The Los Angeles Times Indoor Games attracts entries from throughout the world. In the pole vault, UCLA's Dick Railsback finishes second but is injured. Champion Bob Seagren clears seventeen feet, three inches, a world record height, but it's voided when his pole goes under the bar. Indoor track, an athlete in the center ring throws a shot put. Sport fans sit in the bleachers above watching the competitions. Dick Railsback runs with his pole aiming to master the high jump. He attempts to clear 17 feet on his jump but injures his back finishing second. Bob Seagren runs and clears a jump of 17 feet 3 inches. But his jump is nullified because his pole bent during the jump going under the bar. Seagren stands off to the side looking angry waving his arms.
