Hugh McEl henney, Joe Perry and John Henry Chataway Not Picking Miler In Big Race LONDON m Chris Chataway, who has the habit of chasing other runners, to world records, won't pick a winner in the big mile race between Roger Bannister and John Landy in the' British Empire Games at Vancouver, early next month. But he will say that the first two men in the world to run a mile in less than four minutes can run stOl faster. Chataway was one of the "me chanical rabbits" who set the pace for Bannister's 3:59.4 mile at Ox ford, May .6. When Landy cut the record to 3; 58 at Turku, Finland, June 21, Chris 1 was right on his heels. And .only last week when Freddie Green smashed the three- mile record with a 13:32.2 per formance, Chataway was so close behind that he was given the same time. ... When it comes to comparing the two milers, Chataway remains tight - lipped. He will say that Landy has a very relaxed, easy running style. It s impressive .running behind him. He almost seems to be jog ging. Landy has an extremely ef fortless stride, very easy and smooth. He takes fairly short steps therefore one must assume he Is moving his legs very quickly to make such fast time. - "Bannister, on the other hand. runs wim undoubtedly more drive, He pushes off more and has a resultant longer stride. "I don't think Landy knew he was ninning so fast. I suppose be can run faster. So can Bannister. i was surprised Landy had run 3:58 when the race was over. did think, however, that when Bannister ran his 3:59.4 he was just about there when he finished. I knew he was under four min utes." As to the big race in Vancouver: "We must remember conditions were very different at Oxford from Turku. It was an excellent warm day in Finland. It was cold and wet at Oxford. But I couldn't say what the difference Is worth la seconds, i Does Chataway think the mile mark will be brought down much lower? "Maybe an odd second will come off in the next few years. It's, the best of all winning rec ords, remember."
