Last week's produced three: 8:48.6 for the 3,000-metre steeplechase, by Indiana's Tommy Deckard; 1:59.7 for the 1,000-metre medley relay, by the New York Curb Exchange team; and 6 ft. 9¼ in. for the high jump-only ½ in. lower than the outdoor world's record, held jointly by Negroes Cornelius Johnson and Dave Albritton-by Marquette's Negro Sophomore Edward Burke, handicapped by a slightly twisted knee...
