Ibbotson Breaks World Mark
In Mile; 4 Under 4 Minutes
By ROBERT MUSEL
London W Derek Ibbotson,
a mighty happy Royal Air Force
private, agreed today that his
stunning world record of 3:57.2
for the mile can be lowered
but only if the race is run on
motorcycles."
Ibbotson, who led an historic
four-man parade through the
four-minute barrier Friday, said
he's switching now to a cam
paign for the world two-mile
record.
"Ibbotson can run even fast
er," predicted Dr. Roger Bannis
ter, the British hero who was
the first man to break the four
minSte roadblock in the mile
run. Friday's race was superb,
but Derek can run faster. He is
magnificent."
The 24-year-old Ibbotson, who
had beaten four minutes twice
before, first ran red-shirted
Stanislav Jungwirth of Czecho
slovakia into defeat in the race
at White City stadium and then
stood off a slamming finish by
Ron Delany of Ireland, the
Olympic 1,500-meter champion
who attends Philadelphia's Vil
lanova university.
Delany was second in 3:58.8
and Jungwirth third in 3:59.1.
Ken Wood of England was
fourth in 3:59.3 making the
first time in history that four
men in the same race bettered
four minutes. Three men had
done it on May 28. 1956, in. a
race here won by Hungary's
Laszlo Tabori.
Ibbotson's time eclipsed the
3-year-old world mark of 3:58.0
set by John Landy of Australia
at Turku, Finland, and London's
tabloid Daily Mirror exulted in
a headline today. "The World
Mile Record Is Back Where It
Belongs in Britain."
Ibbotson disclosed his record
run was carefully planned, but
was nearly wrecked by a slow
third quarter. British dark-horse
Michael Blagrove, playing the
role of a pace-setting "rabbit,
led the field through a 55.3 first
quarter had a 1:55.8 half-mile
before fading away. Jungwirth,
holder of the world "metric
mile" record went ahead then,
followed by Ibbotson, Stefan Le
wandowski of Poland, and De
lany as they went into the last
lap at 3:00.0.
Ibbotson challenged Jung
wirth with 300 yards to go. The
Czech held on grimly for 80
yards and then Ibbotson went
ahead by 12 yards. Delany, al
wavs the late runner, didn't
start his move until 70 yards
from home. He nailed the tiring
Jungwith easily but never could
catch Ibbotson.
Wounds in Fight
Bring Suspension
Syracuse. N.Y. WK Winner
Rory Calhoun and loser Oermi
nal Ballarin of France both were
automatically suspended today
for 30 days because of face cuts
suffered in Friday night's
bloody television fight.
Middleweight contender Cal
houn, the 3-1 favorite, required
stitches on his left cheek and
kfn olthmiph he WOUnd UP
with the unanimous 10-round de
cision. The surprising' Frenchman,
with the luxuriant, drooping
black mustache, who won the ac
claim of the 1.447 fans in War
Memorial auditorium by leading

needed nine stitches on a deep
gash in his left brow and three
more on two lesser nicks in the
same area.

Bid Players
Portland Players in the 10th
annual Shriners' hospital ail-star
football game, scheduled for Au.
gust 24, in Portland's Multno
mah stadium, have been in
structed by their respective
coaches to "report in top physi
cal condition so we can start
right to work."
The rival State and Metropoli
tan all-star squads will check
into Portland August 11 for the
start of a two-week training pro
gram. The State squad will be
quartered at the Mallory hotel
and the Metros at Lewis and
Clark college.
The first day will be confined
to a luncheon with game offi
cials, physical examinations, is
suance of equipment and picture-
taking for press and radio. Ac
tual workouts will get under
way the following day, with
State drilling at University of
Portland and the Metros at
Lewis and Clark college.
Ralph Harper of Portland's
Benson Tech. who will serve as
head coach of the Metros, has ad
vised his players that "we will
lose a lot of valuable time if
body contact work has to be de
layed because of poor physical
condition." " j
State all stars should be pre
pared to "get right down to
cases", according to Coach Fred
Spiegelberg of Medford who
stated that "players who fail to
report in good condition will be
handicapped in their bids to
start."
The game, which has netted
nearly S225.000 for the Shrin
ers' hospital in the last nine
years, pits the top high school
senior performers of last year
against each other on a state ver
sus metropolitan area basis.
Many of the game's alumni have
gone on to star in collegiate and
professional ranks.
Mail orders for reserved seats
are being accepted now at Shrin

