...track and field have challenged Russia's best in dual meets. Three times, by scores of 126-109, 127-108 and 124-111, the Russian bear has taken a skinning. Still the stubborn Russians come back for more. Fortnight ago at the National A.A.U. championships in Walnut, Calif., more than 400 of them turned out to battle for berths on the U.S. men's squad that tuned up against Poland this week, will go on to meet Russia later this month in Palo Alto...
...DASHES: Villanova's chunky Frank Budd, world-record holder (9.2 sec.) in the 100-yd. dash and undefeated at that distance in two years.

David Tork, 27, who had never before topped 15 ft. 8¼ in., easily cleared 15 ft. 7 in., then asked for the bar to be put up to 16 ft. 2 in. On his second try he sailed over to beat John Uelses' month-old world record...
...Morse was talking, most of his colleagues were attending the grand opening of yet another watering place beneath the Capitol dome: a new, walnut-paneled reception room. Among the guests was the President of the U.S. But Kennedy, warned that Morse was making an issue of such occasions, did not go near the bar, and, after 20 amiable but arid minutes, he left. On his way from the Capitol, he passed the Senate chamber, and ex-Senator Kennedy could not resist an impulse to go inside for a moment. Wayne Morse was inveighing on, but when he spotted the President...
