So "a crappy high school track with cheap bleachers." Cummon! For anyone with a sense of history, Angell Field, much more nearly than Hayward Field, deserves to be called the Carnegie Hall of track. Home of the great Templeton teams, of Eastman's world records in the 440 and 880, of the twilight meets of the 1930s, site of Steers jumping for the Olympic Club when still a junior high school student, of the 1940 world records: Paul Moore in the three-quarters and the mile relay, of Archie Harris' world record in 1941. So much more that can't be catalogued. The refurbishment and revival of Angell Field are among the few positive notes in American track in the four decades that Malmo speaks of. Bill Allen
