Lowest in the Majors. That kind of pitching should make McDowell the sensation of the young season. But he had to share the spotlight last week with San Francisco's Willie Mays-who hit the 512th home run of his career, thereby breaking Mel Ott's 19-year-old National League record-and with his own Cleveland teammates.

Pardee will also enter the broad jump, in which Navy's Tom Palkie is a favorite, and the triple jump, in which Princeton's Mel Branch holds a slight edge. Both fields are remarkably even. No one has reached 24 feet in the broad jump or 47 feet in the triple jump...
