an
assault on both records and the
the 42nd annual event.
Defending champion Hancock
College of Santa Maria is a fa¬
vorite to repeat this year with
another strong contingent. Most
likely to unseat the BuUdogs Is
a strong Pasadena J.C. team.
Hancock, loaded with out-of-
staters, Is headed by Its naUonal
record-holding 440-yard relay

Jones, a 9.6 sprinter, paces the
quartet. He teams with David
Brlckner, PedroGraJales and Joe
because heading the field Is Long
Beach's Sam Glpson at 51 1/4,
the best In the nation this year.
Three 24-footera are entered
In the long JumplncludlngMarion
Anderson of Contra Costa (24-
8 3/4), Solano's Robinson (24-
3 1/2) snd San Jose's Harris
(24-3 1/4).
With the excepUon of Ham¬
monds, who Is replaced by Rich
Shaw, the same group Is entered
In the half-mile relay and boasts
a top mark of 1:27 flat.
The half-mller may see a na¬
tional mark with the entry of
City College of San Francisco's
foursome which has stopped the
watches in 1:25.5.
Sacramento City College's
spring medley foursome has
equaled the listed mark of 3:22.8
and in the longer baton-passing
events (two-mile and distance
medley) Pasadena Is undefeated
with 7:44.6 and 10:06.9 clockings.
If Hancock hopes to recapture
the WCR title, lt will have to
gather some points In the running
events since the Bulldogs have
little strength In the field events.
They'll pit much of thelrhopes
