Oriental Star Accounts For Three Triumphs Akron Beacon Journal 5 Saturday, May 13, 1967 er Victory Made Ji aylor lily The Oriental quintet Dave Richards, Don Chambers, Larry Sommerville and England was timed in 3:28. l's foursome Bill Glenn, Woodrow Nash, Terry Taylor and Richard Taylor was clocked in 3:28.5. Canton 13-3 to equal the standard set by Canton i 's Emil Jaroszyk in 1964. BUT THE meet was strictly an Oriental affair as East qualified eight individuals and both relay teams for next Saturday's Regional meet at Worthington. In all, Dick Sapronetti's talented bunch scored in 11 of 14 events.

But it was their win in the mile relay which put the frosting on the cake. In their duel meet three weeks ago, Buchtel had claimed a narrow victory when Reggie England's bid to catch Buchtel's Richard Taylor fell a stride short. But last night Taylor, the District 440 champion, was un-able to withstand England's charge. The East anchorman caught Taylor on the back-stretch and won by about four yards. McKinley was a distant third in the "fast" heat at 3:32.2.

Chambers and Richards teamed up with Harvey Drone and Dewey Taylor to capture the 880-relay in 1:32.3 from fast-closing Garfield.

Ross was hampered by a pulled leg muscle and showed it when he led off Buchtel's 880-relay team. Without a healthy Ross to push him, Dewey Taylor wasn't extended in winning the 100 in 10.2 and the 220 in 22.6. Canton McKinley's ballyhooed sopho- more, Walt Henderson, ran sec- ond to Taylor in both events.

Hower's Paul Broaddus was disqualified in the mile run af- ter an apparent win. Judges ruled that Broaddus had inter- -j ferred with another runner and the victory went to Canton Lin- coin's David Wottle in 4:26.3. Broaddus ran third to Mc-K i 1 's Ron Singleton and Firestone's Lee Sternberg in the half-mile. BUCHTEL'S only victory was scored by Ron Duckworth who got off a 21-9 effort in the long jump on his lirst try. Nei- ther he nor anyone else in the field could better that jump.

Steve Stacy of Stow leaped out of the pack to win the high jump at 6-2. Five other high jumpers Chamberlain's Emmet Golden, Hower's Benjamin Rice, 1 's Floyd Lee, Firestone's Harold Darkow and Sommerville all cleared six feet. Sapronetti, who is getting to be an old hand at lugging home the championship trophy, wast- ed no time in pointing his team toward the exits as the meet ended. "I was worried. You just don't know how things are going to go at these big meets," he said, "but I'm satisfied.

Just about everything went the way we hoped."

Canton Central Catholic hurdler Lynn Dalsky captured both of his events but it was Canton Glenwood's Dan Dierdorf who turned in the most impressive "double" as he spun the discus 156-8 and then unleashed a brilliant 60-8 effort in the shot put.

BY SHUTTING out the New York Yankees Friday night, Palmer gained only an almost-distinction he almost became the first Baltimore hurler to pitch a winning no-hitter year.

As it turned out, the 21-year-old righthander came within one pitch of attaining a perfect game, allowing only Horace Clarke to reach base on a leadoff single in the seventh inning as the Orioles annihilated the Yankees, 14-0, and ended a six-game losing streak. Even with the one hit, Palmer's performance was much stronger than Steve Barber's when that Oriole hurler combined with Stu Miller to pitch a no-hitter against Detroit April counted for the other with a homer.

Hard-working Azcue, who sweats out 400 pounds a year and eats 410 pounds, said "I am fighting to concentrate behind the plate for nine innings.
