...Oregon's Dyrol Burleson: a one-step victory over Loyola of Chicago's Tom O'Hara in the mile run at the Compton, Calif., Relays. Burleson was clocked in 3 min. 57.4 sec., and the next seven finishers all cracked 4 min. too. Wichita's Jim Ryun, 17, came in eighth at 3 min. 59 sec.-fastest time ever recorded by a high school miler...

The Tigers haven't changed much, but they always had their share of Yalnkee meat in the past...
