Dy Chuck Mitchelmore uwmmammmmm*—**n*^*am■i Emoruld Sports Editor wmmm Jim Hailey has a problem. Someone told a major Austra lian new 'paper that Oregon s ace distance import isn’t going to he home to run in the 1050 Olympic: g*mcs when they come to Melbourne next year. The informant told the press that the Games will be run at the same time Oregon is in the middle of its fall term so naturally Jim will be attending classes when the world s top amateurs converge on his home country for the tops in international track and field competition. Hailey problem is that the informant is partly right; fall term classes at the University next year will conflict with Olympics, but Jim hasn’t quite made up his mind what to do about it. The Olympics . . . Probably Right now it looks like the light-footed NCAA mile cham pion will be there when they start giving first call for the 15fto meter run, but Australia is home and it's also a long " a> front Oregon, so the question might more accurately be, will Hailey he back for track in 1957? This seems to be the one that’s bothering Jim now. He’s not too upset at the prospect of losing a term to participate in the Olympics at home, although he would like to get through in about six more terms. “Whether I attain that supreme and dizzy height of a degree or not is another question.’’ Main runners and field performers have had to forfeit a term s school work for the privilege of competing for his country in one or more of the international games. Oregon Again ... Maybe A- far as Jims return to America and Oregon following the games is concerned, the problem is not too serious vet. Despite Hailey's wandering academic status (he came last fall as a sophomore in geology, transferred to journalism and is now in business—“I always was good in mathemat ics.”), the speedy Australian humorist likes the Oregon campus, students and coaching staff. In the many interviews and intimate looks into Bailey’s life published after his arrival last year, we still never found a satisfactory explanation for his seemingly random choice of Oregon. Jim himself says that friends in Canada, the reputation of the W’ebfoots’ track tutor Hill Howerman and the presence of a national champion in Hill Dellinger had a lot to do with it. lie liked the campus, too, although he had nothing to compare it with except his own University of Sydney, “a sooty bunch of Gothic buildings where you don’t raise your voice unless you've got a string of letters behind it." King of the Trash ... Hmm The clincher, it appears, came from the advice of fellow Australian runners in mid-western and eastern schools (like Kevan Gosper, national 440 champion from Michigan State) who advised him. “if you want to he trash of the kings, come hack east; but if ><>• want to be king of the trash, go out west.” Bailey came west and, by the record, hasn’t done too badly for just sitting on t<Jp of a trash pile. His 4:05.6 mile in winning the NCAA is second only to John Landy’s sensational times for Australian runners, and his 1 :51 half mile for the first at the PCC-Big Ten last summer is the fastest ever run by a man from down under. • “But I’m getting tired of running now,” said Bailey as he sketched a map of Australia on a scratch pad, “not tired of racing, but tired of working. I’ve been running seriously since 1946—that’s nine seasons—and that’s old for a runner, but I'll probably be going a while longer; I’ll run for sure as long as I’m at Oregon.” Bounding Baylor Back At College of Idaho CALDWELL, Idaho <AF) The question of where Elgin Bay lor will play basketball this sea son seemed to be settled Tues day. Leonard Yandle, athletic direc tor and head basketball coach at College of Idaho, said the eager had registered at the college Tuesday morning and attended his first classes. Recent rumors had Baylor, who scored 825 points in 26 games last season for the Coy otes, matting; eyes at the Seattle University campus this year. Landle said Baylor, leading scorer in the Northwest last sea son, is taller this year. ‘‘He's grown about an inch and put on a little weight — making him about 6-feet 7-inches tall and around 226 pounds,” Yandle said. ‘‘I have never seen him play, but they tell me he’s a pretty fair basketball player,” Yandle added.
