Next Super-miler
Says Bannister
LONDON (AP) Dr. Roger
Bannister, first man to run the
four-minute mile, predicted Tues
day that America's Wes Santee
will become the third man to
Join the super-milers in the near
future.
Bannister’s 3:59.4 mile, run at
Oxford on May 6, 1954, was bet
tered shortly afterward by Aus
tralia's John Landy, who ran
3:58 in Finland.
Santee’s Mark Best
In his acceptance speech after
receiving a trophy from the
Helms Foundation of America.
Bannister said:
‘'Santee, I think, will run a
four-minute mile in the near fu
ture. He has perhaps the great
est record for times of any mid
dle distance runner today, but
has not been getting the stiff
competition which will enable <
him to join Landy and myself. I
think he can do it.”
Lundy Big Rival
Bannister said Landy more
than any other athlete had
taught him what real competi
tion could mean. The slim, sandy
haired doctor defeated Landy at
Vancouver in a mile which saw
both great runners finish under
four minutes.
Bannister said that since his
retirement he found he missed
the atmosphere of sports, but it
w'as a case of the demands of his
profession coming first.
