Oregon's Jim Bailey Upsets Landy
Setting New US Record With 3.58.6
By CHUCK WEINSTOCK
Uniled Press Sports Writer
Los Angeles (U.PJ Jim
Bailey, of the University of Ore
gon, scored a stunning upset ov
er fellow Australian and World
Champion Miler John Landy
Saturday to crack the four-minute
mile for the first time in the
United States.
Bailey, in spoiling the U. S.
debut of Landy at Memorial
Coliseum, became the sixth man
in track history to better the four
minute barrier with a sensation
al clicking of 3:58.6, six tenths
over the world record of 3.58
held by Landy.
Bailey's spectacular win today
also set a new American record,
smashing the old American mark
of 4:00.5 set by Wes Santee, of
Kansas, in the Texas Relays in
1955.
Landy, edged out by Bailey's
tremendous finishing kick on the
last lap, finished a yard behind
the winner in 3:58.7. He prev
iously had raced Bailey on four
occasions in Australia before
Bailey came to this country to at
tend school. In those previous
races, Landy was victorious each
time.
Some 40,000 fans saw the spec
tacular kick in which Bailey
surged on the final lap to come
from about 30 yards back with
220 yards to go. He caught Lan
dy about 80 yards from the tape,
edged into a one-yard lead and
held Landy off into the finish.
Bailey was clocked unofficial
ly on his last lap in 55.5 seconds
flat, one of the greatest last laps
ever recorded for a mile race.

Brigham Young University,
Provo, Utah Paul Eckel, for
mer all conference football
player from Medford, Ore.,
made his collegiate varsity grid
iron debut at Brigham Young
university recently, and the 6,
000 fans and critics who watch
ed him in action liked what they
saw.
Only a freshman at the Mor
mon university, iiCKei nas al
ready come in -for his share of
attention as a football lineman.
He was chosen as one of the co-
captains for BYU's annual Blue
White spring football game, an
honor never before given a
freshman.
Eckel played nearly 60 min
utes of ball at guard, and after
the game the Utah sports scribes
on hand labeled his play "out
standing." Mentor Pleased
In the dressing room follow
ing the game Coach Harold
Kopp, new football mentor at
BYU, was obviously pleased
with Eckel's performance.
"How about that boy Eckel,"
exclaimed Kopp. "If we Jan get
ten more, men like him we'll
have a football team nextfall.
Some one's got to work pretty
hard to keep this boy off the
first string."
Kopp should know whereof he
speaks. Before coming to BYU
two months ago Be had logged
time as line coach at Yale, Har
vard, and Brown. As head coach
at Rhode Island his teams ran
up a four year record of 25-4-1,

Braves Rely
On Mathews
By United Press
Manager Charlie Grimm In
sists Eddie Mathews is the man
who can lead Milwaukee into
the World Series this year and,
be that as it may, he certainly
is the man who kept the Braves
in first place Saturday.
It was Mathews 10th inning
single that scored Johnny Logan
from second base Friday night
with- the run that gave the
Braves a 3-2 victory over the
Giants and kept them 52 per
centage points ahead of the second-place
Cardinals.
"Notice how often one of
Mathews hits figures in our
winning a ball game," Grimm
points out. . .
The Milwaukee manager nas
a point well taken. Of the six
games the Braves have won so
far, hits by Mathews have naa
a direct influence on three of
them. His clutch hit Friday
night sent southpaw Johnny
Antonelli down to defeat.
