Harvard Romps in Crew, Track, Tennis

NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 15-It was like watching the Boston Celtics play the 12-and-under champions of the paraplegic league.

The Crimson trackmen, winning 8 of 18 events, ran up an amazing total of 83 points in the Heptagonal Championships here today, leaving the opposing nine squads strewn far, far behind.

Only in the war years, when perennial powers Harvard and Yale did not compete, has a winner scored more points in the 31-year-old meet.

High jumper Chris Pardee and Sophomore sprinter Mike Hauch garnered Heptagonal records for the Crimson. Pardee, still sporting a bandaged ankle, cleared 6 ft., 8 in, for the first time this spring. That was enough for the victory, but the lanky junior flew an inch higher to set the new standard.

Hauck, an Englishman from Harrow, nosed out Wayne Andersen in the 220, reversing a narrow defeat to his teammate in the Yale meet here a week ago. Hauck built up a solid lead around the curve and held on in the stretch, snapping the tape in 0:22.1, 0:00.3 faster than the record set last year.

Andersen collected first place laurels in the 100, posting a 0:99 clocking against a 10-mph wind. Aggrey Awori finished fourth.

Awori scored a second in the high hurdies and a first in the broad jump to end the day with 12 points.

Against a broad-jump field thinned by injuries, Awori managed to win with a 22 ft., 9 1/2 in leap, Harvey Thomas jumped 22 ft., in, to take third place.

Awori tralled teammate Tony Lynch across the finish line in the high hurdles.

Thomas shut out favored Courtland Gray of Navy in the trials to make an easy one-two finish and fashioned a fifth place of his own in the finals. Lynch's winning time was 0:14.6

Biggest Upset

Earlier in the day Gray registered the meet's biggest upset when his stretch run caught Lynch at the tape in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles. Gray's 0:51.8 clocking set a meet record.

Walt Hewlett breezed in the two-mills, taking the lead after the third lap and lengthening it steadily the rest of the way. He hit the tape in 9:12.3, a long six seconds ahead of Army's Jim Warner, Winner in the mile.

John Bakkensen got the Crimson's other individuals win with his first place in the discus. His winning throw of 177 ft., 8 in was a scant 3 1/4 in. off the Heptagonal record.

The Crimson mile relay quartet of Lynch, John Parker, Keith Chiappa, and Sam Robinson recorded Harvard's eighth and final victory with a 3:16 clocking.
