' ,, - ' - The sports gap between the United ·-Stat~s and Russia is widening, , shot puttell' Parry O'Brien recently ,told Los Angeles sportswriter Bob Oates. Here is what O'Brien told Oates: In the opinion -of Pa:n:y O'Brien, the Beverly Hills (Calif.) banke:i; ivho has traveled - 360, 000 mi}e$_in 10 y~Ars advancing the science of shot putting, the world tends to judge -· , Russia .and America on their prestige in two fields -- --Space and sports. Therefore, he fears that the recent feats of American astronauts n1ay pe sqielding the public · here -from the truth t-pat1the sport ~ga.p is \videning at the same i time that the space ga,r­ is seemingly closing. O'Brien is due at Moscowfor the USA-USSR meet in July. But he ma) ' not go overseas, His reasons -- together with a summary of theincredibl~ differences today between the American and Russian approach to athletics -~ are included in a - survey for:.: _, ThG Los Ang~les Examiner by this veteran Olympian, who was the first human .to put the / shot 60 feet. The parallels Parry draws follow: , · Only one of the two nations is acvually prepar ,ing for this st1mmer's meeting, __ USS~: "The Russian track team, 'says _O'Brien, "went into hard training as a gro,up one month ago at an athletic base on the Black Sea. 1' _ _ , , USA: "Americans, ' exccpt for those in college, are still on their civilian jobs and will remain at their desks until they depart for Moscow." - _ ,i r Only one of the two teams is on salary. _ USSR: 'When the Russian athletes left -their civilian jobs lust month, , they were re­ placed by workers with similar abilities. The athletes are continuing on the ' same income they had when relieved, and will keep it until they r~tU:rn to their r~gular jobs. i• · USA:"The Americans who compete in Moscow will not be paid, of course. Those of us who are out of college, married and employed have the option of taking part of our vaca1ion _time. I am ·un~ecidcd at this point whether to _use my vacation for this purpose. 1During the : 1959 Soviet-American meet in Philadelphia, I spent Friday here at the bank, flew East Fri - day night, competed Saturday and flew home Sunday." · .Q!!_lybne nation supervises the conditioning and developing of its athletes. ', ' USSR: "At their Black Sea camp, the Soviet athletes are working full-time -under Russia'stop ,coachcs." - - - - _ · · · USA:" Americans are spare-time athletes. After a day· at the~ icc, we fight the traffic to a playground fora hasty w9rkout, minus supervision. However, it is true that our government officials did one thing for us. They gave us an extra hour for practice -- when . they authorized daylight saving. " · Philosophically, the two nations have irreconcilable views on amateurism. USSR:" An athlete , is an athlete - - neither amateur or professional. " _ USA: "Our c;:oncept of amateurism I ' irµposed by A very Brundage,' is antiquated, un;_ necessary and dangerous, the more so because ' the world thinks it's foolish~" - The _two nations have diverse views on what constitutes sport. _ . USSR:" The ~ us sian people are interested in the Olympie sports -:~ , , I ,. t, I gymnastics, ice hockey, soccer, water polo and the like. J' , USA;" The American people are interested in the three sports we invented, baseball; and American football. There is a great gulf between the sbrt of games we like, here in our little corne,r of the globe, and what the _rest of the world likes. This gulf, whic_h is not properly "understo<;xl in ..i\merica, cuts us off from the world and accounts for mU(;h of the troubl~ we get into. The Russians ha,ve forced themselves to ·enjoy the same --games, played on other continents, This is the r~al source of their advantage." _, _ The everyday sports rout'inc differs in the two nations. . , - , USSR: '' In Moscow, there are more than 200 athletic clubs competing in track and field. There are that many-and more in soccer and other sports.'.' ' USA: tt In Los Angeles, the Striders arc the only such club co.rppeting in tra!(:k and field. Furthermore, on the grade school and high school,level, there is little ~r no encoutage­ ment for the Olympic sports -- the very -sports that get concentration in Moscow from kinder- garten up. " . . - . · " ;,\ ' - C ivilµm participation. - ' - 11 • 11 USSR: In Moscow, all workers take two breathers every day, morning and afternoon I ) -- for the purpose of supervised exercise." USA:" In Los Angeles e:very day," O'Brien says, "we take two coffee · breaks." ' ( \ ' ,

I 5' .,-,:_ l , - I J Page 176' · _ · - June 21, .1961 Some of America's top trackmen may not go overseas this summer, Los Angeles ' sportswriter MaxweUStJ.e~ recently wrote in the Los Angeles Mirror. Stiles says: - _ , Cry for unhappy is the emotional condition of some of the American athletes who might be expected to make the dual meet team for Russia this summer. I was told recently some of the top stars will not go to Moscow because they object to the domineering attitude of AA U brass in charge of the trip. One athlete said he will not travel anywhere again with AA U brass so long as Dan Ferris and Pinky Sober are at the head of it all. The fact that nice guy Joe Mangan is to manage the team on the USSR trip may induce some of these men to change their minds, An , athlete who was in Moscow for the 1_958 dual meet cited the case as an example of what they say is, orat lea~t was wrong.

. Scul;)a tanks and crash helmets should be standard equipment for the hazardous 3, 000-meter barrier and water event, recommended Abilene Christian's John Lawler, the ,NCAA champion. , .· · In his first clash '!Viththe event in his ho iretown of Sydney, Australia, the red- headed Lawler tripped on the hurdle at the final water jump and was flung headlong into the water. ·Be recover~d to -finish third in the race. , , ''I said then that I would never run the steeplechase again,., Lawl :i. grinned. Water - pits in this country are somewhat different than in Australia. In 1959, his first attempt was ,made on a track with a permanent water jur.op, filled in the bottom and curbed with con- crete. - . "When I went .in, f stfuck my head on the . concret~ pottom. It took about 30 seconds forme to recover ~d struggle out," Lawler recalled. Pits in this country are usually _ freshly dug, lined :with a ,tarpaulin ,and filled with water. In Lawlcr's second steeplechase - attempt he finished third at the 1960 Kansas Relays with a time of 9:42.1. ''The roughest pa:rt of the steeplechase, " Lawler said, "is taking the jar, especially ,,· at the water jump. It really gets bad late in the race when the ' 'begins to leave your legs." Last season Lawler established a national freshman record for the steeplechase of 9:09, O, running third in the Coliseum Relays. Once again this year he felt the shock of a plunge into the water. At the , after anchoring the Abilene Christian team to a 9:51. 5 victory, he tried the steeplechase. _ "My legs felt like ,rubbef, '' Lawler reported, " every time I hit the track off a hurdle." After about four or five laps, the ACC runner faltered and the top of the water jump and fell to his knees in the water. "That took all the starch out of me, " Lawler said, Later he ,· picked up his first major victory in the steeplechase at the with a 9: 14. 2 clock- , ing. He returned to Franklin Field last weekend and won the NCAA title with a meet record . 9:01.1.

QUOTABLE QUOTES GEORGE EASTMENT, Manhattan track coach: "The Penn Relays are victims of big~ ness. They've outgrown the facilities. They've reached the point of no return and everything they do now has got to be wrong. But the Penn Relays are the backbone of track and have \_,, served as an inspiration to thousand's. It was my biggest ~thrill as a New York schoo4,oy to run down there, " · , CHUCK WILKINSON, NCAA javelin champion: "I feel I have the strength, speed ahd mental preparation to throw 280'. But my coordin;:ition ••• I don't know." l 0 ~ ' ; \ ' Page 177 . BEST PERFORMERS BY AGE (OUTDOORS)
