Track Every four years the stakes are higher. In an Olympic year the quality of performances, and of competition, accelerates tremendously as it does in no other single year. California has four men who have shown they have the potential to be in Tokyo this October representing the United States. These are high jumpers Gene Johnson and Roger Olsen, sprinter Forrest Beaty and quartermiler Dave Archibald. Johnson has jumped and is the NAAU champion. Olsen has cleared 6 ' 11 and has a fine record in major meets. Beaty, the national high school 100 and 220 record holder, is rounding into shape with several 9.6 ' s in recent weeks. Archibald, as a ran on the victorious American 1600-meter relay team against Russia. Several other Bears have been well and should make this a very bright season for California. Notable among these are sprinters Bob Brinkworth and Jim Blakney, halfmiler Marty Ziebarth, distancemen John Hatton and George Linn, hurdler Ron Gould, tripple jumper Bruce Ballmer, and weightmen Roger Foster and Don Schmidt. Last year California placed eleventh in the NCAA championships. Midway through the current season they have already beaten Occidental, the ninth place finisher, and Washington, who finished tenth.
