...performance will certainly rate as one of the top marks of the season. After easily moving ahead of the field in the trials on Friday with a leap of 48 ft. 8 in., the Nigerian star returned on Saturday to pass the celebrated 50 foot line with a ump of 50 ft. 1 in. Ohiri's leap would have easily qualified him for the 1960 United States Olympic trials; as it was, the jump shattered the old IC4A record set by Winston Cooper...

Well aware of the dangers of arguing with the ump, Oklahoma-born Mantle promptly agreed...
