Olympic team in 1956, Kaffir Johnson wont to Mel bourne fully expecting to emerge as one of this country's heroes by winning the decathlon. But. the lithe giant boro California suffer ed a knee injury and had to relin quish that honor to his tun com patriot Milt Campbell. Johnson wailed nearly two years to in a measure - atone for his failure in Australia and achieve a triumph of comparable stature. The opportunity came recently when he. established a new world's record for the decathlon by scoring a.302 points in Moscow <JKF..\II ST INDIVID! \t. FEAT His effort was the greatest in dividual feat in the two-day ; "u a and field meet between Russian and American athletes. In so doing, he vanquished his Russian r.val. Vasily Kuznetsov, who also heal Johnson s old world mark of 7.PM with P.,01.{ points The 22-vear old athlete from Kingsburg, Calif., and a I f FA student, was given the kind of spontaneous ovation by admir in; Russians that is reserved for few celebrities.

GREATEST ATHLETE ALIVE His accomplishments in the gru elling test stamped him as • he greatest all-round athlete in the world. This, of course, is what Cal ifornians Have been saving about Rafer since he was an 18-year-old high school athlete at Kingsburg. SET RECORDS AT UCLA Johnson enrolled at UCLA in 1954. He started immediately to set records at the Los Angeles school —high buries U 4 seconds', low hurdles (22 9) and broad jump 04 feet. 6 3-4 inches). He turned his attention to bas ketball but had to give up the game to prepare for the 1955 Pnn-Auron ca.n games at Mexico City He -e t a new Pan-Am record with 6.054 points in the decathlon. That was in March, and in June, he estab lished his world record. It was fitting that he reached this ninnacle before the home folk in Kingsburg—-in the Cen tral California Amateur Ath letic union meet. His marvelous exhibition of skit land stamina surpassed the performance of Bob Mathias, the 1952 Olympic decathlon winner, at Helsinki: Johnson's fame does not vest a ’one on his prowess in sports. He is a consistent R student and pre douts] major. He is also president of the UCI.A student body— an honor he held also at Kirigsburg high. He was a four-sport performer in high school, winning 11 varsity letters in football, basketball track and baseball, He was brilliant -n football and basketball, chosen most valuable player in each sport TKACH HIS FORTE But it was in track that Johnson showed promise of reaching fame in the athletic world. From a gan gling sprinter in his freshman year. He became one ofthe world’s best at the decathlon by the lime he was a senior. He gained national acclaim at Atlantic City in 1954. He was third with 5,874 points. Behind, that is quite a story. Logart To Meet Stitch In Louisville LOUISVILLE.

The Milwaukee Braves’ outfielder is back where he be longs—a .300 plus hitter and a threat tor the N-L home run cham pionship. There might be many theories ad vanced *as to why Aaron languish ed s-> long below his normal hit ling pace this season. One being offered here is that the young nut fielder’s - turn to right field coin cided with his balling spurt that raised his mark from the .270 level to si’Oun.t .310.
