52nd Annual Millrose Games. At New York's Madison Square Garden, the Millrose meet brings multiple upsets. In the exciting track and field competition Paul Winder tops Olympic dash champion Bobby Morrow in the 60 yard event. Don (Tarzan) Bragg pole-vaults to a new indoor mark, 15-6 1/2, for a Garden record. And in another first, Boston University's 17-year-old freshman, sensational John Thomas, clears high jump bar at seven feet, setting world record for indoor mark. Athletes shown include Caucasian and African American men. Some slow-motion high jumps. Thomas (?) celebrates, receives handshakes and congratulations. The thrill of victory.
