Irish Mile Nabbed by Ron Delany Beats Ibbotson In Clonliffe Go DUBLIN un-Ireland's Ron De lany who attends Villanova Col lege near Philadelphia gave 15,000 homef olka somethlngto cheer about Tuesday night when be won the mile race in 4:07.5 at the Clon liffe Harriers' International Meet. Two English mllert were sec ond and third la the field of eight., Brian Bewson was second la 4:04.0, and Derek Ibbotson came third in 4:08.5. The crowd in the new Santry Stadium on the outskirts of Dublin went wild and many persons al most mobbed the 23-year-old Irish man who won the 1956 Olympic games 1500 meters championship at Melbourne. "This victory gave me almost as much pleasure as. when I won the Olympic title," Delany said. I know now much it meant to Irish athletics that I won. "I'm not disappointed la the time because as in so many of my races in the States I was only interested In winning. But this time it was even more important." Delany was particularly happy to defeat Ibbotson, who ran the mile last July in London in 3:57.2. In that race Delany's time was 3:58.8. However, international track and field officials did not ratify Ibbotson's mark when they recognized 33 other world marks in January. England's International Cross Country champion, Stan Eldon, led at the start and was timed with laps of 61, 64 and 65 sec onds. After three quarters, Ibbot son moved into the lead, followed by Delany and Hewson, around the final bend. When Delany turned on his big finish, the crowd was yelling with excitement. Hewson tried in vain to turn back the Irishman, and said after finishing runnerup that "he was too strong for me." Immediately after the meet De lany rushed to catch a 2 a.m. plane back for the United States. He is scheduled to run in two races for Villanova on Thursday.

The Australian star, holder of the recognized world record for the distance and now retired, was Interviewed at his family's farm, 126 miles south of Mel bourne, and be posed the ques tion: "Just what it the definition of a paced mile?" . The difficulty, which dates back to 1654 when Roger Ban nister first cracked the four minute barrier and has been pe riodically revived, popped ap again whea Herb Elliott was timed In 1:57.6 In the Coltsenm Relays at Los Angeles last Fri day. The best, time to date, still nnofflcLal, is Derek Ibbotson's J: 57.1 "There will always be trouble over these miles until the fed eration lays dowa a definite rule," Landy added, "but how re they going to arrive at that definition. I don't know. "Don't, please, for one minute, think I'm casting any suspicions boot Ibbotson's or Elliott's times to safeguard my own rec ord. "As far ai I'm concerned I've finished with running and I'm the ex-world record holder. I think Derek's time should and will be recognised. This will make him fatter than any other man, and any time between nay 1:58 and his 1:57.1 will be out. And as for Herb's run last week, from what I could make out I thought he did most of the work the real, hard work, at that. "It seems that if anyone is in front at any time of the race apart from the actual winner it could be said he was paced. It is all right to say a runner should go all out from the start and remain in front, but how many caa do it? "Herb Elliott la a great run ner and will be. even greater, but he could not run In front all the time. Any runner who has to do that would be. Just running himself into the ground." "When Bannister made track history with his 1:56.4 clocking, he had -two admitted pacers in Chris Brasher and Chris Chata way, and although the IAAF 11ft- Tex Winters to Stay at Kansas State MANHATTAN, Kan. in - Tex Winter, Kansas State College bas ketball coach, said Tuesday he had decided not to consider a coaching vacancy at the Univer sity of Iowa. Winter said he was interested in the Iowa job but has decided to stay at K-State. Winter's name was among those reported under'consideration as a successor to the late Frank (Bucky) O'Connor, Iowa coach who was killed recently in an automobile accident. ed aa eyebrow at this situation there was nothing in the book against it The British AAA passed a pac ing rule before the IAAF had a chance to act, and In 1956" the IAAF adopted the same rule, which stated that pacing was to be "considered" In passing on records. It also stated that run ners who receive "apparently" -unfair aid cannot make records. In Elliott's case everyone con cerned denied that Drew Dun lap, a Texas quarter miler, bad been sent into the mile race as a pacemaker. Elliott said he didn't know Dnnlap. In aay event, with a field of 10, includ ing three four-minute rollers, It would seem pointless to send in a "rabbit" RING FEARLESS FEB d3 Ejin!
