Other Crimson heroes were Rick DeLone and Sarge Nichols, one-two in the shot put and vice-versa in the discus; Ted Bailey, first in the hammer at 191 ft., in.; and Don Kirkland and Dave Nawi, second and third in the 440 and half of the victorious mile relay team...
...shot put, DeLone came through with a 54 ft., 1/2 in. toss to beat Navy's Mike Berkowitz by slightly more than a foot Bailey took the hammer at 136 ft., 2 in., while Loren Clayman was fifth in the same event...
...Crimson's Jay Mahaney managed to tie for first in the pole vault at 12 ft., and Don Forte was in a fourth-place deadlock. Ted Bailey took the hammer at 186 ft., 6 in., followed by Leigh Callaway in fourth, and Tom Holcomb (186 ft., 4 in.) and Hobie Armstrong went one-two in the javelin...
Rick DeLone was a double winner for the Varsity, capturing the shot at 53 ft., 8 1/4 in, and the discus at 151 ft., 10 1/2 in. Sid Marland, with 22 ft., 2 1/2 in, in the broad jump; Ted Bailey, with 192 ft., 2 in. In the hammer; and Marty Beckwith, with 6 ft., 2 in. in the high jump (tie) also contributed firsts...
Conceived by Albert G. Bodine, a physicist in California, the hammer imparts to the pile longitudinal vibrations with the resonant frequency of the pile. Resonant frequency insures minimum loss of energy, in contrast to the conventional steam hammer process in which most of the driving energy is lost. The pile is driven into the ground as the vibrations cause it to expand and contract at a very high rate of speed. The sonic process takes one minute, as compared to 12-15 minutes for the conventional method...
