Alley Sets Next Goal As 300-Foot Throw
SHORT HILLS. N.J.—(UPI) Bill Alley, one of KU's five representatives on this year's United States Olympic track and field squad and holder of the world's longest javelin throw, has set his sights squarely on the 300-foot mark.
Alley, who threw the javelin 283 feet, 8 inches two weeks ago, says he will try for the mark at the Olympic Games in Rome next month.
It has been a lifelong ambition of the 6-foot, 3-inch, 227-pounder from Short Hills, N. J., to become one of the world's great athletes.
Alley has been strengthening his arm since boyhood by throwing wooden spears. He has never lost sight of his goal despite bone chips that doctors once feared would end his career.
Alley, 24, is a 1960 graduate of the University, where he set the U.S. collegiate record of 273 feet, 10 inches.
With a ready smile, he admits he has a somewhat unorthodox style of delivering the javelin.
"I sort of lope down the line and throw," he said. "I attribute my success mainly to strength."
A persistent trainer, Alley said he was working on his speed. "If I get more speed I feel I can throw 300 feet." he said.
"I hope to be the first man to do it. I wouldn't say I will do it in the Olympics, but I'll be throwing to win."
Raw-boned, brown-haired Alley sleeps 8 or 9 hours when he is in training—rising at 6 a.m., to hurl the javelin. He doesn't smoke or drink
In the off-season, he lifts weights
and occasionally drives golf balls or plays tennis.
He predicts his stiffest competition will come at Rome from Al Cantello of the United States, Juarz Sidlo of Poland, Carlo Levore of Italy and Michael Marquet of France.
A student as well as a practitioner of the javelin throw, Alley says he has great admiration for his Swedish and Finnish counterpartie
"You know," he said, "Finland has held the world's javelin throw record 15 times since 1912."
He says he uses a variation of the traditional Finnish javelin style.
"The difference is mainly in their run," he explained. "The Finns use three steps at the end of the run to get into a throwing position while I take five steps," he said. "They rely more on the run while I put more body weight into my throw."
Alley has designed his own javelins of aluminum and wood, which conform to AAU but not Olympic specifications. He took courses in aeronautical engineering as background for perfecting his javelins.
"To be the best in any sport you have to try many things that seem ridiculous," he said.
Alley was undefeated in college competition the past two years. His only defeats came in the AAU trials at Bakersfield, Calif., and the Olympic trials in Palo Alto, Calif., earlier this month when he sniked himself.
However, a week later at west Chester, Pa., in the AAU invitational, the soft-spoken athlete broke the world record.
During the past two weeks he has made 10 throws over 260 feet in official meets.
Never losing sight of his aim, Alley puts his philosophy thusly:
"If what you did yesterday seems great, you haven't done much today."
Ingo's Movie Life Could Fade Away
HOLLYWOOD—(UPI)—Ingemar Johansson will be fighting more than the heavyweight championship in his next bout with titleholder Floyd Patterson. A movie career will also be on the line for the big Swede.
Johansson is one of a growing number of athletes—such as boxers Rocky Marciano and Archie Moore and baseball stars Duke Snider and Don Drysdale who have been attracted by the financial lure of acting.
And insiders here feel that the handsome Scandinavian, who has already made one film and signed to do another, is major movie material—if he can beat Patterson. Otherwise, they feel, the public will regard him as just another has-been trying to cash in on his brief success.

Texan Strikes Water While Mowing Grass
Watson was mowing the grass at the home of Mrs. Bob Evans and struck water. The mower caused a round plot of grass to crumble, revealing an old water well that had been covered years ago.
PARIS, Tex. — (UPI) — Wilbert Watson has topped the old story about Texans digging for water and getting oil.
