Anaheim Gazette SUNDAY MORNING, JAN. 4, 1953 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Gazette SPORT Landy Crowds 4-Minute Mile Although Sick and Breasting Strong Breeze MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 2, OP — John Landy, Australia's Olympic runner, hurried through a 4:02.4 mile today although he was sick with a cold and a strong breeze sent clouds of dust swirling through the air. It was the second time within a month that the lanky, 22-year-old speedster had come close to Gunder Haegg's world mark of 4:01.4 under adverse conditions. On Dec. 13 he did 4:02.1 on the same track, but in a heavy rain. Australians are convinced that the first time Landy tosses the mark under ideal circumstances that the long-sought four minute mile will become a realty. Today four timers clocked Landy in exactly the same time. Three others caught him at 3:44.4 for 1,500 meters. The world record time for that distance is 3:43 and Landy's effort today is believed to be the fastest ever made in the course of a mile run. Landy had to be urged by his coach-trainer, Percy Cerutty, to race today. The athlete found breathing difficult because of his cold and the brick dust track was hard and dry because the grounds keeper had been too ill to water it down for a week. But the black-haired runner, once he left the marks, gave it international peace and hood" during last Olympic games at Richards in Germany. The paper named Dagbladet named Landy the Olympic sport leader further international friendship. Critic made of roughness in handling the Oslo winter glove. The United States ada teams particularly criticized for rough training the sport is played in western hemisphere. "Sport should have prize," the paper contended.

Australia, Jan. 3 (AP)—Frank Sedgman and Ken McGregor, who signed a $100,000 contract this week for a professional tennis tour of America, may find themselves persona non grata in their native Australia. Two leading Australian amateur tennis officials said today their association is unlikely to help the pro troupe arrange shows on this little continent. The two Aussie Davis Cup stars left Sydney this morning by air for Los Angeles, where they are joining the Jack Kramer troupe. They will make their pro debut in Los Angeles next Tuesday. The president of the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia, Sir Norman Brookes, said in Melbourne. "amateur associations here would not like a sponsored professional tour." Emphasizing he was not speaking for the LTAA, he added it was a matter for the state associations whether they would allow professionals to use their home grounds. The president of the New South Wales Lawn Tennis Association, Bryan Fuller said in Sydney it would be "unthinkable" for his association to sponsor a Sydney visit by the Kramer troupe. "I think it would be unfair to expect the New South Wales and other state associations which made Sedgman and McGregor as amateurs to put their resources at the professionals disposal so they can make money for themselves." Fuller said. Vandals Eke Out Win over Cougars PULLMAN Wash.
