10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, June 3, 1965 OSHAWA 'THE HARD WAY' Peter Snell Learned 'Mile B By JACK SULLIVAN iZ Canadian Press Sports Editor 7 It was a scorching afternoon in Rome just before the 1960) Simmer Olympic Games. A young New Zealand runner, his|/ <body: covered with perspiration was doubled over with his hands on his knees. lg Peter Snell; 21 years old and| simply another name in world)" track circles, had completed 17) 220-yard sprints. He was ex- hausted and almost out on his feet. "Run another one," said Ar- thur Lydiard, his coach. "I want to be sick,' mumbled Snell. "Well, be sick," said Lydiard "and then run another one." Snell managed a wry grin, straightened up and loped off on another sprint. He hasn't stopped running 7 since. Four days after that heart - thumping workout he mounted the winner's rostrum to the thunderous applause of! / nearly 100,000 persoris. He was another champion to them and they stood in tribute to the un- known who had beaten the world in the 800-metre run in the Olympic record time of 1:46.3. The victory made Snell's 'a name a household word among the world's track buffs. But that was just the beginning. STAGGERED AMERICANS He has won five gold medals in international compe tition since then and last Jan. 1 was awarded the Order of the Drit- {sh Empire in the Queen's New| 4 Year's honors list. Now the ack- nowledged world's greatest mid- die-distance runner in history, he is eyeing the 3 50.0 mile. Snell is the headliner in the Toronto international meet at Varsity Stadium next Thursday | a Mow, night in a head-to-head duel] with Bill Crothers, the 24-year- old Markham, Ont., pharmacist and second-fastest man in the world over the 800-metre dis- tance This will be their fourth meet- ¢ ing since the 1962 British Em- pire Games at Perth, Australia, | and Snell has been the master) in each.

Two years later--a of January, 1962--he ran mile in 3:54.4, breaking by one- tenth of a second the record established four years earlier by Herb Elliott of Australia week later, he ran the fastest half mile in history--1 45.1-- and at the same time bettered the world 800-metre mark with a time of 1:44.3. Last Nov. 18 this magnificent New Zealand flyer ran the fast est mile ever, & tremendous 3:54.1 effort, at Auckland, UPSET EXPERTS At the Perth games he won both the 880 yards and the mile and one of his victims in the gemi-final of the half was Croth- ers who finished fourth and failed to qualify. Snell simply loped around the track and his times were far off world marks These performances may have thrown experts off the scent because Snell and Lyd-} ard went to Tokyo last October and he wasn't given a chance in the 800 metres. They called two Americans--Jerry Siebert and Morgan Groth--to finish one-two with George Kerr of} Jamaica filling the third spot. | Groth didn't survive the first) round, Siebert made it to the} final and finished sixth, two places behind Kerr. : Snell won the gold medal in 1:45.1, beating his own Olympic) record by more than a second. | Green Gael Games At Home and Away HOME GAMES May 17 St fe t the end) Monday, Catharines Supertests Wednesday, May 26 -- Long Branch Castolites Monday, May 31 -- Hastings Legion paires Monday, Monday, Monday, ttrongs Monday, Monday, Paineers Monday, ers Monday, naires June 7 -- Guelph Mohawks June 21 -- Etobicoke Terriers | June 28 -- Brampton Arm July § -- Teronto Township July 12 -- Mimico Moun- July 12 -- Mimico Mountain- July 26 -- Hastings Leglon-| AWAY GAMES Tuesday, May 18 -- Mimico (at Drum- Mond St. Bow!)
