John Landy Speeds Plans For Journey Melbourne, Australia dJ.R) John Landy, determined to be come the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes in the United States, prepared to ask the Australian AAU to allow him to fly to America more than a week before his scheduled May 5 race at Los Angeles. Landy, the 3:58 world record holder who has cracked the four minute barrier four times, be gan speeding up his plans as soon as the rhubarb started by his acceptance of two U.S. invi tations was settled. The fastest mile ever run in the U.S. is Wes Santee's 4:00.5 at the 1955 Texas relays. "It appears now the trip is finally settled," Landy said. "I wouldn't have gone if there had been the slightest suggestion that my amateur status may have been endangered." Landy, who had threatened to withdraw from the trip when re ports from America said he might endanger his amateur sta tus by making it, originally planned to arrive in California May 1. Landy's acceptance of invita tions to run in an open mile during the UCLA-Southern Cal ifornia dual meet at Los Angeles May 5 and in the West Coast re lays as Fresno, Calif., May 12, had touched off an international sports mixup.

Julius Bores Takes Place Beside Golfing Immortals On a hot steamy Saturday in June of 1952, Julius Boros, the son of Hungarian immigrants, took his place beside such golf immortals as Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen as he won the coveted National open champ ionship of the United States. This victory at the Northwood Country club in. Dallas, Texas, convinced golfing fans that the solidly built Boros was on his way as a great golfer. In the slightly more than three years since that muggy June 14, Jules has risen to the heights. In those four golfing years, he has twice won the official pro fessional Golfers association money winning title and also has been named "Golfer of the Year" by the PGA. Links fans of southern Oregon will have an opportunity to see Boros in action on Thursday, May 3. He will appear in a clinic and exhibition at Rogue Valley Country club. George S. May Co. and Jackson County Cham ber of Commerce are sponsors. Financial Success The taciturn Boros has also turned golf into a financial suc cess. In 1952, '53, '54 and '55, he has earned more than $122, 000 in official winnings plus quite a few more dollars in var ious other capacities including his position as a leading member of the Wilson Sporting Goods Co. golf advisory staff. Only a few skeptics called Boros' victory in 1952 a fluke. Seasoned tournament players and members of the fourth estate had predicted stardom for the former accountant who found he could make more money add ing pars and birdies than month ly financial statements. Boros turned professional in December of 1949 after a spark ling amateur career that saw him lead all qualifiers in the Nation al Amateur trials in '49. He finished consistently in the money during 1950 and 1951 in cluding a ninth place finish in the '50 Open and a tie for fourth in '51. Reign of Julius , This set the stage for 1952 which will be remembered in the annals of American golf as the reign of Julius I. After winning the Open, he defeated Cary Middlecoff in a thrill-packed play-off for the $25,000 top prize in the World Championship at Tarn O'Shant er. Thus, the steady-swinging Boros became top money win ner of the year with $37,033 and also was named golfer of the year. During 1953 and 1954, the stolid Boros continued his raid on golf tournament treasuries. He won the rich Ardmore (Okla.) open and also the Manakiki open in Cleveland during 1954 before breaking his leg in a fishing ac cident. The broken bone kept Jules sidelined during the latter part of the 1954 golfing season and consequently he finished seventh among the leading money win ners with $16,987.50. He made his comeback in the Miami (Fla.) and Havana (Cuba) opens during December of '54, and finished in the money during both tournaments. Boros continued his comeback by tying for second in the Bing Oregon Tips Pioneer Nine Portland U.P.) Oregon scored four runs in the ninth in ning here Friday to defeat Lewis & Clark, 6-4, in a pre-season baseball game. The Pioneers were ahead 4-2 going Into the last half of the ninth and pitcher Dick Fiske had one Webfoot batter out when he fell apart. He faced 10 batters before his ordeal on the mound was ended. Oswego 0J.R) University of Portland's golf team defeated Oregon State, 13-5, here Friday. Bruce Cudd and Vince Alten hofen of Portland were comedal ists with four-under-par 64s. DeWayne Kirk Elected Golf Association Head ' Portland (U.R) DeWayne Kirk of Portland was elected president of the newly-organized Oregon Junior-Senior Golf as sociation here Friday. The group is for golfers between the ages of 40 and 50. Dr. V. E. Fowler of Astoria was named vice-president and John Kendall of Port land was elected secretary-treasurer. George Bertz of Portland was appointed executive secretary. Crosby tournament in California during January of 1955. Came the 1955 open in San Francisco and Jules made a. gal lant bid to take his second na tional crown. However, the jungle-like rough at the Olympic Club took its toll and Jules slip ped to 77 in his final round and a tie for fifth place. His second day 69 over the treacherous course was hailed as one of the finest in the tournament as Jules didn't miss a fairway in the en tire 18 holes. Boros who often has been described as the golfer who swings so smooth and easy you think he's taking a practice swing was not to be denied during 1955. The Wilson staff member returned to his favorite Tarn O'Shanter course to pick up the biggest financial plum in golf the $50,000 plus first prize in the World tournament.
