...Sebring has never been considered a particularly dangerous course. Nobody had been killed there in seven years-until last week. On the fourth lap, Robert McLean, a Ford dealer from Vancouver, B.C., was gearing down for the hairpin when his Canadian-owned Ford GT 40 careened into a phone pole and burst into flames. McLean died in the fire, but worse was to come. On the 200th lap, Pennsylvania's Mario Andretti tried to downshift his non-factory Ferrari from fourth to third, slammed the lever into first instead. The Ferrari spun, slewed into a speeding Porsche, and drove...
...Pomp & Pole-Axes. Interrogation and trial were cruel and cursory. The accused was haled before a bishop for a hearing at which little was heard, as a rule, but the bellowing of the bishop.

Last year's team couldn't boast a single 14-ft., plus pole vaulter, but this year's squad boasts two, Junior Dave Bell hit 14-ft. in the Heps, while Schoonover cleared 14 ft., 4 in. Sprinter Wayne Anderson has run the 60-yard dash...
...five months Pole Vaulter John Pennel, 25, has traveled-from São Paulo, Brazil, to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, to Los Angeles, to Boston, to Baltimore-all with the notion of be coming the first man ever to vault 17 ft. indoors. Along the way he competed in 16 meets, won his event in 13 of them, set two new world records (16 ft. 9½-in. and 16 ft. 10 in.). In Boston, he soared cleanly over the bar at 17 ft. i in., only to dislodge it with his arm on the way down. In Los Angeles, he cleared...
