Calhoun’s dazzling finale, a step ahead of sophomore sen sation Elias Gilbert of Winston Satem, dimmed the 13.8 which Gilbert racked up in the NAIA trials Friday.

Leroy Walker Says- Tracksters' Stamina Comes From Rigorous Training, Not Pills For the past two weeks as Lee Calhoun and 1 have moved about CaliCprnia from Los An geles to Modesto, to Stockton, to San Diego, it has been my pleasure to talk with outstand ing coaches from all over the world. The conversations Uiave covered a wide variety of sub jects—training methods, styles, great performers, use of pep pills, etc. The meet directors collabo rated to briag to California great talents from all over the world. Among the most illustri ous in the galaxy of stars were the sub-four minute milers flown from foreign soil—Brian Hewson and Depek Ibbotson (Great Britain) ahd now Lin coln (Australia), joined by Las- zlo Tabori formerly of Hungary now living in Chapel Hill. Al though the miracle mile of less than four minutes was not achieved by this terrific quartet (Lincolii ran 4:01.4), many hours have been spent discuss ing (1) the merits of the train ing methods of the foreign coaches, Igloi of Hungary and Stamphl of Australia, and (2) why American runners lag be hind foreign middle distance and di.stnnt runners. World records iibove the 800- yard run reads like a who’s who afhong foreign runners: 1000 meters - Boysen, Norway and Rozsavolgi Hungary (2m 19.05); 1500 meters — Rozsa- vilgi, Hungary (3 m 40,6 secs,); mile run — Landy, Australia V^-m 58 secs,); 2000 meters — Rozsavolgi, Hungary m 02,2 secs.); 3000 and 5000 meters — Pirie, Great Britain two, three and six miles — lharos, Hun gary; 10,000 meters, Kuts, US SR; and from 10,000 to 25,000 meters, Tatopek, Russia. There is not an American among them. Why? I talked for hours with Igloi, Tabori, Stamphl and Lincoln on the subject of training. There 1 found part of the answer. Stamphl runs Lincoln 250 miles a month, 3000 niilej a year, Ig loi works Tabori at varying dis tances for three hours, twice a day, every day of the week, 365 days a year. Tabori works twice a day on days when he partici pates in a meet. Both coaches and their pupils agreed that the American runners could surpass all . records, now on the books if they even approximated the Eusopean methods of training. The answer is in attitude tow ard training, not in location or country. Stamina, speed and tempo comes from rigorous training schedules and not from pep pills as one member of the A. M. A. falsely asserts. I know of some track coaches who use honey and chocolates for an effect which is psychological, as well as physiological. But I know of none who uses pep pills. Another topic of conversa tion has been the great per formers participating in the meets this summer. The com ments were both gratifying and amazing. It was gratifying to know that the concensus among the leading coaches is that Cal houn is the* greatc.st stylist among a long line ot great hurd lers and were it not for the drain of eighteen months con tinuous competition he would be Invincible. 1 was amazed, however, to learn that most coaches and newspaper and radio people considered Milt Campbell a “new comer”. A new comer? The big guy held the national scholastic record at 14 seconds flat for the 120 hurdles. t>eat Harrison Dillard, 32 Olympic Champion, while still a Fresh man in college, ran 13.7 last year and missed makipg the Olympic team as a hurdler in a photo finish with Shankel of Duke after nursing a bad leg for two weeks. A "new comer” does not run 13.4 (a review of the photo of the Compton hur dles finish revealed that Gil bert, Calhoun and Campbell all ran 13.4 in the greatest three- man finish ever). The meets have been terrific not even an eyebrow was lifted when meet records were brok en in nearly every event. Amer ican and, or world records were set in every meet. Texas speed sters broke the existing record every time they ran the 440 and 880 relays, likewise Occidental College in the 2-mlle and dis tance medley relays. Don Bow den t>ecame the first American to run the mile iA under four minutes as he ran 3:58.7 at Stockton, Calhoun ran five hur dles races for an average of 13.06 per race. Campbell, Cal- hocn and Gilljert ran 13.4 lor the 120 H. Hurdles, phenomenal performances. This part of the country is track mad.
