One of Canada's outstanding
high Jumper* tuts enrolled in the
University of Oregon, but won't
tie on (touch Bill Bowerman's
track team next spring.
The reason ? She’s a girl.
Alice Whllty,' holder of the
Canadian women's high jump
record and a participant in taith
the 10.12 Olympics and the 19.14
Hrilish Empire Games, has en
rolled in the University to tram
under Coach Bowerman.
The 20-year-old Miss Whitty
broke the Canadian women’s
mark of 5’3”, which had stood
for many years, at Vancouver,
B.C., last year with a leap of
Third in liFXi
She also finished third in her
event in the British Empire
Carnes at Vancouver last sum
mer with a jump of 5'3’\ Two
years earlier she placed tenth
m the Olympic games at Helsin
ki, Finland.
Miss Whitty decided to come
to Oregon to train with Bower
man in preparation for the 1956
Olympics at Melbourne. Austra
lia, which she intends to enter
“if 1 am good enough."
The dark-haired young ath
lete said that a number of fac
tors Influenced her selection of
Oregon.
Her coach at the University
I of British Columbia, where she
I wan a freshman last year, ad
vis'd h«T to come to Oregon be
i < flUH‘' «f Bowerman’s reputation
iiH a coach and because the phy
j education program here was
i superior to that available at
UBC.
In addition, a number of Ca
nadian atbletea now enrolled here
urged her to transfer. Doug (’le
nient, the half-miler from Van
couver; Bruce Hpringbett, a
Mpnnter from Victoria, B.C., and
Hob Field, a %pole vaulter from
Vancouver, all of whom were on
Bowerman’s track squad laat
spring, suggested the Univer
Hity to her.
Majoring in PE
Mina Whitty i« majoring in
| physical education while she ia
here, and intends to graduate in
Iwo year*, by taking an extra
large study load. Kvcntually she
plana to teach physical education,
and intends to get a teacher's
certificate at UBC after her work
, here is completed.
Bowerman, who admits this is
the first time he has ever coach
'd a woman athlete, says it is a
: "unique experience.” He points
out. however, that as in the case
of any athlete, the ones that are
willing to work become the best.
If this is the only criteria, Miss
Whitty should do a fine job at
Melbourne. She plans to work
| out twice a week for the re
! matnder of the year.
