A chill night thins the crowd at Compton track meet in Los Angeles. But a sizzling performance by Ron Clarke warms the 12,000 on hand who saw Clarke set a new mark in the 5,000 meter test. He broke his own three-mile mark on the way. In the mile - it's a spine-tingling finish as Peter Snell and Jim Grelle battle to the wire. It's so close they are both timed in at 3:56:4....but Snell gets the winners nod. Los Angeles, California Throngs fill up the stadium in spite of the fact it is a very chili night. High Angle Shot - Ron Clarke running the 500 meter race. High Angle Shot - Peter Snell takes the lead in the mile run. Peter Snell takes the race by the thickness of his shirt. CU - Peter Snell and Grelle.
