Tea honors Haefner
Keino, Ryun compete in pro track
In the history of track and
field, there has always been
the challenger, the underdog.
When Roger Bannister was
shattering
every
b arrier,
there was John Landy. When
Ralph Boston surpassed Jesse
Owen's marks, Russia's Igor
Ter-Ovanesyan was right be
hind.
That U9ed to be the situation
facing
Kenya’ s Kip Keino.
While Jim Ryun was setting
records, Keino continued to
make headlines in his own,
consistant way. Even in the
now-famous world record 1500
m eter run by Ryun over Keino
at the Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum in I9t>7, Keino re
mained undaunted. He simply
learned.
When the two met inMexico
City for the 19t>8 Olympic
Games, Keino came out of his
shadow. He set a pace no
man could match in winning
the 1500 in Olympic record
tim e of 3:34.9. That's about
about a 3:52 m ile, comparing
favorably with Ryun's world
record 3:51.1.
Suddenly Keino was the man
of the hour.
He had been
known as an outstanding in
door runner who pleased the
crowds with his all-out efforts
in every race he ran. Now
he was the king outdoors.
He returned to Kenya a
hero, helping catapult that na
tion into prominence as a
track and field power.
He
was the leader, the one who
started it a ll.
The little
policeman had jumped to the
top.
Unlike the Bannister-Landy
duels, however, Ryun won his
share. The two became good
friends off the track, re
specting each other's talents.
Neither dominated the other.
The two had one last chance
in Munich to race and decide
which was superior. But a
So now the Keino-Ryun duel a
w ill have more to offer than
the celebrated showdowns of
the past. The two w ill fight
It out with other challengers,
like Tom Von Ruden, for a
reward that can keep one in
the sport fo r more than a
handful of years.
" I'v e been running for my
country fo r a long tim e,"
says the 33 - year - old
ageless wonder. "Now I run
fo r K ip ."
Keino isn't the
only one who w ill be reward
ed.
Track fans who have
thrilled to the running of Keino
in the past, w ill reap the bene
fits of seeing one of track and
field's most competitive per
form ers run against the man
with the best times.
It ’ s a duel that can't be
missed.
Keino and Ryun w ill com
pete again this Friday, March
30th, a t 8:00 pun. i n the
M e m o r i a l Coliseum, along

In looking

for all over the country, and
were presented to Miss Hael

Everyone was pleased to he
there and to have the op
portunity to tell Kuth how
much of an inspiration she
has been.
Once in a while there is an
occasion that makes every
body happy
the honoree,
the participants and those
attending the affair.
Such
was the recent tea given by
the Portland Branch of the
American Association of Uni
versity Women in honor of
the eightieth year of Mias
Ruth Haefner. The day was
beautiful, the great hall of

Church was just about the
right size, and everyone had
a fine time. There were so
many people meeting each
other for the first time in
years that the affair took on
the aspect of a family re
union. And so it was in a
sense, for all were there to
honor Ruth Haefner lor her
long years of community
involvement, much of it con
cerned with improving race
relations. M iss Haefner w a s
for many years connected
with the Portland Branch of

freak mishap prevented the
"G R EA T RACE" from ever
taking place.
In the firs t heat of the Olym
pic 1500 meters last Septem
ber, Ryun was tripped and
never recovered in time to
catch the fleeting pack. Keino
headed that pack. It was only
a heat and in the finals, Keino
captured the silver medal,
losing to another new challen
ger, Pekka Vasala.
Keino
was not without gold. He prov
ed versatile as well as ta
lented by winning the 3000-
m eter steeplechase.
Immediately
after
the
James, Ryun turned to pro
fessional track. The Inter
national Track Association
(IT A ) caught his imagination.
The excitement of the new
venture didn't elude Keino,
eith er.
The happy Kenyan
ran a few indoor meets In
January, then made his de
cision. Pro track was the fu
ture fo r an athlete like Keino
and, even though he knew his
country would be disappointed
to lose its most celebrated
amateur
athlete,
he felt
the time fo r change had come.

The All-Temperature Shock Absorber,
Sizes for Most American-made Cars,
I t ’s the only shock absorber with a temperature com
pensating device. Ever notice how your car sometimes
rides “ rock hard” in the cold . . . or gives “mushy”
control when it’s hot? T h a t’s because the oil in your
shocks can’t always keep up with the temperature . . .
it gets thick in cold and thin in the heat. But now.
Sears offers a shock absorber that helps give you a
comfortable, steady ride through thick or thin . . .
The SteadyRider. It actually adjusts to maintain your
ride as the temperature changes.
Big savings on sheets.

There’s a temperature - sensi
tive device in the SteadyRider
that helps compensate for the
change in thickness of shock
oil at different temperatures.
So when it's cold, the device
adjusts to allow more fluid
flow; and when it's hot, the
device limits the flow of oil.
The result is a steady suspen
sion control during all tem
perature changes.
