MAIL TRIBUNI, M.drord, Or. Burley Feels He Can Race Even Faster Eugene, Ore. - UPD - Don Burleson, University of Ore gon sophomore who Saturday became the second American to run a sub-four minute mile, pays he can run even faster. Burleson nipped Sanford's Ernie Cunliffe by about 12 yards In 3:58.6. The 19-year-old's time was a tenth of a second under that of Califor nia's Don Bowden, who ran 3:58.7 mile at Stockton, Calif., in 1957. "I think I know I can run faster," Burleson said aft erwards. "It was relatively easy to kick by him (Cunliffe) going into the stretch and I had something left when the race was over." Burelson is the 23rd miler to break the magic barrier. Cunliffe set the pace and ran 4:00.4, his all-time best, placing him among Ameri ca's top three milers. Ernie Works "You have to give Lrnic lot of credit. Burleson saia "Hp rlid all the work. Its easy for someone to fullow and let the other guy set the nope " Stanford Coach Payton Jor dan had Draise for Burleson as well as his coach, Bill Rnwerman. ' "Bowerman and Burleson are a hard combination to beat," the Indian coach com mented. Burleson said he figured he had a sub four minute mile going during the race. . "On the third lap 1 knew we would be under," he said. Burleson was timed in 62.5 for the first lap, 59.9 on the second, 58.8 in the third and ilnished with 57.4. By EAHL WHIGHT United Press International It's obvious that summer trip to Rome for the 1960 Olympic Games looks mighty good to Dyrol Burleson, Bill Nieder and John Thomas. Of course that jaunt is the target for scores of other Yank track and field stars, but right now it would be hard to find three better bets for the squad. Burelson, 19, a sophomore at the University of Oregon, produced the festcst mile ever run by a United States citizen Saturday during a dual meet with Stanford. He was timed in 3:58.8 while defeating Er nie Cunliffe of Stanford.

Lewis, Little Ring Victors at Klamath Falls Larry Lewis and Bobby Little of Medford Police Ath letic league gained split de cisions Saturday over Chilo quin rivals in boxing match es at the Klamath Falls arm ory. In the main event Lewis matched against Duane Mc Daniels, piled up a good mar gain in the first two rounds, but hampered by a cold, be gan to tire in the third round. The action was fast and furi ous, with both boys scoring with some good combinations. Lewis moved out fast and strong In the first two rounds, and McDaniels appearing to be the best in the third round. The semi-windup saw Little tangling with Ramon Unive in a well mixed scrap. Both boys started slowly and cautiously, each waiting for the other to lead In order to counter with heavier punches. Little started to press the attack and had Unive in trouble as the round ended. In the second round, Ramon come storming out of his corner determined to end it quickly, but the Medford PAL battler moved in to shoot hard hooks to the body that slowed Unive. Little was hurt by a hard right hand, but countered another body com bination that had the Chtlo- quin boy gasping. Crisp Punches In the third stanza crlsper punching by Bobby Little in- pressed both of the judges.. In a 120 round bout, Don Cray of Medford PAL, lost on a TKO at the end of the sec ond round to Leon Weeks of Chlloquin. Gray fighting his first match as an amateur, and subbing for the ailing Billy Thomas, startled the Klamath fight fans by taking the fight to Weeks, who recently won the 125-pound title in the Southern Oregon Golden Gloves tournament. But, Gray, not knowing how to pace himself, faded badly in the closing seconds of the sec ond round. Jim Zack, coach of the PAL club, would like to arrange a double main event in a re match for Lewis and McDan iels and Little and Unive, and Is hoping that the bleacher scats and chairs ordered by the Armory board will soon be delivered to the Medford armory.
