description: The world's new decathlon champion is Nationalist China's C. K. Yang who scored a sensational 9,121 points to establish a new record. The 29-year-old co-captain of UCLA Track team, who had already won a silver medal in the 1960 Rome Olympic, was competing in the two-day Mt. San Antonio Relays last month when he accomplished the feat. He will enter one more national title event at Oregon State College campus this month before getting ready for the Olympic in Tokyo next year.
