1964: Fred Hansen of Cuero, Tex., won the gold medal in the pole vault at the Tokyo Olympics, defeating Wolfgang Reinhardt of Germany with an Olympic record of 16 feet 83/4 inches. Hansen used one of the new slingshot fiberglass Sky Poles that had recently transformed vaulting. Within the previous two years, John Uelses and John Pennel, both of the United States, had broken the forbidding 16- and 17-foot barriers with fiberglass.

EARLHAM COLLEGE SPORTS:

1989: Shortly before the start of Game 3 of the World Series at San Francisco, a devastating earthquake rippled through Candlestick Park. More than 200 people were killed in the Bay Area, though none at the stadium, which sustained minor structural damage. The Series, an afterthought when the Oakland A’s swept the Giants, was interrupted for 10 days.

1994: Joe Montana, the great San Francisco 49ers quarterback now with the Kansas City Chiefs, staged a theatrical last hurrah in his final season, marching 75 yards in 81 seconds to defeat John Elway and the Denver Broncos, 31-28, at Mile High Stadium in a memorable Monday night game. Montana retired the following April.
