Bannister Will Run Against Nankeville, Parlett And Eyre At AAA Games

By "RECORDER”

تبال

They can't resist the challenge of Bannister, All Britain's outstand- ing milers, including the European 1,500 Metres Champion, Bill Nankeville, the European 800 Metres Champion, Harry Parlett, and the Empire Three Miles Champion, Len Eyre, have elected to r un in the Mile at the AAA Championships at the White City, London, on Saturday.

Bannister has the fastest mile of anyone of them to his credit-4 minutes 8.3 seconds at the Penn Relays in the United States. Nankeville holds the AAA record at 4:08.8 and his winning time at the European Games at Brussels last year over 1,500 metres-3 minutes 48 seconds is equivalent to a mile in 4:06.2. Eyre has run the mile in 4:09 and Parlett in 4:00.2.

Parlett alone is electing to run in a 'nother If he in drawn in not

ton fast company in the heats of the 880 yards he will double in the Half Mile and Mile. It may require a heat in 1:54 to qualify for the final of the Half and that would take too much out of Parlett for an attempt at the double.

Arthur Wint. who it wast rumoured earlier in the season Roger Bannister would also switch to the Mile, Harry Parlett has recently turned in as 800 Chris Chataway Metres effort in 1:60.8 against Ron Morles: the Belgians at Antwerp. It will take some running to outrace Wint in the Half.
