Pardee Injured, May Be Sub-par For Army Meet

Chris Pardee was jumping on a sprained ankle when he took a first place and two seconds in Sunday's Heptagonal track meet. The injury may leave him below peak from for next Saturday's dual meet with Army.

Pardee turned the ankle half an hour before the start of Sunday's meet and didn't even warm up to make sure of his footwork before the broad jump.

But his jump of 23-4 earned him second place. He triple-jumped 47-1, his best of the year, for a second in that event, and he high-jumped 6-11, his second-best jump ever.

Even with the injury, Pardee could win all three events at Army. His high-jumping rival, Karl Kremser, dropped out of West Point last month to enter U.C.L.A., so Pardee hopes to win his specialty early and concentrate on the other two events.

Army's best broad jumpers haven't passed the 22-foot level this year, so it's possible that Pardee could bring off a triple.

The Crimson will probably have to win these three events to have a chance of defeating the Cadets, who won the Heptagonal title.

Pardee joins a long and distinguished injury list on the track team. Hurdler Tony Lynch pulled a muscle in the Heptagonal high hurdles and is a doubtful starter Saturday. Sprinter Wayne Andersen was below from in the Heps, and distance runner Walt Hewlett aggravated a calf injury.
