LOS ANGELES -- One of the most colorful records in football,
that held by Jack Elder, Notre Dame star, goes into the discard when
Frank Wykoff of the University of Southern California, world
champion sprinter, reels off the century (100 yd dash) in 9-5/10
seconds with full football equipment.
Elder's record was 11-1/6 seconds in the unusual 'unofficial event.' Wykoff undertook the speed
trial to settle a bet with fraternity brothers. |
