Kenya’s Track Star Will Have Altitude Advantage In Olympics Many athletes expect trouble getting enough oxygen in the 1068 Olympics at Mexico City's 7,300-foot altitude. Not Kip choge Keino, Kenya’s distance runner, who trains back home In Africa at 6,000 feet. Other than natural ability, this maybe his advantage over track stars of many other countries. “lean run three miles at sea level about 30 seconds faster than I can at home,’’ EBONY Mag azine quotes the 26-year-old sensation. “Kip” Keino is “different” in many ways. Last year, at the ripe old age of 25, he won events in six international meets. A mong his triumphs: the 3,000- meter title in Sweden, world 5,000-meter in New Zealand with an amazing time of 12:54.2, first African to break the four minute mile at White City, Eng land. At one New Zealand meet he clocked a 3:54.2 mile, one tick slower than Peter Snell’s best. In many races, Keino wears his good luck token, a bright orange billed cap he picked up in Tokyo. When he senses vic tory coming, he throws the cap into the center of the arena. The crowd roars, but Kip’s manager is not impressed, say ing, “He loses three steps when he does it.” Unlike nearly all track stars, the Kenyan has never had a coach. “Once,”he says, “When I was running in Nairobi, Mai Whitfield (retired American track star now living in Afri ca) came and gave me some encouragement. Later he sent me a training program. I used it for two months and threw it away. Now I use my own pro gram.” And this, too, is dif ferent, While the great Austral ian distance runners train by running 100 to 500 miles per week, hfe never does more than 38 miles a week, trains no more than three days in the same period, to avoid going stale. Kipchoge is pretty good at forecasting both his victories and his defeats in advance, pre dicted he would not win the mile at the January Los Angeles In helped Howard to its fifth straight Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association champion ship, according to Ebony Mag azine for May. But before winning over the crowds, Sandra had to win over a smaller, more exacting group, her male teammates. She did it by winning five firsts, hands vitational. He didn’t. He pre dicted he would win the two mile event. He did. After re ceiving the Mai Whitfield A ward, Kip looked ahead to New York’s Millrose Games the next week. “I won’t break the mile record in New York,” he said, “because it’s too cold there.” He won the Wanamaker Mile by two feet in the slow time of 4:03.9. Kipchoge Keino intends to win the mile at the British Com monwealth Game in Jamaica in August. Cheek, Jones Show Co-Copts. James Cheek, Jr., a 215- pound tackle, and Willie Jones, who played the regular fullback spot last season, were named co-captains of the 1966 Shaw University football team. Their selection as leaders of the ’66 grid team was an nounced at the annual athletic awards banquet. Cheek was rated as one of the CIAA’s premier offensive and defensive stalwarts last season in leading the Bears to their best campaign since 1958. The son of Mr. and Mrs. James Cheek, Sr., of Kittrell, he led the ’65 club in the most tac kles made. In the season's final game against St. Augus tine’s he made 18 initial stops and assisted in 12 tackles. Jones, an Air Force veteran from Asheville, was shifted to a running back spot by Lee Royster, the Bears’head coach, after playing at quarterback the season before, his freshman year. In addition, he took over the Bears’ punting chores af ter the second game of the year and averaged 36.3 yards per boot. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. David Jones of Asheville. In commenting on the squad’s selection of Cheek and Jones, Royster said, PI feel that the players have made an excellent choice. They have the atti tude and personality to get tremendous cooperation from their teammates.” down. He consistent perform ance as a "team girl” earned grudging respect from the men first, then admiration. Seldom has any diver -- male or fe male -- enjoyed such a promis - ing first year. Though most girl divers pass their peak at about 18, Coach Clarence Pendleton says San dra has youth, stamina and great strength. “She also has the driving spirit essential to a good competitor,” the coach states. “She’ll be on the squad the full four years.” Ebony’s photographs show her executing a beautiful half gainer with pike. Her specialty is a forward one and-a-half somersault. Marching Band Number Three in The Nation PETERSBURG, Va.

Butler, who rose to fame on the strength of his record of "For Your Precious Love,” began national fan club activi ties when it became apparent that very few people were really interested in the teenagers on their level. “I have never really had the time to actively promote a fan club,” he said, “and I still don’t have the time.
