(AP Wirephoto) Burt Lancaster Exchanges Gat For Javelin and Sweat Shirt Bollywood, Sept. 21 UP) Burt Lancaster has cast aside his (at and his slouch hat for a javelin and a sweat shirt. The former film mobster has gone on a sports jag and is get ting himself the rep of being Hollywood's No. 1 athlete. Lan caster's prowess was hidden under his tough guy roles until a couple of years ago. He did nis old circus act at the gala open ing of Barnum and Bailey Rlngllnc Brothers circus here and amazed the town. Then he defied tradition and performed his own stunts In 'The Flame and the Arrow,' leaping about the scenery like a mountain goat. He went out on an appearance tour and recre ated the stunts to convince the doubting Thomases. Now he Is enacting the famed Indian athlete in "Jim Thorpe, All-American" and doing stuff that would make the average actor a bundle of charlcy horses. "It has opened a whole new facet of my career," Lancaster commented. "Before, I was usu ally the guy whose wife had run out on , him or who got into trouble with the cops or some thing. "I wanted to do the sports scenes myself," he explained. "I think It lends more authenticity to a picture. I had to learn most of the things from scratch, since I never did much track or foot ball as a kid. I played a lot of basketball and baseball, which Is what kids play mostly in New York." Lancaster even delayed the tart of the picture so he could get In shape for the athletics. Former fighter Mushy Callahan got him in shape, USC track eoach Jess Hill taught him track essentials and onetime USC font ball star Mickey McCardle drill ad him in football. "I caught on quicVly," Lan caster admitted. "All they had to do was show me how once and then I could do It. My train ing in gymnastics helped me do that. "I learned the discus, javelin and ahot put easily. The only things I won't do are the high lump and pole vault. I didn't have enough time to practice so I could do them convincingly. "But they will be done very eleverly. The shot will show me running forward, then it will witch to the bar. A figure will be going over it, but he won't be me. It's my double." Thorpe himself has been aid ing Lancaster In getting the right style Into his athletics. The actor also talked to people who knew the great athlete In his prime. One of them was his teacher, who said: "Jim was a great fighter. If he had gone Into the ring, he could have been as successful there as he was in other fields." aaw tfurneil agi.
