SURER THAN BANNISTER

There is a weight of opinion in athletic circles that Bill Nankeville is a better bet than Roger Bannister for the Olymple 1,500 Metres Championship at Helsinki.

-Nankeville was beaten in the AAA Mile last year. by Bannister, running the distance in 4:08.6 to Ban- nister's 4:07.8. His most successful year was 1950 when he placed third in the 1,500 Bletres at the European Championships in 3 minutes 48 seconds, the fastest time for the distance ever accomplished by British athlete.

Bannister's best is 3:48.6 and Sydney Wooderson never did better than 3:48.4. Nankeville is a more consistent performer, also, than is Bannister,

Most of the world's athletes, and runners particu. larly, have found that they touch their best every alternate year and Nankeville had a better season In 1950 than he had last year-Central Press Photo,
