AMERICANS DETERMINED TO LEAVE THEIR SOVIET RIVALS FAR BEHIND

By "RECORDER"

Very few reports ever come out via the news agencies on what is going on in American athletics while much is written by uninformed sportswriters short of a subject on the coming Russian challenge in the Melbourne Olympic Games.

We hear of Wes Santee's every failure to break the four-minute Mile barrier via the news agencies. They have even informed us of Jim Golliday's equalling. Mef »Patton's world record of 9.3 seconds in the 100 Yards Dash.

The NTACA Novices Summer Competition has got off to a good start, two events having been held, a Massed Start Race and a Time Trial, both at Sixteen Miles. Although the fields have not been big, they have been good, and a number to take part of potential "cracks" have made their marks.
