Harvard-Yale Defeat Britons, 11-5; Shaw, Hardin Break Crimson Records

Freshman Roy Shaw chopped three seconds off the Harvard mile record, as the Harvard-Yale track team romped over Oxford-Cambridge, 11-5, in London yesterday.

Roy, whose previous best time in the mile had been 4:07, ran it in 4:03 -- a meet and Harvard record. After the first lap, Shaw was in third place in 59.5 seconds; at the half, he was in second place (2.00.7), but still trailed the leader by five yards; he cut the lead to a step at the end of the third lap (3:03.7); then he took the lead at the first turn of the last lap and dashed it in 59.3 seconds, defeating Yale's Steve Bittner by 3.8 seconds. It was the outstanding effort of the day.

In all, four performers set meet records. Harvard captain Wayne Andersen, the only defending champion in the meet, defeated Mike Hauck of Oxford (formerly of Harvard) in a 9.7 100-yard dash. It tied both the meet record and the Harvard mark, which Andersen has matched on two other occasions.

Yale's Cal Hill, the only double winner, set a new meet and Eli mark in the triple jump at 56 ft. 1 1/2 in. In the broad jump, he leaped 24-83/4--not his greatest jump by any means, but good enough to win yesterday by a foot and a half.

The fourth meet record was set by Fergus Murray of Oxford, who loped the the two mile in 8:44. Harvard's Doug Hardin placed third, and his 8:48 time till set a Harvard record.

Other Harvard winners were Keith Colburn, who captured the 880-yard run in 1:51.6; Frank Haggerty, victor in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles in 53.0; Henry Bernson, who heaved the javelin 211.11; and Steve Schoonover, whose disappointing 14 ft. win in the pole vault was reminiscent of the good old days of Harvard pole-vaulting before he arrived.

The meet was scored solely on the basis of first places, and Harvard had six of them. Yale and Oxford each had five, and Cambridge could tally nary a one. Two of the Oxford first places were scored by former Harvard trackmen: Chris Pardee in the high jump and Hauck in the 220-yard dash.

Two events, the hammer and the mile relay, were cancelled.
