BILL MILLER AND HIS PUPILS

GERMAN TRACK AND FIELD EXPERT SAYS

MAN WILL NEVER COVER THE CENTURY SPRINT IN NINE SECONDS

By HANS SCHAEFER

Frankfurt.

Man will never cover the 100-metre aprint in 9.0 seconds or turn in a nine metro broad jumping result and the hectic world-record-breaking pace likely will slow down soon as there are certain limits for any athlete's physical capacities, a well-known German track and field expert claims.

G. A. Bochmig, one of the country's forenwest track theoreticians, based his claim on mathematical rules. Writing in one of the latest editions of the official West German Track and Field Association publication "Leichtathletik," the expert came to the conclusion that his assessment of world nxords established since the early days of the sport as far back as 1905 until the wind-up of the 1956 · season revealed that on the basis of a "mathematical order," the number of world records will considerably go down as compared to the past few years.

In 1955,
