Their inspired performance was only sur- passed by their supreme team effort, which was masterfully guided by coach George Eastment and coach Irv Kintisch. In scoring in ten events the squad captured two gold medals, registered three second places, scored twice in third position and also twice in fourth and fifth. The scoring went as follows: Len Moore took first in the broad jump; Ken Bantum was first in the shot put with a flip of 55 feet 6 inches. The second places were recorded by Lou Knight in the high hurdles, in :07.3; Willie St. Clair in the 1000 yard run in his fastest time; Bob Sbarra in the two mile run which was felt by many to be the clincher as the tall slender senior edged Breckenridge to the tap for the valuable point spread. The men who scored three points for Manhattan by finishing third in the meet were: Tom Murphy in the 600 yard run and Josh Doulin in the mile, which was his fastest time. The three way tie for third place in the high iump by Dick Shipley added two points to the Jasper score as the judges divided the points equally between all tying finishers. Captain Bob English was a fourth place finisher in the 600 yard run and the two mile relay of Joe Cawley, Joe Soprano, Ted Muellers and Ed McLaughlin took the other fourth place. The fifth place finishers cannot be overlooked as the two one point finishers by Ken Bantum in the hurdles and the mile relay of Denis Burbridge, Jerry Ryan, Len Moore and Dick Simmons provided the margin of victory.
