Donovan There's a special place in New York University's track and field "hall of fame" for James Bruinel Herbert who wore the Violet silks from 1938 through 1940. Herbert was one of the greatest indoor rwmers of all time. At one time he was the world indoor record holder for 600 yards, 600 meters, 440 yards and 400 meters. He also w~ a magnificent relay rwmer. Long before he came to NYU, Jimmy was well known to !.."lctoor tr--;:~~::-11s as a star of the famed NY Curb Exchange AA. He had been a star quarter-mil er at !.,.. ~ y·/L-::Ont H.S. (N. Y. ). Jimmy began to run for the Curb team in the summer of 1933 or.J conti ...1uP.d to wear the Crimson silks until 1937.

NYCE teams dominated indoor relay races v1iti11:erb czt usually running the anchor legs. Often he ran as many as five quarter-mile legs in one meet, in cluding heats. At times he had to make up seemingly impossible yard ·., e to nail bis rivals at the tape. And if he got off in front there usucl.ly was no catc!l.ing him. Cu:rb teams made a long record of winning indoor relay championships ~d setting \-/orld :mtl American records, some of which still remoin on the books. They also won nu...-ncrous outdoor relay championships. setting records nlong the way. All this experience p~id of.l fO.( Simmy when he entered NYU in1D:.;•7 at the age of 21. Getting a college education wos not e:lSy for Jimmy who had to suptJort his widowed mother. As a freshman at NYU he worked and ran for the Curb !1xcchD.J1ge alter school hours. He took nll the Civil Service tests and later in :us career doubled as a student at NYU and a clerk in the post office. These long hours sometimes cut into his trcining sched ules. Jimmy won his first big indoor cup rQ.Cein Brooklyn, winning the Columbus 500 meter invitation in 1: 06. 6 from a good field ear ly in. 1937. This was the start of a long series of :i.ndividucl cup victories which c.'.lrricd him to the greatest heights and saw him win 35 assorted invitation rnccs and indoor ch.i.mpionships over a 10 yuar period . Few board floor racers have ever stayed on. top as long as the 5'11~", 155 pound Harlem born Negro with the silky stride. After his winning Brooklyn debut, Jimmy wcut up to Boston and raced to an electri - .tying triumph in the Prout 600, creating an all-time Boston record of 1: i4. 4, and handing Eddie O'Brien of Syracuse, natioll.ll and collegiate champion, the first middle distance loss of his indoor racing career. LD-ter th~ same year the newspapers rmi out of words to de scribe him after he won the Milrose 600 in 1: 12. 6 from O'Brion, John Woodruff, the Olympic 800m champ, and Charlie Bcetham of Ohio State, the AAU and NCAA title-holder. In this rocc Herbert hung 011 to O'Brien's sizzling p~c~ and wore him cJ0,,vn in t.l-testretch with a mighty surge. As usual, Jimmy came back later to anchor the NYCE mile relay teem and won over Jim Elliott of the Penn AC (now Villan.ov.i.'s coxh) with a fosL minut e spurt . Other triumphs followed and Jimmy emerged as the star of the 1937 indoor season. Although 19:37 had been a great yenr for Herbert, 1938 was even better. Now running for NYU aP a sophomore, Jimmy won 12 of his 14 starts in indivicu'.l! races ~7.d anchored the famous Violut relay teams of that year. A crack foursome of Martin Witte, Curtis Giddings, Edgar Stripling and Herbert anchoring, twice broke the track recoi"d at Madison Square Garden with 3:20. 2 and 3:19. 8 !or the one mile rcl~y. They also set a new championship 1600 meter rclny record of 3: 19. 4 1n the 1.1~umoot brenking o Heroort anchored NYCE' s record set in 1937. Herbert's breathtaking anchor legs always brought the huge crowds to their feet as he on occasions ron his anchor 440 in 48. 4, which was better than the world record. Jimmy's feet n~ver seemed to touch thcboards. His smooth style was flawless. A cagey runner, he rcn with a loose -gaited floating style . Uc exuded power and his finishing kick we.s the best seen m:ound. He met ond defeated some of the best qu:irtor-milers in in door track history, such as: Wa; Wallace, Howie Borek, Harley Howells, Jim Lightbody, Jr., Al Dicbolt, Frank Slater, Dick LW1dc.:llruid.Roy Cochran . He knew all the tricks of indoor racing and he ran the sharp curves with great skill. Often it was this experience which made the big difference between victory and defeat for the rnl!Ily relay teams he ~nchored and in the big cup races. By for, one of the most thrilling rli.Ces he ever ran was the Casey 600 in 1938. In this race he met Glenn Cunningham, the world 1 s fastest miler, who had just run the mile in 4: 04. 