By BILL DUNBAR -ANGELL- FIELD, STAN fOilD, June 6 Six new meet record! were established and one itadium mark tied here today in the annual Pacific Association AAU track and field championihipi. Alto, San Joie Statt'l Ray Norton won the 100 and 220-yard daihea and Chuck Cobb of the Olympic Pub captured the high, and low hurdlea while bucking stiff breezes. Norton's 20,7 triumph in the 221 tied the stadium mark set back In 1927 by Jack Weier hanser of Stanford. lie was clocked In while running artinst a 7 -mile per hoar wind la the 100. Cobb was a 10th of a second off the meet records in both hurdle races with a 14.3 victory in the highs and a 23.9 decision In the lows.

Another smashing victory was turned in by Miramonte high school star Dixon Farm er, who raced to a new meet record In the 440-yard hurdles. His clocking of 93.3 cracked the record of 94.9 which Lou Falazar of Pleasant Hills Track and Field Club set last year. Farmer also came; in third in the low hurdles in 23.8. These races came on top of aa impressive showing at the Invitational last night, when he finished second jn the '400-meter hurdles and went unplaced in a lowthurdle field; Other highlights of the meet, witnessed 'by some L506 fans, Included: A 60-14 shot-put heave by Bill Nieder of the Olympic Club, which cracked the meet record of 5544 which was set by California's Charlie Butt in 1956; Errol Williams high jump of This leap by the San Jose student bettered the old record of 6-8 which was shared by Vern Wilson, Bill Russell and Herman Wyatt; Shattering of the oldest rec erd. in the P.

An Interesting sidelight of the first race was the fact the Corvettes thst were sup posed to have alowed up the race, and gotten under foot, actually didn't do either. Aa a matter of fact they turned in a top flight performance, with Bob Bondurant of South-era California placing third overall Today were' the qualifying trials for post position tomorrow. Six rsces, all for championship points, will be run, the first one starting at 11:00 a.m. If you knew whether the Huffaker Special would stand up through another grueling grind tomorrow whether Kunstle's Lotus would hold together for 45 minutes of all-out performance whether Sam Weisa's Porsche can out-maneuver all those other hot hunks of machinery then' you could probably write the results of tomorrows big scene at Laguna Seca right now.
