USA Track Meet
By BERNARD AUSTIN
On Tuesday, January 26, a
press conference was held or
the campus of North Carolina
Central University at which
time Dr. Leroy T. Walker, in
ternationally known track
coach and Director of Physi
caJ Education at N. C. C. U.,
made the announcement that
Durham has been selected as'
the site of the first Pan Africa-
U.S.A. International Track
Meet.
The following is a news re
lease given to the press by Dr.
Walker, who will serve as the
meet's overall director, con
cerning the meet which will be
held on July 16-17, at Duke
University's Wallace Wade
Stadium.
"Sanctions for an interna
tional Pan Africa - U.S.A.
track meet have been granted
by the International Section of
the A.A.U. and the Supreme
Sports Council of Africa. It is
anticipated that 48 athletics
from 10 or 12 African nations
will compete in the various
events. Many of the athletes
on the U.S.A. team will be
among members of the U. S. A.
team that will be competing
in the Pan American Games
July 30 - August 9 at Cali,
Columbia. This U.S.A. Pan
American Games team will be
training on the DuKe Universi
ty Campus from July 12-
through 21, with Duke Univer
sity Track Coach, A 1 Buehler
serving as the team's manager.
Plans for the Pan African -
U.S.A. Track Meet developed
out of the discussions conduct
ed in Stockholm last summer
when Dr. Walker was touring
Europe as coach of the U. S. A.
Team which participated in
several international events.
Upon his return to this coun
try, a committee was formed
in Durham to study the possi
bility of bringing the Pan
Africa - U.S.A. meet here. The
committee was composed of
Dr. Walker; Ernie Greup, Di
rector of Public Affairs of
television station WTVD; and
Vic Bubas, Assistant to the
President, Duke University.
The committee held meeting
with local business and civic
leaders to assure the firm sup
port that the meet would
need. These plans have been
endorsed by Governor Robert
Scott, of North Carolina;
Mayor Wense Grabarek, of the
City of Durham; and Jim
Hawkins, President of the Dur
ham Chamber of Commerce.
The U. S. State Department
has assured their full coopera
tion for the meet.
At the present time finan
cial commitment have been
made by The CBS Television
Network, which will televise
the meet nationally, and
several local business and civic
leaders. Profits from the meet
will be divided between the
A.A.U., and three charitable
organizations: The John
Avery Boys Club, the City of
Durham Recreation Depart
ment to provide camperships
to needy youngsters at the
YMCA summer camp, and
UNICEF."
This could very well be one
of the greatest sporting event*
to take place in the section oi
the country and without a
doubt the largest to take place
In Durham since the Rose
Bowl, which was held here
doing the 1940'5.
