Bob Beamon Performing in Long Jump
(Original Caption) 1/27/68-Oakland, California: Bob Beamon of the Univ. of Texas strains every muscle as he sails through the air toward a meet record leap of 26'10" in the long jump during the Athens invitational Track Meet at the Oakland Coliseum 1/26. Beamon, who holds the indoor record of 27-1, took Ralph Boston's measure in the event for the third time this season, beating the co-world outdoor record holder by 7-3/4 inches.
