By DANNY RICHARDSON
BILL MILLER a McMurry
graduate moved back into the
spotlight Saturday as he claimed
liis fourth consecutive crown in
the broad jump at the Will Rogers
Indoor Track Meet.

leap of 23-1 Vk. Though the leap
is not one of Miller's better ones

ed that he not jump again for
the pit was made up of six inches
of sand over concrete.
BILL MILLER
One observer noted that almost
every jumper fell back at the end
of his jump when his feet plowed
through the band and slid on the
cement floor.
Saturday's meet was Miller's
second of the season. In the
Lubbock Indoor meet a week be-
fore Miller leaped 25-1 Vi to take
second place behind Olympian
and former world record holder
Ralph Boston. Boston won the
event with a flight of 25-7W. On
one jump however Miller scratch-
ed only two inches and posted a
distance of 2G-2W.
Miller has an impressive array
of credits. An All-Ameiican last
year he is the first and only
Texan to jump over 2G feet a feat
he accomplished twice last year.
Miller was the national cham-
pion bioad-jumper last year as he
won the NAIA title with a jump
of 2(i-2:li He also plated second
in NCAA national competition

with the longest jump of his
career 2G-4V4. He held the
Triple-Crown in the broad jump
in 1962 and nearly repeated the
honor in 19G3 losing narrowly to
Charlie Mays.
Now a teacher at Jefferson
Junior High School Miller has
set his sights on the 1964 Olym-
pics at Tokyo.
Though Miller is best known
for his jumping he is also an
excellent sprinter with a legiti-
mate 9.5 second clocking in the
100 yard dash and a time of 9.3
seconds with the wind at his back.
Though Miller is small for a
broad jumper (5-11 160 pounds)
he is a very rugged competitor.
ANOTHER INDIAN Preston
Vice continued his grip on the
city scoring race despite a 52
point assault by Hardin-Simmons'
Nat Madkins and a 38 point game
by ACC's Jim Reynolds.
