Anyone conjecture that maybe Thompson (Oregon) took Andrews out fast and maybe him run a fast time on purpose? Maybe take a little out of him before the final?
Looks like rather Oregon was hoping/planning Greer would qualify by place or more likely time. After the fast first heat,Greer finished third in the second heat- but did not qualify on time. Lananna was not pleased.
According to Ken Goe of the Oregonian..
“I don’t want to talk about the first heat,” Lananna said. “Why our guy rabbited the first heat is beyond me.”
