Tidwell set a new American
record in the 200-meter low
hurdles Saturday at the na-
tional AAU track and field
championships here in a down-to-the-wire
dual with Hays
Jones of Eastern Michigan

one-tenth of a second off his
own American record of 22.7
and bettering the old AAU
mark of 23.3 seconds set by
Harrison Dillard in 1946.
The world record, 22.1, is
held by Elias Gilbert of the
Winston-Salem Teachers col
let, but that was run on the
straight-away.-
Tidwell's record - breaking
time was around one curve at
Colorado university's Folsom
field here.
Jones was second at 22.7
seconds, and high school ath
lete Warren Cawley of Farm-
ington, Mich., was third at 23
seconds flat. .

23.4.

Other Marks Shattered
Two other new AAU -records,
in the 1,500-meter run
and the discus throw, were
also shattered here Saturday.
r Oregon university freshman
star Dyron Burleson shaved
four-tenths of a second off the
1,500-meter record of 3:47.9,
held since 1940 by Walter
Mehl.
Olympic gold medalist Al
Oerter, former Kansas athlete,
threw the discus 186 feet, five
. inches. This was 4.5 inches
better than the old mark held
since 1953 by Fortune Gor
dien. -
i Perry O'Brien of the South

meet record Friday in the
shotput.
Burleson, 19, overtook his
Oregon university teammate

Grelle won the NCAA mile
th$ week before at Lincoln,
Neb.
Olympic sprint king Bobby
Morrow, who finished dead
last Friday in an attempt to
qualify for the 100-meter
dash, also had a poor showing
Saturday in the 200-meter
trials. Morrow finished sixth
in his heat.
Morrow, who suffered a
muscle spasm two weeks ago
at Houston, Tex., is the only
athlete since Jesse Owen to
win both the 100 and 200
meter dashs in the Olympic
games. . ."" -

He was extremely deft with
his backhand which forced
the more experienced Fraser

was under such pressure that
he made numerous service
errors. In fact, -the Aussie

Mickey Walker
Impressed by
Swedish Boxer
Grossinger, N. Y. - One of
the most durable men in the
history of the ring believes
ingemar Johansson of Swed
end has more than an even
chance to dethrone Champ
Floyd Patterson June 25 at
Yankee Stadium.
Mickey Walker, the Toy
Bulldog, watched the unde
feated European champion go
through his paces at Grossing
er's famed Catskill training
camp of champions and said:
"Let's start with condition.
This big Swede is the hardest
working heavyweight I've ev
er seen - and I can see he is
in top condition. From there
on in, it depends on how hard
he can punch and how he can
take it."
Walker, like most experts,
avers that Johansson is not
unlimbering his heavy artil
lery during the training rou
tine, "other than on the heavy
bag." -
The fight, televised via a
closed-circuit theatre and are
na network throughout the
United States but not in the
New York area, is the biggest
international heavy weight
fight since the Joe Louis-Max
Schmeling title battle. It will
be broadcast domesticallv and
abroad to more fight fans thanJ
ever before in history.
Ring Champ's
Susceptibility
To Rights Noted
It is Floyd Patterson's sus
ceptibility to right hands, and
the possibility that as he tries
to duck under them he will
become a target for Ingemar
Johansson's uppercuts, that
makes a ; heavyweight title
bout between them a poten
tially good fight.
Boxing writer W. C. Heinz
made that estimate of' the sit
uation today after "A Visit
With Ingemar Johansson", as
reported in the current (June
20) issue of The Saturday Eve
ning Post.
" In training and in the
movies of his Machen fight,"
Heinz relates, "Johansson giv
es evidence that he cannot
match Patterson's speed afoot,
hand speed or ring inventive
ness. "He is more methodical,
however, and sets himself bet
ter in throwing punches. In
his right hand- he has more
single-punch power than Pat
terson has in either hand.
1 "Johansson's hones rest, in
his right. His left jab is best
described as-lazy'. It is not a
hurting offensive weapon . . ."

Tunney Says
Stands Good
Lifting Patterson Title
New York - Former world
heavyweight champion Gene
Tunney thinks Ingemar Jo
hansson of Sweden, may well
lift Floyd Patterson's title in
the Yankee Stadium next
Thursday night.
Tunney believes that Inge
mar's training methods are
understandable from the Eu
ropean viewpoint and only
wrong by ours. He says that
Johansson's first-round knock
out of Eddie Machen is a rec
ommendation more powerful
than any camp showing of
the challenger. "
The thoughtful ex-champion
says also that Patterson show
ed all his old faults against
England's Brian London in
their Indianapolis fight re
cently and that London should
not have lasted more than
two rounds. He thinks that the
champion's overall pattern of
fighting is so cautious as to
deny him control of the. ac
tion, allowing Johansson to
make his own opportunities.
As for the challenger's
training methods Tunney was
interested in the amount of
roadwork and his bag-punching.
Hitting Bag Belter
"If he does six or seven
miles a day, he'll have endur
ance," he believes. "Hitting
the big bag is a much better
way to develop body punching
than hitting sparring part
ners." 4,
