Gotta Have Seven Horse Motor
To Run Mile in Four Minutes
By HARRY LEADINOHAM
ATLANTA, July 17 (IF) If
(and when) someone runs tho
four-mlmito mile, he'll be a guy
who can look a' seven-horsepower
motor In the face and not
feel outclassed.
J. G. Lostrr, Emory univer
sity engineering Instructor and
coach of many of tho school's
Intra-mural teams, reduced the
four-minute mile to a mathemat
ical formula today and here's
what he found:
A mile In four minutes Ik
equivalent to kicking yourself
around a track at IS miles an
hour. But tho horsepower need
ed would vary with the runner's
weight,
Guilder Hncgg weighs about
U0 pounds and Arno Andcrsson.
the Swedish schoolteacher who
recently ran the milo in 4:02.8.
Is 1S3. Taking Gunder's 150
pounds ax a round number, Les
ter tied it to tho distance run
8280 feet In four minutes, or
1320 per minute. Multiplying
the two, he got 1 08.000. Then he
divided thm by 3,'t.OOO the
foot-pounds of work in ono min
ute at one horsepower and
camo up with six.
In other" words, explained the
engineer-track coach, it would
take six horsepower to propel a
180-pound runner a mile In four
minutes, presuming he doesn't
run a step beyond B280 feet,
that he runs the whole race at
the same speed, on a leveli
straight track, and Is neither
helped nor hindered by the
wind.
Haegg, In running the mile at
4:04.8, probably generated about
six horsepower, figured Lester,
while Andcrsson, In establishing
the new mark of 4:02.8. probab
ly was putting out a little better
than six, especially if he sprint
ed to tho topo.
Thus, he said, to run a four
minute mile allowing for varl
able present In every race it
probably would take a cookie
who, in the final sprint for the
tape, at least, can pick 'em up
and put 'em down Just about as
fast as a seven-h orsepower
motor.

Fast Mile
Question! Will Gil Dodds
Push Gunder For Enough to
Fore Best Mile of Coreer?
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17
UP) A slim, galloping figure
with the speed of the Swedish
wind on his spikes lined up
today for what may be the
fastest mile in the American
record book.
It was Gunder Haegg, of
course, and nobody doubted that
he would pound down to the
Kezar stadium finish line ahead
of three other starters.
The question, rather, was:
"Will Gil Dodds push Haegg
enough to force him to run the
best mile of his career?"
Dodds trailed the Swedish
distance champion in two-mile
races in Chicago and Los An
geles. But the fact that the
fleet Boston Divinity student
won the national AAU 1500
meters, or metric mile, the last
two years, and was given a
fighting chance in Kezar's four
laps, suggested Gunder the
Swift may have to hustle.
Swedish Newsman Gerhard
T. Rooth, who is touring with
Haegg, said his performance de
pended in great measure on
what Dodds did, adding:
'If Dodds runs 4:07, Haegg
will run 4:06. And if Dodds
runs 4:02, Haegg will run 4:01."
Wolves Win,
But Firemen
Play Tourney
PORTLAND, July 17 OP) The
Camp Adair Timber Wolves are
the semi-pro baseball champions,
but they won't represent the
state in the national semt-pro
tournament at Wichita, Kas.
Because the soldiers can't trav
el that far, the trip will be made
by the Portland Firemen, van
quished by the Timber Wolves,
4-0, in the state championship fi
nals last night.
The Firemen showed power a
plenty, and threatened the Army
team repeatedly, but wily Jack
Knott, soldier pitcher, proved too
much for the young Portlanders.
He gave up nine hits, but was
untouchable in the pinches.
The Timber Wolves touched
Dick Sinovich for eight bingles,
scoring first in the third inning
when Beau BelUa- single pro-'
duced one run and another came
in on an error. Knott drove in
the next tally with a single in
the fourth, and Bell singled the
last run home m the seventh.

golf and devote all her atten

peting next week in the Tarn

"It seems like everything that

belief that golf is on the wash
out. "And gasoline rationing

courses pretty hard."

Newsom, Medwick to Report; Bum Stew

By SID FEDER
Associated Press Sports Editor
There was that tune out of
Tin Pan alley a while back
about "The Dipsy Doodle That
Gets In Your Hair," and Na
tional league batters, who've
been breaking their backs on
Rip Sewell's new Sunday pitch
this season, tell you the guy
who wrote this little number
didn't know the half of it.
The way they tell it, in fact,
this is probably the funniest
dipsy -doo slant since Wes Fer
rell presented his nuthln' ball.
It's a little thing Sewell cooked
up in his spare time and finally
perfected, and since he .discov
ered the "dodo," the Pittsburgh
Pirates' twirler has become the
leading elbower in the National
league. At the moment, he's
sporting a slate of 13 wins, in
cluding a 9-5 Job over the St.
Louis Cardinals yesterday.
The Brooklyn stew-pot, inci

down to a mere boil, what with

BOSTON, July 17 W) After