Baseball Farm
Plan Defended
By Dodger VP
Washington HP) The con
gressional sports hearing took a
time-out Saturday and prepared
to switch its attention from or
ganized baseball to the equally
stormy question of pro football.
The House subcommittee
studying whether professional
sports should be placed under
the anti-trust laws wound up its
investigation of baseball Friday
by hearing testimony from
Brooklyn Dodgers' Vice Presi
dent Fresco Thompson in de
fense of faTm systems.
The hearings will be in recess
until next Wednesday, when
Commissioner Bert Bell of the
National Football league and
former pro gridiron stars Chuck
Bednarik and Sid Luckman will
be called to testify.
Monopoly Denied
Thompson, who guides the
Dodgers' vast farm system, de
nied big league teams "monopo
lize" 90 per cent of the good
prospects. He disputed testi
mony three weeks ago by Leslie
M. O'Connor, president of the
Pacific Coast league, regarding
the operation of farm systems.
Thompson said O'Connor's
suggestion that major league
teams be allowed to control no
more than 40 players would "be
bad for baseball" because it
would reduce competition for
players, "drastically reduce" the
number of minor league teams
which "could not exist without
the help they get from the major
league organizations, and low
er the quality of play at all
levels.

Fanfare
Golf fans who followed the
Southern Oregon tournament
last year at Rogue Valley Coun
try club, will remember Lynn
Creason, stellar amateur from
Harrisburg, Pa., who was runner-up
to Rod Funseth for the
championship.
This department has received
a clipping on the Pennsylvanian,
via his mother, Mrs. Lloyd Mor
rison, Harbor Ore., on Creason"
play in the Rochester, N.Y, in
vitational recently. Creason was
medalist with a par equalling
70.
Most interesting in the story,
by writer Bill Pulsifer, is some
background information. He
wrote:
"The compact swinger from
Harrisburg is an imperturb
able match player. Perhaps
anyone else with his back
ground would also find little
to. get excited about in any
thing at mild as a game of
golf. Firstly, the 41-year-old
Creason has eight children,
and secondly, he once jump
ad from an airplane and his
parachute didn't' completely
open.
"That was during World
War II when as a lieutenant
colonel, he had the job of test
ing new parachutes. About
that one jump: 'The chute
kept flapping, opening and
closing all the way down,' he
recalls. He wound up in a hos
pital for 13 months.
NEW CHAMPION
The Southern Oregon links

champion when it is contested
over the Labor day holidays

is now a pro. At last report he
was employed at Thunderbird

Wrong Emphasis
On Athletics
Blamed on Alums
Portland ITU Dean Orlando
Hollis, University of Oregon's
faculty representative to the Pa
cific Coast conference warned
Friday that if the PCC becomes
much more lenient in its aid-to-athletes
regulations, the confer
ence might tjorder on profes
sionalism. Speaking at a luncheon here
he said, "If the conference
should vote to allow $300 per
month payment to each athlete,
the athletes could receive the
$300 monthly and still be ama
teurs." Hollis said alumni groups are
to be blamed for putting college
athletics, particularly football,
out of focus with the positions
sports should maintain in col
leges and universities.
Lying and Cheating
Commenting on the under-the-table-pay
for athletes, he said he
feared many young men would
be led to believe there are
"gains to be achieved by lying
and cheating."
He said, "We forget what we
are viewing is a contest not
played bv professionals. They
are young men Students
playing a game they do not nave
to play.
"If we lost sight of that, we
are on the wrong track."

Oregon State is not eligible

Medford's Cheney Studs, with
an overall better record in the

day in Rogue Valley league base
ball contention with Glendale at
the fairgrounds diamond here.
But the recent success of the
Loggers from Douglas county,
and the troubles Medford had
last week end with cellar dwell

battle this afternoon.
The Studs, undefeated in their
seven previous league .engage

Glendale, winners of four con
secutive RVL scraps, at 2 p.m.
Now in third spot in the cir

reason to consider the Studs fair
game in their ambitions for de
fense of the Rogue Valley pen
