Calhoun And McCullough's Chances Of Making U. S. Team Good, But They Must Give Best Efforts Once in CaUlornia, what chances do Lee Calhoun, hurd ler, and Charles McCullough, high jumper, have to make the U. S. Olympic team? The two NCC track stars, who . boarded an Eastern Airlines plane lor Los Angeles, via Washington and Chicago at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning, appear to liave excellent chances. That is judging by thi^ir progress dur ing the past selisOn in the East, and allowing lor continued im provement with the gruelling competition to be expected from Western track performers. In general, Kastern athletes haven’t had the advantage of as much favorable outdoor wea ther conditions as the Western athletes have had. Notwithstan ding this fact, however, Calhoun and Eliu Gilbert of Winston- Salem, have posted 13.8 times in the 120 hurdles for the best Eastern collegiate clockings. Only Olympic veteran Jack Da vis of the San Diego NTC, with 13.7, has a better record. As a Navy lieutenant, Davis is no longer a collegian. Davis’ service buddy and com petitor Milt Campbell, a vete ran of the 1952 Olympic tryouts and former New Jersey school boy hurdling sensation, has also posted a non-wir>ning time, like Gilbert, of 13.8. Campbell is at San Diego now. The world’s record in the 120’s is 13.6, set by Dick Attle- sey formerly of Southern Cali fornia in 1950. The Olympic re cord of 13.7 was set by Harrison DUlard in 1952. With GUbert and CalfaoUn now running 13.8, both CIAA stars seem to havel '‘an excellent chance not only of getting down to 13.7, but possi bly the record equaling time of 13.6, with an outside chance of shattering the present mark. Dillard, the defending 01ym-> pic champion, qualified for the 120’s in Los Angeles in 1952, in 14.0. He won in a final race that sent him ahead of Davis, Art Barnard of the U.S. Navy, Milt Anderson, U.S. Army, Milt Campbell, Willie Stevens tfien of the Chicago Catholic Youth Organizatioii and now at Tenn. State, and Willard Wright of Southern California. Dillard, now 33 years old, re cently ran a 11.0 flat race. At Helsinki tn the qualifying heat in 1952, “Old Bbaes” streaked to a 13.9 finish ahefid of a six lhan field that saw the nearest man to him realize 14.8. 'Hie runner- up then was S. Popov of the USSR. In the semi finals Dillard coasted to a 14.0 and came roar ing back in the finals to win an eyelash ahead of Davis who was also clocked at 13.7. An authoritative source in Durham said this week Calhoun had run a “13.6 race on a local outdoor track.” In McCullough’s specialty, the high jump, Walt Davis of JCex- as A and M posted the best re cord in the 1952 tryouts with a leap of 6 feet and nine inches. A two-way tie developed for se cond "place with Ken Wiesner of -the U. S. Navy and Arnold Bet- ton of Drake reaching heights of 8 feet and seven and seven-. eights Inches Four athletes tied for third place with jumps of 6 feet and six and seven-eighths inches. At Helrinki, Davis went on to win the Olympic finals with a leap of 6 feet and eight and one-fourth Inches. McCullough, whose best leap to date is six feet and eigh in ches, is currently ranked thirti in the U. S. by the National Col legiate Athletic Bureau. Lea Steers of the United States set the world record in the high jump in 1941 when he rose to a height of six feet and 11 inches. NCAA statist lo.o at mid month listed the current US lending high jumper a.s Don Stewart, Southern Methodist University freshman, who has soared to a level of six feet and 10 and one quarter inches. Ernie Shelton of the LAAC’s height is 6’10" and Walt Mangham of New Castle High School is credited with a jump of 6’9” and three-quartersj McCullough, tlierefore, has a chance to add one or more in ches to his own altitude for a possible Olympic title. But he wiU have to jump. Just as Cal houn will have to run, for both lads will be competing with the finest athletes in the entire United States. Boasted by the confidence of friends who gave money and signed notes to make their trips possible, Calhoun and McCul lough are determined to do their best.
