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.
Practice starts Nov. 1.
