W hen track afficienados see Dyrol Burleson and Krnie
Cunliffe of Stanford in action this week, they will he wit
nessing a top example of the two basic strategies in distance
•running.
AS MUCH LESS is known around here about Cunliffe
we will discuss him first. He is a 5-11. 165 pound senior who
first made his biggest impression on the track world with
his half-mile (880) race, in which he had a top time of 1 :47.3.
Then, Cunliffe started running the mile more seriously in an
attempt to build up his finishing kick, which is noticeably
lacking in his races. As it turned out. he found that he had
the stamina to start out at a blistering pact1 and sustain it
long enough to keep his early lead to the finish. And thus
Cunliffe is a runner who. as will be seen this Saturday, will
jump into an immediate lead and never relinquish it. He
doesn'f'T.ave the finishing kick that is really essential to a
middle distance man so he must hold his opponents off by
building up an early lead.
However, it is just this type of runner who will be Burley's
dish. Burleson is noted for—among other things—his tre
mendous finishing kick. As Cunliffe is the “front runner".
Burly is the type of runner who prefers to follow on the heels
of a pace setter and then jump them in the last 300 yards.
For this type of runner there is an invisible psychological
bond between himself and the man just in front. This bond,
even though mental, is a very existant force which serves to
pull the second man along, and unless the front runner enjoys
his position, the man behind him will worry him. He w ill
always be wondering when he is going to be jumped, and this
will tend to tire him. But. if the front runner can extend his
lead to roughly 30 yards or more over the second man, this
bond will often be broken and it will be unlikely that the
number two man will be able to ever make up that distance
again (for a mile race).
WILL CUNLIFFE he able to put this much distance be
tween himself and Burley? Extremely unlikely. And, though
most of the so-called track experts are putting the odds on
Cunliffe because of his 4:02.3 time compared to a 4:05 for
Burleson, times don't mean a thing when you recall that
Cunliffe likes to run against the clock when Burley just
runs to win.
And, if some fans have any doubts that Burley has the
ability to go below the four minute mark this incident may
di -spell some doubts : A few months ago. in the dead of winter
as cross country was just ending, Burley was asked to try a
little pace work on the stony and irregular practice track.
As it turned out, Burley ran a 2:56 three-quarter mile and in
all likelihood could have easily broken four minutes at that
time, but Bowerman saw no need of pushing him so earlv
in the season. This means he could have run as slow as 64
secondsjor the last lap and still gone under the barrier.
AND SO IT LOOKS LIKE a losing race for Cunliffe this
Saturday. Cunliffe will start out big and then continue to
die—if his speed slackening is not noticeable to the crowd it
certainly will be to Burleson and Larson. And when Burle
son jumps him, don't be surprised if George Larson does
too. For Larson, with a 4 :07 indoor mark may have enough to
out kick him if he can stay with Cunliffe through the diffi
cult third lap.
At any rate, conditions depending, Burleson and Cunliffe
could go below four minutes.