4 on Dartmouth's huge indoor track and who had a 12 race winning streak; Ho,-.,,1eBorek, wiry Manhattan College captain, who had won the IC4A title from Herbert the week JJcfcre and Wes Wallace of Fordham, holder of the only other decision over Herbert that year~ Jimmy met this great challenge like a true champion. Herbert roared off his marks and won the all important race to the first turn. Borek was third, Cunningham, off to a poor start, was fourth. The pounding of their spikes on the hard pine surface of the Garden Track was drowned out by the frenzy of the cheering 'throng as Herbert, pacing the pack, still led at the quarter. The frantic clanging of the bell for the final lnp was never heard. The crowd was i.n an uproar as Borek took off after Herbert with Cunningham in hot pursuit. Aro'..llld the final turn they roared. Borek seemed to close on Herbert with every stride and then the crowd shook the rafters. Cunningham was coming on! Inch by inch the mighty Knnsan closed on Borek and Herbert, but Jimmy stayed in front and came home a winner in 1:11.1, a new world record. Borek had also broken the old mark and Cunninghmn, who 75 minutes earlier had broken the official indoor mile mark, tied the old 600 mark. The crowd fell back delirious. E::irlicr in the year, Jimmy had won his first iru.lividucl National title by capturing the AAU indoor 600 meters in 1:20. 3, a wodd record which still stands. After his Casey victory, Herbert won a thrilling race in Chicago tying his new world GOOyard record. Herbert finished second in the outdoor AAU 440 to Ray Malott and that swnmer toured Europe. He was defeated by Malott ond Rudolf Harbig in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Jimmy's individual record was not outstnnding during the1939 indoor season as he slipped to 5th in world ranking. It was a year when Jimmy put in many hours in his post office job and devot ed more time to the NYU relay team. The time was well spent as the Violets won the climactic IC4A relay title and chased Fordham to an indoor record at Dart mouth. Outdoors, he finished third in the AAU 440 behin DAVE SIME (U.S.A.) 182 Points Dave Sime is tbe merchant of spaed. Medals, he has few. The Blue Devil of Dulce has scored more points for fast times, by the watch, in a brief period of campaigning, than any other sprinter. Curiously enough, almost his entire score in this system of rating is built on fast times. As ot Oct., 1958, he has never won a major championship that would give him a single point. The best he has done in champion ship competition were a second place in the 1956 NCAA 100 meters and a di sputed second or third in the snafu 100 of the 1957 AAU. Toot race wos so hutched up by the officials that no one to this day knows the exact order of finish. For tbc purposes of this record Leamon King retains his first place honor and we call it a tie for second between Sime ond Willie White cllcad of Ira Murchison. Thui Sime gets 3 points for a controvcrsiol second place tic, which seems to be the fairest way of settling it. Although he holds two victories over Bobby Morrow, Sime has never bl?aten a truly great runner for o major title ~d he has olways come up to the big moment with groin muscle troubk or som: thing else wrong with him. He still has 1960 and Rome ahead of hime ond may shoot nil the wo.y to th:! top of our list if he is ::Ible to stay well enough ..to mokc the Olympic team in the 100 meters. Not being~ good ruru1er M"Ounda tum, Sime does not seem to figure in the picture for 200 meters in the Olympics, though on o 220 straightaway he may be the gre/ltest of nll time. His 20 fl ...t 220 suggests this, as docs his onetime world 220 low hurdles record of 22. 2. Sime' s 15 points for that 20 flat race at S.mgcr in 1956 is equcl. highest ever scored by nny athlete in thes e listings for a single pcr formonce.

He closed his career as an amateur after the 1950 season with 188 points in my system of rating, and through 1958 the next highest non-American totol was just over 100. Being a Parulmanian citizen, LoBeoch represented that country in the 1948 Olympic Gam.?s where he won two bronze medals. He did most of his rumd.n g in the United States, when he was not on a world tour, and attended school at Wisconsin, UCLA and Loyola of Los Angeles. He began his career at Wis=onsin in 1946 and 1948 wt-s bis greatest year. He ran 100 meters in the world record time of 10. l ond gained all the wr.y down the tr3Ck on Mel Patton in Patton's memorable world record 9. 3 at Fresno. That same night LoBe3Ch ran 100 meters in 10. 2. LoBcach was one of the greatest of them all by the stopwatch but his record as a competitor was very spotty, possibly due to the fact that most of the time he acted as his own coach, trainer ond manager and was on barnstorming tours often enough to come up to many races well below true form. Lloyd's arch rival (mid close friend) was Herb McKcnley and it is to McKcnlcy's great credit he was able to win 9 from LnBcach while losing 8. Lloyd broke even with Patton in eigh t races and heki a 7 to 3 edge over Ewell. He turned professional in 1950 and compet ed as a pro ~ Bendigo and ether famous tracks in Australia.
