Track star Eastman poised for Olympic 800m spot
New York July 7 Eastman’s record-breaking track feats this year may earn him a U S Olympic berth for the 800 meters without final team trials at Palo Alto July 15 16. Committee chair Joseph England and coach Lawson Robertson favor exceptions so he can pursue both 800 and 400 meter titles in Los Angeles. Stanford coach Robert Templeton had said Eastman would run only the 400 trials and he was edged by Bill Carr of Pennsylvania in the intercollegiates last week.
