Easton Predicts Sub-4:00 Mile
Kansas and the Big Eight will have its first sub-four minute mile in history tomorrow. That's the qualified conviction of Jayhawker Track Coach Bill Easton, who forecasts such heroes for his latest ace. Bill Dotson, in the 74th National AAU at Walnut, Calif.
"All along Billy has been reluctant to pour on a killing pace and set-up the race himself," Easton points out. "He simply hasn't realized his own great potential."
"NOW AFTER his 4:00.5 in the NCAA he has a realization of how good he really is. I am firmly convinced he'll run under 4 minutes this weekend."
Right here it should be noted that Dotson's clocking for third behind Oregon's defending champion, Dyrol Burleson — he clocked 3:59.8 — and Bill Cornell of Southern Illinois, who hit the same figure as Dotson, is the best ever unwound by a Big Eight harrier while still in college livery. Yes, it's better than Wes Santee ever ran. Santee's lowest while wearing Kansas colors was 4:00.6 at the 1954 Compton Invitational, for a new Intercollegiate and American record. Wes fired 4:00.5 a year later at the Texas Relays for another new American mark in his first post-college year.
Dotson's time pared .02.4 off his previous low of 4:02.9 recorded behind Burleson in last year's NCAA. Too, it was the Jamestown senior's fourth journey under 4:05.0. Oddly, he didn't win any of the four.
TOMORROW HELL be in with four established sub-four-minute flyers, Cary Weisiger, formerly of Duke; Jim Beatty, Jim Grelle, and Burleson. The latter's stabilemate, Keith Forman, would make it five, but is likely to go to Three Miles. Forman was fourth at Eugene in 4:04.5, although he's hit 3:58.3 this year. The top two in each event will qualify for a spot on the United States team which meets Russia at Stanford next month.
"Altho Bill has fair speed his great talent is his ability to pour on the pace all the way and still have as good a kick at the end as he would have if he tried to save a little," Easton says. "He is strong enough to do it. This is his forte. This is his way to do it, and he's just now finding it out. He can't lay back and run a slow first half, then make it up at the end against a good sprint miler. He's great, but he's just now realizing it.
JIM'S CAFE 838 Mass. GOOD FOOD DAY and NIGHT
"He was as fresh as a daisy after that race at Eugene. He walked down the track and talked to me and was scarcely breathing hard. He had a lot left. He could have run under four minutes in that race. He could have made it really tough on Burleson.
"AT THE TIME of our Relays, unbeknownst to me, he anchored our four-mile relay team (he clocked 4:05.2 to ramrod a new meet record of 16:53.1) with a sore throat and temperature. Then he came back the next day to anchor our two-mile team and ran his poorest half in years. I was as surprised as anyone to learn the reason. He was sick. That hard mile the day before with a temperature and sore throat had put him under.
Dotson will be KU's lone starter in the NAAU. High-Jumper Ron Swanson and Pole-Vaulter Jack Stevens, both of whom went unplaced in the NCAA, are waiving.
"He was a long time coming back from what turned out to be a case of flu. He just got back to the condition he was before the Relays a couple of weeks ago. He showed this with that win (1:49.6) in the Houston Meet of Champions 880."
Sales Costs
NEW YORK — (UPI) — It costs American companies an average of $30.35 every time one of their industrial salesmen calls on a prospect, a survey published by McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. showed. This is three times as high as in 1945.

Salina Wives Ask Suffrage
Music Man
Wives of KU Quarterback Club members in Salina are striking for full football suffrage.
A group of 30 Salina female Jayhawkers asked for and received a spot on the current Kansas University Ambassador tour on which Halfback Tony Leiker and Fullback Ken Coleman are stumping the state. Leiker appeared before the group, which was as interested in learning more about the game itself as about the Jayhawkers' 1962 prospects.
Mrs. Lillard asked for a separate session ahead of the regular all-male gathering, but there is a possibility the two will be combined because of Replogle's tight schedule that carries him to every section of the state each week.
Their enthusiasm was so high after Leiker's clinic that Mrs. Tom Lillard, wife of a Salina attorney, wrote Coach Jack Mitchell requesting a spot for the ladies on the Jayhawkers' regular autumn quarterback circuit, handled by Wayne Replogle.
"It's a tremendous idea," says Mitchell, who along with wife Jeanne conducted a Kitchen Quarterback Club when he was head coach at Wichita.
Everything's Almost Right
BURLINGTON, Iowa — (UPI) Four Air Force men got everything right but the month.
They landed their C123 cargo plane at the Municipal Airport, climbed out and announced to officials, "Here's the plane we promised you for the annual Burlington Air Show."
Officials expressed their appreciation, but said the show was scheduled for July 15, not June 15. The embarrassed fliers turned around and went back to Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Ill.
A recent government survey has shown that very few zebus are "stone deaf."
