Does anyone know of an archive (or book) that gives detailed results and team scores of these events? If not, does anyone have complete information for any one meet; i.e., number of athletes from each country in each event, order of events, and scoring? All I was able to find from a usually-reliable Google search was that the third, Moscow, meeting of 1961 had two athletes per event, scored 5-3-2-1 and the AAU team consisted of 31 men and 17 women. I can't see how you'd cover all of the standard track and field events with a team of that size. Also, from a bio of Payton Jordan, the information that the 1962 meet, held at Stanford, attracted an attendance of 150,000 over two days. I know I attended that one, but my only aged memory of a specific event was that the person singing the Star Spangled Banner forgot the words.
I'd appreciate any further information anyone can provide: I'd think there'd be enough interest to warrant posting it to the list.
Cheers, Roger
